Subject: Bill 166 objection
Aloha,
My name is Michael Eldred and I live next to the subject property that is requesting to subdivide from 20
acres to four 5-acre properties. My family has owned and lived on our property for 11 years.
I object to the subdivision only to help preserve the forest in Kaloko Mauka. Most people buy property in
this subdivision and then bulldoze the land, which is heartbreaking for those that appreciate its natural and
unique ecosystem. I would prefer to see the land preserved. I see no rules for helping maintain the diversity
and natural setting of the land, so it is entirely up to the owners to decide what is destroyed and what is
preserved. This is why I object to Bill 166.
I acknowledge that the previous owner of my property did take down some trees where my house
sits. However, I don't remove trees on my property and let the forest around my house be as it is: natural. I
wish that others would do the same. I also acknowledge that the owner of the property has a right to
subdivide and sell off the units for others to build their houses. Objecting to Bill 166 is my way of helping the
forest.
Respectfully,
Michael Eldred (pc)
