Re: Condominium Property Regime (CPR)
Aloha, Council IVlembers:
Plan to Protect promotes responsible land use planning that seeks a balance between
environmental protection, quality of life, and economic opportunity. Our goal is sustainable use
of the island's resources.
PTP strongly supports the proposed ordinance to ensure that, when land is divided using a
Condominium Property Regime, the individual units created are adequately served by roads and
other infrastructure, and that drainage and flooding issues are properly addressed.
There is an argument put forth by others, that folks in Ag districts should not be restricted from `
using CPRs to separate land interest because current laws allow double density now. However
there is a big difference from building a second house for farm use and using the CPRs to split
the farm in to two properties.
The present usage of CPR's undermines the very designation of agricultural lands, since it
promotes the building of more houses for profit as opposed to crops, and thus threatens the
agricultural lands with encroachment and inflated land values.
The new law is needed to insure that the purpose of agricultural lands is not compromised and
that County Plaiming is not subverted by the CPR loophole, as it has in the past.
S~incerely, /
