RE: Transmittal for Drafr 3 of Bill l62
I am submitting for your consideration Drafr 3 of Bill 162. I have reviewed Council
member Pilagds transmittal letter and his amendment to Bill 162. I disagree with the
amended language of Condition H in his Draft 2 of Bill 162. I feel that the requirements
stated therein are excessive given the circumstances.
Furthermore, I do not appreciate the misuse of my name in the transmittal letter. Mr.
Pilago implies that I requested the excessive requirements of his Draft 2 amendment to be
imposed upon the applicants. You will recall that during our discussion in the
November 22, 2005 council meeting, I stated that Condition H needed additional
language. However, at no time did 1 suggest, imply, or otherwise propose this
unwarranted condition. My comment at the council meeting was to treat all applicants
fairly. Therefore, the language I am proposing for Condition H, via Draft 3 of Bill 162, is
lair to all applicants and is a standard requirement for subdivision approval
My proposed amendment to Bill 162 is as follows:
H. Prior to submittal of a subdivision application for the subject propertv, the
applicant shall upon consultation with surroundine propertv owners and
other concerned public agencies_,_prepare and submit a drainage plan
relating to the proposed subdivision for review and approval of the
Department of Public Works The approved drainage plan shall reflect all
development venerated runoff to be retained or disposed of on-site and
shall not alter anv existing water courses that may be entering or exiting
the subject propertv or be directed toward anv adjacent properties.
Furthermore the approved drainage plan shall be implemented prior to or
in conjunction with the issuance of final subdivision approval. jtlll

It is also my understanding that the Inaba family made good faith efforts to set up a
public meeting to discuss the drainage concerns, as requested by Council member Pete
Hoffmann, but due to scheduling problems within the Waimea community, a meeting has
not been held. I trust that the scheduling problems within the Waimea community will
not have a negative impact on this application.
Very truly yours, I~
