<br /> December 19, 2005 <br /> Linda K. Frias <br /> Subject: Rezone Inabe A40 to 5 Acre farm lots <br /> Hawaii County Council Members <br /> I would like to address several sensitive issues planned and occurring in our <br /> neighborhood. <br /> 1- The Department of Planning approved this rezoning prior to hearing our <br /> testimony? Why have all these hearings been at times and places that <br /> were totally inconvienent for us to attend? <br /> 2- Since these are only 5 lots why not let the property owner have access <br /> from Mamalahoa highway? Why are we spending taxpayer money to <br /> extend roads from Kipahele? Is this rezoning setting the wheels in motion <br /> for a larger subdivision waiting in the wings for these lands? <br /> 3- What safeguards will be put in place by you to assure our community <br /> these lots will not be rezoned again to smaller farm lots? <br /> 4- The Rezoning indicates 40 acre important agriculture lands to 5 acre farm <br /> lots what kind of farm activity can we expect will take place on this land? <br /> 5- Will the farm activity include spraying of pesticides and will the <br /> surrounding homes have any protection? <br /> 6- Will the farm activity include traffic of trucks hauling goods thru Kipahele? <br /> 7- Will farm activity include farm equipment constantly altering the lands? <br /> 8- Who will protect the mauka slope from alteration since the grade is most <br /> likely unsuitable for farm activity? Has there been a study for agriculture <br /> activity on this portion of the 40 acres? <br /> 9- The Planning Committee made a recommendation for the Department of <br /> Public Works to perform a water study. What is the present status of this <br /> water study? <br /> 10-How are your going to resolve and address our present inadequate <br /> drainage and flooding problems? <br /> I would like to also say we need you to be a Hero and stand by and protect our <br /> community and think about how your decisions will affect our neighborhood. <br /> q3•~ <br /> Cern~n.
