Subject: Testimony in Support of Bill 246 proposed by the Planning Director.
Aloha Chairman Higa and County Council Members:
This note is sent in strong SUPPORT of the Planning Director's proposed Bill No. 246
amending Chapter 23 of the Hawaii County Code. I have read the proposed amendment
which I find makes great sense and I have also read some of the comments from those
opposed to it and conclude that either they do not understand the subdivision process, or
are pretending that this is the case.
The proposed amendment from Mr. Yuen will IN NO WAY reduce County requirements
for subdivision, nor does it limit oversight or public input where this is appropriate. It
merely makes the whole process more effective and thus is very much in the best
interests of both the public and private sector.
We have a democratically-elected Council and they approve all the administration's
appointments. If the main the opposition who would attempt to intimidate the Council
and public officials over this matter are "self-appointed" it would appear that narrow,
self-interest and financial gain are possible motivations.
The Council is elected to govern through their appointed officials and they should do this
as appropriate, consulting with their constituents where needed, but not being directed by
them.
I urge you to allow the Planning Director to fulfill his job obligations and ask that you
provide full support and approval of this Bill.
Very truly yours,
R. A. Stuit
