<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> May 1, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> Honorable Stacy Higa, Chairman <br /> Members of the Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Chairman Higa and County Council Members, <br /> <br /> The Japanese Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Hawaii requests that <br /> the Council support Council Bill 246. <br /> <br /> We have reviewed the Planning Director's letter to the Council and find his <br /> reasoning sound. Adding cumbersome and costly steps onto the Planning <br /> Department's subdivision process is not the answer to good planning and <br /> zoning. <br /> <br /> These steps would impact the largest but also the smallest developer, and <br /> prove to be burdensome to unintended parties. <br /> <br /> Open and clear debate about subdivisions may be needed in our state and <br /> county, but new layers of bureaucracy are rarely an adequate solution. <br /> <br /> We urge you to vote for this measure. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Barbara A. Hastings <br /> Board Member <br /> Japanese Chamber of Commerce & Industry <br /> 400 Hualani St., Suite 20B <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> <br /> <br /> Com n No. 161.44 <br /> Ref. Tai <br /> Ref.
