Angel; Jacobson, Bob; Hoffmann, Pete; Yagong, Dominic; Naeole, Emily; YosFiimoto, J; <br /> Higa, Stacy; Ikeda, Donald , <br /> Subject: Subject: Support Communication 176.35/Oppose Communication 176.40 <br /> May 14, 2007 <br /> Aloha Chairperson Ford and members of the Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations Committed, <br /> Subject: Support Communication 176.35/Oppose Communication 176.4.0 <br /> <br /> I am writing in support of amending Bill 51 as proposed in Communication 176.35 from Brenda Ford. <br /> Specifically, I support: <br /> • placing strict limits on the amount of development that can occur on slopes that are 10% or greater. <br /> • raising the requirements in Chapter 27 from the 10-year flood standard to the 100-year flood standard. <br /> • bringing specific requirements from the County's General Plan, Section 5. Flooding and Natural Hazard, into <br /> Chapter 27, the County's Floodplain Management law <br /> • requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County <br /> agencies and the general public. <br /> • requiring 30-year old flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood channels, but <br /> numerous mauka/makai "historic ditches" that only flow intermittently during high rainfall events. <br /> Finally, I oppose Communication 176.40 from Public Works Director Bruce McClure requesting postponement of the <br /> above amendments being proposed by Council members Brenda Ford and Pete Hoffmann. I see no reason to postpone. <br /> Aloha, <br /> Esta Marshall <br /> P.O.Box 916 Honanau, HI 96726 <br /> Comm. P~!o. 17 ~o • ~'~'S <br /> 5/14/2007 t~~r; •."~~....:.~.~x^1._ <br /> <br />
