Aloha Chairperson Ford and members of the Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations Committed,
Subject: Support Communication 176.35/Oppose Communication 176.4.0
I am writing in support of amending Bill 51 as proposed in Communication 176.35 from Brenda Ford.
Specifically, I support:
• placing strict limits on the amount of development that can occur on slopes that are 10% or greater.
• raising the requirements in Chapter 27 from the 10-year flood standard to the 100-year flood standard.
• bringing specific requirements from the County's General Plan, Section 5. Flooding and Natural Hazard, into
Chapter 27, the County's Floodplain Management law
• requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County
agencies and the general public.
• requiring 30-year old flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood channels, but
numerous mauka/makai "historic ditches" that only flow intermittently during high rainfall events.
Finally, I oppose Communication 176.40 from Public Works Director Bruce McClure requesting postponement of the
above amendments being proposed by Council members Brenda Ford and Pete Hoffmann. I see no reason to postpone.
Aloha,
Esta Marshall
