Support Comm. 176.35-Oppose Comm. 176.40
Aloha Chairperson Ford and members of the Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations Committee:
I am writing in support of amending Bill 51 as proposed in Communication 176.35 from Councilperson Ford.
Specifically I support:
I) placing strict limits on the amount of development that can occur on slopes that are ] 0% or greater.
2) raising the requirements in Chapter 27 from the ] 0-year flood standard to [he 100-year flood standard.
3) bringing specific requirements from the County's General Plan, Section 5. Flooding and Natural Hazard, into Chapter 27, the County's Floodplain
Management law
4) requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County agencies and the general public.
5) 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.
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 should be nixed by this committee.
Mahalo for your consideration of my views on this topic of dire importance to our island ecosystem, economy, and way of life.
