Dear Council Chair Hoffmann and Council members:
OK, so maybe I am naYve. But I can't understand why developers, architects, engineers or anybody
would be against the best flood control management that the County can muster. Certainly profit motive
cannot be a reason over the sense of ohana for the Island. FEMA and National Flood Insurance Program
encourage governmental entities to develop local standards that exceed their minimum. This is not
exclusively a singular issue for any district; flooding occurs anywhere and for the most part, one shoe
does fit all.
There was an advertisement years ago in which a mechanic pushing oil filter change touted the audience
with the phrase, "You can pay me now or you can pay me later." This is an instance where proper
regulation now will save much in the future when obvious solutions may not be possible and therefore
will be outrageously expensive with over-development.
Please vote for the changes as proposed in Bi1151, draft 4.
