Subject: Testimony in favor of Resolution 377 -10
Aloha, my name is Laura Lamm and I reside on Kama'oa Road. I would like to state for
the record that I am in favor of Resolution 377 -10; Resolution to Privatize Old
Homestead Road, Ka'u.
1) The Council now knows that this dirt road is NOTHING like it is shown on
County maps & Google;
2) It also now knows that Teri Nguyen wrongfully and illegally led her supporters
onto private property and declared it public;
3) It's always been clear that there's no beach access, no parks, no public lands and certainly
no place to even park a vehicle without committing trespass;
4) The Council knows that numerous County departments have done their review and
agree that this road does not serve a public purpose;
5) Teri Nguyen's claim that Hawaiian families will be blocked from their family
grave sites is completely false, unless she's talking about her own property. Those
sites are protected by law and always will be. It's interesting that her Deed does not
include Old Gov't Road as part of the granted access;
7) As we all know now, she has blown up this issue into some conspiracy theory
while verbally and viciously attacking two long -time local families — and for
what ?? — so she can increase the value of her property;
8) All the landowners, except for her, have worked together for years, maintaining
different portions of the road at their own expense — she has not once participated
in keeping the road maintained even tho she uses it just like everyone else.
This Country is run on the concept of "majority- rule" - it does not reward the
minority voter who shows up and proceeds to deceive the community about the
truth...then denigrates and slanders their neighbors. The landowners involved here
are in agreement to privatize this dirt road 5 to 1.

If the Council is concerned about future possibilities for this land, then lease the road
to the current landowners in, say 20 yr increments. Then they can continue to use it as
it is zoned — for Agriculture, and not another Pacific Quest. The cost to taxpayers and
the liability to the County to formally declare this road "public" could be staggering.
If ANY road improvements are going to be made in this area, they should be made to
South Point Road not this dirt road.
