Ganzagan Testimony in Support of Bill 150

Date MAR 1 8 2020
We are in support of Bill 150 and requesting that TMK: 3-2-4-28-9 be
rezoned back to RS 7.5.
We have been dealing with Mr. Tai's neglect of maintenance of fids property
since he purchased it in 2005. It has become obvious that he does not care about
the welfare of his neighbors even in the face of the Notices of Violation given to
him on June 21, 2019 and the additional one on January 28, 2020.
Our entire neighborhood has been affected by his refusal to maintain his
property which affects at least three subdivisions and all properties that are
adjacent to his. His trees have not been trimmed since his purchase and now tower
over our homes in excess of 60-70 feet. We have no access to these trees and the
shear height of them and safety risks makes it impossible for us to enjoy our
backyards. As a neighborhood many have requested numerous times for Mr. Tai
to be a good neighbor yet he refuses. There was even testimony at the previous
Planning Commission meetings, Community Meeting requested by the Planning
Department and letters to the neighbors from Mr. Tai himself that discuss these
hazards.
Since he has not been in compliance with the County of Hawaii Ordinance
for unsafe flora and fauna going as far back as to when the rezoning occurred, then
it only makes sense to revert the property to its original zoning. If Mr. Tai was
concerned about his neighbors and their health and well-being then he would have
addressed this problem long ago. His refusal to comply with State Law and the
County Ordinance is the defining reason for the request of the zoning reversal.
Sincerely,
Jeremy and Lanette Ganzagan
