From: Don Carroll <br /> To: LPCtestimony <br /> Subject: RE:Agenda item no. 7—Bill 123 <br /> Date: Wednesday,April 10,2024 9:59:04 PM <br /> Leeward Planning Commission <br /> First, Thank you for the opportunity to testify. <br /> I am in support of Bill 123, which would abolish the "ohana dwelling" <br /> permit, redefine ohana dwellings as "accessory dwelling units" and <br /> make changes to where and how such units are allowed to be built. <br /> ADU's are a convenient way to house older or younger family <br /> members. Basically helping with current housing shortage. <br /> This is true in our family. Whereas we have a son currently living in our <br /> ohana. He is able to work on the Big Island and not spend a large <br /> portion of his income on rent. Currently saving to purchase his own <br /> home in the future. <br /> Please note: I Am a Hawaii resident and a register voter living in the <br /> Puna District <br /> Respectably <br /> Don Carroll <br /> 13-3441 Kupono St <br /> Pahoa Hi 96778 <br /> 808-557-8717 <br />
