Dear Mr. Olson:
We are writing to challenge, and indeed, to protest strongly, the proposed
Record Lot determinations of our two properties on Big Island, because
such determinations would
1. Seriously decrease the value of proposed Record Lot 024; and
2. Disproportionately increase the value of and taxes on proposed
Record Lot 027.
We own two properties on Big Island, each consisting of three lakefront
parcels and one interior parcel, and each of approximately the same value.
1. One property (formerly owned by Gus Roos) includes three lake
shore parcels and one small interior parcel, and is currently
valued (EMV) at $35,300.
2. The second, adjoining, propert formerly oimed by Sam Chase)
includes three lake shore Iantf one large interior parcel,
and is currently valued (EMV) at $37,900.
At these values, and with these lake shore parcels, both properties are
equally - and very highly - desirable to ourselves and to prospective,
future "islanders."
The proposed determinations would drastically change the desirability and
values of both properties.
Record Lot 027 would include five (5) lake shore parcels (two (2) of them
taken away from the other property and added onto this one), and no
interior parcels.
Record Lot 024 would be left with only one (1) lake shore parcel, and would
be stuck with both (2) interior parcels.
The value of Lot 024 would be seriously damaged; while the value of Lot

#27 and the property taxes on it would be disproportionately increased.
An obvious and simple way to make two Record Lots out of our two present
properties is to combine the two interior parcels and then divide the re-
sulting single interior parcel between the two Record Lots.
This will make each Record Wt almost the same size; will leave each Lot
with three (3) lake shore parcels and one (1) interior parcel; and will
leave each with approximately the same value (EMV) and property tax lia-
bility.
Yours truly,
