Mori, Ashley <br />From: <br />Megan <wildmindgarden@gmail.com> <br />� OH S 'PUN q MEP <br />21-01 <br />Sent: <br />Wednesday, August 19, 2020 10:23 PM <br />, - -dII -, I <br />'„n u6 <br />20 p <br />To: :. <br />Planning Internet Mail <br />c _ ^r . <br />u , s <br />2012 <br />Aloha commissioners, <br />I feel like many- others that Kona's coastline has more -than enough <br />development. With overall, hotel occupancy so low there seems to be no <br />requirement to build a hotel at the airport. <br />These are zone changes to conservation lands that are being proposed and <br />this is just plain wrong. Please stop this plan from going any further. <br />A change of County code- and zoning to allow a hotel and conference <br />center at Kona International Airport is unnecessary and untimely for the <br />following reasons: <br />. The lands surrounding the airport are conservation zoned most <br />preserved as protected public space after landmark legal rulings <br />('O'oma, Kekaha Kai State Park, Kohanaiki, Kaloko-Honokohau <br />Cultural Historic Park, etc.). <br />.It's rare that flight crew or passengers are stranded at our small, end - <br />of -the -line airport. And with nearby hotel occupancy often at as low <br />as 10%, why not support existing accommodations instead of <br />building more? <br />.In October 2019 the Honolulu Airport was rated third worst in the <br />nation due to poor management (Associated Press). Why would we <br />entrust the same entity to manage a similar facility in Kona? <br />Please deny any amendment to this ordinance that would allow a hotel and <br />conference center to be✓ built at Kona 's airport. <br />Mahalo, <br />2821 <br />.011 <br />Le <br />AN6 5. <br />4 <br />
