May 4, 1998 <br /> Mr. James Arakaki, Chairman <br /> County Council <br /> County Of Hawaii <br /> _ 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> - Dear Mr. Arakaki: <br /> - Subject Rezoning Of Land - Keaau Bypass <br /> Zoning From ML-20 to MCX <br /> Tax Map Key: 3-1-6-3-95 <br /> We would like to support the Plamm~g Department's vision and efforts to further develop the <br /> town of Keaau as a strong growing commercial district supporting the Puna area as well as <br /> _ supporting the planned Keaau bypass as a fast efficient route between Hilo and Puna. <br /> We aze pro development and encourage businesses to locate in the Keaau Town area. The <br /> district of Puna will continue to grow as a lazge bedroom community for East Hawaii and having <br /> a good growth plan is vital for this azea. <br /> Our concerns for planning include the following: <br /> <br /> - I Twenty acres of MCX zoning use would create a lazge business district that <br /> would detract from the growth of Keaau town and defeat the purposed intent <br /> of the Keaau bypass. The purpose of the Keaau bypass should remain as a <br /> <br /> - bypass with its mission to support quick efficient travel that reduces travel <br /> time between the Puna District and Hilo. <br /> <br />
