<br /> W.H. lEOPMAN, L'I'D. <br /> Senator LeVln <br /> December l3, 1999 <br /> Pave 3 <br /> Further, we have taken it upon ourselves m meet with intatroated groups and <br /> individuals. In addition m urself we love met with the Puna Commtmity <br /> Council sad the Pnaa rc Safety Committee In tlI we have conducted <br /> eight presentations and have extended o8lers m other grou~rs -they need <br /> only to ask. I would suggest that this imptutaat goatian will receive the <br /> scrutiny it deserves. <br /> In closing, thaaka m the cooperation of DOT we have designed iatecsection <br /> improvements drat can be retrofitDed to the aooa m be complttted Volcano <br /> Highway/Bypess intersection without advetaety impactlttg ttni~c. Those <br /> improveraeats would allow ut to build out the ~ development with <br /> the traffic itapacxs outlined is the TL~R. Should ere rrcedve this tteoessary <br /> approvals W, t•L Shipman, Limited b~ m tttaloe a ntbstatttisl <br /> investment in the futuro a~f Puna. At' a paaible tetura on our <br /> investment the project will tasttlt in a rye of bssu~ for the Puna <br /> community, the County, and the State. Theme 6mssta ittelude the creation of <br /> hundreds of oemporary wasttttction jobs illlowed by several httttdred <br /> permanent jobs, increased county property tux revamr4 increased state <br /> general excise taz tovetttte, and canvettttmce m Putter Issudr3nts who will find <br /> more of their Heads ma wlthia their tx>mntuaity than at ~ea~t. We think <br /> those benefits far outweigh the Impacts bdentifted in the C6R. Fratticly <br /> though, our opinion isn't the acne that oouats; ntdter it will be oi'IIcials at the <br /> Department of Tranapottation and the County Council that will decide. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity m eapreaa our position. Please contact me <br /> should you have any further cotntneats err questions. <br /> Sirtoeaely. <br /> Robert E. Saunders <br /> Prrsid:nt <br /> x: Mr. ICazu liayashida <br /> <br />
