Pu'uanahulu Community Association <br /> 71-1581 Mamalahoa Hwy <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> May 3, 2001 <br /> Chairman of the Hawaii Planning Commission <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> 25 Aupuni St. <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Dear Mr. Chairman: <br /> Subject: Tune Extension Request _ Condition 4, Use Permit No. 74, <br /> Condition 3, Special Permit No. 863; and Condition 10~. and 10(2), <br /> Ord. 99-79, Big Lsland Country Club, T10~£: 7-1-5: 9, et al. <br /> The Puuanahulu Community Association (PCA} is supportive of another time <br /> extension request. <br /> BICC is operating under serious financial duress and is presently trying to remedy <br /> this problem by selling the development. PCA realizes that satisfactory compliance with <br /> these conditions is dependent on financial viability of the owner of BICC and considers a <br /> time extension necessary so that the sale can be completed. <br /> This process began January 1990. In July 2000, PCA received title to the parcel of <br /> land where our park will be located. The community continues to work diligently with <br /> BICC. We think that both the present owner of BICC and the prospective buyer are <br /> demonstrating good faith to comply with the permit and zoning conditions. <br /> BICC reconfirmed fulfilling their commitment to create employment training <br /> opportunities and provide water to the community living on the makai side of Mamalahoa <br /> highway. PCA respectfully requests as a condition of granting this extension that <br /> BICC pay the real property taxes for the next three (3) years, and if additional time <br /> extension is needed to complete the project that payrnent of real property taxes will be <br /> paid by the developer until compliance with the conditions is complete. It is our <br /> understanding that conditions on these permits are binding on whoever resumes this <br /> project. <br /> PCA considers it has been more than reasonable in supporting the developer <br /> during its financial difficulties. However, we are impatient and want to see our <br /> <br /> community park, recreational center and fire station facilities promised to the community <br /> <br /> as mitigation for the development. <br /> Sinc re y, , <br /> N~ <br /> u'ulei Ke ealani <br /> 1 President <br /> Comm.
