From the shape of the parcel (G-5), it seems that the ~iELCO parcels and portions of public or DHHL land to the north of the HELLO parcels are proposed for "Urban Expansion." (This would be the area mauka of the airport traffic light that leads to the proposed university, Site G-4). Because the K-K Plan excludes industrial uses mauka, because the HELLO station will eventually be "retired," because the Statc has the option to purchase the HELLO site and because you should discourage industrial uses of the HELLO site and environs, I think you should control the use of this area (G-5). As the entry to the university area (G-4) , I see shops, stores and related "University Village" and apartments. HELLO should not be ?il^~s1pf? t~ °~ir~?C~: ~h.3i i:aii i1S8 i.iii5 deSi.yl'?at1UI1 ~O keep 1tS industrial use or to upzone its land to office buildings, etc. Its generators (D18 ~ D23 and CT-2) will wear out in time and should not be replaced. Perhaps a "University Use" designation might be better for G® 5. Please make sure we do the right thing here. The HELLO parcels and a few Ag lots are the so-called "gateway" to Kona from the airport. Thank you. Yours truly, Michael J . Matsukawa MJM: j ff\m;sc\g-plan.ltl >File No. xc: Wayne P. Nasser, Esq., DHHL f~' Enc North Kona Sheet Ref. To: Ref. B ~ ~ Zd~~
