GOODsin ANDERSON QUP\1N & SITFEL <br />A LIMITED LIABILITY LAW PARTNERSHIP LLP <br />Planning Department <br />Hawaii County Council <br />June 27, 2002 <br />Page Three <br />Resorts. Utilities and access to this property are available from and will be provided <br />through existing roadways and facilities within the Waikoloa Beach Resort, and WLCC <br />envisions that this parcel will effectively function as part of and be a major component of <br />the existing Waikoloa Beach Resort. In 1976, when the Waikoloa Beach Master Plan <br />was developed none of the Waikoloa entities owned TMK (3) 7-1-003:10. The parcel <br />was acquired in 1989 with the intent that it would be annexed into the Waikoloa Beach <br />Resort. To exclude this parcel from the General Plan designation assigned to the <br />Waikoloa Beach Resort would not be consistent with the function, location, spatial <br />relationship and topography of this property, or with the manner in which access and <br />utility services will be provided to this property. <br />In his letter to the Planning Commission, the Planning Director suggests <br />that the reason for not approving the requested change is that an environmental <br />assessment is required. We disagree. An environmental assessment is not required for <br />amendments to the General Plan that are made as part of the comprehensive plan review <br />initiated by the County. <br />We look forward to your response. In the meantime, should you have any <br />questions regarding this matter, please contact either myself or Eleanor Mirikitani at <br />(808) 886-1000. <br />Very truly yours, <br />GOODSILL ANDERSON QUINN & STIEEL <br />Leighton J. t <br />LJY:Iay <br />Enc. <br />cc (w/o Enc.): Thos Rohr <br />Eleanor Mirikitani <br />
