My clients <br /> <br /> °want to make it clear that county officials have tried to justify <br /> <br /> „putting this site into an Urban expansion area for unjustified <br /> <br /> :.reasons. <br /> 1. First, planners told the public that the <br /> General Plan LUPAG map change was an error (Kealakehe <br /> Intermediate School meeting). <br /> 2. Second, planners then told the public that the <br /> change was to conform to a prior Director's <br /> interpretation (King Kamehameha Beach Hotel), the Court <br /> ruling in Civil 96°017K notwithstanding. <br /> 3. Third, planners now tell the public that tr.Q <br /> HELLO site is an "island" of Conservation district land <br /> and should be urbanized as a matter of sound planning. <br /> The problem here is that the State told HELLO for sound <br /> <br /> :planning HELLO should change its land from Conservation to Urban <br /> <br /> -:back in 1993. HELLO refused and wanted to keep its land as an <br /> itisland," no matter what state planners wanted in order to get a <br /> CDUP by default. <br /> Now, HELLO is being forced by the BLNR to do what HELLO <br /> -was told to do nine years .ago and after nine years of litigation <br /> -that has proven that the State was correct from the start. <br /> l~ <br /> mss, Z3~~>r 1 ~ Q <br /> <br />
