He Kula <br /> Na Mei Hawaii, "A School of Things Hawaiian" has purchased property on the north side <br /> of Ocean View for their Hawaiian Cultural Resource Center. In the years to come our <br /> community will become a great resource for the people who will want to come and visit <br /> these areas. The Ka' u Forest. is the largest and most intact expanse of native forest in the <br /> state and is home to a number of forest birds. Please do not. limit our community in any <br /> way to expansion. With the increase in private home construction, there will natitr-ally be <br /> an increase in business opportunities, and we will need both sides of the road for this <br /> commercial growth in order for all of our residents to be afforded the best that the area <br /> has to offer. <br /> Tlus letter will lie copied to all of the members of the Hawaii County Council so that all of <br /> the people involved in drafting the ne~v General Plan will have a chance to consider the <br /> ramifications of restricting commercial growth in Ocean View to only one side of Highway <br /> 11. <br /> Thank you so much for all of the great work that you do on behalf of die residents of the <br /> County of Hawaii and for your attention to this issue. <br /> Mala <br /> <br /> ,T m Step urg <br /> Ocean View Chamber of Commerce <br /> 939-7472 <br /> cc: James Ar~akaki, Dominic Yagong, Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd, Aaron Chung, Gary <br /> Safarik, Julie Jacobson, Nancy Pisicchio, Curtis Tyler, Leningrad Elarionofl~ <br /> pls <br /> <br />
