I am very concerned that the proposed change to the General Plan could negatively impact my ability to develop my property in accordance with the existing General Plan and zoning designations. This concern has given rise to several questions: 1. Can I still formally submit my testimony regarding the proposed General Plan changes, having missed the public hearings already held? 2. Is it standard procedure to request a change in General Plan designation without advising the landowner(s), or requesting input from the landowner(s)? 3. Should a General Plan change become in conflict with the existing Zoning Code, which would supersede the other? In other words, what will then be the permitted use of my property? 4. I was led to believe that both the General Plan and Zoning Code are ordinances and that they must be consistent with each other. If the General Plan designation for my property is changed, will the County unilaterally change my property zoning? 5. If my ability to use my property is diminished by any of these changes, will I then be compensated, and on what basis? I am a resident of the Big Island and a very committed member of the Puako community. My wife and I own other Puako properties, and by invitation, I have humbly served on the Puako Community Associations' Board of Directors for multiple terms. In closing, I feel that I was thorough in my due diligence before acquiring these parcels, and am now very concerned about my property rights in this situation. Please register my objection to the proposed General Plan change, specifically those changes under consideration for the above-mentioned Tax Map Keys. I would very much appreciate your response to this letter, as well as to the specific questions I have posed above. I look forward to your advice and suggestions as to how I should proceed at this time. Sincerely, Mark A.
