W.H. SHIPMAN, LIMITET~ <br /> KEAAU r <br /> HAWAII ISLAND <br /> February 5, 2003 <br /> Councilwoman Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd <br /> County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> }-silo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Councilwoman Leithead-Todd: <br /> Subject: Bill 163, County of Hawaii General Plan Revision <br /> This letter is to express our objections to the proposed change "A-4" as <br /> shown on the Puna-1 Map of the Proposed Amendments to the Land use <br /> Pattern Allocation. We request that the portion of land owned by W.H. <br /> Shipman, Ltd. remain designated for Urban Expansion and not be changed <br /> to Important Ag. Land. <br /> The following are the reasons we are requesting the change to the subject <br /> bill. <br /> 1. We consider the County's General Plan to be a long-range policy <br /> document to guide development for at least 20 years into the future. <br /> Considering our own long-range strategic plans for expansion of <br /> agricultural and commercial development in Kea'au, we intend to <br /> focus regional urban growth mauka of the Volcano Highway. Thus, <br /> while the current use of this area is in agriculture, our long-range <br /> plans are to urbanize the area. Comm. No.~.S-9 <br /> File No. <br /> Ref. To: <br /> Ref.
