Upper Kaumana District Council <br /> P.O.Box 10502 ~ ` <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96721 ~t-' <br /> August 7, 2003 '03 flUG 12 PIS 1 90 <br /> COUNTY ~1= H,~NlAll <br /> County Council Planning Committee <br /> Chairman James Arakaki <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii <br /> To whom It May Concern, <br /> The Kaumana Community is again, being faced with the illusion of a Park <br /> that was promised many times by different developers over the last 50 years, <br /> yet does not exist. Our organization, the Upper Kaumana District Council, <br /> (UKDC) was formed some 12 years ago with a "responsible" pro-developer <br /> focus. Please note a copy oI'our last UKDC newsletter and minutes. <br /> The Kaumana community was surveyed over 10 years ago, with their <br /> number one emphasis remaining on a park. To date, the UKDC continues to <br /> recommend the need fora 5 acre (minimum) "gated" park for our children <br /> near the Kaumana Elementary School, with a minimum of water and toilet <br /> facilities. We invite any large-scale developer to meet our needs, especially <br /> since we have "no say" with the recent Hawaiian Homes development. <br /> Currently, the Bill #44 (draft 2) proposed by R.M.Towell deserves some <br /> clarifications. Thank you, for delaying the decision at your last council <br /> meeting. The UKDC saw draft 1 and attempted to correct Towell last year <br /> that there is no park in Kaumana. Hence, the community deserves a Public <br /> Hearing with the developer, Richard Towell. Please suggest a date in <br /> September and the UKDC organization will publicize your meeting date at <br /> Kaumana Elementary School's Cafetorium - 7:OOpm. We would also invite <br /> <br /> the newly selected County Council Representative replacing B.J.Leithead- <br /> <br /> Todd's term. <br /> Sincerely, n nn <br /> Frank fita, Comm. No. `~~+~v <br /> R~f. To: <br /> President of UKDC <br /> <br />
