/Z~ 5,~3 <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen of Hawaii County Council: <br /> In reguard of the proposed development of the Ooma site, 1 respectfully ask that the council consider my <br /> views. lam not anti-development, however, I do feel that the impact of developing this site as suggested <br /> would far outweigh the benefits. <br /> 0 <br /> Our lack of infrastructure in Kona is in a shameful state-this is a fact that no council member can d <br /> Please consider another fact; the longer Kona's needs are ignored, the harder it will be to meet they rn <br /> gain momentum with each passing year. C O ~ <br /> Z(=; ro <br /> What makes Hawaii valuable is our hard to find balance between rural and suburban lifestyles combihdd rv <br /> with apristine and abundant ecology. _ - <br /> ~i;- 3 <br /> Once that balance is lost, so is our tourist trade, and the economy which developers tend to claim to ~ <br /> Poorly planned and undersupported development will tip the scales of the unique balance that at[rac~ ~ L- <br /> tourism. ~ <br /> = CD <br /> I fear we are quickly losing what makes Kona, Hawaii special. <br /> The introduction of a new hotel, a new industrial park and a new residential area in one of our already <br /> overcrowded areas of Kona is a bad idea. Kona's quality of life is already plummeting due to <br /> overdevelpment/understtvcturing. <br /> If development outpaces infrastructure any longer, Kona Hawaii will become a miserable "cone-zone" that <br /> tourists travel to escape from. Our repeat customers will quickly find somewhere else to spend thier <br /> money. <br /> Be warned: There will be no where to run once Kona's economy and ecology are ruined by short-sighted <br /> plans for temporary economic gains. <br /> The entire civilized world is quickly becoming an overdeveloped, understructureddisriter area; Kona must <br /> not follow suit! <br /> You have the power to tum things around now please take control of this situation and better our future. <br /> Later will be too late. <br /> I respectfully call on each of you to remember your duty to the people of Hawaii, and vote NO. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Michele Nobnga-Oppliger <br /> Comm.
