REZONING The proposed 83 ac.0'oma rezoning will add not insult to injury, it will add injury to injury. You, the E.Hawaii Council majority have put us in the traffic jam we're in today and rather than doing something to alleviate it, this proposed rezoning is going to make it even worse. The parcel is presently zoned industrial. This is an acceptable zoning that yields minimum traffic impacts. There is absolutely no reason to rezone it to such high traffic use as proposed except to give the owner, a speculator who has the property for sale as already re-zoned, a windfall profit of $tens of millions at the expense of thousands of W. Hawaii residents who use QKHwy & Palani Rd. 217 MAKAI ACRES You no doubt know that the makai 217 acres is already zoned "alternate urban expansion with a resort node." That means hundreds if not thousands more people and perhaps thousands more cars. That's bad enough. Please, don't rezone this parcel. You will be fomenting a reaction that could well lead to a tax revolt and a move to split the island in half. It could also lead to a caravan of cars to the 2°d reading of the rezoning bill in order to prevent such a thing from happening. You may think that the people of W.Hi are wimps because you`ve gotten away with abusing us for so long. We're not! We'll strike back. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE Who are these people you are considering granting this rezoning. They say they've been working with the community. Not so! Their website (www.oomaresort.com) falsely states that the project has county zoning of "Project District." They say its been "Approved for 400,000 SF office/retail, 240 multi-family units and up to 400hotel rooms. "This is blatantly false, or do they know something we don't know? Has the backroom deal already been made? Is this "Public Hearing" hap ing only because there were the necessary three votes and that we have deaf e s 1' tening to our ~ e ? I hope that's not the case. i~2~ Jerry R stein Hawaiiisland
