I <br /> PLAN TO PROTECT KONA <br /> 74-5602-A Alapa Street <br /> _ Suite 725 <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> 12/1/03 <br /> <br /> Hawaii County Planning Committee <br /> <br /> Leningrad Elazinoff, Chairman <br /> <br /> FAX# 961-8912 <br /> <br /> Re: Clifto's Kona Coast LLC <br /> <br /> Aloha Chairman Elazinoff and Planning Committee members. <br /> <br /> As we understand it, the developer wants a zoning change of 83 acres from Industrial 3-Acre to <br /> <br /> Project District. That would be a windfall to Clifto because it would allow two airport-style hotels <br /> <br /> (400 rooms), 230 residences, as well as commercial buildings to be built on the site. <br /> <br /> From the stand point of traffic problems, ocean pollution, noise, loss of natural view-plane, Kona <br /> <br /> would be better off with the cwrent zoning. This is true, no matter What(ever) jobs are promised, <br /> <br /> or tax revenue or other economic beneSts might eventually accrue from the development. <br /> <br /> Progress must, like a three legged stool, have more than just an economic component or the stool <br /> <br /> will fall over. Progress also needs to have a positive effect on the environment over the yeazs <br /> <br /> (sustainable) and a positive impact on culturaUsocial dimension. This project simply does not. <br /> <br /> Plan-to-Protect respectfully requests this zoning change be denied. <br /> <br /> P <br /> <br /> Yows, <br /> Duane D. Erway, President <br /> <br />
