This follows several meetings and discussions with Councilman Reynolds, <br /> Dwight Manago, Chief Mahone, and others. <br /> Last year, I purebased the subject property which is approximately seven acres in <br /> size (TMK (3) 8-2-3:5). I was approached by Councilman Reynolds regarding my plans <br /> for this property. I was in the initial stage oi'planning and agreed to explore We <br /> possibility of providing between 1.5 and 3 arses to the County fox expansion of its police <br /> and fire facilities. Over the following months, we cottfirmed serious interest by Chief <br /> Mahone and Councilman Reynolds and Mr. Manago regarding this site. <br /> Based on that background and recognition of a growing community need, I am <br /> interested in working with the County t,o provide from 1.5 to 3 acres within this property <br /> fox future police and fire facilities. I will want to be compensated monetarily or in-kind <br /> for such acreage at fair market value. <br /> The subject property is zoned for corrunercial uses (CV-7.5) along the highway, <br /> but the makai portion of the property is zoned A-la. I will also ask that the County <br /> initiate rezoning that portion to a commercial zone. Incidentally, l would like, if at all <br /> possible, to retain and rehabilitate the oid Kona Theatre that is also located on this <br /> property. I would be interested in working with the appropriate agencies to salvage this <br /> historic site. <br /> Comm. No. 5~~?...'. <br /> Ref. To:=, tr <br /> Ref.
