This is the rezoning request of Clifto's <br /> Kona Coast LLC to change their existing zoning of MG3a to a Project District on their 83 <br /> acre highway parcel which is located on the South side of the Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii <br /> We understand this is on your County Council agenda for April 21, 2004. <br /> As our elected representatives, we strongly urge your approval to this zoning change for <br /> numerous reasons that are extremely beneficial to our community, you, your families and <br /> most importantly your constituents. <br /> We feel that Kona, North Kona and Sonth Kohala are in desperate need of alternative choices <br /> fo, „ousiug, goods and services. We all are aware of the current, continuing and increasing <br /> traffic problems in West Hawaii and feel that ifgiven a viable alternative, we will gratefully <br /> embrace it and use it. 1'he concept of providing substantial goods and services six miles <br /> North of Kona is most appealing and extremely logical. The equitable distribution of goods <br /> and services will greatly enhance our livcs. There are literally thousands of people who live <br /> in this area and have no choice but to drive into Kona for their needs. No outer choices at alL <br /> lust think of the thousands of cars that will no longer drive into Kona aztd impact the only two <br /> roadways. The impact this project wotdd have on the trafkle issues and quality of life for us i< <br /> immeasurable. Everybody wins! We also support Clilto's Kona Coast LLC's offer to <br /> provide 2U% ofhis tnulti-family units to be deemed `affordable housing' which is double the <br /> requirement. This will greatly assist the many needy families with their battle in the ever <br /> i~tcreasing cost of living in Hawaii. <br /> Again, we need your help to improve our lives and the lives of the people of Hawaii whom <br /> you have been elected to protect and represent. With all the residential projects totaling <br /> thousands of units that have zoning in place and are going to be built in the very near futuze in <br /> West Hawaii, we need your support to approve this project so we can have a better choice for <br /> oter vital goods and services. Please approve this rezoning request. <br /> Please contact us with any comments or questions. <br /> Mahalo and Aloha, <br /> `~j~~JQr ~(.fft;KGY(A <br /> NantV <br /> e <br /> Lisa Furtado <br /> Address: 68-1875 Puuone Pl Wailcoloa Hi 96738 <br /> Ahotte: 808-883-8896 <br /> <br />
