This is the rezoning request of Clifto's Kona <br /> Coast LLC to change their existing zoning of MG3a to a Project District on <br /> <br /> their 83-acre highway parcel, which is located on the South side of the <br /> <br /> Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii. <br /> We believe that Kona, North Kona and South Kohala are in desperate need of <br /> <br /> alternative choices for housing, goods and services. We all are awaze of <br /> <br /> the current, continuing and increasing traffic problems in West Hawaii. <br /> Providing substantial goods and services six miles North of Kona is not only <br /> very appealing but also extremely logical. The equitable distribution of <br /> <br /> goods and services will greatly enhance our lives. There are literally <br /> <br /> thousands of people who live in this area and have no choice but to drive <br /> into Kona for their needs. With the passage of Bill #178, thousands of cars <br /> will no longer drive into Kona and adversely impact the only two roadways. <br /> The result that this project would have on the traffic issues and quality of <br /> life for us is immeasurable. We also support Clifto's Kona Coast LLC's <br /> <br /> offer to provide 20% of his multi-family units to be deemed 'affordable <br /> housing' which is double the requirement. This will greatly assist the many <br /> <br /> needy families with their battle in the ever increasing cost of living in <br /> Hawaii. <br /> <br /> Again, we need your help to improve our lives and the lives of the people of <br /> <br /> Hawaii whom you have been elected to protect and represent. With all the <br /> <br /> residential projects totaling thousands of units that have zoning in place <br /> <br /> and are going to be built in the very neaz future in West Hawaii, we need <br /> <br /> your support to approve this project so we can have a better choice for our <br /> <br /> vital goods and services. Please approve this rezoning request. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions or desire additional <br /> information. <br /> Comm. No. ~d ' <br /> Mahalo and Aloha, Ref.
