Shaw, who is under contract to purchase the <br />subject 680+ acre parcel situate at Kaunaimano ("Property") from Kau Agribusiness Co., Inc. It <br />is our understanding that the Property's General Plan designation is proposed to be amended <br />from "Urban Expansion" to "Extensive Agriculture" under I-9 of the County of Hawaii General <br />Plan Revisions (11/15/01). <br />The on-going sale of large tracts of land by Kau Agribusiness in the Kau District <br />is expected to generate an urban expansion that will create a need for goods and services to <br />support ancillary community and public uses. Since the specific settlement pattern and types of <br />uses have yet to be determined, it is reasonable to retain the existing "Urban Expansion" <br />designation which allows for a mix of high, medium, low density and industrial uses. <br />We respectfully request that the County Council retain the existing General Plan <br />"Urban Expansion" designation for the Property. Thank you for your consideration. <br />SSLXYL <br />xc: Andrew Shaw <br />HONOLULU KAPOLEI <br />4819-3505-5104.1 <br />Very truly yours, <br />STEVEN S. LIM <br />Ref. Ta: — <br />Ref.
