<br /> The Honorable Leningrad Elarionoff <br /> Council Member, County of Hawaii <br /> RE: COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT <br /> June 23, 2004 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The concept of my Community Service Development Division is to undertake projects that <br /> benefit the community. In this model all of the profits go to the sponsors. In Poamoho Camp <br /> that is the residents. In the above subdivision it would have been the County and the residents of <br /> that County that would have benefited. In the Pahala project it is the sugar cane workers that are <br /> farming the land now under short term lease. <br /> I would iike to propose that the County of Hawaii consider similar Community Service Projects <br /> that will benefit the County and the tax payers where zoning is given to a small parcel and the <br /> lots or homes sold at market with the balance of land and/or cash going to the County and <br /> residents of the Big Island. A few years ago I attempted to do an agricultural condominium on <br /> the Hamakua Sugar lands. We received a strong response from Big Island farmers and ranchers, <br /> but could not proceed due to the bankruptcy of Hamakua Sugar. I would be interested in doing a <br /> similar project if lands are available and the County would support such a project to benefit local <br /> farmers and ranchers. Also, any project dealing with affordable housing is of interest to us. <br /> A copy of this letter has been sent to the Mayor and other Big Island county council members. <br /> If you are interested in further discussions or explanation, please feel free to call me at 951-8976. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Peter B. Savio <br /> President <br /> M:SDC2~PROlECTSVNISCELLANE0US0..ETTERSICOMMUNITY SERVICE LETTER (COUNCIL)-BIG ISLAND.doc <br /> <br />
