The action of the <br /> Planning Committee was to grant their request that some of their property not be placed <br /> into Important Agricultural Lands on the LUPAG map, but be retained in the current <br /> categories (Orchards or Extensive Agriculture.) The specific request of Mr. Bell's <br /> clients, as contained in their Nov. 21, 2003 letter, was that the area below the 1000' <br /> elevation not be classed as Important Ag. The Ackerman letter of December 20, 2004 <br /> objected to the classification as Important Ag for "our property below the old railroad, or <br /> the current new Hokuli'a bypass highway." <br /> The North Kona 4 map that we sent to the Council on January 11, 2005 changed portions <br /> of the Bell clients' land that is above 1000' in elevation, and also changed some of the <br /> Ackerman property that is above the old railroad. The error also affects the South Kona 1 <br /> map, because there is an overlapping area between the two maps, and the island maps. <br /> I have enclosed a corrected version of the North Kona 4 map, South Kona 1 map, and <br /> island maps, that conforms to the specific action of the Planning Committee. I would <br /> Hawai "i County is an egual opportunity provider' and employer. (.J <br /> Comm. No. 1 2' ~ f <br /> Ref. To: ~~eaee u14 <br /> Ref. Uate JAN <br /> <br />
