~ Y <br /> 1 <br /> photo by Jerry Rothstein taken January 6, 2005 <br /> SAVE PEPEEKEO POINT <br /> NO VOTE- BILL 356 <br /> This is a petition opposing Bi11356, a rezoning ordinance which, if passed, would allow Continental <br /> Pacific, LLC to subdivide the old Pepeekeo Mill camp plantation park into eleven residential lots <br /> with only a forty foot set back from the edge of the pali. There has been no provisions for an open <br /> space pazk or special accommodations for persons needing convenient access to the shoreline area in <br /> the comprehensive plan to subdivide 1300 acres and four miles of shoreline. <br /> The plantation pazk at PEPEEKEO POINT is the last remnant of the historic Pepeekeo Mill <br /> plantation community. The Sugar Industry is of significant historical and cultural importance to <br /> Hawaii and has contributed substantially to the life of the rural communities. The old camp was <br /> abandoned and razed in 1980, yet the old ball park and surrounding shoreline open space has <br /> remained an important recreation and scenic azea. Pepeekeo Point has been used for fishing, <br /> picnicking, and ocean viewing activities continuously for generations. Public access to the former <br /> Pepeekeo Sugaz Mill and old camp is recognized in the County of Hawaii Public Shoreline Access <br /> Inventory of 1979. The General Plan of 1989 designates the shoreline azea as "(~tl: Pazks and <br /> <br /> historic sites." The pali is gently sloping and low, making this the easiest place to access the <br /> shoreline for a four mile shoreline area within the newly created Pepeekeo Makai subdivision. We <br /> <br /> ask for favorable consideration from the Hawaii County Council and a NO VOTE- BILL 356. <br /> ~ ~ <br /> li <br /> ,i <br /> ~,i ~ <br /> ~µi <br /> iA <br /> r, <br /> . . <br /> PEPEEKEO MILL VILLAGE CAMP USCG PEPEEKEO LIGHT STATION <br /> email <br /> ~,a- c~ Gn ~ +Ka~ <br /> ~IC7~ ~,1i~hu~Rl~e~lo~~l <br /> <br />
