i <br /> ~ u <br /> photo by Jerry Rothstein taken January 6, 2005 <br /> SAVE PEPEEKEO POINT <br /> NO VOTE- BILL 356 <br /> This is a petition opposing Bill 356, a rezoning ordinance which, if passed, would allow Continental <br /> Pacific, LLC to subdivide the old Pepcekeo Mill camp plantation pazk 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 azea 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 Sugaz 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 pazk 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 area as "9~n: Parks 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 azea within the newly created Pepeekeo Makai subdivision. We <br /> <br /> ask for favorable consideration from the Hawaii Coun Council and a NO VOTE- BILL 356. <br /> t. <br /> "i <br /> 4 <br /> ~ PEPEEKEO MILL VII.LAGE CAMP ^ USCG PEPEEKEO LIGHT STATION <br /> name address Y~ - ~ ~1n email <br /> _ \ ~F <br /> <br />
