Pepeekeo Community Association <br /> P. O. Box 877 <br /> Pepeekeo, Hawaii 96783 <br /> February 1, 2005 <br /> Planning Committee <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> RE: Bills Nos. 355 & 356 <br /> Relating to Continental Pacific, LLC's Request for Rezoning <br /> Aloha Chairman and Members of the Committee: <br /> On behalf of the Pepeekeo Community Association, I am submitting testimony in support <br /> of Bills # 355 and #356, Continental Pacific, LLC's request for rezoning for property in <br /> Pepeekeo. <br /> Members of the association and community have been in communication and discussions <br /> at meetings with Continental Pacific, LLC for more than 3 years on issues and <br /> concerns regarding their land acquisitions in and impact to our community and our azea <br /> resources. Concerns about retaining access to established and traditional fishing <br /> grounds, clearing of trees at the old Pepeekeo School grounds and azound cemeteries, and <br /> financial assistance for the Volunteer Fire Station property and community functions <br /> have resulted in positive outcomes for our community. <br /> The cooperative, community-based efforts, initiatives, intentions and visions of the <br /> community have been well received by Continental Pacific, LLC. The reality of change <br /> has presented learning opportunities for both parties. With the shazed commitment to <br /> effect positive, constructive and beneficial impacts for the community, it is the firm belief <br /> that movement in this direction will continue to be pursued. The assurance to contribute <br /> financially to assist the community in realizing and 30+ year old dream of a recreational <br /> complex is the first of many steps in this direction. <br /> The Pepeekeo Community Association submitted testimony in support of Bills 355 and <br /> 356 on November 9, 2004 (on file). We stand by that same testimony today and submit <br /> supportive testimony again today for approval and passage of Bills 355 and 356. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to share the community's support. <br /> <br /> Respectfully, <br /> <br /> Lorraine Mendoza, President <br /> Comm.
