<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SUMMARY OF REQUEST <br /> <br /> <br /> North Kohala has long been identified as an agricultural area. <br /> The last several years has seen an enormous increase in real estate activity that mostly <br /> <br /> reflects a life style( desire for rural living without concomitant agricultural activity. Our <br /> request for rezoning this Ag20a parcel into fWAg Ya parcels offers an opportunity to <br /> micro develop agriculture activity in a profitable manner, I.e. development of high end <br /> green house propagations for landscape nurseries, and growth and production of exotic <br /> tropical fruit and botanicals for export. Both of these projections, nursery and orchard, <br /> have already been started on the subject property While cattle grazing has been an <br /> historical feature of Kohala agriculture, its viability as an economic activity is highly <br /> problematic. We modestly suggest that our view of smaller micro managed agricultural <br /> land use is more realistic for the future. And it certainly conforms to the agricultural land <br /> use as envisioned by the draft Kohala CDP, and the General Plan LUPAG map. In <br /> summation, the growth of small farm activity in North Kohala would be a proper bridge <br /> between local residential growth and the large estates on pasture land , in terms of rural <br /> ambience and real agricultural economy. <br />
