ASUH-HawCC Student Government Resolution 04-101 <br /> Title: West Hawai i Campus Development <br /> Whereas, the ASUH-HawCC Student Government represents all registered <br /> students of Hawaii Community College; and <br /> Whereas, the majority of students enrolled at the University of Hawaii Center in <br /> West Hawaii are Hawai i CC students; and <br /> Whereas, the University Board of Regents selected a 500-acre parcel of land for <br /> a permanent UH campus in 1991, but the development of this site has been <br /> hampered by a lack of capital improvement funds to provide adequate water, <br /> roads, sewage treatment, and other supporting infrastructure; and <br /> Whereas, Hiluhilu Development, LLC owns a 725-acre parcel of land adjacent to <br /> the north boundary of the University's site; and <br /> Whereas, in 2002, the University entered into a Memorandum of Understanding <br /> with Hiluhilu Development, LLC to consult and discuss joint development <br /> opportunities for the adjacent properties; and <br /> Whereas, the agreement between the UH and Hiluhilu calls for the University to <br /> lease space from Hiluhilu in the initial stages of the development, which would <br /> allow Hawaii Community College to relocate its UH Center in West Hawai i to <br /> this centralized location years sooner than it could develop its own property, <br /> thereby providing access to affordable education to many residents who are <br /> unable to commute to the current location in Kealakekua; and <br /> Whereas, under this agreement, Hiluhilu will construct the initial infrastructure to <br /> support the further development of the UH Center in West Hawaii, thereby <br /> significantly saving the State millions of dollars and greatly shortening the <br /> amount of time the University will need to construct the campus on its own 500 <br /> acres. <br /> Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved by ASUH-HawCC that the students of Hawai i <br /> Community College support Hiluhilu Development's petition for a district <br /> boundary amendment from agriculture and conservation to urban, and <br /> Be it further resolved that the ASUH-HawCC present the Land Use Commission <br /> with a copy of this resolution and request their favorable action on this petition. <br /> Sig tur • ~ 9-b <br /> ~ <br /> Keala Pihana Date <br /> <br /> President, ASUH-HawCC <br /> <br />
