<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF RESOLUTION 381-06 DRAFT 2 <br /> <br /> June 19, 2006 <br /> <br /> To: Hawaii County Council <br /> From: Marian W. and George A. Wilkins <br /> <br /> <br /> We support the resolution calling for a moratorium on rezoning of property <br /> in North and South Kona until the Community Development Plan is <br /> approved by the Council. <br /> <br /> We are seeing the same phenomenon here as happened in Honolulu several <br /> years ago when developers were told more stringent rules would soon be <br /> applied to building. During the time it took to start enforcing the new law, <br /> <br /> dozens of building applications were approved as developers tried to start up <br /> in order to avoid having to abide by the new rules. <br /> <br /> This allows poor planning and poor developments that do not fall into the <br /> overall Plan for the community-a Plan that is looking to the future and has <br /> the support of the people. The Plan that so many hundreds of us have been <br /> <br /> working on is well worth waiting for. Please do not allow premature <br /> developments until the Plan is passed. Developments that are hastily <br /> approved now may wreak havoc on the Plan for future growth. <br /> <br /> We are desperately trying to contribute to a future Kona that will be a great <br /> place to live. If we don't stop allowing willy nilly growth that serves no one <br /> except a developer, we will all come to regret it as we are regretting the type <br /> <br /> of growth that has already occurred. <br /> <br /> We lived on Oahu for many years and saw the missed opportunity that <br /> Honolulu had to do things differently and better. Maui was the same. <br /> Please don't let us miss our one opportunity here. We won't have another <br /> chance because it will be too late. <br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br /> 73-1410 A Kaloko Dr. <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740---325-6116 <br />
