<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Aloha, my name is Ann Kern, and I'm a resident of Kahalu'u in Kailua-Kona. Although <br /> <br /> the proposed six-month moratorium on West Hawai'i's development is apparently well- <br /> <br /> intentioned, it appears ill-advised to me for two reasons. First, it delays worthwhile <br /> <br /> projects that desperately need to proceed now, not later, projects like Hiluhilu and its <br /> <br /> University of Hawai'i components. Second, a six-month moratorium imposed so that a <br /> <br /> current planning process can be completed is poor politics, in my opinion, and I mean no <br /> <br /> disrespect to my fellow citizens fortunate enough to have the disposable income and time <br /> <br /> to participate in that process. The process itself is deeply, if not fatally, flawed because its <br /> <br /> participants don't mirror the economic and ethnic diversity of our community and <br /> <br /> because the model it's based on is an East Coast mainland suburban-urban template that <br /> <br /> doesn't apply appropriately here on our outer island in Hawaii. Please don't impose this <br /> <br /> temporary moratorium. It definitely won't do what's intended: it won't solve West <br /> Hawai'i's difficult development problems. A delay won't make these problems go away: <br /> <br /> it may make them worse. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
