The <br /> parcel is currently leased to Parker Ranch under General Lease No. S-4465. <br /> <br /> To protect these lands for these important public purposes, we request that the State <br /> BLNR initiate the process to change the land zoning from "Ag-1 a" to a much larger <br /> minimum lot size, such that the current use is able to be continued, but no building is <br /> permitted on the property. This will prevent the future potential subdivision and <br /> development of this important land. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Kyle Kinoshita, Vice President <br /> WAIMEA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION <br />
