These lands are a portion of the <br /> area included in the proposed amendment "E4" to the County of Hawaii General Plan under the afore- <br /> referenced Bill. <br /> DLNR supports the proposed amendment "E4" to the General Plan. <br /> DLNR has entered into a development agreement with Jacoby Development, Inc. ("JDI"), which allows <br /> JDI to pursue the development of a master-planned, mixed-use project called Kona Kai Ola. Kona Kai Ola is to <br /> be developed on the 300 acres of DLNR lands and an adjacent 200-acre parcel leased by JDI from the <br /> Department of Hawaiian Homelands. Under the development agreement, JDI has agreed to construct much <br /> needed public facilities and infrastructure, including new recreational boating facilities, roadways, and utility <br /> infrastructure. The successful development of a master-planned project on the DLNR lands by JDI would also <br /> generate substantial revenues to the State and County, including lease rent and real property tax revenues. <br /> The proposed amendment "E4" to the General Plan is consistent with the existing Honokohau Small ' <br /> Boat Harbor uses, as well as with the new marina and other public infrastructure proposed by JDI. As such, <br /> DLNR supports the proposed amendment to the extent it will facilitate JDI's successful development of the <br /> DLNR lands m a manner that is consistent with our development agreement with JDI. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity to testify on this matter. <br /> ttyLw rs, <br /> P TER T.
