<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 6 <br /> to the County Council regarding Non-Point Source Pollution, <br /> <br /> Cumulative Secondary Impacts of pollution and Submarine <br /> Groundwater Discharge and Seepage carrying pollution into <br /> coastal waters. <br /> <br /> <br /> There is at present scientific uncertainty on how to accurately <br /> identify, assess, measure, mitigate and prevent these types of <br /> <br /> pollution caused by development. Citizens have opposed F-2 as <br /> a LUPAG Map Land Use change because Rural designation <br /> can facilitate higher density zoning and development on these <br /> <br /> lands over the Bay. There is reasonable suspicion that harm <br /> caused by pollution from development could adversely impact <br /> Kealakekua Bay and Marine Life Conservation District. <br /> <br /> <br /> The County Council should be following the Precautionary <br /> Principle and voting to Delete F-2, as the Planning Commission <br /> <br /> did on May 26, 2006. Instead, the County Council wants to <br /> pass F-2 The F-2 amendment is proposed using the rationale <br /> of a pending subdivision of 33 RA2- acre lots. This pending <br /> <br /> subdivision is using a Special Management Area Use Permit <br /> #269 issued in 1988. Twenty years ago, the risk of harm from <br /> Non-Point Source Pollution, Cumulative Secondary Impact <br /> <br /> and Submarine Groundwater Discharge was not fully <br /> understood in assessing potential adverse environmental <br /> impact. <br /> <br /> <br /> Why does the Planning Director want to give a LUPAG Map <br /> land use change facilitating application for higher density <br /> development on the basis of a pending subdivision using a 20 <br /> <br /> yr. old SMA Use Permit for almost 100 acres above a Marine <br /> Life Conservation District? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6 <br />
