August 26, 1998 <br /> Chairman and Members of the Finance Committee- <br /> <br /> Hawaii County Councii <br /> 25 Aupuni St. <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> This is in response to the article in TAest Hawaii Today <br /> inviting comments on the use of Hamakua land. <br /> I have been a resident of '{alopa (HOnokaa) and still own a <br /> rental unit there. My experience has been that the land, <br /> rainfall and climate are best suited for timber. If <br /> residents want to farm they should do so as there is more <br /> than 2nouyh Hamakua land available. However, so far, I have <br /> seen mostly timber and papaya plantings. <br /> Although I own property in Kalopa I don't think that County <br /> land there should be for the exclusive use of Kalopa or <br /> Honokaa residents. If it can be farmed by others or can be <br /> used for the benefit of residents in other parts of the TiiJ <br /> Island I think it should. <br /> Than'c you for the opportunity to express my thoughts. <br /> Yours truly <br /> David Luke <br /> Kawaihae, HI <br /> cc: May~c Stephen Yamashiro <br /> Corua Na.~L <br /> Flk Na. ,~1rCT <br /> fiet.lb~-- ~x__ <br /> g,.,~, SEP 0 1 1998 <br /> <br />
