Keliipio [Josephine@poidogs.com] ~~I <br /> Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 9:05 AM Cdr ~~Id l~ 9 ` ~ ~ <br /> To: Council Testimony r,-- <br /> Subject: BILL 220 -Storage Facility in PUNA i,(;~;Pd+' ~ " <br /> Dear County Council Members, <br /> It is my understanding that the people who are working hard on the Puna Community <br /> Development Plan DO NOT WANT, I repeat, D_O NOT WANT the Council to approve <br /> <br /> this rezoning at this location until the Puna Community Development Plan is in place. <br /> Ifthe Council can make resolutions to stop further rezonings in Waikoloa and in Kona <br /> until their Community Development Plans are in place, then the Council should take the <br /> same steps for Puna and stop further rezonings until the PCDP is in place even if the <br /> representative from lower Puna is against it. <br /> Also, Bob Jacobson's band-aid proposal of preventing left turns in and out of the <br /> location for this storage facility is a very hazardous idea because unless a solid berm is <br /> built on the highway to prevent left turns, drivers will still make the left turns illegally <br /> and cause some serious traffic accidents and/or fatalities to happen. If you don't want to <br /> see some serious traffic accidents at this spot, then please don't approve ofthis rezoning <br /> at this time. Furthermore, if the Council doesn't have permission from DOTto alter a <br /> State Highway, then all the more reason why this rezoning should not be approved at <br /> this time. <br /> Lastly, I understand that Ms. Naeole is pushing for this rezoning because the developer <br /> (Timothy Gardner) is dangling a carrot in front of her face in the form ofa homeless <br /> shelter. Is this homeless shelter so important that the Council is willing to ignore the <br /> recjuests from the people of Puna to not rezone until the PCDP is in place? <br /> Puna should be treated no differently form Kona or Waikoloa. Ifthe Council is going to <br /> take a pause on further rezonings in Kona and Waikoloa, it should BE CONSISTENTand <br /> do the same in Puna. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Josephine Keliipio <br /> 76-168 Royal Poinciana Drive <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740 Comm.
