PLAN TO PROTECT KONA <br /> 74-5602-A Alapa Street <br /> _ _ Suite 725 <br /> ...r <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> BIG ISLAND MAYOR SEEKS CURBS ON URBAN SPRAWL <br /> This story appeared in the December 2nd addition of the Honolulu <br /> Advertiser. What does it mean? First of all, has anyone thought <br /> about what "URBANIZE" means? Here is a definition that appeared <br /> in an article published by the American Planning Assoc. <br /> TO URBANIZE: Any residential or commercial development that results <br /> in people traveling to and from previously inaccessible land. <br /> I challenge any one to deny that the Oceanside 1250 project, <br /> with its proposed 800 home sites and a lodge will not open the flood <br /> gate to Urban Sprawl in South Kona! The Mayor is pushing for the <br /> K to K Plan. The Keahole to Kailua proposal is designed to establish <br /> urban growth boundaries for Kona. What, in heavens name, is the <br /> purpose of establishing urban Growth Boundaries, if this type of <br /> speculative development is encouraged outside of those boundaries! <br /> We feel that people who stand to gain from any development, <br /> planned or unplanned, don't care about the damage Urban Sprawl will <br /> have on our Community. <br /> People in South Kona don't want this project. It is a <br /> speculative dinosaur left over from when Japanese investment was <br /> buying up everything in sight. And what good had that done us?! <br /> RECEIVED ~ <br /> <br /> Tlme.-_-------r° - ~Y <br /> <br /> Date ~ ` ' <br /> --._y„_Gounty Council <br /> 808-329-4770 <br /> <br />
