<br /> Page -2- <br /> ? Get together with Sen. Lorraine Inouye and Rep. Dwight Takamine, to assist with <br /> general funding for affordable housing in Hamakua region. <br /> ? Lands should be considered for an Elderly housing project in Hamakua. <br /> ? Abandon the plan to sell these lands (735 acres) at public auction to the highest <br /> bidder. <br /> ? Possible land exchange with another parcel that is ready for affordable housing. <br /> For example, land by Brantley Center or closer to Honoka'a town center. <br /> ? Model kit homes should be considered to keep cost down, and make it truly <br /> affordable housing project. <br /> ? Need to keep affordable so that people can afford to purchase whether it be just <br /> lots and/or house and lot package deal. <br /> ? It should be considered to zone these properties as an Agricultural Park district <br /> which would direct these lands to be utilized for agriculture purposes. <br /> ? Agricultural Long-term lease i.e. 20 - 30 years with annual County inspection <br /> regarding caretaking of property. Lands should not be sold, but leased <br /> indefinitely for growing coffee, vanilla, etc. etc. <br /> ? County should still have ownership of lands with possible lease of lands but allow <br /> constructing of a home on the land. Land should be held in public trust so that <br /> affordable housing inventory would be held in perpetuity. <br /> ? Land should be kept as open space whereby no development is allowed on <br /> these properties. <br /> ? Allowing for ranching would fit in with the rural character of the surrounding <br /> properties and would allow these lands to remain in open space. <br /> ? For maximum profit, these lands should be broken down into 5, 10, and 20-acre <br /> parcels to be sold to residents of the County of Hawaii. <br /> ? County of Hawaii should consider leasing or selling these lands to members of <br /> the community that are long time residents of Hawaii. We should provide <br /> opportunity for the local people that have been pushed out of the land/house <br /> buying market. <br /> ? County should sell a portion of these lands to purchase property suitable for an <br /> affordable housing project. <br /> ? Land should remain in agriculture and not be utilized for any housing <br /> development. Keep Hamakua agriculture. <br /> <br />
