For this reason, we <br /> feel that the area could be transformed into a Cultural and Hgricultural <br /> Park for the education and enjoyment of local residents as well as our <br /> visitors. We respectively request this committee to defer taking any <br /> action of this application until the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club and members <br /> of the Community together with Kamehameha Investment Corporation <br /> can have an opportunity to sit down together and explore options to this <br /> current proposal which may better benefit everyone. <br /> Thank you very much for this opportunity to share our concerns with <br /> you. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Laura Kamaku, Chair <br /> Committee on Historic Sites <br /> <br />
