Living in Kona this past 15 years I have been watching tlie''fjevelopment go from <br /> attractive to restrictive, from contributing to the Big Island tourism to taking it away. <br /> I really appreciate all the improvements and access to the beach front along the <br /> Kona, Kohala coast, yet at the same time I watch as the area becomes harder to get to <br /> outside of the hours patrolled. While I understand the need for protecting these <br /> residences and their occupants, 2 also feel that we cannot allow every bit of beautiful <br /> ocean front fall to these developements which continue to make it as difficult as possible <br /> to access the remote areas, restructure the natural anachialine ponds into unnatural <br /> states and forcing community members into smaller recreational areas and making other <br /> surrounding areas difficult to access, if at all. Our beaches and coastlines are <br /> beautiful and should be preserved in their natural state, especially at these most <br /> important historical and cultural sites. <br /> Having commuted from Kona to Waikoloa for six years, 2 am dissappointed in the piles of <br /> rock that have been built up around these communities, purposely obstructing the coastline <br /> view of the ocean from the highway. <br /> While 2 am sure their intent is to protect the views of their community the net result is <br /> we lose the coastline view. Soon we will look like Maui with only little bits of <br /> coastline visible as we and our tourists tour the island. Thank you for the efforts the <br /> council has made over the years to protect our coastlines, making them accessible and <br /> usable. With just a little more consideration the Big Island will be protected and as a <br /> result become one of the few island destinations where you can experience the coastline in <br /> its natural state. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Linda Morabito, PCAM, AMS <br /> 808-329-6063 ext 7, fax 808-326-2486 <br /> 75-169 Hualalai Road <br /> Kailua Kona, HI 96740 <br /> Certified Management, Inc. <br /> An Associa® Member Company <br /> Privilege and Confidentiality Notice <br /> The information in this electronic mail is intended for the named recipients only.
