<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Yagong, Dominic <br /> <br /> From: William George [captainbill@hawaiiantel.net] RE('` I f LL) <br /> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 8:02 AM <br /> To: Dominic Yagong <br /> '~~p~e8 2 SS <br /> Subject: Acquisition of land for the Honokaa Rodeo AYE <br /> Dear Councilman Yagong, COU l <br /> As you are aware, the facility in Honokaa is heavily used by those interested in the <br /> Paniolo tradition and the use of horses in ranch activity and competition. This is clean, <br /> healthy, non polluting family activity and is enthusiastically enjoyed by residents of the <br /> Big Island. <br /> Users include the Hawaii Saddle Club, roping organizations, the Hawaii Quarter Horse <br /> Association, therapeutic horsemanship (GABBI), the Hawaii Island Cutting Horse Association <br /> and individuals who take their horses to the arena to train and practice. <br /> In recent years the development of home sites adjacent to the arena grounds has meant that <br /> there is no longer an adequate area to work and warm up the horses prior to entering the <br /> arena itself for competition. <br /> Riders must therefore work their animals in close proximity to adults and small children <br /> on foot. Safety is of course compromised when riders attempt to maneuver a thousand pound <br /> animal in close proximity to people. Parking for horse trailers is also restricted. <br /> I understand that an adjacent parcel of five acres may be coming up for sale and I <br /> encourage you to persue the acquisition of this property by the county. Perhaps this may <br /> be accomplished by purchase or exchange. This additional area will enhance the safety and <br /> utility of this facility. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> <br /> William George <br /> Honokaa <br /> 775-9376 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
