<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Ag-5 acres compromise is one more nail in the coffin of this precious resource and it is contrary to sound <br /> planning (which provides buffers between built environments and irreplaceable natural and cultural <br /> assets) and Ag-5 acres is contrary to the 30+ years of work of the community to protect this coastline. <br /> Why compromise when there is no legal basis to require an Ag 5-acre compromise and why compromise <br /> when there are many, many compelling reasons to re-zone to Ag-20 acre? <br /> <br /> One of the reasons we are here today is because the applicant did not follow the rules and the time to <br /> exercise conditional entitlements expired, <br /> But the real reason we are here today is because over the decades the County has not listened to the <br /> community and neither the County nor the State have been responsive in providing any meaningful <br /> protection for this coastline. <br /> <br /> Please hear us today. Please support the Planning Director's recommendation to repeal ordinance No. 97 <br /> 102. And use your authority today to support a re-zoning that is absolutely justified and needed. Pleasc <br /> re-zone this parcel to rezone this area to Ag-20 acres. <br /> Thank you for your consideration and proactive actions. <br /> <br /> Aloha. <br /> <br /> Stephanie Naihe Laxton Mike Isaacs <br /> Maikai'i Kamakani 'O Kohala Kohala Historic and Cultural Preservation Group <br /> <br /> Kanoa Withington Fred Cachola <br /> Kamakani 'O Kohala Ohana Malama Na Wahi Pana O Kohala <br /> Gail Byrne Toni Withington <br /> Malama Kohala Kabakai Hui Lihikai <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Testimony - Hawaii County Council Planning Committee <br /> Support for Repeal of Ord No 97102 and Revocation of SM4 No. 379 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br />
