Arakaki, Chairman <br /> County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> <br /> Re: Kealakekua Development Corporation <br /> Kealakekua Ranch Lands <br /> Change of Zone Ordinance No. 95-70 (REZ 798) <br /> <br /> Dear Chairman Arakaki: <br /> <br /> My name is Marge Mulhall. I have lived and worked in Kailua-Kona since 1961. I have seen <br /> many, many changes-some for good and some that weren't. <br /> <br /> This project planned by Kealakekua Development Corporation (KDC) requesting and extension <br /> for their change of zone, will be a marvelous improvement for Mauka Kona. Reforestation has <br /> already started with the cultivating of native trees by South Kona school children. <br /> <br /> The large area reserved for local farmers with ample water for both the homes and the farming is <br /> a major improvement over many other developments in the last thirty years. Besides the <br /> individual farms, there will be areas organized for native research and experimentation to expand <br /> the variety of crops that can be successfully grown in Kona. This well-planned use of mauka <br /> lands, currently denuded by over grazing, will encourage our young people to stay in Kona and <br /> prosper while enjoying the many advantages of living in Paradise. <br /> <br /> Besides many acres of agriculture, they are also planning a golf course in the cool of mauka. The <br /> homes around it will enjoy the green beauty and use of the club house and pool. These facilities <br /> will also be available to Kona residents. <br /> <br /> All of these improvements will beautify the hillside, increase local farming opportunities and <br /> crops, and create a prosperous mauka community. <br /> <br /> This is a win-win situation which I sincerely request that you approve. This development will <br /> benefit everyone in Kona and the Big Island. <br /> SiD;l <br /> <br /> g2z. C27 <br /> Marge Mulhall d7~m b1Q. <br /> I <br /> ZN(,, <br /> atl® NO- 7-146 <br /> Not.
