ISIAfi "FRANK" FEARY <br /> 1182 Kalanlanaole Street <br /> <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> <br /> February 7, 1997 <br /> f RECEIVED <br /> Tlme_~---------/--1 BY- - <br /> Dear Councilmember/Hawaii County: DaTe,._.._._.-jl-Z/3-7__.__..__.._...... <br /> County Council <br /> I am a supporter for an updated adequate gym facility to <br /> reo_lace the Kawananakoa Hall in Reaukaha. The Kawananakoa Hall <br /> is not an adequate qym facility due to its antiquated, <br /> substandard size. <br /> The youth & public sector of several surrounding communities <br /> as well as the host community are being ill served, and neglected. <br /> These communities are Waiakea Houselots, Keaukaha, Leleiwi, and <br /> Panaewa. Other homeless native communities are Radio Bay, King's <br /> Landing, and Onekahakaha Heach. <br /> Historically, the County of Hawaii has benefitted directly <br /> since Statehood from Hawaiian Homes Lands use and cooperation in <br /> the South Hilo area (i.e. Keaukaha/Panaewa). Real property taxes <br /> (business & residential), real property easements for sewerline, <br /> sewer plants and water; these are all some direct benefits. Also <br /> indirectly, the disintegration of the original Keaukaha-Panaewa <br /> Subdivision into two distinct communities due to effected commercial <br /> business leases and the State Hilo Airport (including the now <br /> completed II phase Prince Kuhio Associates Development - WalMart, <br /> etc.) has also provided real benefits/dollars to our Hilo area, <br /> Hawaii Island, s County government. <br /> Has this been a equitable exchange for the children & members <br /> of these communities of generations past, present, & future? Our <br /> island population is quickly doubling. Recreational facilities are <br /> outdated and extremely overused. The number one (#1) used facility <br /> on the Island of Hawaii should be made new. Final passage of this <br /> bill would definitely give credence to our County leading the way <br /> towards this end. <br /> I hope your leadership in this matter will be positive. Thank <br /> you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact <br /> me at 808-961-8732 if you have any questions or need information on <br /> this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .~-...i <br /> 'S <br /> I SZAH "FRANK" FEARY <br /> Keaukaha Community Association Member <br /> County of Hawaii, Recreation Professional r 3~ O3 <br /> Comm.
