Murashige, Laura COMM. 1(05 <br />PIPc <br />From: Lee McIntosh [lee @cartoonistforchrist.org] <br />Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 12:07 PM <br />To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br />Subject: Resolution 60 -11 <br />Mr. Chair and Members of the Committee on Planning: <br />Aloha, my name is Lee McIntosh. I live in Discovery Harbour in Kau. I am not in favor of <br />Resolution 60 -11, which temporarily delays Council action on general plan amendments and <br />rezoning applications in the district of Kau. This resolution will hinder the Kahuku <br />Village project because they need to seek a general plan amendment as they continue <br />through the process to develop their property. This is a costly and time consuming <br />process that will negatively impact the <br />project if they are forced to wait until Resolution 60 -11 expires. <br />The community and developer should be allowed to continue the process to decide the <br />outcome of this project. <br />Another concern that I have is that Resolution 60 -11 will hurt businesses and individuals <br />in Kau that are seeking rezoning applications. In the past six months we have had two <br />rezoning requests, bills 4 and 5, which both passed unanimously with Councilwoman Smart's <br />support. These two applications would have had <br />to wait a year or more if this resolution had already been in place. <br />This is not about undermining the CDP process. The CDP will complement the current <br />process, not replace it. I encourage the Council to please vote against this resolution. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to testify on Resolution 60 -11. <br />Lee McIntosh <br />1 <br />Comm. No. / , 3. 1 <br />Ref.
