Karen Guerreiro P.O. Box 6728 Ocean View, HI 96737 808 - 990 -3992 kiguerreiro @gmail.com July 22, 2011 Chair and Members of Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni St. Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chair and Hawaii County Council: I, Karen Guerreiro, resident and land owner of Ka'u, provide testimony today in support of Councilwoman Brittany Smart's proposed Resolution 60 -11: RESOLUTION TO TEMPORARILY DELAY COUNCIL ACTION ON GENRAL PLAN AMENDMENTS AND REZONING APPLICATIONS IN THE DISTRICT OF KA'U UNTIL THE KA'U COMMUNITY DEVELOMENT PLAN IS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE, OR UNTIL DEC. 31, 2012, WHICHEVER SHALL OCCUR FIRST. I have been an active participant in the development of our Ka'u CDP. I am gravely concerned with the continued delays and delays and delays that have necessitated Councilwoman Brittany Smart's proposed Resolution 60 -11. We have turned a two year project into a four plus year project. We have spent a lot of time getting nowhere. I am also gravely concerned with the conflict of interest surrounding our chosen new consultants, PBR Hawaii to assist with our Ka'u CDP. PBR Hawaii is Nani Kahuku Aina, LLC's consultant for their proposed new town Kahuku Village, here in Ka'u. We have yet to answer the question: "Do we need a new town in Ka'u?" We have yet to answer the question: "Where would we put a new town in Ka'u?" We have yet to answer the question: "How will the county allocate money for solid waste, water, police, and fire department for proposed new town Kahuku Village and Ocean View ?" Who best to answer these questions? Not Nani Kahuku Aina, LLC's lead consultant, PBR Hawaii, for they of course would want a new town and they of course would want it located on Val and Katherine Peroff's property known as Nani Kahuku Aina , LLC's and their proposed new town Kahuku Village.
