Good morning, my name is Leslie Nugent and I'm a resident of Kapa`au. <br /> Thank you to the Leeward Planning Commission for your time this morning. I am a Co-Director <br /> of Operations for the North Kohala Community Resource Center and I'm here to share my <br /> opposition for the rezoning application by Dwayne Cravalho. To rezone the triangle on the front <br /> of Akoni Pule and Hoea Road currently it's Ag-20 designation to Commercial Village-7.5. We <br /> just wanted to share that there is no personal connection to Dwayne himself or his <br /> entrepreneurial endeavors to create a food truck. We support food trucks in our community and <br /> support small businesses and opportunities for farmers to get their food into the community is <br /> awesome. <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />
