I’m Tom Witten, a <br />land planner with PBR Hawaii that has assisted W.H. Shipman in formulating a <br />community-based conceptual master plan for Keaau. As some community leaders may <br />testify tonight, W.H. Shipman engaged the Keaau community in 2006 along with our <br />firm to formulate an updated master plan for Keaau Town. Recognizing the emphasis the <br />recently adopted General Plan of 2005 placed on Keaau, the planning effort focused on <br />how the vision of the General Plan could be realized and creating a master plan for Keaau <br />Town that was consistent with the General Plan. <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />
