Peter Evanovich <br />P.O. Box 6179 <br />Kamuela, HI 96743 <br />15 January 2023 <br />County of Hawaii Planning Department <br />74-5044 Ane Keohokalole Highway, Building E <br />Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br />Re: Applicant: AHU POHAKU HOOMALUHIA LLC (Formerly Robert Watkins and Jean <br />Sunderland). ( PI- SMA -2022-000018), Special Permit (SPP 01-000006 and PL -SPP 20222022- <br />000018, Tax Map Key: 5-4-009:014 <br />Dear County of Hawaii Planning Department: <br />I am the owner of approximately 7,500 acres of agricultural and conservation land in Kapa'au, <br />North Kohala, from Honopueo to Niuli'i, the western boundary of which is approximately 1200 feet <br />from the applicant's property and with whom I share common privately maintained access roads. <br />The Applicant's property is zoned AG 20, part of which is within the Special Management Area for <br />coastal lands. It's my feeling that a hotel (even if it's described by applicant as a "retreat center") is <br />not an appropriate use of these lands, violates the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, makes <br />my community less safe and puts a unsustainable strain on the community's infrastructure. <br />I am strongly opposed to this application. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter Evanovich <br />Owner, Ainakea Farms <br />Owner, 011ie Group <br />Owner, Ho'okipa Ranch <br />
