From: Heather Christianson <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Opposition to SMA permit <br /> Date: Monday,March 4, 2024 9:04:20 AM <br /> Aloha and to whom it may concern, <br /> I write in complete opposition to the development of a resort in Punalu`u,Ka`u.As a kama`aina,born and raised in <br /> Hawaii,I have seen the long term damage that over development of our island has caused to the `aina and <br /> Hawai`i`s community within the last 50 years. <br /> Punalu`u is truly one of the last pristine wahi papa(sacred places)where food gathering and cultural practices are <br /> protected and possible. It would be devastating and utterly heartbreaking to see the area misused by resort <br /> development. <br /> Winward Planning Commission,please do not grant an SMA permit for the development of a resort at Punalu`u and <br /> Wailau in Ka`u,Hawaii.Please listen to the voices of Hawai`i`s people. <br /> Mahalo nui, <br /> Heather Christianson <br /> Sent from my Whone <br />
