Leeward Planning Department February 27. 2024 Clare loprinzi Cultural Indigenous Practitioner Leeward Planning Commissioners #3 Strong Opposition to SMA Use application Applicant Phil Tinguely Walua Partners Aloha Kakou O Clare Loprinzi kou inoa. Noho au Honokohauiki. I am Indigenous Practitioner of over 50 years that has practiced customary traditional and cultural practices starting with the birth of our lineal descendants and the practices that keep us alive. I ask you all to read Act 50, that makes EA and/or EIS mandatory by the laws that protect our customary traditional and cultural practices and protects our wahipana which is essential for survival of both papahonua ame na kanaka.The desecration sites, caves and our places of worship is not allowed, let alone the pollution of our waters. These lands must be protected and not raped or set up with more and more development. This illegal development violates not only papahonua but now has Hawaii as the #4 highest in child sex slavery. This is the effect of raping and violating the land our desecrating our wahipana. The Hawaiians of this land need land to survive, to be able to grow food using the customary practices of the Kona Field System which is being done still and heal and grow the next generations to become healthy in all ways. We have our waters going to golf courses, our feces waste being dumped in my ahupuaa's kai, golf courses poisoning our waters and dumping a million gallons of feces in our sacred waters. The Leeward Planning Commission has kuleana to protect our waters/land/na wahipana/kanaka. We cannot sit aside and watch this. These developments would have many other negative consequences already stated by others(traffic/fires etc. Take the time to read Act 50 and all the other laws that protect papahonua ame na kanaka. We can not allow this to continue nor should you if you are doing your kuleana. You can read those that are in support of these developments that will make them all rich (not in aloha) in money and heva. Do your due diligence. EAducate yourselves and know we too much do our work to protect. ACT 50 A Bill for an Act Relating to Environmental Impact Statements.
