From: Jane Manchon <br /> To: W PCtesti mony <br /> Subject: Black Sand Beach LLC Application for an SMA <br /> Date: Wednesday,March 6,2024 7:37:08 PM <br /> Testimony <br /> RE: Black Sand Beach LLC Application for an SMA Windward Planning Commission March <br /> 7, 2024 <br /> Aloha nui Commissioners, <br /> I urge you to vote against an SMA permit for the proposed development in Punalu'u. <br /> There is no clear public health, safety or otherwise compelling public interest that this project <br /> fulfills. You will hear the overwhelming majority of the testimony of the people of Ka`u <br /> telling you folks that they do not find this proposed project to be of benefit to the public <br /> interests of Ka`u. Retail, a handful of low-level service jobs and more housing for non- <br /> residents does not serve the public interest. Because of this, according to the guidelines <br /> articulated in HRS Chapter 205 specific to Special Management Areas, you cannot in good <br /> conscience grant this permit. <br /> Please keep wild spaces wild and do not allow for this development against the wishes of the <br /> local people. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Jane Manchon <br /> jane.manchonn4gmail.com <br />
