From: Lynda Lovon <br /> To: W PCtesti mono <br /> Cc: Kaaiwada,Jennifer <br /> Subject: BLACK SAND BEACH Testimony <br /> Date: Thursday,March 7,2024 10:02:45 AM <br /> Aloha, <br /> I demand that you REJECT any Application for a Special Management Area Permit to allow <br /> for the development of a residential and commercial community in Punalu'u. This will not be a <br /> "community"- this will be another resort for non-residents to exploit Hawaii for commercial <br /> and personal gain without contributing to any local community. It will cause environmental <br /> destruction to the natural environment and the precious eco-system of sea turtles. The <br /> ecosystem can not support this much development. It can't support the development that is <br /> already there. <br /> Your job is to PROTECT THE AINA first and foremost from development, not just sell it off <br /> to the highest bidder. <br /> DO NOT GRANT A PERMIT TO BLACK SAND BEACH LLC! They should take down the <br /> 'development' they have there already and restore the land to its natural state. <br /> KEEP COUNTRY, COUNTRY! Do not turn Punalu'u into another Kohala resort!!!!!!!!!!! <br /> If you do grant this permit, expect extreme political consequences. There will be resistance to <br /> any new development there on the level of what was seen on Maunakea. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Lynda Williams <br /> Hilo, District 2 <br />
