From: Lynn Walther <br /> To: W PCtesti mono <br /> Subject: Testimony-SMA permit extension for Black Sands Beach LLC—Punalu'u <br /> Date: Wednesday, March 27,2024 12:32:29 PM <br /> Lynn Walther <br /> 16-2041 Koloa Maoli Rd. <br /> Kurtistown, Hawaii 96760 <br /> March 27, 2024 <br /> Aloha Ladies and Gentlemen, <br /> Please deny the proposed Shoreline Managment Area/SMA permit extension for <br /> Black Sands Beach LLC — Punalu`u. <br /> The cultural history and heritage of Punalu`u, Ka`u are incontrovertible; a place <br /> associated with the Chiefs and priests of Tahiti, ancient religious sites, and <br /> remembered as the site from which Keouakuahuula, launched in his fateful meet with <br /> Kamehameha I. <br /> Instead of considering development of the area surrounding this very imporant <br /> cultural site, perhaps conservation easement makes more sense, with purchase by <br /> the County, and focus on stewardship. It's an imperfect solution but gives <br /> consideration to preservation of cultural heritage in the interest of future generations <br /> of descendants, and Hawaii's people. <br /> It's one thing when we don't know. Like in Kona, back in the day when major sites <br /> were bulldozed for Mamalahoa Highway. But now, everybody knows better. <br /> Please deny the Shoreline Managment Area/SMA permit extension for Black Sands <br /> Beach LLC — Punalu`u. <br /> Mahalo for your consideration, <br /> Lynn Walther <br /> Junalequeen808Qyahoo.com <br /> 808 557-7650 <br />
