I understand that there is to be an extension of the meeting for the permits to diminish the <br /> beauty of Kali. This is happening because of all the testimonies to speak out against any development, <br /> as I understand it. I'd like to formally urge you to consider moving this meeting to take place in Kali, as <br /> it's determining the very future of our district. It would be in the best interest of the district and her <br /> people to have the meeting on a weekend, such a Saturday, so that this experience can be easily <br /> accessible to the people this decision would directly affect. <br /> Please understand how far the people have traveled, how early everyone was up on their days off from <br /> their hard working jobs, as the prior meeting was on a weekday, to be able to attend and have the <br /> opportunity to be heard. Please understand how wholeheartedly people are speaking out against this. <br /> This is the last remaining affordable district across any island. We can only, all too easily, assume how <br /> many people who see an affordable opportunity to move to Hawaii (while also not understanding the <br /> limits of Oceanview and Naalehu, like water catchment and the building standard for example). Not only <br /> will the development be a blemish on the untouched landscape, but it'll draw in people who will <br /> undoubtedly go against the traditions of what it means to live Kali, to live country. <br /> I beg that you consider moving this continued meeting to a more easily accessible location on a <br /> considerate day(in Kali on a Saturday) for the people to speak their pieces. There are several open slots <br /> on Saturdays at the Kali County Gym: March 16 &23, April 6, 13 &20. If you personally detest the <br /> commute, or if it's too inconvenient, remember who this is for. Remember the people and families up at <br /> 5am ready to commute. Remember the people you're supposed to be considering and protecting. And <br /> always remember to KEEP KA'U KA'U. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Jill Tomlin <br /> Resident& Mother in Kali <br /> 808-300-8262 <br /> Jilltomlin29@gmail.com <br />
