County of Hawaii <br /> June 13, 2023 <br /> RE: OPPOSE KAUPULEHU LAND LLC PL-SLU-2022-000008 AND PL-REZ-2022-000039 <br /> To Thom It May Concern, <br /> My name is Shannon Shively and I live in Kamuela, HI and I OPPOSE all applications submitted <br /> by Kaupulehu Land LLC. <br /> I do not believe we need, nor do I want more commercial space in this small country-town of <br /> Waimea, especially at the entry to town where the traffic risks are detrimental. In addition, I don't <br /> support turning agricultural land into commercial and/or residential lots. There has been a <br /> frequent recurrence of agricultural land being subjugated to real estate developers lately, and <br /> this will only promote additional loss of such land no longer being used for it's original intended <br /> purpose. With the recent advent of green energy, the question that comes to my mind is how is <br /> turning well-preserved and un-populated agricultural land into pollutive commercial lots with <br /> huge parking lots as well as smaller residential lots that will only increase traffic and car <br /> pollution in the area, helping the pristine environment that the Big Island has had to offer? <br /> We choose to reside in Waimea and have for many, many decades because we desire the <br /> small-town residential feel that Waimea has to offer. Turning agricultural land into commerical <br /> and smaller residential lots will only increase the population of this town, making this small town <br /> with limited infrastructure and space, even more congested with pollution, and traffic. <br /> I am asking the planning committee to reject these applications. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jason and Shannon Shively <br /> Kamuela, HI 96743 <br />
