County of Hawaii <br /> June 16, 2024 <br /> RE: OPPOSE KAUPULEHU LAND LLC PL-SLU-2022-000008 AND PL- <br /> REZ-2022-000039 <br /> To Thom It May Concern, <br /> My name is Shannon Shively and I reside in the small town of Kamuela, HI, <br /> OPPOSE all applications submitted by Kaupulehu Land LLC for the re- <br /> zoning of Agricultural land to Commercial-use land, and the development of <br /> that land Commercially. <br /> do not believe we need, nor do I want additional Commercial space in this <br /> small country-town of Waimea, especially at the entry to town where the <br /> traffic risks are detrimental. In addition, I do not support re-zoning <br /> Agricultural land into Commercial and/or smaller Residential lots. There <br /> has been a frequent recurrence of Agricultural land being subjugated to <br /> Commercial real estate developers lately, and this will only promote <br /> additional loss of such land no longer being used for it's original intended <br /> purpose, Agricultural land. With the recent advent of green energy, the <br /> question that comes to my mind is how is turning well-preserved and un- <br /> populated agricultural land into pollutive commercial lots with huge parking <br /> lots as well as smaller residential lots that will only increase traffic and car <br /> pollution in the area; how will this proposed and increased Commercial <br /> development help the pristine environment that the Big Island has had to <br /> offer, with it's abundance of Agricuturally-zoned land? <br /> Taking this developer's request into consideration; to build three <br /> Commerical buildings in the town of Waimea, there presently exists eighty <br /> seven acres of property that has intentionally been zoned as Commerical <br />
