preserved and un-populated agricultural land into pollutive commercial <br /> lots with huge parking lots as well as smaller residential lots that will <br /> only increase traffic and car pollution in the area; how will this proposed <br /> and increased Commercial development help the pristine environment <br /> that the Big Island has had to offer, with it's abundance of Agricuturally- <br /> zoned land? <br /> Taking this developer's request into consideration; to build three <br /> Commerical buildings in the town of Waimea, there presently exists <br /> eighty seven acres of property that has intentionally been zoned as <br /> Commerical property (undeveloped and under-developed land between <br /> the Fish & Hog restaurant and land by Pukalani Stables). This eighty <br /> seven acres of presently unallocated Commercially-zoned land should <br /> first be utilized for any Commercial development requests, prior to any <br /> Agrictural-land being re-zoned to Commercial land. The property <br /> owners bordering this undeveloped eighty seven acres of Commerically <br /> zoned property already have the expectation of the possibility of new <br /> Commercial development occurring on this land. As opposed to the <br /> alternative of distubiring the current property owners of Agricultural land, <br /> by re-zoning it to Commerical-use property. <br /> Additionally, It has been discovered that the portion of the currently- <br /> zoned Agricultural land which Metzler is proposing to re-zone to <br /> Commercial in order to build three (3) Commercial buildings, will be built <br /> in the AE/AEF Flood Zone Plain. On this Agricultural-zoned land that <br /> Metzler is attempting to develop into Commercial land, County <br /> regulations restricts the addition of any buildings, being that the land is <br /> located in a flood zone. <br /> We choose to reside in Waimea and have for many decades because <br /> we desire the small-town residential feel that Waimea has to offer. <br /> Turning pristine Agricultural land into Commerical/smaller residential <br /> lots will only increase the population of this town, making this small town <br /> with limited infrastructure and space, even more congested with <br /> pollution, and traffic. <br />
