Nicholas and Jimi-Jean Camp <br /> 64-1127 Kamukamu Place <br /> Kamuela, HI 96743 <br /> June 13, 2023 <br /> To: Leeward Planning Commission <br /> Subject: We oppose the Kaupulehu Land LLC applications <br /> (PL-SLU-2022-000008) & (PL-REZ-2022-000039) <br /> Aloha, <br /> We are writing to show our opposition to the application by Kaupulehu Land LLC to convert a <br /> 5-acre agricultural parcel, TMK (3) 6-4-024:027, into a Commercial and Residential <br /> development. <br /> First, what are the plans for current improvements to the existing infrastructure to <br /> accommodate this unnecessary 3 building commercial development?The current location is <br /> already congested, especially during peak traffic times; thus, this development should not even <br /> be considered without first improving the public roads and infrastructure. The potential dangers <br /> to motorists, pedestrians, bus routes for children, and cyclists are numerous and should be <br /> addressed before a new development is approved. <br /> Next, apart from a few long-standing commercial properties, most neighboring properties are <br /> agricultural and residential homeowners. They, along with ourselves, are dedicated to <br /> maintaining and preserving the beauty of Waimea. This community has a long standing history <br /> built on ranching and farming. Generations of families still depend on farming and ranching as <br /> ALL or part of their livelihood. We need to maintain as much agricultural land as possible to <br /> allow for the families and community to maintain their living. Along with the traditions, values, <br /> and morals that make our community so strong. <br /> Unfortunately, many of the values that this town was built on seem to be fading away. Waimea <br /> has become one of the most attractive and highly desired real estate locations, has been driven <br /> by money and those who have it. A town that many long time families can no longer afford to <br /> live because of developments such as this which only profit the wealthy. Before you consider <br /> approving this development, I humbly ask that you consider the future generations of this town, <br /> and if this will benefit their future, or simply the bank account of Kaupulehu Land LLC. <br /> We appreciate your time in reading this written testimony and ask that you vote NO and not <br /> approve this application. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> AIML <br /> Nicholas L.
