From: Nancy Hall <br /> To: LPCtestimony <br /> Subject: SAY NO to rezoning attempt by Metzler <br /> Date: Monday,July 15,2024 8:23:43 AM <br /> Aloha <br /> As a resident of Waimea I am asking the Leeward Planning Commission to NOT approve <br /> Kaupulehu Land LLC's application to rezone an Agricultural 5 acre to Neighborhood <br /> Commercial and Residential for the following reasons: <br /> - This proposed development is inconsistent with the 2005 Hawai'i County General Plan as the <br /> project FAILS TO PROTECT significant agricultural lands by rezoning them <br /> - FAILS TO PROTECT the rural ranching character of Waimea <br /> - Project is an excessive,huge commercial project and will severely impact traffic, increase <br /> property taxes in Waimea which is already very expensive for the average income local <br /> resident to live. This town does not need more gentrification. <br /> - This project is also NOT CONSISTENT with the South Kohala CDP of 1008 as it FAILS <br /> TO MEET GUIDELINES by removing prime agricultural lands and pushing ugly commercial <br /> development further east of Waimea town. <br /> Please DO NOT approve this application. Be responsible for adhering to the General Plans <br /> and curtailing overdevelopment and keeping the rural character of Waimea. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Nancy Cross-Hall <br />
