From: George-Kaoalili Smith To: LPCtestimonv Subject: SMA 2021-000078,Jeketrina Mysin testimony,11/21/2024 to be distributed to Leeward Planning Commission members Date: Saturday,November 16,2024 10:22:30 AM Attachments: PastedGraohic-Long Importance: High George & Roberta Smith 75-6150 Alii Dr. 93 Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 Ala Ka La condominium, adjacent lot to Mysin property The applicant property TMK: 750200660000, 9,934 sq ft Zone: RM -1.5 Application: a six unit condominium. The applicant has publicly published their intent for the projected construction, characterized as a six-unit condominium. A statement of intent was published on FaceBook, on August 17, 2021 (to the best of my remembrance, the time stamp states month and date, but not year, and Nikolay Mysin has since removed the post history). An annotated screen shot of the post is attached. That statement includes the following: Mysin statemnent of intent_posted on Facebook 08/17/21 Paragraph 6: We made it six units so we can cover payment for our construction loan and be able to have affordable for kama'aina. Paragraph 7: Once the construction is completed we wouldn't sell it.I'm hoping that with kama'aina rates available local families would be able to enjoy a staycation_high school,graduation_honeymoons_class reunions_weddings or celebrate kids birthdays by the pool. We protest the continuance of the above-mentioned SMA for the following reason: The comments in the statement of intent clearly define the use as a mini-hotel and event center. Such is not an allowed use in a RM zone. We must take the applicant's own words as their true intent, which clearly demonstrates an improper use of the property. The application is rendered invalid by the applicant's own statements, and must be withdrawn, and a new SMA application tendered with a true statement of intent. Additionally, the site plans contain several non-conforming features, but those may be addressed at a different time within the public testimony period of the 11/21/24 Leeward Planning Commission review. Please review and respect the specifics of this contact to the Commission.
