Ohana Sport and More, LLC <br /> 45-3626 Mamane Street, Unit D <br /> Honokaa, HI 96727 <br /> ohanaSDortsandmore(@Qmail.com <br /> (808) 238-0083 <br /> January 27, 2026 <br /> To Whom It May Concern, <br /> Ohana Sport and More, LLC has recently become aware of the community-led efforts <br /> to preserve the coastal property identified as TMK 3-4-5-002-081-0000, <br /> approximately 38 acres, which is currently listed for sale on the open market. We <br /> support the proposal for this land to be acquired by the County rather than sold to a <br /> private individual for residential development. <br /> This area, commonly known as Pink House, Crack Stone, and Muka'a holds deep <br /> cultural and generational significance for the people of the upper Hamakua Coast. <br /> Families have fished from this shoreline for generations, relying on it not only for <br /> subsistence but also for the continuation of traditions, knowledge, and community <br /> identity. These places are part of the cultural landscape that connects local families to <br /> the land and ocean in meaningful and enduring ways. <br /> Public acquisition of this property would help ensure continued access for traditional <br /> fishing, protect sensitive coastal resources, and preserve the heritage that defines our <br /> community. Keeping this land in public hands is essential to safeguarding the practices <br /> and connections that have existed here for as long as anyone can remember. <br /> For these reasons, Ohana Sport and More, LLC expresses its support for the <br /> preservation of this property and encourages thoughtful consideration of this opportunity <br /> to protect an area of great importance to the Hamakua community. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charlene A.
