MR. MELROSE: Okay, and that's on the South side of that road right? <br />MS. KENNEDY: Correct. <br />MR. MELROSE: So in order not to split Waikoloa you actually need to include that piece in it? <br />MS. KENNEDY Yes, and part of ..... <br />MR. MELROSE: And I don't think Plan _40 does that, but I think just that's to keep in mind that <br />there is one other significant housing unit out there, on the other side of that. <br />MS. KENNEDY: And between Waikoloa Road and that housing development, we have planned <br />light industry and that would be all be hopefully all together with the village. <br />MR. MELROSE: Okay I just wanted to make sure that what I was remembering is actually in the <br />map. Thank you. <br />MS. KENNEDY:Thank you for thinking of that. <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you. Our next testifier is George Robertson, representing Puako <br />Community Association. <br />GEORGE ROBERTSON <br />(At this time George Robertson came forward to address members of the Commission.) <br />MR. ROBERTSON: George Robertson: Good evening folks, I guess you've heard my pitch <br />before for keeping Puako in with Waimea and North Kohala, and connected to those areas. We <br />feel very strongly that we don't want to break that bond, and we've been so well represented by <br />Pete Hoffman, who really has taken good care of us. And driving here tonight, I live in Wailea <br />Bay, Beach 69, which is next to Puako. I drove all this way and I thought, I can't imagine not <br />being connected with Waimea and represented by the same council person that takes care of <br />Waimea and our surrounding areas; so I mean, when you guys drive that road, think about it. It's <br />just a long haul of nothing in between. The resorts are there but you know the resorts are so <br />unique, it doesn't matter who represents them in my estimation. So anyway, keep us in mind, try <br />to keep us connected with Waimea. I know the trade off seems to be looking at Lakeland, what <br />do we do with Lakeland, like Margaret expressed, the Lakeland community is well represented <br />and well connected with Waimea already, so I don't think they'd be damaged by staying the way <br />they've been. I just want to acknowledge Margaret for the work she's done on Plan _40, and <br />that's our preference; that keeps us in with South Kohala and Waimea. I want to acknowledge the <br />hard work you folks are doing, this is a really tough job. Thank you very much. <br />MR. KAHUI: You just stated that your preference would be Plan_40 given the Puako connection <br />and also fitting in with District 9, I believe. <br />MR. ROBERTSON: Yes. <br />7 <br />
