Domian, Jesse <br />'AIR ,f!!N `art AM e ,Q <br />From: Jeffrey Yamauchi P L NNII`\I(_ DE!'ARTMENT <br />Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 4:10 PM COUNTY OF HAWAII <br />To: Planning Internet Mail <br />Subject: Re: Proposed redevelopment plans for the Banyan Drive area <br />Overall, I like the plan for redevelopment plan for Banyan Drive with one exception the hotel adjacent to the <br />Liliuokalani Gardens and from the looks of the footprint it will also destroy the tea house which is an integral <br />part of the Gardens. <br />Moreover, the open area will be obstructed with the Hotel. I understand the reason for putting a hotel there <br />because of the Garden but it will really damage the intention of Liliuokalani appreciation for Japanese <br />landscaping and the friendship between the two countries. <br />Plus many local Hilo residents use that open space and it would very sad to turn it into more of a commercial <br />venture. <br />Please consider changing your plans and perhaps concentrate the hotels in the current existing area along the <br />shoreline. <br />In regards, <br />JY <br />Jeff Yamauchi <br />Cultural Resource Specialist, Environmental - RCUH/PCSU <br />US Arm Garrison, Pohakuloa Trainin• Area PTA , Hawai`i <br />1 <br />SCM <br />JUL 2016 <br />p_��o 1®6235 <br />
