HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 0186.033 2020-2022 To the Hawaii County Council:
My name is Laura Mallery-Sayre and I speak in favor of Resoution-80-21 to purchase
Kekealaniwahine at Banyans (Aphupua'a of Holualoa) TMK 7-6-014:013 consisting of
215.373 sq. ft. with the PONC funding available for land preservation. I concur with
Simmy McMicheals when she states :
"Banyans is the favorite surf spot for the entire island. It is famous for its annual keiki h;.;
surf contests. This sport is a Hawaiian cultural practice and it gives Hawaii people a
sense of place. There are very few undeveloped lots along the oceanfront and this one -
impacts the surf community at large. The community managed to stop a 5 story condo, - -
20 feet back from shoreline. We have a willing seller and we must stop building up our
ocean front. It causes erosion and pollution and makes our ocean unsafe to enjoy." :ALL

This type of land purchase is exactly what our community envisioned when it passed the
2 % Land Acquisition amendment years ago.
Please support this very meaningful purchase.
