Aloha Chair Kimball and County Councilmembers, ;
Thank you for your thoughtful attention to this application to extend the timeline on a 40-yearld pf_o!ect
at the recent LAAC meeting.
Mahalo to those of you who sent this forward with a negative recommendation! Please stay the
course.
To those of you who voted to approve this extension, I respectfully urge you to please reconsider.Would
you approve this project in your district?
• The applicant would like you to believe this project is for workforce housing, but it is not. If it was,
they wouldn't be including language allowing STVRs.
• They want you to ignore the location of this project being in a floodplain, but it is.
• They want you to think there is no archeological, historical, or species worthy of preservation
here, but there is.
• They want to ignore the need for infrastructure improvements prior to further impact on this moku,
but the necessity is there.
• The Cultural Resources Commission said this parcel should be preserved in perpetuity.The
applicant doesn't want you to care what your experts said.
• The applicant has tried multiple times to avoid actually building affordable housing-they aren't
really a developer or builder.They just buy low and want to sell high.
The Leeward Planning Commission didn't get a chance to forward a legitimate"no," because the
applicant gamed the system. Please don't let them game you.
Mahalo for your time and thoughtful attention to the facts of this application.
