Subject: I strongly support Resolution 561-24
Aloha County Council Members,
My name is Bob Douglas, and I strongly support Resolution 561-24. Kona Three, LLC was not recommended for
development by credible organizations and its community because it has great cultural significance in a major FEMA
Flood Zone area. Kona, especially in this area, has inadequate infrastructure and cannot accommodate their plans for
450 housing units.
This PONC opportunity provides a win -win solution for land that should never have been rezoned and allowed for
housing development in the 80s and shouldn't be granted an extension after 40 years. To be purchase -ready as an
opportunity is very important to our community, and the landowner would have a respectful way out of this and do what
is right towards preserving Native Hawaiian culture, protecting a major flood zone and our community from flood and
runoff onto our coral reef.
We ask our County Council members to listen to our many years of infrastructure support requests instead.
Thank you for your time.
