SUBJECT: Testimony Re: Res.561.24, Com. 941
There is an overwhelming majority of testimonies opposing this KV3 development, for
many, many very important and factual reasons. One of the most important issues cited
is the cultural importance of the land, which has been thoroughly researched and
documented. I am askina that vou honor the majority DOSition of our taXDavers and
reserve this land by entering into negotiations with P.O.N.C.
I would also like to point out that "Affordable Housing" is the single, consistent theme of
every testimony in favor of this KV3 development. The fact of the matter is that none of
these condos or homes will be "affordable" by any measurement or calculation, because
they are located in a very prime ocean view area close to the center of Kona Town.
(NOTE: Wheelock and his partners have a history of trading off their Housing Credits to
avoid having to comply with government Affordable Housing requirements.)
Given the lack of any other reasons proffered to approve this permit extension,
AND the overwhelming majority of testimonies from Island residents opposing this
development for a long, long list of actual facts, there is insufficient support to move
this forward.
P.S. PLEASE SAVE OUR FLOOD PLAIN
Respectfully Submitted,
Janice Kerr
