Ref: Resolution for Time Share No. 229 d0
fridge uako.~LS' The~',ill~ges of Aina Le'a
Dear Chairman Arakaki and Councilmembers:
The above action recently came to my attention and, although I have not had the opportunity to
become familiar with the proposal in detail, I understand there is before you a proposal to
approve the inclusion of substantial time share within Bridge Puako's The Villages of Aina Le'a
development. This is of serious concern to me, both as the owner representative of property at
and in my position of President of the Board of Directors of the Association of OwnErs of The
Cape at Mauna Lani. I ask that the Council carefully consider their actions in this matter.
I am certain you have received substantial input as to this resolution and my concerns are not
likely to be much different than those already voiced. The amount of transient vacation housing
proposed will have significant impact on adjacent and nearby public and private property and
resources. I understand development of this use is appropriately limited, and those zones are not
designated at or planned for Bridge Puako. Their development proposal appears to not include
the necessary amenities and facilities to accommodate such a resort use and this will most
assuredly result in significant increased pressure on the resources of other nearby properties as
vacationers leave The Villages in search all they expect from a trip to Hawaii. Mauna Lani,
Mauna Kea and Waikoloa will bear the brunt of this significant increase in transient traffic.
Please weigh your actions carefully: nearby public and private properties and resources deserve
this consideration.
Very truly yours,
for HFI Inc.
