Subject: I oppose the development of Kona Three LLC
I oppose the development of Kona Three LLC for the following reasons
Other major developments - over 750 multi -family units, including workforce housing - have already been
approved in the immediate area.
Development is in a floodplain
Testimony has been given regarding pre- and post -contact archaeological and cultural significance, critical
habitat loss, ongoing water shortages, and drought.
These parcels are in HECO's power shut-off wildfire area.
Lack of concurrency required by the KCDP, putting additional strains on infrastructure, including the "Kona
crawl."
Impact on the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is already violating the Clean Water Act by
dumping effluent into nearshore marine waters.
The supportive testimony heard was almost exclusively given by those who already have or who will make
money off this application.
