I support Resolution 286-25 being heard by the LAAC on Tuesday, September 2nd, 202-5-14o'ohilu
Landing is a jewel of a property and deserves to be preserved from commercial developgent.�-= -
For Years, until the eruption, my family used the hot ponds as a get away for relief. It should
be avail able for all locals to use this area as a resource for history and
preservation from destruction for perpetuity. The people need undisturbed
land for the continuation of the natural order of life. Lower Puna (Puna Makai)
has limited ocean access after the 2018 volcanic eruption on the East Rift Zone and we need to
preserve this land in perpetuity as it already serves as a place to gather by the ocean, fish and
collect opihi.
The Honolulu ahupua'a is home to one of the older undisturbed village sites along the Puna
coastline which is the area first settled by the polynesians arriving from the S. Pacific. This area
contains many cultural features and qualifies to be on the list of State Historic Sites. and that the
Hawaiian Lineal Descendant's are in full support of its preservation as open space.
The most important thing is we do not want that land to become commercialized. We want that
land to be purchased by the County Of Hawaii and to be held in perpetuity as an Ancient Historical
Hawaiian Village Preservation Site. The 364 Acres of an Ancient Hawaiian Village should be
purchased by the County of Hawaii and made an Ancient Historical Preservation Site!
