Box 172 , ~ Honaunau, HI 96726 <br /> i j <br /> Chair Planning Committee Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd and Members of the Council <br /> Subject: Support for Kohanaiki Open Space Designation <br /> Dear Chair Planning Committee Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd and Members of the Council: <br /> I atn a long-time resident of Hawaii, and personally desire and support our comcnuniry to <br /> continue having regularly accesses this area for fishing, surfing, and camping and to continue <br /> their longstanding stewardship of this awesomely beautiful community resource. <br /> Exclusive resort development must not be allowed to impact our coastline. Kohanaiki Must be <br /> protected for its native Hawaiian cultural sites, sacred ceremonial sites, village areas, wetlands, <br /> ponds and trails. <br /> Also, the area must be protected because it is a habitat for endagered species of plants, birds and <br /> reef fish. <br /> This land is next to the Kaloko Honokohau National Park, and I understand that a portion of it <br /> has been designated to be within the Congressionally Authorized Park boundaries. <br /> My family and friends, as well as those we invite from the mainland, Asia and Europe come here <br /> to enjoy the beach, surfing, fishing and camping the Kohanaiki area. <br /> I have witnessed the coinYnitinent to the stewardship of this very special area by the Kohanaiki <br /> 'Oharia, Na Keiki He'e Nalu and the Kona cominuniry for many years, keeping the beach clean, <br /> <br /> restoring the ponds and trails and removing trash. <br /> Mahalo for considering my vote for Open Space along the coast at Kohanaiki and Yny full <br /> support of Bill #163. <br /> <br /> Please designate Kohanaiki as open space and guarantee of access to our coastline for our future <br /> generations. <br /> Comm.
