Chair Planning Committee Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd and Members of the Council
Subject-. Support for Kohanaiki Open Space Designation
Dear Chair Planning Committee Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd and Members of the Council:
I am writing in full support of Mayor Kim and Planning Director Yuen's proposed amendment to
the County General Plan to place the shoreline at Kohanaiki into the Open Space designation.
As a resident of Hawaii, I fully support the broad community that regularly accesses this area for
surfing, fishing and camping and their longstanding stewardship of this precious community
resource.
It is important to ensure that Kohanaiki is protected from the impacts of exclusive / resore
development along the coast for the following reasons:
1. This area is rich in native Hawaiian cultural sites including village areas, sacred ceremonial
areas, anchialine ponds, wetlands and trails as well as habitat for endangered plants, birds and
reef fish.
2. The land is adjacent to the Kaloko Honokohau National Park and a portion of it has been
designated to be within the Congressionally Authorized Park boundaries.
3. The local cominuniry as well as visitors enjoy the beach and coastal area as a prime surfing,
fishing, day use and camping spot.
4. The Kohanaiki 'Ghana, Na Keiki He'e Nalu and the Kona comtnuniry have demonstrated
commitment to stewardship of the natural and cultural resources for over 12 years, providing
bathrooms and trash pick up, beach clean ups, trail and pond restoration projects.
Thank you for considering my vote for Open Space along the coast at Kohanaiki and my full
support of Bill #163.
Designating open space today is a guarantee of access to our beaches for our future generations.
