Re: Bill No. 163 (Comm. 493) - Proposed Ordinance Adopting the County of
Hawaii General Plan and Repealing Ordinance No. 89-142, As Amended
Dear Councilmembers and Mr. Yuen:
On behalf of our client, Continental Pacific, LLC, we object to one of the
revisions to the County of Hawaii General Plan proposed in the above -referenced Bill that
would change the designation for lands owned by Continental Pacific, LLC in the vicinity
of Pepeekeo at TMK (3) 2-8-007: 053 from "Intensive Agricultural" and "Extensive
Agricultural" to "Industrial" on the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
("LUPAG") Map. This proposed revision is labeled `B-2" on the LUPAG Map attached
hereto as Exhibit "1."
As you may be aware, Continental Pacific's plans for developing the area
around Pepeekeo Point into agricultural and residential lots are nearly completed.
Tentative approval of Continental Pacific's third revised preliminary plat map for SUB
2002-0043, the Pepeekeo Makai Lands, was granted on October 1, 2002. All subdivision
infrastructure has been constructed and completed. In addition, on September 18, 2002,

Continental Pacific submitted applications to rezone portions of TMK (3) 2-8-007: 053
from MG -5a General Industrial to RS -20 Single -Family Residential for the area near
Pepeekeo Point, and from A -20a to Limited Industrial ML -20 for the mauka area known
as Lot 91 to support the industrial needs of the surrounding agricultural uses, as depicted
on the location map attached hereto as Exhibit "2."
The proposed General Plan amendment to allow future industrial uses in the
Pepeekeo Point area is not consistent with the existing uses that are already in process for
the land owned by Continental Pacific in this area. Therefore, we respectfully request
that the Planning Department and the County Council reject any proposed General Plan
LUPAG map or text amendments that involve the lands owned by Continental Pacific
LLC in the Pepeekeo area.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
CARLSMITH BALL LLP
