Dear Mr. Chung and members of the Finance Committee:
Subject: Testimony in support of Resolution 129 03
On behalfofmy client, James S. Greenwell, President of Lanihau Properties, LLC, we are requesting
your support for the adoption of Resolution 129 03 relating to the Preparation of (1) a North Kona
Regional Sewage Master Plan; and (2) a Council Initiated Improvement District Implementation
Study for the Construction of Certain Wastewater and Recycled Water System Improvements for
Kealakehe, Honokohau, Kaloko and Kohanaiki, District of North Kona, Hawaii.
Lanihau Properties, LLC or its affiliated companies own approximately 888 acres of land in
Honokohau, between Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Mamalahoa Highway/Palani Road. These
lands include approximately 337 acres which has been recently reclassified from Conservation to
Urban by the State Land Use Commission and is proposed for development as a mixed commercial
and industrial area.
Without the County's leadership in establishing a regional wastewater solution for this fast growing
region, individual landowners in the area will be forced to seek cost effective wastewater solutions
that while addressing their individual concerns, may not support a broad regional wastewater system.
In this regard, if the resolution is adopted, Lanihau is committed to working with the County and
other landowners in seeking a cost effective comprehensive regional plan for addressing wastewater
treatment in this region.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide our comments on this matter.
Sincerely,
~1~~
William L. Moore
