RE: BILL #178, REZONING REQUEST FROM CLIFTO'S KONA COAST LLC FROM A
MG3A ZONING TO A PROJECT DISTRICT ZONING.
To the Honorable Chairman James Arakaki and the County of Hawaii County Council,
We are writing to you today concerning Bill #178. This is the rezoning request of CGfto's Kona
Coast LLC to change their existing zoning of MG3a to a Project District on their 83 acre highway
parcel which is located on the South side of the Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii. We understand this
is on your County Council agenda for Apri121, 2004.
As our elected representatives, we strongly urge your approval to this zoning change for numerous
reasons that are extremely beneficial to our community, you, your families and most importantly
your constituents.
We feel [hat Kona, North Kona and South Kohala are in desperate need of alternative choices for
housing, goods and services. We all are aware of the current, continuing and increasing traffic
problems in West Hawaii and feel that if given a viable alternative, we will gratefully embrace it
and use i[. The concept of providing substantial goods and services six miles North of Kona is
most appealing and extremely logical. The equitable distribution of goods and services will greatly
enhance our lives. There are literally thousands of people who live in this area and have no choice
but to drive into Kona for their needs. No other choices at all! Just think of the thousands of cars
that will no longer drive into Kona and impact the only two roadways. The impact this project
w;,uld have on the traffic issues and quality of life for us is immeasurable. Everybody wins! We
also support Clifro's Kona Coast LLC's offer to provide 20% of his multi-family units to be
deemed affordable housing' which is double the requirement. This will greatly assist the many
needy families with their battle in the ever increasing cost of living in Hawaii.
Again, we need your help to improve our lives and the lives of the people of Hawaii whom you
have been elected to protect and represent. With all the residential projects totaling thousands of
units that have zoning in place and are going to be built in the very near future in West Hawaii, we
need your support to approve this project so we can have a better choice for our vital goods and
services. Please approve this rezoning request. Please contact us with any comments or questions.
Mahalo and Aloha,
Larry K. Bryan
