Re: Clifto's O'oma Project ~
Date: August 4, 2004
1 urge you to follow the requirement in the County General Plan that rezonings be
undertaken only If they serve the public good, and the democratic ideal that the public is
in the best position to determine what that goad is,
The people of Kona are hutting. They're hurting because too much development ha~
been allowed to proceed without adequate infrastructure and because developers aro
never required to provide affordable housing close to the workplaces they create, ese
two things conspire to croate intolerable traffic conditions in West Hawaii.
The O'oma project should not be allowed to proceed until the present traffio congest on in
Kona is resolved and the roads can easily handle additional traffic, and there is a bi ing
commitment to actually build on-site employee housing--or housing that does not re uire
use of Queen Kaahtunanu Highway or long commutes for workers to get to their jo
concurrentlywith the rest of the development, There should also be a provision that
these requirements cannot be modified.
If the Council has any doubt as to how West Nawai'i feels about this project, I urge them
to make it a referendum issue.
