Aloha County Council Members,
Re: NO VOTE- BILL 356.
This is a petition against Bill 356, a rezoning ordinance which, if passed, would allow the developer;
Continental Pacific, LLC to implement a plan to subdivide the Open Area at PEPEEKEO POINT to
create eleven residential lots with a forty foot set back from the edge of the pali.
PEPEEKEO POINT is the last remnant of a historic plantation community, and an important recreation
and scenic azea. This was the location of the old Pepeekeo Mill camp ballpazk. The azea has been used
for fishing, picnicking and ocean viewing activities continuously for decades. The pali is gently sloping
and low, making this the easiest place to access the shoreline for a four mile shoreline azea.
Public access to the former Pepeekeo Sugaz Mill and old camp is recognized in the County of Hawaii
Public Shoreline Access Inventory of 1979. The General Plan of 1989 designates the shoreline azea as
"Open: Parks and historic sites." Thirty-six and a half percent (36.6%) of the residential population of
Pepeekeo was determined to be under five years of age or fifty-five yeazs of age and older in the 2000
US Census. There has been no open space park and no special accommodations made for persons
needing convenient access to the shoreline azea in the comprehensive plan to subdivide 1300 acres and
four miles of shoreline in the Pepeekeo Makai subdivision. Bill 356 would permanently foreclose
planning options to provide for a convenient public access to the shoreline.
