FOR YOU PAID
PERMIT # 166
There aze many issues that face our County today, none Ka;lua-Kona, HI
as significant as the General Plan revision. Without this
document and the necessary Regional Development Plans,
as your representative I lack guidance as to my approach
to rezoning actions that appear regularly on the County
Council's agenda.
Most of these applications aze small in size, i.e. subdividing
a five acre parcel into one acre or 2 1/2 acre parcels in
order to construct additional residences. Taken individually,
none dramatically impact local infrastructure problems.
Taken collectively, however, some adverse impact is likely.
Let me be cleaz, the developers proposing these changes
ECRWSS
are doing nothing wrong, nor are the property owners KAMUELA RESIDENT
involved. My question: do Waimea residents wish to see p0 BOXHOLDER
these applications approved? Is there any reason for me KAMUELA, HI 96743
to interfere in this process and halt this type of growth?
If Waimea had a Regional Development Plan, the answer
might be obvious, but since that isn't the situation, how
do you wish me to vote on issues of this nature?
To provide that guidance, I ask that you take a minute and participate in this `straw poll'. AYES or NO response
is all that is required. I recognize that few actions are this simple, however, some general idea that identifies the
community's approach to these issues is my purpose.
I ask that you return your response to me not later than February 15, 2005 by mail or simply hand this card in at
my office in the Holomua Center across the street from the Police Station. If the vote is close, one way or the
other, I will decide myself how to vote. However, if the results of this pool show a clear preference, I will vote
in that manner regardless of my own personal feelings. Obviously, I can't address each issue in this way.
Occasionally, however, I believe it's worth the effort to reach out as the local representative of both the residents
AND the developers to find a consensus on topics of importance. I ask that you assist me and participate in this
effort.
QUESTION: as a matter of routine, should I vote to approve all small (ten acre parcel ar
less) sub-divisions in the Waimea area until a Community Development Plan provides better
guidance?
YES NO
