ARNETT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> April 24, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> Councilmember Angel Pilago <br /> County of Hawaii County Council <br /> 75-5706 Hanama Place, Room 109 <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Councilman Pilago: <br /> <br /> I write this letter to you as the representative of Kanuha Ohana LLC, which <br /> entity is comprised of many members of the Kanuha Ohana of Kona. We support <br /> the zoning change being requested for TMK (3) 7-5-3: parcels 7, 8, & 9 by SCD <br /> Kona 108 LLC, which change is proposed to re-designate about 108 acres from <br /> A-5a to RA-1 and RM-3.5 for some affordable housing and a Salvation Army site <br /> plus some 1-acre plus lots. <br /> <br /> The land in question is adjacent to the Kanuha family land at TMK (3) 7-5- <br /> 3:005, and we have worked with the applicant for many years as adjoining <br /> property owners. They are providing the Kanuha land with access and utilities at <br /> several points from their project, and we would very much like to have their <br /> project go through. It will help get the large rock stockpile on the Kanuha land <br /> moved as well, which will please the neighbors. <br /> The Kanuha family has owned their property for over 100 years but has <br /> not been able to use it, and this adjacent property development will help the <br /> Kanuha family finally realize many goals and benefits. <br /> <br /> The project is a good use of the land, which provides many community <br /> benefits (Salvation Army civic center; affordable housing; contribution to the <br /> roadway needs of Kona) in addition to the benefits to the Kanuhas. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Post Office Box 839 Kealakekua, Hawaii 96750 (808) 323-3210 <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm. No. V6. <br /> Ref. To.- Presented PC. <br /> Ref. Date' 0 2na <br />
