Hawaii County Council Committee on Planning
K. Angel Pilago, Chair
RE: Testimony in Support of County Resolution No. 383-06
Aloha Chair Pilago and members of the Committee on Planning,
I am in support of County Resolution No. 383-06 directing the Planning Director to
conduct a feasibility study of amending the General Plan to include resort on this
parcel of land. The area surrounding Honokohau Harbor was in urban and resort
prior to February 2005 and this General Plan amendment will restore what was taken
away.
The resort component provides the necessary income to furnish needed public
benefits including the new marina and a new road connecting Kuakini Highway and
Kealakehe Parkway through QLT lands.
Accommodations made available to visitors who will be utilizing the marina's many
new services, which include sport fishing events which is a billion dollar industry
world-wide, is mandatory for the development of the lands at Honokohau harbor.
With a resort hotel, the expanded harbor would be able to sustain itself as well as
provide the community a location to house visiting anglers, boat owners and their
families to participate in world recognized events.
I ask you to pass this resolution moving to study the feasibility and designate the
lands within the Kona Kai Ola project as Urban Resort and Open area once again.
