Hawaii County Council Committee on Planning
K. Angel Pilago, Chair
Subject: County Resolution No. 383-06
Aloha Chair Pilago and members of the Committee on Planning,
I am writing to you in support of County Resolution No. 383-06.
I have attended the Kona Community Development Plan meetings over the past
few months and it has been evident that the community is in favor of directing its
future growth in the North Kona area from Kailua to Keahole.
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.
This resolution allows our planning director to study the feasibility of amending the
General Plan to allow for that growth with a resort component. This proactive
stance will allow our community to plan and our town to grow.
Like many in Kona I am excited about Jacoby Developments plans to expand the
marina and to extend Kuakini Highway through Queen Lliiuokalani Trust Lands to
Kealakehe Parkway. The Kona community has been asking for an expanded marina
for years and this new road will provide one piece of the puzzle to solve our traffic
problems.
I encourage you to pass this resolution directing the Planning Director to conduct a
feasibility study of amending the General Plan to include resort on this parcel of
land.
Mahalo for your consideration and kokua.
Respectfully Submitted,
. t~
