Re: Kona Kai Ola Hawaii:
Proposed Amendments to Hawaii County General Plan
Kealakehe, Hawaii
Dear Mr. Yuen,-
It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you the firm of Jacoby
Development, Inc. (JDI). We have known and worked with Jinn and his team for
a number of years and have seen the results of his smart growth initiatives. The
Atlantic Station project is the National model for sustainable smart growth.
We have also worked with JDI on Maryland projects such as the Wayson
Corner (Jug Bay expansion) Green prints acquisition and on the Restoration of
White Marsh Sand Quarry into a mixed use project featuring General Motors.

As President of Smart Growth Leadership Institute, a part of Smart
Growth America, I support the Jacoby 'beam's sustainable development model
for Kona Kai Ola. Smart Growth America has a long tradition of not endorsing
specific projects, but I feel so strongly about Mr. Jacoby's extraordinary work that
I make this rare personal endorsement. We understand that the plans shall
include transportation alternatives, salt water air conditioning, waste
management and innovative water conservation measures. I look forward to
working with Jinn Jacoby and your community on this model project at Kona Kai
Ola.
