Subject: BILL 309 - Proposed General Plan Interim Amendment F2 P
Dear Council Committee on Planning,
Please DELETE General Plan Interim Amendment F2.
I understand that this amendment will change the County's current land use
designation from Important Ag land to Rural for the 100 acres that sits above
Kealakekua Bay just behind the Conservation area. Rural designation means
that land owners could apply for rezoning in order to subdivide their
properties into smaller lots for residential use. More homes, means more sewage
and more sewage means more seepage into Kealakekua Bay. The more seepage,
the more the chance of breeding the destructive cyanobacteria. Did the County do
an environmental impact statement to assess the ocean marine impacts from
sewage seepage and man-made runoff into Kealakekua Bay? Did you know that
there are many coastline oceans including Maui that are currently suffering from
man-made runoff? If Chris Yuen is not going to take the initiative to do an
environmental impact statement on Amendment F2 and how the change will affect
Kealakekua Bay, then the most responsible action to take is to DELETE General
Plan Interim Amendment F2 at this time.
Mahalo,
