Subject- Written testimony on F-2 - BILL 309 HEARING
Written Testimony on Bill 309 - F-2
to County Council Members meeting on October 24, 2006 in Hilo
October 23, 2006
Dear Hawaii County Council Members,
How unfortunate that the promised public hearing on F-2 -Bill 309 is not to be held
in Kona - as was originally proposed and scheduled - to allow the concerned citizens of
West Hawaii to easily testify at a time and place to which they can attend during
their free time (this is a working class community!). I intended to testify at the public
hearing scheduled for October 25th at the King Kamehomeha Hotel but I will not try to
testify via video confereneing mechanism (I don't want to risk- again- its
possible failure), therefore I am writing to you.
I feel very strongly that it is essential that the Council DELETE the. Proposed F-2
Amendment to the Genergl,.Plan Land Use Pattern.[LUPAG Manlnl. If not, by changing the
status of almost 100 acres above Kealakekua Bay from "Important Agriculture" Land Use
Designation to "Rural" Land Use (which actually means "developable" since "Rural" Land
Use can be rezoned to permit 9,000 square foot lots and commercial use) you would be
opening the doors to the creation of a basically suburban subdivision right above
Kealakekuo Bay.
This clearly subverts the goals of preserving agricultural land in South Kona as expressed
in the long-range General Plan [GP] of February 2005.
We must preserve the unique country environment of both Kealakekuo Bay and the S.
Kona Agricultural Lands. Is it not clearly to the advantage of everyone in Hawaii
County that the needs of the community in this case be considered as ItagM. No, . ~1

F-2 Amendment.
Again, I ask you to please DELETE the F-2 Amendment from Bill 309.
