Subject: Delete F-2 Amendment
To: The Hawaii County Council, reviewing Bill 309 - Amendment F-2 in HILO for Tuesday,
October 24th at 2PM.
I am extremely disappointed and disheartened to learn that the public hearing scheduled in
Kona to review Bill 309 - Amendment F-2 has been cancelled. Although I understand that you
must respond to the earthquake damage, I do not understand why the Kona Public Hearing
could not have been rescheduled to allow West Hawaii residents to voice their opinion on this
very important issue.
I live in Captain Cook, on the road to Kealakekua Bay, and I wish to strongly oppose any
changes that go against the goals to preserve agricultural land in South Kona as expressed in
the long-range Genera[ Plan [GP] of February 2005.
Specifically, I urge the council to DELETE the Proposed F-2 Amendment to the Genera[ Plan
Land Use Pattern [LUPAG Map] because it will change almost 100 acres above Kealakekua Bay
from "Important Agriculture" Land Use Designation to "Rural" Land Use.
Kealakekua Bay is a precious marine preserve that is treasured by the people of Hawaii and
visitors. Allowing more congestion to encroach of the beautiful area will diminish and
endanger the marine life that is supposed to be protected.
Please delete the Proposed F-2 Amendment to the General Plan.
Sincerely, Dave Benavides
