KSBE owns a parcel that rune between Kuakini <br /> Highway and Alii Drive at the southern end of Kailua village, <br /> approximately across Alii Drive from Huggo's Restaurant. <br /> Kailua town activity is definitely moving south and public parking <br /> is sorely needed. This need will increase as the village continues <br /> to grow. At the present time, the parking is totally inadequate, <br /> even at the north end of town, wham most businesses are now. with <br /> the addition of the businesses now and soon to be located 1n the <br /> new Coconut Market Place, and a planned expansion of Huggo's, the <br /> parking requirements will increase, even though these new shopping <br /> and activity plazas will have to meet standard requirements to <br /> provide adequate parking spaces for their individual businesses. <br /> As a longtime resident of Kailua-Kona, I strongly urge your <br /> committee to accept Councilman Tyler's recommendations. <br /> On another matter relative to the Hamakua lands, I also understand <br /> that Councilman Tyler will also be recommending a land exchange be <br /> made between the Hamakua Sugar Lands and SoBay Hawaii Inc., present <br /> owners of Wai'aha ]jeaeh, known as Honl's. This beach should never <br /> bo developed by a private landowner. It should be designated a <br /> public park for use by all the people of Hawaii. it is one of the <br /> last beeehee in the Kona dlaLrict and it should not be taken away, <br /> ns it has been used extensively by surfers and their families. It <br /> is one of the few places kids can learn the cultural sport of <br /> ~,urfinq and It's importance to the Hawaiian lifestyle. <br /> H`Ile Ne. 17_ <br /> L~~ <br /> P. ~ Fresenled . ~L <br /> p~ $EP 0 1 t998 <br /> <br />
