PLAN `f0 PROTECT KONA <br /> 74-5602-A Alapa Street <br /> Suite 725 <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> March 6, 1997 <br /> ~7 ~ci Y <br /> James Arakaki, ~ <br /> Chairman ~~~/h y~ <br /> Hawaii County Council r~ <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> RE: Bills 371, 372 and 373 (Draft 5) <br /> Desr Chairman Arakai and Members of the Hawaii County Council: <br /> My name is Nancy Pisicchio. I am testifying today in opposition to <br /> Bills 371, 372 and 373 (Draft 5) on behalf of the Community organization <br /> Plan To Protect. The purpose of Plan To Protect is to encourage the <br /> sustainable use of our Island's land and other resources. <br /> Bill 373 (Draft.5), together will those previously approved for <br /> the Oceanside 1250 project, contains a condition requiring the applicant <br /> to construct the approximately six mile long Mamalahoa Highway Bypass. <br /> Extending from ~'ceauhou to Captain Cook, this Highway would affect <br /> many members of this Organization and have a tremendous impact upon the <br /> physical, natural, social and economic environment over an extensive <br /> area. But no Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared that <br /> would study these impacts. <br /> In order to fulfill the requirements of Chapter 343 HRS, we believe <br /> Bills 371, 372 and 373 (Draft 5) can not be approved until an <br /> <br /> environmental assessment of this County action has been produced. <br /> Thank you for your attention. <br /> Sincerely, j 0 ~ <br /> Cooza~ liar <br /> Presented c~„„~.~ <br /> Nancy Pisicchio Ref. 2b~ <br /> Ret.
