February 7, 2007 <br /> <br /> Attn: Hawaii County Councihnembers: <br /> RE: Testimony in support of Resolution 21-07 <br /> I am writing in support of Resolution 21-07, which would impose limits on the <br /> sizes of Supercenter stores on the Big Island. <br /> Without this resolution, huge corporations could build stores that are way too <br /> massive for our island. In many places on the mainland, superstores aze over 5 football <br /> fields in length and often generate over 20,000 car trips a day. Add to that the massive <br /> amounts of water and electricity that these structures require, and it is easy to see how <br /> they can add to the burden of existing government infiastructure. <br /> As a resident of the Big Island, I am deeply concerned with the dangers of <br /> unchecked development. Supercenter stores that are allowed to build massive complexes <br /> will bring too much traffic to our already congested roads and will hurt our local retail <br /> stores, many of which have been here for decades. Our island culture will also be <br /> negatively unpacted with these types of stores-stores that aze not a good fit for us. <br /> Please vote YES on Resolution 21-07, and allow further discussion on this very <br /> worthwhile legislation. <br /> Submitted By: ~ ' u-C~f ~C~~"`^"~"~ <br /> Address: 7s-5'/~~~ i~,A-vtc.
