Deaz Council Member Hoffmann,
Resolution 169-07 is the perfect compromise for the increasingly contentious
conflict over `.PxeOPxttatio/t vs. JOBS. The purchase of the private land stretching from
Punalu'u to Ninole, extending 2,000 feet inland to create a County park, open to
everyone, would not eliminate the redevelopment of Punalu'u. Real estate agent Pat
Blew of Sea Mountain 5 has sold resort and housing development packages neaz timber
lakes and even in deserts. With 30 yeazs experience under his belt, he's quite capable of
packaging up the Punalu'u redevelopment, near a coastal county park. He may not make
as much commission as he desires, but at least this community would not lose its raze
treasure from Punalu'u to Ninole. And this could quell the turmoil embroiling in ICa'u
Without this compromise, community conflagration and endangered'- s~ecns'
habitats guarantee to tie up this project in the courts for years to come, just as it was fwd
up for the previous 10 years. Please make a decision to settle this dispute by supporl~g
the resolution to enter negotiations to acquire the coastal property. -
Sincerely,
