RE: In SUPPORT of
Res. 169-07
Greetings Honorable Council Members,
Land ownership changes affect many people in many ways. Changing the disposition of an
historical gathering place with significant cultural, historical, natural and
sustainability value will have an effect
on everyone who enjoys Punalu'u today, for ever.
Please ensure the change in disposition of Punalu'u and adjacent properties is in the
public's best interest.
The public, especially the children of this district, are severely at risk of losing the
ability to learn from this great natural
resource. Giving up the opportunity to
buy back these lands for the public domain is not a message the Council should project on
our youth, but that is what will happen, i£ Resolution 169-07 is voted down.
Please approve the buy back of Punalu'u and adjacent lands (that are presently for sale)
for open space.
Include all that is possible to attain, all contiguous and significant properties in the
area that are up for sale. Try not to subdivide parcels for partial ownership, but to
acquire them in their
entirety. There will never be another
opportunity to do so.
Sincerely,
2
