Dear County Councilmembers,
Kau residents just received a letter itemizing commitments for the
proposed Punalu'u development from Pat Blew, Managing Partner of Sera
Mountain Five, LLC. However, Mr. Blew failed to sign his letter. I am a
public notary and will attend the County Council meeting in Hilo on July S't'
to notarize Mr. Blew's signature on the letters of recipients who will bring
them, if he agrees to sign them then.
At the County Council meeting on June 19`!' in Kona, planner Georf,e
Atta told the County Council that the road to the boat ramp did not nun
through the Sea Mountain property zoned for the smaller hotel. It is a
mystery to me why Mr Atta would make such a false statement when clear:y
the road is shown on several maps in his own company's DEIS (pg. 4•~6
"Makai Survey Area", p.4-39 "Sea Mountain Biological Survey", pg.2••6
Master Plan, pg. 5-61 to name a few).

Here's what Pat Blew said about the boat ramp: "Sea Mountain will
improve the pazking and install restroom facilities in the boat ramp area.
The boat ramp area will be given to the County so it will always be availabie
for launching boats and public use." There is no mention about the road
to the boat ramp staying open to the public. It's hard to launch boats
when there is no road to the boat ramp. So why not commit to keeping the
road open to the public? Would it devalue the properly zoned for the small~;r
hotel? Make it harder to sell, when the "chunking-out" begins?
This is one of many reasons I stopped working with the developer in
the series of somewhat secretive meetings: slippery, duplicitous verbosity
designed to sway naive residents without any firm commitment. I have lost
faith in every word spoken by the developer, and this recent unsigned letG.r
is proof once again of knavery.
Thank you,
~Jl~.
