<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> March t9,1998 <br /> <br /> L! <br /> TO: Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> County Council CC L. <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> <br /> RE: KEALAKEKUA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION <br /> KEALAKEKUA RANCH LANDS PROJECT <br /> Change of Zone, Ordinance No. 95-70 (REZ 798) <br /> <br /> <br /> My name is Morris Kimura and I have been a life-long resident of Kona. Over <br /> the years I have seen Kona grow and change with a variety of development projects. In <br /> the last few years, I have followed Kealakekua Development Corporation's plans for the <br /> development of the Kealakekua Ranch Lands that they have acquired. I have been <br /> impressed by the manner in which they have planned for the entire parcel and their effort <br /> in getting community input for their project. <br /> <br /> They have set aside more than 75% of the property as a forest preserve and have <br /> actually begun reforestation programs. I have seen areas planted in native koa trees and <br /> other trees that would do well for the soil and climatic conditions. They have showed <br /> that they are ecologically and environmentally sensitive in their approach to their <br /> development project. <br /> <br /> The Kealakekua Development Corporation will open affordable agricultural <br /> parcels in an area suitable to a variety of agricultural endeavors. The golf course and <br /> surrounding 1 acre lots will also provide an economic stimulus for the area. <br /> <br /> For the above reasons, I strongly support Kealakekua Developments <br /> Corporation's project. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Morris Kimura <br /> P.O.
