Re: Kealakekua Development Corporation
Kealakekua Ranch Lands
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 95-70 (REZ 798)
Dear Chairman Arakaki:
My name is Marge Mulhall. I have lived and worked in Kailua-Kona since 1961. I have seen
many, many changes-some for good and some that weren't.
This project planned by Kealakekua Development Corporation (KDC) requesting and extension
for their change of zone, will be a marvelous improvement for Mauka Kona. Reforestation has
already started with the cultivating of native trees by South Kona school children.
The large area reserved for local farmers with ample water for both the homes and the farming is
a major improvement over many other developments in the last thirty years. Besides the
individual farms, there will be areas organized for native research and experimentation to expand
the variety of crops that can be successfully grown in Kona. This well-planned use of mauka
lands, currently denuded by over grazing, will encourage our young people to stay in Kona and
prosper while enjoying the many advantages of living in Paradise.
Besides many acres of agriculture, they are also planning a golf course in the cool of mauka. The
homes around it will enjoy the green beauty and use of the club house and pool. These facilities
will also be available to Kona residents.
All of these improvements will beautify the hillside, increase local farming opportunities and
crops, and create a prosperous mauka community.
This is a win-win situation which I sincerely request that you approve. This development will
benefit everyone in Kona and the Big Island.
