<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> March 20, 1998 <br /> <br /> <br /> t <br /> <br /> C -i <br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Re: Kealakekua Development Corporation <br /> Kealakekua Ranch Lands <br /> Change of Zone No. (REZ 798) Ordinance No. 95-70 <br /> <br /> Dear Chairman Arakaki: <br /> <br /> My Name is Kent Nakashima and I am speaking in favor of the application submitted by <br /> Kealakekua Development Corporation for their change of zone extension. <br /> I have attended several infonnational meetings regarding the above captioned project and <br /> have found their presentations to be very well conceived. It is pleasing to learn that they will be <br /> developing only a small portion of the land which they control while at the same time, they will <br /> be preserving or managing the larger forest area which in turn will retain the natural environment <br /> of the vicinity. Elsewhere, most large land owners are harvesting exotic woods and clearing <br /> huge areas for cattle grazing which perhaps may give them a better tax position. They have <br /> mentioned that they will be involved with Integrated Pest Management which will lower the use <br /> of toxic chemicals on the Island. This system is nature-friendly and will be an added plus for the <br /> project. <br /> <br /> The "Target" area concept of the fairway design will be an interesting approach in <br /> developing the golf course. This system has been extensively used in the Southwest to preserve <br /> the natural resources of the area. By using this system, the developer will not only preserve the <br /> natural surroundings but it will also improve one's game by stressing more accuracy. <br /> <br /> Again, I support Kealakekua Development Corporation's project and hope you consider <br /> their Change of Zone extension . <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> 44,/ 1-Z~ <br /> Kent Nakashima <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> QQMW No. IR 22, /o <br /> l% 1j.,__7_ t4 6 KN <br /> 3W Tot Presented pc <br /> <br /> oaf.
