<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> March 20, 1998 <br /> <br /> <br /> P <br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Street GUl ; <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 /> County Council <br /> Honorable Chairman James Arakaki: <br /> <br /> My name is Lily Kong. <br /> Bom in Keauhou Kona, this has always been my home. I am writing to you, again, in support of <br /> KDC's project. In the past I have testified on behalf of KDC. <br /> <br /> KDC plans to build drainage improvements exceeding the county's requirements. This will <br /> reduce the volume of run-off from its property. <br /> <br /> I would like to make a point, I think a lot of people have over looked, the Kealakekua Ranch <br /> shopping area. I wonder how many of our people have ever thought of how much water the shopping <br /> center holds and its run-off. We now have another building above that and that holds a lot of water too. <br /> I just thought that I would like to pin point some areas to look at and not just blame KDC's project. <br /> I see our people in the State of Hawaii today have the Western Way, they are like LEECHES. <br /> They pray on what others have. I don't see why the County and State didn't have a Master Plan done for <br /> all the Islands a long time ago. Then people would know ahead of time how one should do its planning. <br /> <br /> I sympathize with land owners who develop their property today. I myself have problems with <br /> the new building code. <br /> Anyway, with so many people out of work, KDC's project when completed would elevate some <br /> family's hardships and make a dream come true. <br /> <br /> I know KDC has done reforestation with our students at Konawaena High School. I have not <br /> heard of any other developer doing the same. <br /> <br /> I hope and pray that you grant KDC their extension for the change of zone. <br /> <br /> I thank you for your time and attention. <br /> <br /> <br /> ~N.
