Re: Resolution #279-98
Dear Chairman Chung:
Please support. Resolution #279-98 to exchange county-owned property for SoBay
Corporation property at Wai'aha Bay. The land exchange could create a win-win situation for
all if the Wai aha Bay area were to become a county park rather than a 21 unit condominium.
In addition to prCservi , the treasured bcach for all of us, the County will avoid potential
liability of millions of dollars when SoBay condo owners discover they own property in a
flood-prone area where mauka waters rush in a torrent through the sewage pumping station
across the street and into their buildu g.
The Wai'aha Bay property is one of the pT ious fec+, sandy beaches used by residents and
tourists near Kailua-Kona The Universt,y of Hawaii ;iotrs that 30% of Maui's beaches have
disappeared or been degraded due to sn. walls and bi,iMings. Rebuilding a sea wall and
constructing a five-story condo buii;lisig will 4u4ck`:7 dc,,strvy the sandy beach at Waiaha Bay.
Thank you for your consideration-
Sincerely,
Sharon and Michael Sekera
