Subject: Resolution 60 -11
Mr. Chair and Members of the Committee on Planning:
Aloha, my name is Lee McIntosh. I live in Discovery Harbour in Kau. I am not in favor of
Resolution 60 -11, which temporarily delays Council action on general plan amendments and
rezoning applications in the district of Kau. This resolution will hinder the Kahuku
Village project because they need to seek a general plan amendment as they continue
through the process to develop their property. This is a costly and time consuming
process that will negatively impact the
project if they are forced to wait until Resolution 60 -11 expires.
The community and developer should be allowed to continue the process to decide the
outcome of this project.
Another concern that I have is that Resolution 60 -11 will hurt businesses and individuals
in Kau that are seeking rezoning applications. In the past six months we have had two
rezoning requests, bills 4 and 5, which both passed unanimously with Councilwoman Smart's
support. These two applications would have had
to wait a year or more if this resolution had already been in place.
This is not about undermining the CDP process. The CDP will complement the current
process, not replace it. I encourage the Council to please vote against this resolution.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify on Resolution 60 -11.
Lee McIntosh
