Subject: Support temporary moratorium for Ka'u
Aloha, Council members:
tiom i. 25C ( 2(✓s.giq _ 't)
Having been involved in the Kona Community Development Plan process since its inception, I am well
aware of the hurdles and opportunities which the people of Ka'u currently face in creating their own land use
plan.
I support Res.60 -11 which would give "breathing room" to the community by allowing for a temporary
moratorium on development zoning changes for Ka'u until their CDP is completed or in 18 months,
whichever comes first. This type of pause in development permitting is necessary and will not be deleterious
to the region economically, despite the expected outcry of "anything goes" development advocates.
Permitting for development projects on this island is far ahead of building those developments, and BUILD -
OUT SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE NEW PERMITTING OCCURS — at all times and in all cases.
Please help the communities of Ka'u prepare for a brighter future through Smart planning and balanced
growth.
Mahalo for your consideration of my views.
Sincerely,
Janice Palma - Glennie
