KONG- KOIIALA I
CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
February 18, 1999
TO THE HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
FROM THE KONA- KOI -IALA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Re. Bill 250, draft 9 and draft 4, HAWAII COUNTY ZONING CODE
Amendments to Chapter 25 of the Hawaii County Code
The Kona- Kohala Chamber of Commerce supports the passage of the amendments noted
above. Timely approval and validation of the existing zoning code is critical to the
economic health and stability of our island. We cannot afford the burden of delays,
uncertainty and disruption in our government structure.
We understand that there has been no objection during the previous two years of its
existence, to the code that has been in effect with the amendments It seems that if there
were major revisions needed it would have come up prior to the judge's recent ruling.
We regret that a process was not followed, according to ajudge, but we encourage you to
take the action of a responsible government body and pass the zoning code that is now in
existence It can be amended later if any provision is found to be inappropriate.
Mahalo for this opportunity to testify.
