p0 Box 2807 <br /> Iiailua-Kona, H796745 <br /> January 28, 1997 <br /> To all members of Coixnty Council, Conunittee on Planning REC`~~/L:D <br /> re: Bills 371, 372 & 373 Slme.--------i~-- ,f~~y---------- Y.. <br /> Date_-------~U~.~'~ouncill'`0~ PG <br /> I oppose the referenced bills without hesitation. <br /> <br /> Although previous plans are not "legal" plans, (}Alest Hawaii Regional <br /> Plan and the 5 year Boundary Review) they have been carefully <br /> researched and they both rontain reconunendations against resort/urban <br /> expansion into South Rona. These plants recommend that llte rural <br /> character and quality of life in Soutlt Koua should be maintained. <br /> The Cotmt~- General Plvt reconnueuds that regional plans be developed <br /> for the County's various regions. To date, this has not been done, and it <br /> <br /> has now become urgent to begin that process. So the amendment to <br /> allow a "resort node" should not be passed now. The "not legal" plans <br /> should be followed. wtffi the County regional plan Is completed and uo <br /> amendments should be given until such time. <br /> Bcfore a~ variances or amendments are passed, there should be well- <br /> developed Regional plans for both North and South Kona. And the <br /> conununit~° should be part of developing the plan(s), so that the elected <br /> officials will understand what the voters desire and what is good for the <br /> coumumity. <br /> To allow a "resort node" will have enormous impact on the area and the <br /> benefits io the conununit}- are hard to see. This could be precedent <br /> <br /> setting artd is not what the conununity wants. <br /> I respectfully urge you each io oppose these referenced bills both in <br /> Cormnittee and in full Couut~° Council meetings. <br /> Sinccrch, <br /> A-Iarjorie Envay <br /> 324-424 <br /> Mo. 132. oZ <br /> no. p LG <br /> 1r[. ~ ~'asented 5F.
