Subject: Comments on Proposed Resolution 257-15, Draft 2 - Hawaii County General Plan
Aloha
I strongly Support the revision to the following:
Exhibit C, Economic Development: General Zoning and Land Use, Zoning # 4
WELLNESS CENTERS ON AG LAND: To the extent permitted under state law, allow wellness centers and
retreats in agriculturally zoned lands. Wellness centers would include fitness center programs, provided no new
structures are required and the space used for the fitness program is less than 3000 square feet.
Five Mountain Fitness is one of the only gyms serving the Waimea, Honokaa and Waikoloa and other nearby
areas. I use the great facilities at the gym at least 2-3 times/week. Other members also expressed the real need
and appreciate the close proximity of the gym. Many members have gone onto State and National competitions,
well representing Hawaii Island and the local areas. In addition, it is my understanding that training at the gym
has immensely helped many of the youth at Parker School, not only physically and emotionally, but in many
other aspects of their lives. In addition, fitness and health centers have no environmental or health impacts on
the area.
It is requested that the above revision be included in the revised Hawaii County General Plan.
