f A4 +Please forward this to the planning commission. Due to health reasons I will not be able to present this
Y,•r 7f:idea in person at your upcoming speak out events.
This may be an unpopular idea but the world's changing climate seems to be altering the global-Weller
patterns for the worse. Hawaii, isolated as it is, is no exception. Our storm rate will rise. When you
combine this with our island's volcanic nature and our history of tsunamis the area on the ocean side of
Ali'i Drive is, and will become, more of a liability for the island. With the idea of remaking this area into a
public park from Kahulu'u Beach into Kona I would suggest the County plan to condemn this area and
apply restrictions to achieve this end. It does not have to be a quickly implemented plan and would be
less a burden on the County if it was done over a 25 year period.
I will list a few of the ways this could be done:
1. Stop issuing building and remodeling permits, now.
2. buyouts (offer)
3. except bequeath properties and offer tax incentives
4. property swap (offer)
As properties slowly become available the County can remove the structures and restore the beach area
for public access. This will result in a vast improvement in the Kailua/Kona area tourist attraction and the
ongoing struggle of the local people for beach access.
Thank you and aloha
