From: Christy R <br /> To: WPCtestimonv;councilremotetestimonvCalhawaii.aov <br /> Subject: Testimony regarding Development at Punalu"u <br /> Date: Monday,March 4,2024 12:24:21 PM <br /> Aloha, <br /> I oppose the development at Puanlu'u black sand beach on the island of Hawai'i <br /> Punalu'u is a special place, a place that has been left alone for many years. A place where the <br /> family gathers for generations and beyond, where fisherman gather fish. Where my <br /> grandfather passed down his knowledge and left footprints in the sand for us to follow. I beg <br /> you to reconsider the development at Punalu'u black sand beach. Punalu'u is sacred. <br /> - Burial sites, iwi kupuna? Is there a treatment plan? SMA has none! <br /> -updated shoreline access? <br /> - Honu conservation? ends at waipuhi <br /> -look further into the development with the people of Ka'u planned by Eva Liu <br /> - is there a disaster plan?which should include flooding due to rain; if you are at Punalu'u and <br /> flooding does happen, we will be trapped, what mitigation plan? Tsunami threat? Volcanic <br /> eruption, active cinder cone on south side of Mauna Loa <br /> - depletion of water? from mauka to makai. Puanalu'u is diving springs. Our aquifers will be in <br /> harm's way. <br /> -property tax increase for the locals of Ka'u <br /> I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PLANNING NOR DEVELOPMENT OF PUNALU'U <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Christy Requelman <br />
