From: Katrina Ortiz-Chavez <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Punalu'u Developtment <br /> Date: Monday,March 4,2024 12:47:01 PM <br /> I DO NOT support the proposed development of our sacred Punalu'u! My family was raised <br /> fishing and camping here and now I'm raising my own children with the same culture. Where <br /> are we to go if our land is taken by foreign developers with only money on their mind?? <br /> `A'ole to this development!! <br /> 1. An Enviornmental Impact Study needs to happen. <br /> 2. This proposal has huge negative implications for an environmentally sensitive <br /> area - Hawksbill Turtle habitat. <br /> 3. There is no infrastructure to support an influx of people and traffic, -- water, <br /> waste, roads. <br /> 4. Why allow the destruction of a pristine and sacred land for the benefit of <br /> developers. <br /> 5.This development, so near the coast, within 200' feet of the high water mark, <br /> puts people and facilities in danger from tsunami and flooding. <br /> 6. Please consider the impact on the land and community, supporting the people <br /> and community who elected you to serve and protect. <br /> 7. This project adds nothing to the quality of life for the land and people. <br /> 8. All meetings considering this proposal should be held on Saturdays so all <br /> working people can have a voice. <br /> 9. Do your job of taking care of the people and environment at Punalu'u and <br /> disallow this project. <br /> I do not support this development at Punalu'u. <br /> Aloha, <br /> Katrina Ortiz-Chavez, Volcano <br />
