From: kkatknap <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Proposed Punalu"u Development <br /> Date: Tuesday, March 5,2024 11:43:08 AM <br /> Aloha <br /> I wanted to write and let you know that my family is opposed to the proposed development in <br /> punalu'u as it is currently being presented. I have had many people discuss this with me, all <br /> Ka'u residents, and at this point nobody wants it to happen. This is the first issue I have with it. <br /> Something of this magnitude should not be forced upon a local population against their will. <br /> My second issue is that there is no current Environmental Impact statement. And the impact <br /> would seem, to me, to be potentially very significant. With breeding turtles, rare bird species, <br /> and one of the last remaining natural coastal areas in the state, I would think those responsible <br /> for its protection would want to use a little more caution than this state's government has <br /> historically demonstrated. <br /> I'm also told there is already an issue with water in the area... nothing has been done to address <br /> this. The potential for fire danger would seem to be a cause for concern among residents and <br /> native wildlife. <br /> We are counting on you to do the pono thing for all of us. Protect this precious piece of <br /> unadulterated aina. If you do not, there is no going back. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Kathleen Johnson <br /> Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device <br />
