From: Javna Kaopua <br /> To: WPCtestimonv;Council Remote Testimonv <br /> Subject: Testimony in Opposition of Black Sand Beach LLC <br /> Date: Tuesday, March 5,2024 4:22:44 PM <br /> Aloha, <br /> I am writing to voice my opposition to granting approval for Black Sand Beach LLC's request <br /> for a special management area permit in Ka`u. <br /> The Ka`u Community Development Plan (KCDP), Policy 6, states the following: <br /> "The development of visitor accommodations and any resort development should <br /> complement the character of the area, protect the environment and natural beauty; <br /> respect existing lifestyles, cultural practices, and cultural resources; provide shoreline <br /> public access; and provide affordable housing to meet demand created by the <br /> development." <br /> The current plan of action will violate every aspect of this policy. Additionally, there are major safety and <br /> environmental issues that have yet to be resolved in Punalu`u. Therefore, I demand a new Environmental <br /> Impact Study be done to protect this area from unnecessary development. <br /> The people of Ka`u have spoken and continue to voice their opposition to protect their home, land, and <br /> wildlife. I respectfully urge you to deny business with Black Sand Beach LLC. <br /> I appreciate your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jayna Kaopua <br />
