Aloha,
These are my bullet points for my testimony opposing the development in Punaluu:
`Major development will forever alter and poison water shed and destroy ancheline ponds at
the shoreline.
`This will cause an increase in property taxes, denying another generation and forcing locals
to move off island.
`They will cut off beach access for locals forever altering a generational way of life.
`This is to become a playground for the rich not the community of Ka'u.
`There are no working fire hydrants so its a potential repeat scenario of the Lahaina fires.
`waste water treatment and wells are outdated and non functioning.
`Nesting areas of the endangered Hawksbill turtles will be disrupted and forever altered.
`Zero infrastructure to support a development of this magnitude.
`Our public servants are NOT serving the local community.
*We want the clouded land titles to be cleared.
*No infrastructure for emergency response, this is a lava zone one and frequent disasters have
happened here, including a major tsunami in 1979.
.....many many more reasons for this to not move forward. I'd like a receipt that this
testimony was received.
Mahalo nui
