From: Babette Morrow <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Punalu"u SMA <br /> Date: Thursday,May 2,2024 4:22:12 PM <br /> Aloha Members of the Planning Commission, <br /> I hope that you will consider all of the community input that was gathered during the seven years of <br /> meetings for the Ka'u Community Development Plan. Hundreds of Ka'u residents attended the many <br /> Steering Committee meetings to give their input on the future of our area. <br /> Page 97 of the Ka'u CDP states "A large number of CDP objectives and strategies intersect at Punalu'u, <br /> which has a rich ecological, historical, and cultural legacy and is dear to the hearts of most residents <br /> to this day. This section includes references to each of the the policies, actions, advocacy initiatives, <br /> and community-based, collaborative actions that pertain to Punalu'u. Community Action 27 outlines a <br /> community driven, collaborative process for planning the future of Punalu'u." <br /> It is my hope that the Planning Commission can take into account all of the land use policies and <br /> county actions found in the CDP during their consideration of the SMA. Of particular benefit would be <br /> the formation of a collaborative process to bring all the community factions together to help plan for <br /> the future of this site. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Babette Morrow <br /> Na'alehu, Hawaii <br />
