Subject: We oppose the Kaupulehu Land LLC applications
(PL-SLU-2022-000008) & (PL-REZ-2022-000039)
Aloha,
We are writing to show our opposition to the application by Kaupulehu Land LLC to convert a
5-acre agricultural parcel, TMK (3) 6-4-024:027, into a Commercial and Residential
development.
First, what are the plans for current improvements to the existing infrastructure to
accommodate this unnecessary 3 building commercial development?The current location is
already congested, especially during peak traffic times; thus, this development should not even
be considered without first improving the public roads and infrastructure. The potential dangers
to motorists, pedestrians, bus routes for children, and cyclists are numerous and should be
addressed before a new development is approved.
Next, apart from a few long-standing commercial properties, most neighboring properties are
agricultural and residential homeowners. They, along with ourselves, are dedicated to
maintaining and preserving the beauty of Waimea. This community has a long standing history
built on ranching and farming. Generations of families still depend on farming and ranching as
ALL or part of their livelihood. We need to maintain as much agricultural land as possible to
allow for the families and community to maintain their living. Along with the traditions, values,
and morals that make our community so strong.
Unfortunately, many of the values that this town was built on seem to be fading away. Waimea
has become one of the most attractive and highly desired real estate locations, has been driven
by money and those who have it. A town that many long time families can no longer afford to
live because of developments such as this which only profit the wealthy. Before you consider
approving this development, I humbly ask that you consider the future generations of this town,
and if this will benefit their future, or simply the bank account of Kaupulehu Land LLC.
We appreciate your time in reading this written testimony and ask that you vote NO and not
approve this application.
Sincerely,
AIML
Nicholas L. Camp Ji ' Jean U.K. C mp
