From: nawahine kahoopii <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: opposition to this development <br /> Date: Tuesday,June 18,2024 3:02:34 PM <br /> Aloha Commissioners, <br /> My name is Ana Nawahine Kaho'opi'i. I am a <br /> Waimea resident submitting testimony for <br /> myself and my ohana. <br /> We strongly oppose this development and have listed our specific objections below. <br /> 1) This is a clear example of spot zoning, urban <br /> encroachment, and overdevelopment that will <br /> adversely impact Waimea's rural community. <br /> There is already an excess supply of vacant <br /> commercial spaces in Waimea. <br /> 2)Rezoning prime agricultural lands(A-5a)to <br /> commercial and residential does not comply with the <br /> Hawaii County General Plan. <br /> 4) This development is an example of property <br /> speculation that will increase the property taxes <br /> of Waimea residents. <br /> 5) This proposed development would cause <br /> further traffic congestion in this area. <br /> 6) This project doesn't conform to the Waimea <br /> Town policies of the South Kohala Community <br /> Development Plan, which stipulates the <br /> preservation of Waimea's sense of place, <br /> responsible growth, environmental stewardship, <br /> and affordable housing development. <br /> Mahalo nui, <br /> Kaho'opi'i-Nawahine Ohana <br />
