Aloha,
Please find attached (and below) letter from long-time Waimea resident, in opposition to the following proposals:
KAUPULEHU LAND LLC PL-SLU-2022-000008 AND PL-REZ-2022-000039
Sincerely,
Jason and Shannon Shively
County of Hawaii

RE: OPPOSE KAUPULEHU LAND LLC PL-SLU-2022-000008 AND PL-REZ-2022-000039
To Thom It May Concern,
My name is Shannon Shively and I live in Kamuela, HI and I OPPOSE all applications submitted by Kaupulehu
Land LLC.
I do not believe we need, nor do I want more commercial space in this small country-town of Waimea,
especially at the entry to town where the traffic risks are detrimental. In addition, I don't support turning
agricultural land into commercial and/or residential lots. There has been a frequent recurrence of agricultural
land being subjugated to real estate developers lately, and this will only promote additional loss of such land no
longer being used for it's original intended purpose. With the recent advent of green energy, the question that
comes to my mind is how is turning well-preserved and un-populated agricultural land into pollutive commercial
lots with huge parking lots as well as smaller residential lots that will only increase traffic and car pollution in
the area, helping the pristine environment that the Big Island has had to offer?
We choose to reside in Waimea and have for many, many decades because we desire the small-town
residential feel that Waimea has to offer. Turning agricultural land into commerical and smaller residential lots
will only increase the population of this town, making this small town with limited infrastructure and space, even
more congested with pollution, and traffic.
I am asking the planning committee to reject these applications.
Sincerely,
Jason and Shannon Shively
