Subject:Draft Letter from KCDP AC
Hello Maryam,
Here is my attempt at draft language for the ACʻs letter to the PD Director:
Dear Director,
Recently the Kona CDP Action Committee agendized Bill 169 seeking to provide Kona Three LLC with a
10-year extension which resulted in a lot of public input and a lengthy discussion among AC
Members. As a result, the Chairman of the Kona CDP Action Committee presented testimony at the
meeting of the County Council to address Bill 169. The Action Committeeʻs position is that several
issues related to the application are inconsistent with the intent of Kona CDP Objectives.
In seeking to be more proactive in the future, the Action Committee turned to HCC Chapter 16 Section
16.6*. As part of our Duties and Responsibilities, we are requesting that the planning department
provide the Kona CDP AC with briefings on pending applications early in the review process so we may
contribute timely, and hopefully useful insights regarding an applicationʻs consistency with Kona CDP
Goals.
We would greatly appreciate your support in organizing these briefings.
Sincerely,
Charles Young, Chairman
*"Section 16.6. Duties and responsibilities of the CDP action committees.
(5) Receive briefings, as requested, from the planning department on pending and approved permit
applications involving property located within the planning area, and on other issues related to the CDP;"
