<br />From:Tia Keliihoomalu <br />To:WPCtestimony <br />Subject:Testimony: Chapters 91-92 Section 6-7.5(a) <br />Date:Thursday, October 3, 2024 11:01:25 AM <br />Aloha. <br />My name is Tiara Keli'iho'omalu and I am writing on behalf of my entire <br />Keli'iho'omalu 'ohana, of Kaimu, Kalapana, due to the timely matter of <br />finding out of this meeting only yesterday. <br />This is a testimony against todays (October 3rd) agenda item at 11am <br />within Chapters 91-92 sections 6-7.5(a) for applicant KAIMU COVE, LLC <br />(PL-SMA-2024-000063). <br />I do NOT support KAIMU COVE, LLCs application for a Special <br />Management Area Use Permit to create a 5-lot subdivision for future <br />residential development and related improvements all within a 3.677 acre <br />parcel in the Special Management Area (TMK 3-1-2-018:001). <br />I do NOT support and I am extremely against this <br />subdivision residential development which has a gate and blocks beach <br />access to where my ohana would access for subsistence fishing and <br />gathering. <br />This business does not understand the true peaceful lifestyle of Kalapana. <br />My 'Ohana have lived in the area for many many years. I am a descendant <br />of Robert P. Keli'i'ho'omalu. By allowing a subdivision such as described in <br />this proposal will not be acceptable. We are a fishing and agricultural <br />community. This subdivision will stop us from going to the ocean to <br />practice our rights as natives of the area. Also, the subdivision will <br />disturb the final resting place of our kupuna (sacred burial grounds). <br />Something like this can not be allowed to happen! Please think of the <br />natives of the area first. <br />Mahalo. <br />
