KRPL respectfully objects to the proposed redesignation of <br />Parcel 63 from the existing LUPAG of Urban (expansion) to the proposed GPLU of <br />Conservation. Attached for reference is a map depicting Parcel 63 and surrounding properties, <br />and the County information as to Parcel 63 in general. Please consider the following: <br />The Designation Was An Error. Upon receipt of the Notice, KRPL (by Greg Ogin) was <br />placed in contact by Zendo Kern, Director, with April J. Surprenant, AICP, of the office of Long <br />Range Planning & Board of Appeals, Hawaii County Planning Department. It is our <br />understanding from contact with that office that the designation was made in error. Possibly a <br />GIS or mapping mistake that is in the process of being corrected. <br />KRPL is Not a Party to a "Lanihau master plan." The Notice states that the reason for the <br />designation is the "Lanihau master plan." This reason is vague and ambiguous as KRPL has no <br />prior notice of a Lanihau master plan, nor anything that would require the sudden designation of <br />its property. KRPL owns Parcel 63, and its 47 acres of previously designated Urban -expansion <br />that it is comprised of, not any other entity. <br />
