From: Jeffrey Mermel <br /> To: WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: In OPPOSITION to rezoning request by WILLIAM C. MORRIS/PL-REZ-2025-000083 <br /> Date: Monday,September 1,2025 11:11:23 PM <br /> To the gentle people at the Windward Planning Commission: <br /> Re: Opposition to Rezoning Request to CV-20 (Commercial, <br /> Village— 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) <br /> PL-REZ-2025-000083 <br /> Applicant: William Cox Morris <br /> TMK: (3) 1-9-005:006 (portion) <br /> • The location of this lot is outside of the intended <br /> commercial zone as designated in the Puna <br /> Community Development Plan (PCDP) and the <br /> Volcano Community Development Plan <br /> (VCDP)2015. <br /> • If this rezone to CV-20 is allowed to go forward, <br /> that will set a precedent for the neighboring lot <br /> owners to apply for Commercial rezoning. This <br /> type of development would bring pin-to-pin <br /> clearing of the native ohi'a forest and large areas <br /> of paving for parking lots on the Old Volcano <br /> Highway frontage. <br /> • Thus I respectfully request that the lot rezone <br /> request be denied. <br /> Mahalo for your kind consideration. <br /> Jeffrey Mermel <br /> President Emeritus <br /> Volcano Community Association <br />
