Aloha Kakou,
I just received notification that the Puna CDP will be coming before the County Council's Planning Committee with Angel Pilago as Chairman on July 1 at the County Council Chambers in the Ben Franklin Bldg in Hilo.
Chris Yuen has made amendments to the Puna CDP that I don't agree with but all of you should read the proposed amendments to the Puna CDP and decide for yourself.
At issue is his amendment to lessen the downzoning of Puna, eliminate sewer treatment plants for Puna and continue to allow septic and cesspool systems which would threaten the ground water resources in the future, remove the need for grubbing and grading approval by Hawaiians in favor of the Cultural Resources Commission made up of museum curators, architects and those concerned with preserving historic buildings.
This commission is a political appointment by the mayor and made up of people primarily concerned about preserving old buildings with alphabets after their names.
Attached you will find the link to the recommended amendments and the Puna CDP. Please read and give your mana'o on this as we will need to go before the County Council to give testimony on this issue on July 1.
