Hawaiian-Pipeline.com, USA
"Hawaiian-Pipeline.com OPPOSES MAJOR DEVELOPMENT on the North Shore of Oahu. The infrastructure is not in place to support additional hotels and condos, meaning the North Shore would be paved over for traffic, parking, and additional development to support the masses. The North Shore Country Culture would be lost; the development would be the beginning of a North Waikiki."

"Remember the beauty of Australia. These hotels will destroy the gorgeous lands forever. Would you be happy with that? Would it be a nice planet to travel? Think of being a better person. Love, Pascale."

Tomo Fujimatsu, King of Prussia, PA
"As much as I enjoyed my accomodations when I got married on the North Shore, I would have been just as happy in a hut on the beach because Hawaii is the destination, not the hotel/resort. Please recognize this for future generations to enjoy Hawaii as much as I do."

Michelle Fujimatsu, Philadelphia, PA
"I chose to get married at Turtle Bay Resort earlier this year when I read about it's location and felt it would really be True Hawaii. Isn't that what you advertise? I would like to be able to come back for my anniversary and be able to experience it the same way it was while I was there. Please don't ruin the beautiful thing you have because once it's gone you're not getting it back."

Cheryl Lauer, York, PA
"Don't destroy the natural, pristine beauty that you are lucky enough to have. When we came to Hawaii in Oct. we chose to stay at Turtle Bay Resort because it was the only resort/hotel around. We didn't want to stay somewhere built up, like Waikki, for example. Keep the North Shore Country!"

Kim Weeks, Aiea, Hawaii
"Please preserve these beautiful beaches and the 'hometown atmosphere' of the North Shore"

"I would like to be a part of the preservation of the North Shore...please keep it's natural beauty. Once you made a little bit change about it, it will never be the same again. I will spread this word to all of my friends and for sure we will ever support this cause! We love North Shore! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ6HH6rcMUc"

Rachael C, Concord, CA
"Keep North Shore beautiful! It has forever left an impression on me and is a place where even people from across the ocean can feel at home. By allowing the addition of multiple hotels it will devastate the local environment and vibe. It's already enough that hundreds of thousands of tourists visit yearly- don't let it turn into Waikiki!!!!"

Lorett Corona, Newport beach
"Would love to be a part of this! My daughter and I both surf and love the North shore!!"

We have bad traffic now and I can only imagine how the future would be if this was to happen. Listen to your people, the ones who voted for you. Hear their voices and the voices of our ancestors. Hear them cry out to you to please stop the expansion. It should be the peoples choice and we choose"

"I heard about this from a friend. I hope that this new development does not occur and that the North Shore can remain "country." I believe that it is a great benefit to keep some land on Oahu undeveloped in order to preserve some more natural aspects of the island. Also, remember that once begun, development will sprawl. And you can only go as far as the water. It is not like on continental land where you can build back from the ocean and sprawl to seemingly unlimited land, you will eventually come to the other side of the island."

"The north shore must be protected. I'm not sure that expansion plan of Turtle Bay Resort is a good idea for turists. If they are at the same place, will they have the unique experience ? And of course, with too many tourists, that will bring environmental issues. wIlliam Hill"

"Please resist the lure of new tax dollars, jobs,etc. that will occur due to this excessive development. Your residents don't deserve to have their peace and enjoyment spoiled due to short-sighted and speculative land development. I am fighting the same problem on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. When economic times are difficult will there really be many visitors to fill these buildings?"

Araceli, Berkely, CA

"Please keep Kahuku Country !! I make my annual pilgrimage to Turtle Bay at the beginning of every year to get myself centered in an otherwise crasy-ass world- It is SACRED ground & must be maintained as such instead of exploited for the sake of more tourist dollars. I come to Kahuku for the feeling found in the area & within the wonderful people who reside there and have become my ohana. To further develop the area for the tourist $$$ would be a tragedy of momentous proportions as the beauty of the land, wildlife,and people are priceless."

"I've been to the North Shore of O'ahu and it is THE most amazing place I've been. Ever. I can't imagine someone destroying the landscape to put more cash in the pockets of a few suits. For those people that like the resorts and modern structures, let them go to Waikiki. If the North Shore is robbed of it's intrinsic qualities, then the entire island's variety and appeal suffers. That means potentially an entire segment of tourism may stop. If whomever is reading this has the power to stop the destruction of one of the most beautiful places on earth, please consider acting on that power. Thank you for reading."

Lindsey Reichle, Haleiwa, Hawaii

Elena Kulikova, Kahuku, HI
"Please consider the natural beauty of the land and not your money pockets. Your creation of hotels would destroy the divine lands and would never be the same. Would you sleep well at night thinking of what you have done? Would you be proud of it? Think of being a better human. Love and Peace, Elena Kulikova"

"In life there are only a few things that have not been destroyed by man. Hawaii is an amazon place to see, but every day it looks less and less like a island inhabited by it's own beautiful, and more like any other over developed place. why would anyone allowe someone to take away the few things in life that should stay as they are."

Blair Wachob, Las Vegas, NV
"Mayor, Please do what it takes to prevent the development of the north shore. Oahu already has one waikiki, please preserve this special place. I proposed to my wife in this beautiful part of the island and cannot imagine going back there and seeing a commercial site where was once pure God's country. Keep the County Country. Mahalo -Blair Wachob"

Brett Person, St. Louis, MO
"SMART, slow, balanced and intelligent development is what the North Shore needs. Five hotels and 1000 condominium units is intrusive, haphazard and destructive to the beautful and pristine beaches of the North Shore area. Please be smart and work with the local folks who love this wonderful area!!"

Cherri Gill, Salt Lake City,Utah
"Please do not spoil the beauty of this area. We have spent many quiet family vacations at Turtle Bay,and hope to spend many more."

Chrysline Cattaneo, Nicosia, Cyprus
"I hope that this piece of paradise will be preserved. Is the duty of everyone to be conscious that we need to protect some places in this planet. North Shore belong to them. I heard that the hotel is never full and does not need extension. So please, think that other way exist to attract tourists, tourists who care about the country and ecology, tourists who want to meet the locals and discover the fauna and flora of the country (green tourism, tourism where locals are implied, small projects that will less damage the coast)."

Collette Stahl, San Jose, CA
"Save the North Shore from becoming like Waikiki!"

Rob Richardson, Silver Spring, MD
"Please keep the North Shore Country!! There are some places on Earth that need to be preserved, the North Shore is one of these places. I have been surfing the North Shore for 15 years and have seen how the place has changed. I can't imagine how the locals feel!! It will always be the best breaks on Earth but don't ruin that feeling you get as you come out of the pineapple fields and get your first glimpse of perfection."

Katie Gill, Salt Lake City, Utah
"I have been coming to the Islands since I was a little girl. I have been so often that I have lost count, I call them my second home. I always return to the North Shore... I call it my "happy place." I no longer visit Waikiki; to be honest it makes me cry. Please don't allow this to happen to the North Shore, don't lose the beauty that you can never get back. KEEP COUNTRY COUNTRY!"

Jon Wilbur, Salt Lake City, Utah
"I just visited the North Shore for the first time and loved it. It was nice to get out of the city and go someplace peaceful. If this area turns into a crowded resort area...I'll never return."

"To all of the people of Hawaii, this is SUCH A DEVISTATION. This is wildlife here, a place where nature is at its calmest and purest state! PLEASE don't destroy something so beautiful. Me and everyone else who loves North Shore so much are willing to do ANYTHING to save it. Think about all you are destroying, and just do you can build hotelt to make more money? wow."

ann poppie, USA
"You could expand by just building top structures to the existing buildings- build the buildings taller... If you did it this way, you'd get favorable national attention to preserving the environment all the while increasing your space and ability to house more tourists. Your welcome, ann poppie"

Kathy, La Canada, CA
"I've stayed at Turtle Bay before, and it was lovely largely because it was remote. But even so, traffic was awful at certain times, so I'd hate to see it get even worse. Don't let the North Shore become L.A.!!"

Tyler Arnold, Anchorage Alaska
"Don't destroy the remaining beauty we have on this precious earth."

Stephen Marano, Nutley, NJ

"Dear Mayor Hannemann, On behalf of myself and my colleagues who have made annual visits to the North Shore of Oahu since 2000, we urge you to take action against Turtle Bay's agenda and other agendas that would destroy the small town county charm that is only left on the North Shore. Investors and developers seem to not grasp why the north shore holds so much value to Oahu’s visitors. The rest of Oahu is filled with concrete, traffic, and chaos, and many tourists often wonder where the Hawaii they pictured was. Well, it is on the north shore, and it is the last place left on Oahu that has a beautiful, serene, natural “Hawaii” feel. If these plans were to be carried forth, it would invite more traffic and chaos and begin to diminish the allure of the North Shore and of Oahu, for that matter. It already has a delicate balance of nature and tourism, and any more tourism would tip the scales in the wrong direction."

Joseph, Kualoa
"I am not impressed by all state government officials for their nact to create laws for their benefit and interest and not the interest of the communities that have voted them into thier positions. To attract developers and contractors for more tax payers for the continued government manipulation of people and communities. Developers to purchase beach front properties which have national critical endangered species list (green sea turtles,hawaiian monk seal and sea birds) just to name a few on the beach and coast line. Why was the Hawaiian Monk Seal that was born at Turtle Bay Resort kept out of the media, to attract developers and the County and State accepted and approved their proposals. developers "At will" Law is not for the best interest and benefit of the communities, to earn a liveable livestyle. The "At will" benefits benefits commerce private and governement entities. Working class has no benefits of nay kind. These current practice and actions by political officials, of taxing people for a transit system that will utilized by a portion of the community, yet Windward, North Shore and all other counties are taxed. This is another sue job waiting to happen. Super ferry is just another example which the state approved without the proper application of required documents in accordance to state and federal policies, to operate. This is a sue job waiting to happpen for the community to pay for the government officials. How ironic!!!!!"

Jacqueline Conyette, Miami, Florida
"The only memorable part of visiting O'ahu was the North Shore. Please, don't destroy what little natural landscape the island has left."

Nancy Caton, Oakland, CA
"I would hate to see the north shore go the way of Honolulu or Miami (or for that matter parts of southern California) High rises and massive development have no place by the sea. Kauai manages to get tons of tourists, while maintaining a height limit..."

"I had the distinct privilege of living on the North Shore during the summers of 1978 and 1979 while working at Camp Paumalu. I left with a deep, spiritual connection to the land and the ocean -a profound sense of awe for what nature created there. Please protect the land and the people who call the North Shore home and stand up to developers who are eager for profit only. I've seen my neighborhood in Seattle ruined with overdevelopment because no one was vigilant enough to understand what was happening until it was too late. With aloha, S."

Richard Hagstrom, Kailua, Hawaii
"Dear Honorable Mayor Hannemann, We strongly urge you to be a responsible mayor and insist that the Turtle Bay development renew its outdated EIS statement. Sincerely, Richard Hagstrom"

Goran Radovanovic, Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii
"Who better knows about, loves and preserves our community than the locals and members of the community. LISTEN TO US. This special small town character will bring special visitors and preserve the country lifestyle that we (and you) all love, know, enjoy and share. There is a reason why we oppose more out-of-control development of the North Shore that is led and controlled by mainland values. Look at Waikiki. Thank you."

John Kenyon, Minneapolis, MN

Michael Lyster, Rescue, CA
"Hawaii is being overrun by greed. The locals and people with a stake in the heritage and love for the land have spoken. The only people this development benefits is the developers themselves and a few politicians who may line their coffers to ensure their position in the next election."

Bonnie Rose, Mountain View, CA
"In addition to saving North Shore and keeping it country, has anyone thought about global warming and the rise of ocean levels? Money will be wasted on resorts that would soon be covered with high ocean levels and waves - leave the coast as pristine for as along as possible and save the taxpayer's dollars on such a wasted project."

Diane E English, Ithaca,New York
"I love The North Shore, but on every trip I notice how crowded it is getting. There should not be any expansion of the Turtle Bay Resort;you will lose the charm of the area,delicate species of plants and animals, like the monk seals. Someone has to say, NO MORE DEVELOPMENT! People are the problem on Oahu; Wakiki is lovely,but ridiculously crowded.I saw rats and cockroaches on the sidewalk one evening last week there! Please keep the North Shore without MORE DDEVELOPMENT of THE TURTLE BAY area."

Kalei Perreira, Honolulu, HI
"I won't add anything because I've already sent at least 10 different letters each, to 10 different 'representatives' (in single quotes because I feel you guys are representing big business and not the local TAXPAYERS on this issue) in state/city government. I just want to say, with our aina being the indigenous/endemic endangered/extinct plant/animal/insect capital of the WORLD, supporting this project in it's current plan would be the equivalent of natural genocide...NOT TO MENTION THE CULTURAL SITES (THAT MANY still USE TODAY...FISHING AREAS, SHRINES, BURIAL SITES, ETC.)"

Michael Sands, San Francisco, CA
"Please leave the North Shore as it is - pure Hawaii, pure waves, pure soul."

Hannah Zeltzer, Camarillo, CA

"Please do not let this happen. I have seen my 'moku' (hometown) changed so much through the years. I love Kawela. It is a treasure to the Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians. We have bad traffic now and I can only imagine how the future would be if this was to happen. Listen to your people, the ones who voted for you. Hear their voices and the voices of our ancestors. Hear them cry out to you to please stop the expansion. It should be the peoples choice and we choose "A'ole"."

Stephanie Komura, Nutley, NJ
"I understand that if Turtle Bay Resort is expanded, more jobs will be available, however, I think the people of North Shore should vote on whether they want it there or not. The North Shore is the only side of the island that is untouched from many years back. My grandmother and grandfather was born on the beach of the North Shore and to see it being turned into a future "Waikiki" area is appalling. The resort is appealing to tourists because they can get away from the noise, traffic, and congestion, to escape to the quiet, calming, beaches of the North Shore. If you go through with this one expansion, who's to say that the next expansion won't be stopped? Keep the country, country. It's the last Oahu has, that's left the way it was, and the people of the North Shore like it that way."

Christine Hunt, Boston, MA
"The beauty of the north shore is its untouched beauty. Please preserve this natural and distinct habitat for generations to come."

"Bonjour Mayor, We went to Hawaii last year and missed your party: Sunset on the Beach. We are returning this year and will miss your party again. What a shame! Would it be possible to change the Sunset on the Beach date for the weekend of August 17 and 18. Sincerely yours. Gauthier Family."

Geoff Gentry, Burlington, NC
"Keep the scenic nature of the North Shore. Give locals and tourists reasons to come."

Michael Paz, North Miami, Florida
"I was born in Honolulu and return often. As much as I love Waikiki, I think that Hawaii should be more than just hotels, resorts, malls, and tourists. Nature should be preserved."
