HARVEY: --is that people are supposed to walk out on the vehicle lanes, I would hope respectfully that they check the facts and consider that and make sure that we're really talking about as-built. VITOUSEK: The commission will disregard this testimony regarding a previous agenda item. HARVEY: Okay, thanks. So, back to this agenda item, I actually have some odd comments and I don't know that they would be—they're in support but they're just comments about the approval, I think. So, this parcel is within, as the picture showed, the KCDP plan Pua'a Wai`aha Village TOD and it's not sure where the half mile diameter core village is to be located, or when it will be generally cited, but it looks like this parcel would be within a half mile of what would be the village core, and if it is that's in the secondary area in density for this TMK should actually be greater than FA-1. And so, it could be more equitable and affordable so, and should accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access to the future village in transit. If the Kakalina Street extension is still planned to run across the Bolton parcel below this and connect Nani Kailua with the Puapuaanui Street, is that still expected to be the location for the TOD village? And by that picture it looks like it is, but I'm not sure where that aspirational thing hits the road as far as talking to these developments because if that's the case this development should actually be higher density. This parcel's adjacent to Hienaloli and the Hualalai junction, and Hienaloli is one of the few natural multi-modal links across the kaluulu zone and should be planned and developed as a greenway for bicycle riding and walking. It could have been connected to the, connected the Konawaena schools to the Kealakehe schools, but no one planned it, and blocking developments are now sprouting up on top of the old Kona sugar railroad route. Threading around these is now necessary and the requirement for the subdivision to provide that roadway segment connector between Hualalai and Pualena Street would really help. I also request that please require reserving a frontage strip along Hualalai on the mauka side to accommodate this parcel, makai side of the roadway, to accommodate a wide pedestrian bicycle shoulder along Hualalai. Note that the recommendation reports states on page 2 that the property directly adjacent to the south is currently undeveloped. Well, if this refers to 7-5-017-022, this is untrue. Even your picture shows that parcel has five buildings on it on the mauka edge, and a big formal entry gate and large stone wall running parallel along Hualalai about 20 feet back from the pavement. So, this parcel also adjoins Hualalai, and Hualalai is a historic trail or road. So, we advocate for preserving its historic integrity. Widening the road for easier vehicle travel would result in faster speeds that's been proven over and over here, lower safety, and destroy its historic integrity as a rural narrow winding road. So therefore,please do not require the owner to 5 EXHIBIT F
