That you oppose the proposed rezoning of 14.5 acres adjacent to the Kona Heights <br /> subdivision (SLU 03-007/REZ 03-018 TMK 7-5-19:30). <br /> 2. That you conduct the County Council hearing on this matter in Kona. <br /> In their November 7th meeting, the Planning Commission voted a ag inst Applicant Nani Kona <br /> <br /> Aina's requested rezoning of 14.5 acres of land from Agricultural (A-5a) to Urban (RS-10). <br /> This was item #4 on their agenda, reference SLU 03-007/REZ 03-018. The commission voted <br /> 5-2 to deny the requested rezoning. I understand that the proposed rezoning will now be <br /> presented to the County Council. <br /> There are currently 400-500 homes in the "Kailua-View Estates" area, mauka of Kona town. <br /> <br /> This area has only one access road, Nani Kailua. There have already been approvals for <br /> numerous adjacent areas to allow the addition of 75-100 homes which will also utilize the <br /> single access road, Nani Kailua. This new request would add an additional 43 homes. Since <br /> <br /> each requested rezoning has been under the 100 lot threshold, no impact studies have been <br /> required. <br /> In addition, the developer's proposed lot map would put 43 homes close to (or in) a flood plain, <br /> all relying on one access road to the existing Nani Kailua road. This raises concerns about the <br /> potential for ground water contamination from sewage tanks/cesspools and issues with <br /> emergency access. <br /> I have talked with many of my neighbors. They are all opposed to this specific rezoning. <br /> Everyone has also expressed concern about the continued "incremental rezoning" <br /> <br /> development in our area. It does not seem to be "within the spirit of the law" for developers to <br /> continue rezoning small developments and thereby avoiding any impact studies and related <br /> infrastructure costs. We think this should stop. <br /> Please conduct the County Council hearing on this matter in Kona so the affected residents <br /> can attend the meeting. In addition, I strongly urge that you oppose this rezoning. No further <br /> development should be approved in the "Kailua View Estates' area until studies are completed <br /> and solutions developed for all infrastructure impact. Comm. No. y__~ <br /> Ref.
