April 19, 2004 <br /> RE: LEHUA LANI LLC <br /> Puapua'a 2^tl ,North Kona, Hawaii <br /> TMK: (3) 7-5-20: 71 ~ 72 <br /> O r. <br /> Special Management Area Use Permff <br /> and = r' <br /> County Rezoning (A-5o TO RS-7.5) <br /> cY~ <br /> Dear County Council Commfftee on Planning and Chairman Elarlonoff, - <br /> 0 <br /> <br /> Please be responsible. Do not approve this project for the following reasons: <br /> 1) MORE DEVELOPMENT ON ALII DRIVE MEANS MORE CARS AND MORE CARS MEANS THAT <br /> PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS WILL BE AT A GREATER RISK OF BEING KILLED. <br /> 58 more homes mean an oddfHonal 116 cars (2 cars per household) and an additional 693 <br /> trips (116 can ~ b Mps per day) along AIB Dfire. More development always means more <br /> can and more can on ABi Drive means that pedesMans and bicyclists are at a greater risk <br /> of being killed. We had a recent pedestrian death this year and several pedesfrian deaths <br /> over the last several yeah on Altf Drive all because of vehicles. Enough afready! <br /> 2) LUNAPULE ROAD AND ROYAL POINCIANA DRIVE ARE ALREADY OVERBURDENED WITH <br /> TRAFFIC. <br /> When the council voted to close off a very important mauka makai route through Kahakai <br /> Estates back in December 1998 they failed to inform the 100 people who aHended the <br /> hearing that they had already approved several supersized condominium protects along <br /> Alii Drive which sprung up soon after. Traffic from these projects continues to heavily <br /> impact both Lunapule and Royai Poinciana today. Both old roads were not buiff to handle <br /> the 5000 plus vpd that travel them. Lunapule doesn't even have shoulders for pedesMans <br /> and residents on both roads have a difflcuff time extffng from their driveways due to the <br /> increased Taffc. Allowing more development along Alii Drive pours even more frafflc onto <br /> Lunapule and Royal Poinciana. Be responsible. Do not approve this project. <br /> 3) THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS CREATED BY THIS PROJECT ARE MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN THE ONES <br /> CREATED BY THE NANI KONA AINA PROJECT. This means that ff you are going to vote <br /> against approving Nani Kona Aina then you must do the same for Lehua Lani. It is the <br /> responsible thing to do at this time. <br /> S~in/cerelyJJ, <br /> /7Gtiu~~'l~i i~~~ ~Gaw~ka~ ~.oc,~~ ~-(~r-2on <br /> Signature Print Name Date <br /> rya Rw~l i~o~~c?arw K- Kcm~ ~ie~l4-o <br /> Address <br /> Comm.
