April 19, 2004 <br /> RE: LEHUA LANI LLC <br /> Puapua'a 2"d ,North Kona, HawaPi <br /> TMK: (3) 7-5-20: 71 ~ 72 <br /> 7 <br /> Special Management Area Use Permff "n <br /> and <br /> County Rezoning (A-5a TO RS-7.5) <br /> T' <br /> <br /> Dear County Council Committee on Planning and Chairman Elarionott, <br /> _r_ <br /> <br /> Please be res onstble. Do not a <br /> p pprove this project for the following reasons: <br /> 1) MORE DEVELOPMENT ON ALIT 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 addffional 116 can (2 cars per household) and an addffional 693 <br /> Mps (116 cars ~ 6 trips per day) along AIB Drive. More development always means more <br /> cars and more cars on AIB Drive means that pedesMans and bicyclists are at a greater risk <br /> of being killed. We had a recent pedesMan death this year and several pedestrian deaths <br /> over the last several years on AIB Drive all because ~ vehicles. Enough already! <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 attended the <br /> hearing that they had already approved several supersized condominium projects along <br /> Alll Drive which sprung up soon after. Traffic from these projects continues to heavily <br /> impact both Lunapule and Royal Poinciana today. Both old roads were not buiff to hondle <br /> the 5000 plus vpd that travel them. Lunapule doesn't even have shoulders for pedestrians <br /> and residents on both roads have a dffflcuff time exffing from their driveways due to the <br /> increased traffic. Allowing more development along Alii Drive pours even more traffic 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 Nan( Kona Aina then you must do the same for Lehua Lani. It is the <br /> responsible thing to do at this time. <br /> Sincerely, A I <br /> LUG~n0. ~~s~~,r~e«,1~ ~~'db0'-~ <br /> Sig ature Print Name Dale <br /> '~tQ-(o1~3 Le~,ua. Rd.
