<br /> April 19, 2004 <br /> RE: LEHUA LANI LLC <br /> Puapua'a 2'b ,North Kona, Hawaii <br /> TMK: (3) 7-5-20: 71 ft 72 <br /> ~7 <br /> Special Management Area Use Permff C T; <br /> and _ <br /> County Rezoning (A-5a TO RS-7.5) <br /> Dear County Council Commfftee on Planning and Chairman Etarionoff, <br /> Please do not approve 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 KILIED. <br /> 58 more homes mean an addlHonal 116 cars (2 cars per household) and'I an additional 693 <br /> Mps (116 cars ~ 6 trips per day) along AIR Drive. More devebpment alw~ys means more <br /> cars and more cars on AIR Drive means that pedesMans and bicyclists a fe at a greater risk <br /> of being killed. We already had a recent pedesMan death this year and several <br /> pedeshian deaths over the last several years on Alii Drive all caused by Wehicles. Enough <br /> 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 routs 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 condominiul`n projects along <br /> Alii Drive which sprung up soon after. Traffic from these projects continu@s to heavily <br /> impact both Lunapule and Royal Poinciana today. Both old roads were shot buiff to handle <br /> the 5000 plus vpd that hovel them. Lunapule dcesn'i even have shouldelrs for pedeshfans <br /> and residents on both roads have a difflcuff time exffing from their ddvev~ays due to the <br /> increased hafRc. Allowing more development abng Alii Ddve means further abuse for <br /> Lunapule and Royal Poinciana. Please do the responsible thing and stop the abuse now! <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 fo vote <br /> against approving Nanl Kona Aina then you must do the same for Lehua'Lani. It is the <br /> responsible thing to do at this time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> l <br /> .,e.n I. ~~v~ t ~ ouch-~~ ~Iq~ <br /> Signature Print Name Date <br /> Address <br /> <br />
