Adding high-volume commercial all-day traffic into this <br /> area will cause intolerable hazciships to all businesses, families, and tourists in the Kuna <br /> area. On the other hand, an affordable housing project would result in: 1) relatively low- <br /> volume traffic, 2) a significant reduction the number of commuter miles being driven in <br /> Kona, and 3) a decrease is traffic. <br /> Today, the Kailua-Kona community is a community in crisis. This crisis exists solely <br /> because the County govemmeut has subsidized favored business interests to privatize <br /> profits, while spreading their investment risk onto the taxpayers of this County. Further, <br /> the affordable housing element. of all rezonings approved by the County Council over the <br /> past five years has been a fraud perpetrated on the taxpayers of this County. No <br /> affordable housing has been built. <br /> If the County Council is truly interested in meeting the needs of this community, then it <br /> will vote against Bill 178. If the applicant and the County Council are truly interested in <br /> meeting the needs of this commmunity, then they will work to draft a new Bill that <br /> proposes an affordable housing; project at O'oma that meets HUD guidelines and <br /> provides for the continuation of public access to the O'oma shoreline area. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Chazles Flaherty <br /> P O Box 922 <br /> Captain Cook HI 96704 <br /> <br />
