Hawaii County Council <br /> Committee on Planning <br /> Bills 29, 30, 31, and 32 <br /> Public Hearing <br /> April 12, 2005 <br /> Name: Danielle J. Schroettner <br /> Kuakini Makai resident <br /> I am against bills 29, 30, 31 and 32 because: <br /> 1. This comes right after recent decisions by the County Council and the Mayor to defer any <br /> new developments in West Hawaii until the proper infrastructure is in place. What <br /> happened to the General Plan? Are we just switching areas to please developers'? <br /> 2. The dollars to be contributed by the developers for parks and recreation, police, fire etc. <br /> in the West Hawaii article do not specify if this is a one time contribution or annually. <br /> How do these fees compare to the actual increases in costs? Where will the funding <br /> come from on an on-going basis for those services? <br /> 3. What are the plans For water service expansion in this area? We are now asked to <br /> conserve water because of drought conditions. <br /> 4. How will this new development, both residential and commercial impact our existing <br /> sewer system and capacity? <br /> 5. The West Hawaii Today article states that the developers claim this project will alleviate <br /> the traffic problems. It is ludicrous to think that the new residents are already crowding <br /> our streets and will now stay in the complex to shop and work? They will never need to <br /> go to Costco to shop or travel to North Kona and South Kohala to work`? <br /> 6. Anew water line is supposedly going to be added along Kuakini Highway from Kahakai <br /> Estates to Hualalai Road creating more traffic problems. <br /> 7. The proposed rezoning has just been brought to the attention of the neighboring residents <br /> in articles in West Hawaii Today. We, the residents of Kuakini Makai, feel that we will <br /> be affected in negative ways by this project. <br /> It appears that more thought and study need to be applied before another parcel of Ag land ends <br /> up in the urban classification. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. 0(p.
