Robello, Alfred <br /> From: Susie Cysewski [agkona@hawaii.rr.comj <br /> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 10:05 AM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: SUFFOLK INVESTMENT AND PUA'A DEVELOPMENT <br /> ~ <br /> Aloha, <br /> _ <br /> I wanted to offer my testimony concerning this project. I think it s good <br /> idea with some concerns. Affordable housing is badly needed in Kona. I know <br /> of so many businesses that can't find employees and certainly part of the <br /> reason is there's no place for them to live. A central location seems <br /> reasonable and a shopping center there seems like it would reduce some <br /> congestion around Palani Road intersection. Perhaps some residents in the <br /> area could walk to the store reducing cars on the road. My other thoughts <br /> are: <br /> - There should be a SAFE CROSSWALK for kids and adults from Pulani Estates <br /> to cross Kuakini Hwy to get to the Shopping Center, maybe even a pedestrian <br /> bridge above. <br /> - That the affordable apartments are not sucked up by retirees from the <br /> mainland. Maybe there could be a stipulation that first renters need to be <br /> Hawaii residents for a year to be able to rent. Young people and <br /> young families should get preference. <br /> <br /> - Some way to control that Affordable apartments don't end up with 10 <br /> <br /> family members living in a 2 BDRM apartment <br /> <br /> - There should be a playground, pavilion and restrooms for the public to <br /> use. <br /> <br /> Thank you, <br /> <br /> Susie Cysewski <br /> Phn 325-6493 <br /> Comm.
