L t-( - (t / L,/ /C ~ <br /> Ca tain Cook Ht 96704 <br /> P c~ 11~ fll-~u <br /> October Ol, 1997 <br /> Councd members <br /> Couniy of Hawaii <br /> AGRICULTURAL PROJECT DISTRICT APPLICATION <br /> APPLICANT SF.AMOUNT ENTERPRISES dba KA'AWALOA ORCHARDS <br /> My wife and 1 are owners of lot 7B in the existing Ka'awaioa Orchards subdivision. Our decision <br /> and recent purchase of this lo[ was greatly influenced by it's rural setting and agricultural income producing <br /> potential, and so I can easily support the concept of this APD. <br /> After we moved in, Seamount Vice President, Sally Rice, and shortly thereafter, Seamount President Christopher <br /> Nome, spoke [o us about [he new development and informed us [hat by having the County approve [his project, the <br /> easement road would only be expanded to 20 feet and not the county standard of SO feet, which would remove <br /> almost 2S% of our atemoya orchard (22 trees 1, two mature monkey pod trees (diameter 18" and 30")and bring the <br /> easement road within 20 feet of our home. Needless to say, this encouraged me even more to support this project. <br /> Since Chrtstopher Nome is the only person who can assign and authorize use of the road (other than family, <br /> friends or tenants of property owtters), we asked for assurance that only the existing owners and the 7 lots <br /> of [he new APD have use of the road and no[ be used for an existing sub-division adjacent to [he proposed APD <br /> development. My wife and I received that assurance from Seamount V.P. Sally Rice, but after the Planning <br /> Board's approval of the project, it seems this assurance was taken away. I feel that this was an imimidating tactic. <br /> My concern is that this easement road will be extended and used for the sub-0ivision adjacent to the proposed <br /> APD. This potential action would double the traffic and goes against the County's (Agricultural Project District's) <br /> policy and goal's of protecting agricultural lands from urban encroachment and maintaining [he rural style <br /> residential-agricultural community. <br /> Therefore, I request that the County's approval of this project be contingent on restricting the use of [he easement <br /> road to the proposed 7 lot development and the existing 4 lots . <br /> Mahalo for your consideration. <br /> Gu ar Freivalds ~ ~ <br /> ~IPreseMed G~~~« <br /> 1let.
