KONA CCU~11Y COUNCIL <br /> <br /> May 24, 2005 <br /> 2QJ5 f.'. ?_7 P.'1 ~4~ 08 <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> Comarittee on Planning <br /> Hawaii County Building <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Attn: Pete Hoffmann / Co-Chair <br /> K.Angel Pilago / Co-Chao <br /> RE: Suffolk / Puaa Rezoning <br /> Bills 29 thru 32 <br /> The following are a list of reasons to approve the Suffolk/Puaa Rezoning project: <br /> l . There is a serious need for affordable rental housing in Kailua-Kona. Lack of <br /> inventory is driving an increase in prices. A lot of professionals in our market <br /> place cannot afford to purchase a home so, to have affordable rental housing will <br /> help to facilitate these specific needs. <br /> 2. Adding a corridor connection Mauka to Makai from Queen K. to Kuakini Hwy <br /> with the addition of traffic lights at the intersections would alleviate a lot of the <br /> current traffic problems in this area. <br /> 3. Building another neighborhood shopping area located conveniently between <br /> Keahou and Kailua-Kona, would help to eliminate driving time on the highways. <br /> Our community thrives off of jobs that help to support our local economy. <br /> Constructing a neighborhood shopping area will offer more job opportunities and_ <br /> help support existing businesses. <br /> I support the Suffolk/Puaa Rezoning and hope that it will be passed! <br /> Mahalo, ` ~ <br /> Print name: ~'(j~~V7e N I C~j.Ci I`~~~5ignature:' ~~i <br /> Address: 75 ~~I05 d~KbF~ Sr K~1LU~- +co~~ , ~1_~`7~f-C <br /> <br />
