Angel Pilago <br /> 73-3706 Hanama Pl lt109 <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740-8980 <br /> Dear Angel, <br /> Thank you so much for yow years of dedication and commitment to the <br /> people of Hawaii. Yow wisdom and leadership are crucial at this time of <br /> explosive growth in the Kailua-Kona area You have a history of careful <br /> consideration and courage to make dit~icult but necessary decisions. <br /> I am writing this letter to express my support for the Pualani Estates Makai <br /> development. I attended the public hearing at King Kamehameha Resott on <br /> April l2 and listened to the various opinions about the project. Although I <br /> did not testify, I believe this project solves some of the critical infrastructure <br /> problems facing Kona. <br /> I agree with Ann Peterson's testimony that small neighborhood shopping <br /> alleviates traffic congestion by allowirtg people to walk and bicycle to their <br /> errands. This is the kind of sustainable community I hope to live in. <br /> I also agree with Ctutis Tyler's comments on the need for more mauka- <br /> makai corridors co facilitate optimal traffic flow and to create emergency <br /> escape routes. <br /> Another positive aspect of this project is that it is completely in compliance <br /> with the newly passed General Plan Tf we are to contain sprawl and <br /> maintain ow agricultural lands, we need affordable housing where <br /> employment opportunities exist. Also, areas of dense population are more <br /> easily served by mass transit options. <br /> Comm. N4 ~ bS' <br /> Ref. To: L^~ <br /> Raf. [Jute <br /> <br />
