hours of their vacation dinning and shopping at our nearby shopping <br /> <br /> villages and shopping centers along Alii Drive. There is an enormous <br /> amount of recreation activates within Kailua Village in water sports, <br /> swimming, snorkeling, Kailua pier pick-up for several tour boats, all <br /> activities that require the use of cars to the village. Parking in Kailua <br /> <br /> Village has become a nightmare, there are so few Public Parking spaces <br /> within the village that it has created a void for those who can not find a <br /> convenient place to park. We want to save Kailua Village as a visitor <br /> destination. <br /> <br /> It is the responsibility of the County Council, the Mayor, and the Planning <br /> Commission to raise questions about this change of zoning. With the size <br /> from each apartment being reduced from 1000 square feet to 750 square <br /> feet and the additional units to changed from 48 to 67 and the now an <br /> additional commercial space to be added. We not only lose the possibility <br /> of having more housing for residents, it will now become a Hotel with <br /> commercial property. This is not housing made for our residents, it is just <br /> another plan to decrease our quality of life in Kailua Village. Alii Drive <br /> can not be made into a four lane highway, there is no possible way to <br /> decrease traffic today, but to increase more development on Alii Drive is <br /> wrong. KPC Villages has offered to make you an access road if you give <br /> them this zoning. Well, guess what there should be a requirement with the <br /> existing zone now. Every developer in this country knows how to make <br /> amends to get their development approved, but today it can not be re- <br /> zoned just for the benefit of profits for a developer. Let KPC V illage, LLC <br /> build their 48 apartments with an access road and leave the Hotel out of <br /> <br /> our village. It is very likely that residents of West Hawaii will read that <br /> this property will be for sale and a large corporate hotel has bought it. <br /> End of story. <br /> Please we ask that this zone change be voted down. Residents and <br /> visitors can deal with the existing zone to this property, which is under <br /> the guild lines of the Kailua Village Design Plan. Tts time now that <br /> we ask KPC Villages LLC to give an access road and be happy to build <br /> their apartments, Remember, traffic begins from Keauhou and continues <br /> to Alii Drive up through Palani Road every day, every hour of the day. <br /> <br />
