Angel; Higa, Stacy Subject: Fw: Bill 123 KPC Villages, LLC Aloha: This letter was sent to Virginia Isbell and others. There are a few other issues that need to be explained 1 The fact that Walua Road, which connects to Kuakini, is only about 100 yards from the proposed road. 2. How many permits are out there, not only from this administration, but others? It appears that the developers are getting ready to build, en masse, to make sure their projects are done before any entity can change their collective minds. What a mess for Kona. 3. If you read 3/17 West Hawaii Today, Higa has had a workplace violence complaint filed against him. He says its just a staffer who was in the middle of a dispute between Council Members....My goodness....can't we all just get along? This petty bickering has GOT TO STOP. We need the council to function...not be dysfunctional. More and more, they are proving what a bunch of petty tyrants they all are. Let us stop this in the next election. Lillian Hope to see everyone on Wednesday, March 22 at the Sheraton for a stand on where we stand...Lillian Original Message From: Gfilaban@aol.com To: visbell@co.hawaii.hi.us Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 9:21 PM Subject: Bill 123 KPC Villages, LLC March 16, 2006 Ms. Virginia Isbell District 7 75-5706 Hanama Place, #109 Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 Dear Virginia. Mahalo for spending the time with me yesterday. As you know, I have supported you for many years. However, recently I have been disillusioned by your voting record. I had hoped our meeting would clarify why you are advocating the increased density for KPC Villages LLC; which will cause more congestion on Alii Drive. This bill is opposed by the other West Hawaii councilmembers and many of your constituents. It would only seem a matter of common courtesy to defer to Mr. Pilago, after all, it's his kuleana. Interestingly, you have been willing to comply with the wishes of the Hilo councilmembers on issues regarding their districts. When I asked you to explain your position on this bill and the justification for it, you failed to do that. You did, however, discuss a variety of other non-related subjects. I appreciate you advising me on those other issues. You told me that the County could use eminent domain to acquire the balance of the land needed to provide access to Kuakini Highway and that is no doubt correct. However, the real issue is the economics. The continuation of that proposed road would dramatically diminish the value of the remainder of KSBE's property. Their lawyers would successfully make that argument. Consequently, the acquisition by eminent domain would be extremely expensive. Given the attitude of our current county council, it seems highly unlikely that the council would approve the necessary funds. Nothing in our conversation led me to believe that you have thought about or considered these ramifications. I've looked over the materials that you shared with me and concluded that your proposed amendment falls far short of providing a solution that would benefit our community. There is no assurance that the road will ever be completed. It appears that this will likely turn out to be another Lako Street. 1 2 Ref. To:~ _ 7 v Ref. Uate 3/17/2006
