And that is, that West <br /> ?awai~i antl its inLrastructural def i.cits will be improved by their project. <br /> The road promised b}Lthis rezoni~L ike those o£ Hokulia _SUffolk/Pua'a~Hilu Hih~_and <br /> other~is not worth the losses which will come from that ap~roval_ Increased development <br /> especially wi t_h out prior, we 11-thought-out planning does not dec ro a:;e Lraf tic. Period. Ts <br /> there no end to the belief Lhal a road is the answer to traffic soar Ls and greater ]and use <br /> issues? And is there no end to developer-driven land use decisions that continue to ruin the <br /> quality of life for West Hawai i residents? <br /> AL this Lime, there is no excuse for the rezoning subdivision o£ a single Qroper~+_in West <br /> H_awai-i. None. Councilwoman Isbell has wisoly been working nn concur re ney iegi slation Co <br /> require infrast rueLUre to be built before development on new p mjeets can proceed. <br /> Additionally, mi Llions of dollars and thousands of hours are being spent to create a new, <br /> viable, Cortmnuiity Development-. Plan, Why on earth would anyone choose this moment to approve <br /> the upzoning of property especially in congested downtown Kailua-Kona while these <br /> processes are nu wing forward? <br /> When will we collectively realize that 'pit they build it, they will come"?" Like Ilo kulia's <br /> empty promises oL re]ief from traffic jams while they create new, more congesting Bevel optnout <br /> aL along that roadway, this project is more a promise to speculators than to our community. <br /> 'Phis is jus t_ another carrot dangled in front oT us. Will this developer, or thi; community, <br /> decide how Kone will Look in the future? <br /> LL's up to this council, this day, this issue. <br /> Pleaso vole °no" on this proposal. <br /> Ma halo a nui loa, <br /> Janine Palma-Glennie <br /> 36z .38 <br /> Rif, Uate <br /> 3/22/2006 <br /> <br />
