<br /> 4/19/06 Hawaii Council Meeting <br /> . ~ ~ ' <br /> t 1 <br /> <br /> Good Morning. <br /> My name is Daniel Medeiros and I speak today for myself and my <br /> wife, Sara. She is n school teacher at Kenlakehe Elementary, and <br /> couldn't be here today, although she would like to be here to ask <br /> <br /> you in person to do the right thing. <br /> I was born and raised on the Big Island. I have lived here all my <br /> life. I've lived and worked in Kona for 35 years. Sara was raised <br /> <br /> on Oahu. I'm retired now, and about 7 years ago, we bought a 5 <br /> <br /> acre parcel in Kaloko Mnuka. We've been farming for 6 years. <br /> We bought our unit because we loved the forest and I wanted to <br /> farm. When we bought the property, it was n 4-unit CPR nlrendy <br /> <br /> and we went in with 3 other families to purchase it. We bought <br /> the unit that had the house and there we finished raising our last <br /> child. We want you to know, he's n Kealakehe high graduate now, <br /> but not on the road anymore! He's serving in the U. 5. Marine <br /> <br /> Corps and will be not home for a long time. So if this is about <br /> <br /> traffic, that is one less person driving our car up and down Knloko <br /> Drive... <br /> I say this because we don't understand the impact on the traffic <br /> that our conversion from CPR to subdivision makes. I thought <br /> the county didn't want us to have n CPR? So the right thing to do <br /> is to convert the CPR into a subdivision. If it's the money, it's our <br /> understanding that the conversion should help fund that solution. <br /> We wont to do the right thing. One of those is to support our <br /> neighbors getting to build a house for them to live in with their <br /> family. We nlrendy hove our house, we just think that they ? <br /> Comm. PJo.
