Murashige, Laura <br /> From: Cheryl King [CKing@hawaii.rr.com] <br /> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 1:29 PM <br /> <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Cc: Pilago, K. Angel <br /> <br /> Subject: Bills 226 & 227 <br /> Please vote no on this bill. <br /> Previous testimony that I heard on this bill convinced me that there <br /> is not enough water, not enough space in the schools, or adequate <br /> road infrastructure to support "Lava Kuakini". <br /> Some councilmembers stated that they were voting for these because <br /> they wanted to see "affordable housing" for local workers. Will this <br /> developer commit to building the "affordable units" first, so that <br /> they can get the available water slots in case the rest can't be <br /> built? I think not. What guarantee is there that "local workers" <br /> vs. local or mainland retirees will even be able to purchase these <br /> units? I don't see how one can discriminate between purchasers <br /> unless this is a public housing project with specific rules in place. <br /> The developer seemed to think it was the state's problem to worry <br /> about adequate school infrastructure, not his. Has anyone on the <br /> council spoken to the principals of Kahakai or the Innovations <br /> Charter School to see if they can accommodate a big influx of <br /> students any time soon? <br /> Those who live in both the affordable housing and the more expensive <br /> dwellings proposed on this site deserve adequate water, adequate <br /> schools, adequate green spaces, and adequate roadways. <br /> Those of us who already live here deserve them too. Approving this <br /> project without adequate infrastructure will impact the rest of us <br /> who are already dealing with those shortages. <br /> Sincerely, Cheryl King <br /> Cheryl King <br /> 77-6455 Ono Road <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 <br /> Phone: 808-326-7016 <br /> E-Mail: Cheryl_41448@Yahoo.Com or CKing@hawaii.rr.com (preferred) <br /> c«... 4G. ~Z <br /> Ref.
