<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> that was found in violation of that law) and the current handling of the pending Parker <br /> Ranch Luala'i III subdivision application, my sense is that your administration just <br /> "doesn't get" the message that the Court has sought to communicate in those decisions. <br /> <br /> I understand that, in the context of the County's connector road from Mamalahoa <br /> Highway to Kawaihae Road, the County is considering acquiring a corridor of land along <br /> Parker Ranch's boundary with the Lalamilo farm lots in order to accommodate the <br /> interests of those affected farm lot owners. That is all well and good. However, if some <br /> how Parker Ranch is pitching that the possibility of selling some land to the County (at <br /> fair market value) can be used to coax the County into carrying out Parker Ranch's <br /> rezoning obligation to construct the Town Center Road, it will not pass the "you got to be <br /> kidding test" as far as the Waimea community is concerned. <br /> <br /> I know that you did not attend the June I91 Waimea Community Association <br /> meeting with the Parsons Brinkerhoff traffic consultants, and unbelievably, the press <br /> ignored the impassioned statements by residents concerning Parker Ranch's failure to <br /> abide by the Town Center Road commitment made to the Waimea Community back in <br /> 1992. Yet, as a representative of one of the local school's commented, "as of June 1" , the <br /> eyes of the Waimea Community are watching" how the County and Parker Ranch handle <br /> the Town Center Road obligation. <br /> Recently in the press, there is reference to new road concurrency legislation. Yet <br /> if the County does not enforce the road obligations that are in place, what is the point of <br /> this legislation? Without meaningful enforcement, the law is a joke. <br /> <br /> Likewise, why ask community members to participate in lengthy and difficult <br /> Community Development Plans, when, at the subdivision approval stage, even provisions <br /> of the General Plan that parrallel rezoning ordinance obligations are ignored or even <br /> proposed to be deleted, as was the case with Parker Ranch's requested deletion of its <br /> Town Center Connector Road obligation, as was proposed by the Planning Director? <br /> <br /> I am continuing to collect petitions with signatures of residents around the County <br /> insisting that the County enforce Parker Ranch's Town Center Road obligation and that <br /> the County proceed expeditiously with its construction of the Mamalahoa Highway to <br /> Kawaihae Road connector road - and that the County use its funds for the County road, <br /> and not to pay for Parker Ranch's Town Center Road obligation. I will forward these <br /> petitions to you shortly. (I am hoping to first collect the petitions that are still out from <br /> Kawaihae, Waikoloa, and Honoka`a.) <br /> <br /> Please hear the suffering of all of those whose lives are so adversely affected by <br /> the County's continuing accommodation of Parker Ranch's avoidance of its Town Center <br /> Road obligation and the County's similar failure to complete its connector road. <br /> <br /> Si cerely, <br /> <br /> arga ille, a concerned resident of Waimea <br /> cc: County Council members <br /> Chris Yuen, Director of Planning <br />
