<br /> <br /> <br /> RE. Rezoning Request (RSIO to RM 2.5) <br /> By Ivan Mochida and Les Aburamen. TMK. 2-2-36.60,102,103 <br /> <br /> Department beginning April 1999, and are extremely fearful that this problem will escalate if <br /> <br /> the proposed development is allowed to occur, resulting again in more concrete and <br /> <br /> sidewalks with less natural vegetation and ground to absorb water run-off. <br /> <br /> We feel that Houselots, and Laukapu Street in particular, lacks the proper infrastructure to <br /> <br /> support a project of the size proposed. The roads are narrow, with one lane in each <br /> <br /> direction. The proposed land density will result in a drastic increase in people and cars, <br /> <br /> leading to street parking problems and traffic congestion on the 700 block of Laukapu Street <br /> <br /> which is already a heavily used thoroughfare to and from the industrial area. This will <br /> <br /> undoubtedly be compounded by construction of 8.5 units per'/ acre. <br /> 1. 2 parking stalls are provided for each of the 34 units, but there is a potential for an <br /> <br /> increase of 102 cars or more, with no parking available for 34 additional cars except <br /> <br /> on the street. This would have an adverse effect not only on the 700 block of Laukapu <br /> <br /> Street, but the surrounding blocks. Presently 3 to 4 bedroom single family dwellings <br /> <br /> frequently have 3 to 4 cars, which can be parked on their property with 2 cars in the 2 <br /> <br /> car garage and 2 cars tandem in their driveway. When there are multiple family <br /> <br /> dwellings that provide parking for 2 cars/unit, the extra cars end up parked in the <br /> <br /> street, causing massive parking problems as we've seen in the Salt Lake area in <br /> <br /> Honolulu. <br /> <br /> 2. Paragraph 3 page 2 of the Environmental Impact Statement states "adequate space <br /> <br /> for 2 more stalls behind the garaged stalls could be used for guest parking". While I <br /> <br /> realize that Figure 4 of the proposal may not be drawn to scale, the drawing shows 2 <br /> <br /> cars passing each other comfortably on the property. However, there is not adequate <br /> <br /> space for 2 more stalls behind the garaged stalls. Figure 5, the conceptual site plan <br /> <br /> which is drawn to scale, shows the proposed development driveways from Laukapu <br /> <br /> <br /> 2 <br />
