m existing four land collector road known as Malulani Drive was designed as a major access for the other properties in the area, and in fact is the only access to the Kanuha ohana land. SCD does not feel that a four lane collector road which is required to be part ofKona's connectivity, which has a traffic signal, which was designed for access by the State DOT, which ahs approval by the County DPW, which has extensive Traffic Impact Analysis Reports documenting that the planned project will not exceed the capacity of the road, and which is the only legal access of record for the 70-acre Kanuha ohana property should be denied use by the residents of Malulani Gardens. 10) Pamela Poore (MG resident) is concerned about congestion, and that the two lanes of Queen Kaahumanu Highway merging into a single lane will lead commuters to use Malulani Drive (via Henry Street and Hale Kapili Street) as a r. shortcut. Since the merge of the two lanes on Queen Kaahumanu Highway occurs well south of the Malulani Drive intersection, it is unlikely that anyone will - use Malulani Drive as a shortcut unless there is a blockage on Queen r Kaahumanu Highway, such as an emergency situation. 11) Scott Bell (MG resident) concerned about a single access point for the project through Malulani Drive. Actually, the project has access to Henry Street via Hale Kapili Street as well, and the TZAR anticipates that this route will be used. He is worried about 250 additional vehicles per day causing deadlocked traffic on Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Henry Street, all the way to Kuakini Highway and Palani Road. The TIAR does not anticipate this occurring. Concerned that Police and Fire Department personnel are not in favor of KCE due to lack of ingress and egress. While the Police Department response to the Planning Department expressed concerns about access to Queen Kaahumanu Highway, the Fire Department response did not do so, and KCE will be built in accordance - with Fire department regulations. "Little Malulani Drive is not the County standard." Malulani Drive is built to County collector road standards, on a 60' wide ROW with four lanes (two 12' wide and two 11 'wide), with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. It is in the process of being dedicated by Brian Cook A lighted intersection is under construction at Malulani Drive and Queen Kaahumanu Highway as approved by the State DOT and County DPW By way of reference, 12' wide is the State standard for major highway lanes. 12) Sammie Stanbro (Mauka neighbor) states SCD doesn't know where the roads are. The main access road is as shown on the plan, connecting to Malulani Drive and Henry Street via Hale Kapili Street. In addition, SCD plans for the mid-level road and the Hienaloli extension. 13) Sammie Stanbro (mauka neighbor) says that other properties we are proposing limited access to already have 5-6 homes on them and are planning to subdivide, with her belief that the resulting increased traffic will overwhelm Malulani Drive. In addition, she claims that all these properties have access to Mamalahoa Highway so the public will use this route as well, further overwhelming Malulani drive. Only two homes exist on these three lots, but the lots could accommodate up to a total of six homes in the future. However, the access agreements with these lot owners specifically disallow any other users and the accesses are not up ' to County code requirements so will not allow further subdivision of any of the
