lots using these accesses. Also, all there of these properties are gated, so no " public use will be allowed. 14) Michael Flaherty (MG resident) is concerned about all the traffic being funneled to the Malulani Drive/Queen Kaahumanu Highway intersection for traffic and safety concerns. He is also concerned about the effect on Malulani Gardens' ingress and egress. The secondary access through Hale Kapili/Henry Street and the planned emergency access via Dr. Tallan's mauka property will help alleviate the safety concerns both for KCE as well as the existing Malulani Gardens. The TZAR indicates that the roadway as planned can handle the project's traffic. 15) Curtis Tyler feels the new signal at Malulani Drive is going to be a disaster. This is part of the infrastructure required by the State and County, and approved by both. Curtis feels KCE will be the worst disaster in Kona. SCD respectfully disagrees with this assessment. 16) Curtis Tyler wants SCD held accountable for the roadway the previous developer was going to build. SCD is not aware of any unfuflled roadway obligations of the previous developer. General Comments: 1) Brenda Ford stated that flood channels should be left as open space. KCE does not intend to build in the several acres of flood zoned land on their project. 2) Cheryl King is concerned that there is insufficient water, schools and safe access for this project. The Department of Water Supply requires SCD to provide adequate water for the project or it will not get built; The State Department of Education has indicated that there is sufficient capacity for the additional students from the project as planned, and the TSA will provide an additional pre- school if they go forward; the State Department of Transportation and the County Department of Public Works has approved the planned roadway access infrastructure for the project. 3) Jake Jacobs says the schools are overcrowded. See 42 above re: schools. 4) Adele DeCuyper feels no subdivision should be granted until the Kona Community Development Plan is approved. The CDP is designed to refine the County General Plan, in place since 1971. The County general plan has designated the subject land as "Alternate Urban Expansion "for over 30 years, and this plan is in accordance with such designation. 5) Joel Gimpel is concerned about boarding houses; small commercial users; crematoriums; telecom antennas; etc. being erected on the 5-acre site if TSA does not buy it. All these referenced uses require either Planning Director approval or a "Use "permit to be developed, so the County and Public would have a say for ay of these uses except a boarding house. In reality, none of these mentioned uses are economically viable or practical at this location. 6) Gust Koutroupis concerned about safety and that Richard Wheelock did not get back to MG homeowners before June 21" hearing. Traffic and roadway safety issues addressed by professionals. The June 21" hearing was deferred so that SCD Kona could deal with MG raised issues. Two meetings with MG held since them, neither attended by Mr. Koutroupis.
