property at TMK 317-5-3:10, Mr. Clarence Rapoza, as being "dead set against this development". Clarence told Richard Wheelock directly in a phone conversation that he "accepted that development in Kona is on-going and will continue D: The top portion of KCE nearest to her property should stay 5-acres. We feel our low density project is appropriate for this area. E: Concerned that Salvation Army's m 500 students; large commercial lot; and store plus administration building is a lot °w more people than the "small artery" of Malulani Drive can handle. TSA proposes 150 students, not 500, and there is no large commercial lot, just the store, church, A pre-school and admin building. In any case, Malulani Drive was designed and built as a connector road, with four lanes (two 11' wide and two 12' wide, which conforms to highway standards) that are to be part of the central connectivity desired by the County. The TZAR and Addendums all indicate that this road can handle the projected traffic. F: Stated that Stanford went onto Clarence Rapoza's land when Stanford did the Lowes' project development. Not accurate, as Stanford did not do the Lowes project development, so knows nothing about this. 4) Adele DeCuyper owns home in Malulani Gardens. Concerns: A: Henry Street/Malulani Drive intersection one of most dangerous in town. That is why the signal is going in to accommodate ingress/egress. B: Malulani Drive is not wide enough to accommodate the present traffic, let alone the ` additional traffic to be generated by KCE. As pointed out, the lanes of Malulani Drive are to highway width standards, and the State Department of Transportation- Highways Division; the County of Hawaii Department of Public Works' Traffic ` Division; and M&E Pacific's engineers have all agreed on the improvements _ designed for Malulani Drive as being sufcient for the project. C: Perhaps SCD could purchase the Malulani Gardens park and widen Malulani Drive. This is under consideration and review. D: Has concerns about water, wants SCD to abide by previous owners' (Hawaiian Development Corporation/Joe Whitney) agreement to provide County waterlines to Malulani Gardens. SCD has offered to do so under their current development plan. ^ 5) Brenda Ford, a South Kona resident. Stated she is neither "for nor against the subdivision". r Concerns: A: The "urbanization" of the area to some degree due to "large commercial complex". SCD feels the TSA is less a large commercial complex than community service facility. B: Wants ingress and egress at two points for safety issues. KCE has access to both Queen Kaahumanu Highway as well as Henry Street, and intends to have emergency ingress/egress at Dr. Tallan's property. C: TSA buying their 5-acres at "half-price" is a "favor". Yes. D: Flood channels in ar the area should be open space. SCD's development plan does not develop any land in the flood channel. E: Arch sites should be dedicated with buffer walls, not part of individual lots. All sites to be preserved will be preserved in accordance with approved State plans. Separate subdivision of the arch sites is not feasible under existing subdivision rules. F: Feels there is insufficient water pressure, does not want spaghetti lines or Driscoll pipes. KCE will have sufficient water pressure from County approved underground waterlines. ^ 6) Lorraine Peters, a mauka property owner, is opposed. No testimony.
