Comments on Written Submittals to Council from May 1 to May 17, 2006 1) Cheryl King, May 14 email. Main congestion on Queen Kaahumanu Highway from the south starts in this area. Not enough water, space in schools, or safe access to this area. The various governmental agencies have informed us that water, school space, and safe access for this low density project as planned are adequate. 2) Lorraine Peters, a mauka neighboring property owner, fax on 5-17-06. She joins her neighbors Linda Cavis and Sammie Stanbro in opposition to the KCE. Water has not been adequately addressed; poor access to the property; neighboring properties have easements so number of cars using roads will be greater than represented. Water is adequate for project; the access is acceptable by the State DOT and County DPW,- the maximum of 6 additional homes on lots to be provided access has been determined as having a negligible impact on the TZAR by the W Traffic Engineer. _ 3) Jake Jacobs' email dated 5-17. Mr. Carr, a speculator, should benefit ordinary people, working people, people already here and not just rich mainlanders. Project will add traffic; use more water than is available; and increase overcrowding in our schools. Doesn't even offer roads or parks. Wait until infrastructure is in, including mass transit. Jake is sick of gates and curbs and manicured lawns. Why not sell land and develop southern California desert? SCD is long- term developer, not speculator. This project is designed for the local market, and looks to infill w an Urban location in accordance with "smart growth" ideals. Water is adequate; State DOE figures indicate that this project will not produce overcrowding in schools, and in fact we hope that TSA build s much needed pre-school for the "ordinary people " Jake is concerned about. mm The project offers quite a bit of roads and infrastructure, including plans to hook up over 80 homes to the County water system. Mr. Carr was born and raised in Hawaii, does not do southern California projects. 4) Jim and Virginia Cochran of Malulani Gardens fax dated 5-14. The Cochran's want the project to access Palani Road. SCD feels access to Palani Road is desirable as well, but does not control the properties in between KCE and Palani Road. 5) Gust Koutroupis of Malulani Gardens letter dated 5-13. States no alternate route for emergency vehicles is a safety problem. Emergency access via Dr. Tallan's. Opening Malulani Drive will cause safety problem due to increased traffic seeking shortcut. TMR does not anticipate this occurring, but the connectivity of Malulani Drive is required by County approval of Malulani Gardens in any case. KCE should not be approved without alternate ingress/egress. r Emergency road at Tallan's and eventual Hienaloli extension and mid-level road. Don't approve unless project has access to upper Palani Road, away from congested Henry Street/Queen Kaahumanu Highway. TZAR indicates that the planned project is within acceptable levels for the existing roadway system. 6) Walt and Pat Hoffrnan of Malulani Gardens letter dated 5-12. they want a condition that will provide for "neighborhood compatibility". SCD is not sure what their definition of "neighborhood compatibility " is, but would consider any such condition approved by the Council. Traffic must be considered, must contribute to mitigation. SCD is already contributing to the traffic signal construction, and will contribute to roadway connectivity, and Hienaloli and mid-level road installation. Traffic and safety within MG must not be negatively impacted. Gated community was approved by the County, they want no intrusion into streets of MG. KCE
