<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> October 13, 2006 <br /> Letter to Hawaz i County Council <br /> SUBJECT: Response to Comments on Bill 251 and Status Report <br /> Page 5 of 5 <br /> 6. We do not intend to use the mauka property owner's roadway to Mamalahoa Highway in any <br /> way. <br /> <br /> G: General Comments <br /> There were around 10 general comments addressing diverse issues and opinions of parties. We have <br /> listed and addressed these comments in the attached "General Comments" section of the "Public <br /> Comments By Category" section. <br /> <br /> In summary, we have planned this project carefully to try to address the goals and needs of our <br /> neighbors and community. This project is designed for the Kona resident. Not one of the adjoining <br /> property owners has come forth to oppose our project, and many have testified in favor of the project <br /> due to our working with them. We have worked hard to address the issues raised by government <br /> <br /> agencies (only the Police Department has voiced opposition to the project as planned) and other various <br /> parties, working with the community and County officials throughout the process. <br /> We have contributed and will continue to contribute substantially to Kona's infrastructure in the areas <br /> of roads, traffic signals, water, and electrical improvements, and will help connect over 80 Malulani <br /> Gardens users to the County water system versus their current private system they have complained <br /> about. We will be contributing substantial additional funds to infrastructure through the required zoning <br /> change contributions. We will be placing almost two dozen Kona families in desperate need into <br /> affordable housing, and will be adding another 33 townhomes to the mid-market that is terribly <br /> underserved in Kona at this time. <br /> <br /> We feel this is a good project for Kona and respectfully request approval by the County Council of our <br /> Change of Zone request. <br /> <br /> Please contact Stanford or me with any comments or questions you may have. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Richard A.
