<br /> <br /> <br /> RE: BW 305, Rezoning Request (RS10 to RM2.5) <br /> By Ivan Mochida 7W.2-2-36:102,103 <br /> <br /> to live here in peace."; for the resident who expresses concern that his children <br /> <br /> won't be able to afford to buy a home elsewhere and wants to hold on to the <br /> property for his children. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We want the neighborhood to be developed in a way that our children will want to <br /> <br /> live here and have a good "quality of life". An increase in density will increase the <br /> traffic, social and safety problems. Decreasing the density would enhance the <br /> <br /> project, allowing room on site for guest parking, and more green areas for the <br /> <br /> development residents. Less density will help the developer's project to be more <br /> <br /> attractive to potential buyers. (Condominium and townhouse developments <br /> usually offer amenities such as a clubhouse or meeting area, picnic tables, <br /> <br /> swimming pool in common areas to make up for the density.) <br /> <br /> Many of those testifying for the development rezoning are interested in developing <br /> their properties. You, as Councilmen, have the opportunity to influence the <br /> <br /> direction that Houselots will be developed. Will it be a welcoming gateway to <br /> <br /> Hilo for the residents and visitors? Or will it be a crowded blight to be avoided? <br /> <br /> The General Plan states that it is "geared toward achievement of a higher <br /> quality of life for residents." We are against this rezoning and ask you to <br /> <br /> support our position. <br /> <br /> <br /> October 31, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2 <br />
