<br /> <br /> <br /> RE: Bill 305, Rezoning Request (RS10 to RM 2.5 <br /> By Ivan Mochida TMK: 2-2-36:102,103 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The developer's offer to install sidewalks on one side of the 700 block of Laukapu <br /> Street is a red herring to obscure the density problem. Sidewalks on one side will <br /> <br /> not lessen the density, nor will it lessen the traffic. It will direct the overflow of <br /> <br /> cars from the development to park on the grassy area on our side of the street and <br /> <br /> the surrounding blocks which lack sidewalks. <br /> <br /> <br /> On a more personal level, we've documented through photographs the flooding <br /> <br /> that occurs after heavy rainfall that jeopardizes our basement living quarters. We <br /> <br /> are fearful that the development will put us at greater risk. We are even more <br /> fearful that putting sidewalks and gutters on one side of the block only will further <br /> <br /> direct surface water runoff towards our property. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The General Plan reflects what you, the County Council believed promotes the best <br /> interests of the community as a whole, all communities, including ours on Laukapu <br /> <br /> Street. Yes, it has general designations of land use, but the Plan has not forgotten <br /> <br /> the people and has clearly provided and ensured that their "quality of life" is <br /> achieved and not taken away. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We ask for your support in denying this application for multiple residential uses. <br /> <br /> We feel that any approval at this time would be premature because it would <br /> adversely affect the quality of life of our neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> October 31, 2006 <br />
