<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bill 251 Kona Coffee Estates. (Oppose). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Adele DeCuyper, <br /> 75-272 Malulani Drive, <br /> Kailua Kona, Hi. 96740 <br /> <br /> <br /> Chairperson Stacy Higa and County Council Members, <br /> <br /> <br /> There has been a lot of rather negative testimony forwarded to the County Council on the <br /> rezoning of Stanford Carr's Kona Coffee Estates. The people of Kona who live and work <br /> here have brought up many issues. All have been ignored by the Council Members on the <br /> East side. West Hawaii Today newspaper has covered it agreeing with the people who <br /> want infrastructure developed before any more subdivisions are approved. What is more <br /> important than the needs of the people you serve? The Council declared in 2005 in <br /> reviewing a Multiple Residential rezoning proposal that the Council would strive to <br /> "enhance the quality of life in our residential communities" How is that possible with our <br /> present infrastructure? <br /> <br /> Yes, we need affordable housing but we need roads first, we need roads to connect to <br /> other areas, this subdivision does not do that. It actually will pour more than 500 cars on <br /> to QKH that is already experiencing gridlock. <br /> <br /> Bill 251 is flawed; it needs to be amended to reflect what is really going to be built and <br /> how it helps the community. The bill as it stands does not reflect what Stanford Carr is <br /> saying or what he is planning. <br /> <br /> Please oppose Bill 251 when it comes to the floor for a final vote. <br /> <br /> Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider all of the aspects of this Bill. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Adele DeCuyper <br />
