The more <br /> people walk, the less they will drive and congest the highway. <br /> <br /> 2) According to good planning practices, low density housing SHOULD NOT be <br /> built within the urban core and within walking distance of shopping and <br /> commercial centers. I understand that Mr. Carr is building approx. 50 low density <br /> homes on one-acre lots. Low density housing fails to maximize the use of the land <br /> and fails to place more housing where housing belongs. Please ask Mr. Carr to <br /> increase the density of his one-acre lots to at least twice as many homes as is <br /> currently planned. <br /> <br /> 3) Since Mr. Carr's current access to his property was an understood fact before <br /> the people of Malulani moved in, Mr. Carr should be allowed to keep the access. <br /> Good planning practices calls for road and walkway interconnectivity between <br /> subdivisions within the urban core. The more connections the better. However, if <br /> Mr. Carr is allowed or required to increase the density of his homes, then please <br /> ask him to build a roadway to Palani Road only. <br /> <br /> Mahalo, <br /> <br /> Josephine Keliipio <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
