However, the <br /> section of Laukapu Street where Ivan Mochida wants to build 24 condominium units happens to be <br /> in a quiet single family residential section where responsible and well-established families have <br /> lived for decades if not for generations. Having these families still living in a neighborhood should <br /> be considered a valuable asset to the neighborhood, after all, they are the eyes and ears of the <br /> neighborhood. If anything looks suspicious, they are the ones who would take action immediately. <br /> So why is it that Mr. Mochida does not want to reach a compromise with them? <br /> This situation somewhat reminds me of the Malulani Gardens situation in Kona. It was my <br /> understanding that the Planning Department asked the developer, Mr. Carr to meet with the <br /> residents of Malulani Gardens to get their input. 40% of the Malulani Gardens residents are not <br /> even full time residents of Kona. After meeting with the residents several times in the last 2 years, <br /> the residents made it clear to Mr. Carr that they did not want his large 97-acre project to have a <br /> density any higher than what he now has (56 units high density and 57 units low density). <br /> The residents of Laukapu are not asking that Mr. Mochida not build his project. They are asking that <br /> the project be cut back to 12 units because 24 units on one and one half acres is too imposing on <br /> their neighborhood. Imagine the additional in and out traffic that will be generated from 24 units at <br /> one spot? <br /> <br /> Please ask Mr. Mochida to reduce his project to 12 units only. <br /> <br /> Mahalo, <br /> <br /> Josephine Kelilpio > <br /> 76-168 Royal Poinciana Driveo <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740 T ti <br /> -.s <br /> <br /> _ <br /> W <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm. <br /> Ref.
