water and future connectivity as desired by the planning department. This would also prevent division of our community. Joel Gimpel, Chair, Public Affairs says, "the right of way for a crossover to Malulani gardens is admirable, but because Malulani gardens is a gated community, we doubt that access will be permitted". Mr. Gimpel also mentions Kakalina, " This corridor is contiguous through Kailua View and Kona Heights. It lines up with a I-acre Ag parcel owned by Brian Cook just mauka of Malulani Gardens and continues north to the Kona Coffee Estates parcel and on to Palani Road" What a perfect solution, we all win. ISSUE 3: WATER Water is a huge issue in Kona. Malulani Gardens is on a "Private Water System". We were promised that when future development occurred we would be hooked up to the County Water System. This is one condition that CANNOT be negotiated. That promise must be fulfilled. SOLUTION: Right now we are not sure where the water for the Kona Coffee Estates is coming from. Several plans have been put forth none as of this date seem to be solidified Please inform us with a real plan not just "maybes". ISSUE 4: TRAFFIC Traffic is a huge issue if you are in the Kona Crawl everyday. SOLUTION: Do a new traffic study that is not paid for by the developer. The stretch of highway between Henry Street and Nani Kailua needs to be widened before we put more cars into the system. GENERAL COMMENTS: Gated communities are known to extend the life of the land as the Homeowners Association enforces the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that all have to abide by. It is cheaper for the County as they are not responsible for the upkeep of the private road system. Wait for the Kona Community Development Plan before we do more damage that will be hard to correct. Work on the infrastructure. There are a lot of bright minds around to help. Sincerely, Adele DeCuyper
