Angel; Hoffmann, Pete <br /> Subject: Bill 220 (2004-2006) and Bill 221 (Draft 2) (2004-2006) <br /> <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> I am in process of moving to HPP, where I am building a new home. I have family in the area, and have been a <br /> <br /> frequent visitor to the area over the past twenty years. <br /> <br /> One of the main reasons for my relocation is the pleasant rural atmosphere in the Puna area. I have watched <br /> <br /> 'progress' in the form of bigger roads, more development and thus more people with some dismay over the <br /> <br /> years. My comfort was in the fact that there was no development allowed fronting Hwy 130. <br /> <br /> The traffic has increased tremendously over the years, with 'black spots' at the entries to HPP. t cannot believe <br /> <br /> that traffic will not be adversely affected by t he passage of these two bills. To my mind they are the 'thin end of <br /> the wedge'. <br /> I would urge you to please vote against this proposed development in order not to exacerbate the traffic situation <br /> on Hwy 130. Should you vote for this proposition, the floodgates will be opened for strip malls, liquor stores and <br /> other delights of modern civilization -the very thing that I am fleeing the mainland to avoid. <br /> Thank you for your consideration, <br /> Regards, <br /> Mike W Johnson <br /> mikewj@ix. netcom ,com <br /> Comm.
