Our second concern deals with preserving the natural and cultural heritage of Kukuihaele and Waipi' o, two culturally significant wahi pana or sacred places. Presently the beauty and true value of this area lies in its rural character, something that is threatened once commercialization takes place. The major concern here is not one individual peddling his goods, but the fact that until restrictions are imposed other vendors will soon follow and our area will look like some of the once beautiful places on Oahu now overrun with peddlers. No one in the Kukuihaele community will directly benefit from these vendors, however, many of us will feel the negative effects of their activities. For the above reasons, we feel that it is imperative that the Old Honoka' a- Waipi'oRoad, from its Northern End of State Highway (FAS 240) on the Waipi'o Valley side of Kukuihaele to the Waipi'o Vatley Lookout be included in the places protected from peddling in Ordinance Chapter 22, Article 1, Division 7, Section 22-31. By not allowing commercial activities within this area, we the residents of this area along with our children and those that come to visit, will be able to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Kukuihaele and Waipi' a Valley lookout, much like out ancestors did for many generations.
