~ l <br /> Mar~Ann~' Shattuck <br /> 48-$336 TtF~;ipioi Rd. <br /> Kuks h~efe, Hi" 96727 <br /> February _2, 1998 <br /> County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Subject: Peddling at Waipio Valley Lookout. <br /> Dear County Council Members: <br /> Waipio Valley is one of the most important treasures of the <br /> Hawaiian culture. The Waipio Valley Overlook is a place `ohere <br /> visitors and kamaainas are first introduced to Waipio. "the <br /> natural beauty of the overlook is magnificent. <br /> During the time that I have owned residential property <br /> at Waipio Overlook there have been many instances of peddlars <br /> setting up operations at the lookout. Most of them have <br /> thankfully moved on but to date there have been a few persistent <br /> peddlers that have entrenched themselves into the lookout <br /> area. As a result the lookout has evolved from a peaceful and <br /> serene setting to a location that looks more like a circus <br /> or county fair. Certainly not like a cultural or historic <br /> site! <br /> Visitors to the overlook, because of limited parking, are now <br /> parking in my front yard. It is a constant problem to place <br /> a note on the windshield asking them not to park on my property <br /> or block my driveway. <br /> I respectfully request that the City Council impose a pedalling <br /> ban on all vendors in the overlook area as this location should <br /> be reserved for visitors and locals alike. This is the same <br /> restriction that you created to protect the City of Refuge and <br /> and certain locations i~ Kamuela. We have zoning laws that allow <br /> commercialism in certain areas, why do we allow venders to <br /> change a quiet neighborhood and scenic area into a shoddy <br /> commercial site? <br /> <br /> Mahalo and thank you for your time. <br /> <br /> Aloha, <br /> Gc.GJ~ <br /> <br /> Mary ne Shattuck <br /> ~0. ~ 87. ~9 <br /> tee. ~ ct s r~ <br /> Veit ~ Presented ~'W P C- <br /> a~t FEB 3 19SB <br /> <br />
