<br /> .1'" ° <br /> February 17, 1998 <br /> County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni St. <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Subject: Peddling at Waipio Valley Lookout <br /> Dear Council Members, <br /> As a property owner at 48-5516 Waipio Road, Waipio Valley Lookout <br /> I am strongly for permanently banning all peddlars at tie <br /> Valley Lookout. <br /> First of f, Waipio Valley is one obi the Big Island's treasures <br /> and as a visitor and local destination it is second only <br /> to the Volcano National Park. <br /> Like our beaches we have to guard our heritage aisld let the <br /> children and our visitors know that we are proud yet protective <br /> of our past. <br /> Secondly I am greatly disturbed by a permitting process that <br /> allows a residential area to be turned into a carnival type <br /> atmosphere with little or no regard to the surrounding <br /> property owners. The commercial tour agencies have regulated <br /> themselves and operate 500 yards back from the overlook in <br /> the town of K}}~~ku~ haele where there is commercial zoning. If <br /> it werent fofiat~he`"'i/ast Chance Store and the Waipio Valley <br /> Artworks I dont know what we would do. <br /> At my house because of traffic congestion I consistently have <br /> people parking on my lawn and partially blocking my driveway. <br /> This bothers me but I understand that the parking at the over- <br /> look is extremely limited and that there is no room left <br /> for additional parking. <br /> My neighbors the Rice's were forced to erect a chain link <br /> fence to keep the peddlars off their property and this is <br /> a neighborhood where we normally do not lock our doors. <br /> Above all, we, (you and I~, are charged with the responsibility <br /> to preserve the beauty and view of Waipio Valley. Please do <br /> not take your responsibility lightly. PLEASE BAN ALL PEDDLING <br /> AT//WA/IPIO VALLEY LOOKOUT. <br /> Alan H.
