This azea of Hilo is a neighborhood in transition. When these residential lots were zoned for houses, <br /> Hilo was a small town and Punahele Street was on the outskirts with very little traffic. Since that time, <br /> Komohana Street has been extended, the County Jail has been expanded, the medical buildings have been built <br /> and the neazby Intermediate School and High School have grown in size. Now, Punahele Street is a very busy <br /> commercial area! <br /> The Punahele Professional Building was built in 1998 to service the medical needs of all our Island of Hawaii <br /> residents. In the last decade, the population of our Island has grown greatly and the medical needs of our <br /> community have exploded. This Medical Clinic must have more pazking in order to service the medical needs <br /> of Hawaii County. This is an Island wide issue and ALL CITIZENS of our County should be considered. <br /> While a YES VOTE by this Council will be a VOTE to all Citizens of Hawaii, the Punahele Professional <br /> Building Association of Owners is trying to work with and meet the needs of the four (4) houses that aze located <br /> in the middle of this busy commercial azea, stuck between a prison, two busy streets and our medical offices. <br /> In an attempt to be a good neighbor, Punahele Professional Building is willing to perform as follows: <br /> 1. With re-zoning, the subject property will remain fenced and not allow access to the lot or medical azea <br /> from Punahele Street. <br /> 2. With this Zoning change, all traffic to the azea will enter from Pu'uhonu Place, NOT PUNAHELE <br /> STREET, thereby reducing traffic on that very, very busy street by 20 cats. <br /> 3. With re-zoning, a six (6) foot high privacy vinyl fence will be installed along the property lines that aze <br /> common with ALL the Neighboring lot owners. This provides more privacy than these adjacent lot <br /> owners had when the lot was vacant and abandoned. <br /> 4. With re-zoning, the fencing will be secured at ground level to control caz fumes. <br /> 5. With re-zoning, the subject property will be used only between 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. <br /> 6. With re-zoning, the property will not be used at nights, on weekends or holidays. <br /> This offer has been given to all of the owners and residents of the adjacent properties. <br /> This azea of Hilo has grown and changed since the 1970's. This neighborhood was built adjacent to a lazge <br /> prison. Thousands of cars pass on the streets adjacent to these houses every day. It will never again be a quiet <br /> residential neighborhood on a dead end street. <br /> Please help support the Doctors and medical personnel who conduct their business in Hawaii County. Show <br /> them and our Island residents that you want them and their medical services to stay in Hawaii County. Support <br /> this re-zoning request of PUNAHELE PROFESSIONAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION OF OWNERS. <br /> Comm. No. ~ f Z <br /> Ref. Tor w?Ci ~ <br /> Rof. Date T D 3 2007 <br /> <br />
