The water pressure and volume are low. 1 worry <br /> <br /> that in case of fire, our fire hydrants may not supply fire fighters with <br /> adequate water. <br /> In 1990, the WCJW told the County Planning Commission that they <br /> needed to sell part of their land to raise money for an overspend on their <br /> parking lot construction and for a new fire hydrant in front of the church, <br /> required by the fire department. In our recent meeting with the elders of <br /> <br /> the WCJW, they said they needed to raise money to pay off their building <br /> loan; they did not mention the fire hydrant. The WCJW have not been <br /> totally honest about the purpose of the rezoning and subdivision except <br /> that it is to raise money. We would all like to be able to raise more money <br /> for ourselves, but this is not reason enough for an agricultural lot to be <br /> <br /> rezoned against the wishes and best interests of the community. <br /> <br /> . According to transcripts of the 1990 Planning Commission hearing on <br /> rezoning this parcel, the WOW have been mandated to put a fire hydrant <br /> in front of their church. Where will they get the water for this fire <br /> hydrant? There is not enough water for the existing residents of Paukaa. <br /> <br /> It does not seem that the Department of Water Supply has taken into <br /> account all the new demands on the community's water supply. <br /> <br /> The proposed shape of the sub-divided lot (a flag lot) is not acceptable <br /> to me. The proposed driveway to the new lot might not be paved. If not, it <br /> <br /> may raise dust in adjacent homes and may spill dirt and mud onto Kulana <br /> Road. If the driveway is paved, it will certainly introduce more water <br /> into the drainage ditch on the property. This drainage ditch is already <br /> overburdened. Currently the ditch is lined with trees planted by the <br /> WCJW. These trees are desirable as a visual and acoustic barrier between <br /> the church and the homes in the community. A driveway to access the <br /> <br /> proposed new lot would require removal of some of these trees. This <br /> would increase the negative impact the church has on the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> I appreciate the opportunity this to express my views on this subject. <br /> I hope the Hawaii County Council will DENY extension of the time limit on <br /> finalizing the sub-division and therefore NOT allow the rezoning to occur. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Joanne L Griffin <br />
