August 11, 2011 <br />Office of the Planning Department <br />County of Hawaii — Aupuni Center <br />101 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />To Whom it May Concern: <br />RE: Sonomura Rentals, LLC <br />TMK: (3) 2-2-048-010, 120,121,122,123 <br />Request: Change of Zone from Agriculture 3 to Family -Agricultural 1-a <br />I am writing to strongly express my opposition to Sonomura's request. I presently reside <br />and operate an agricultural nursery at 165 Makalika Street. The incoming traffic from the <br />Puna district has always been a nightmare on Kanoelehua Avenue. It is very hazardous <br />and has forced myself and many of my neighbors to use Railroad Avenue to go to work, <br />etc., since it is virtually impossible to use Kanoelehua as an exit. We are now <br />experiencing an increase in traffic on Railroad Avenue with the added development of <br />Target, Safeway, Starbucks and Walgrens. This Change of Zone will only add to the <br />traffic problems. We want to keep the Zoning Agriculture 3-a. We have no opposition <br />to Sonomura subdividing his property but keep it Agriculture 3-a. I don't see how <br />anyone can truly use only 1 acre for agriculture. To me, this endeavor is not for <br />agriculture but strictly residential in nature. <br />Sincerely, <br />David R. Shiigi <br />Bromeliads Hawaii <br />cc: All Aina Services <br />
