for people walking and riding bikes. The shoulder is so narrow 2 people can not walk side by side. Bike riders have to stop their bikes or ride in the street when people are walking on the shoulder. Vehicular traffic has to veer into the center lane or into the opposite lane to avoid hitting people riding bikes or walking down the street. When people with young children are walking or ridding bikes the danger is even greater. This creates a public safety hazard and liability issues for all in the futurel A crosswalk with flashing lights would need to be installed at Ohia and Kino'ole streets so the public can safely cross the street as there is no crosswalk on Kino'ole Street between Puanako Street and Kawili Street. Shoulders need to be widened for public safety. 6. Drainage. We will follow plans and recommendations from professional engineer and hydrologist. My response. Mr. Nash, their engineer states in his report dated April 2, 2012 that the site has excellent drainage. He is using studies and computer models that are broad in scope and are not site selective. According to staff at Isemoto Contracting, Delima Drilling and from a USDA geologist extensive core samples would need to be taken from the site to determine if there are areas of blue rock or impervious plates of rock which would impact drainage. Health and safety issues can arise from their septic systems failing in times of heavy rains and flooding. My yard and my neighbors yard would be contaminated from raw sewage. I met some surveyors Mr. Nash hired to take some measurements at the site. The surveyors told me Mr. Winegar wants to remove some sections of the guard rail and retaining wall that was built in 2008 as his driveway is not wide enough to meet code due to the 6 ft set back the driveway has to be built away from the neighbors property. Removing a section of the wall may impact the entire wall if we were to have a major earthquake. Mr. Nash's surveyors also do excavation work and they informed me that core samples would need to be taken to try to determine the drainage at the site. Mr. Nash has not addressed ground water coming down from Waikea Uka and the issues that will arise from the ground water in times of rains and heavy flooding. My neighbor's property behind me and my property may take weeks to drain. It took over 4 months for water to drain from my property and the Winegar property after the Kinoo'ole Street improvements were installed in 2008. After presenting evidence to Hawaii County they took steps to resolve the issue. Even the best engineering designs are subject to human error. After completion of the project my yard was lowered by 2 ft. Once again Hawaii
