Repository of Especially Sacred Lands, protected by Akua along with ALL of the <br /> lands from Kaloko through Honaunau, with a moratorium on development for these <br /> lands. <br /> Certainly, with the Community developing an understanding of the irreplaceable <br /> antiquities that are being lost by reckless development, the expectation is reasonable <br /> that these 2 parcels, TMK 7-6-021 016 and TMK 7-6-021 017, which have much <br /> cultural significance as well as a number of archaeological artifacts that <br /> have yet to be studied fully and must be preserved. Regardless, NO FINAL <br /> DECISION is appropriately made BEFORE the report of the Action Committee of the <br /> Kona Community Development Plan for the General Plan Land Use Guide has been <br /> completed, as was also the position given to Kona Three LLC in 2021 by then-mayor <br /> Harry Kim. <br /> Please see the letter, Mayor Harry Kim's "Comments For Early Consultation for <br /> Environmental Assessment for Proposed Royal Vistas Housing Project for the TMKs <br /> in question", attached for your easy access, focusing your attention on the paragraph <br /> numbered "2". <br /> Will a sewage hook-up to serve 450 2 and 3 story, 3-4 bedroom units <br /> overwhelm the capacity of the Kealakehe Septic System? What will 3 to 4 <br /> bedrooms x 250 (here I've used just a fraction of the 450 units) of children <br /> added to our schools? <br /> We know that Rainwater and Landscaping runoff will be an issue after the <br /> repeated flooding of Kuakini below these TMKs. Last week's washout was <br /> only Holualoa Rainfall: Kona Vistas saw no rain that day-yet the 2 streams <br /> on these 2 parcels became rushing white-water. <br /> We note that in recent history, we've already had multiple months of water <br /> supply restrictions. The developer states that as he has pre-paid for 450 <br /> water supply hook-ups, he will build 450 units. With Kona consistently at <br /> some level of Drought, will we further increase the incidence of grass fires <br /> or create the possibility for house fires in this closely spaced "Housing- <br /> Project" as Kona Three LLC has chosen to characterize it? Is a <br /> housing project like this in keeping with the Kona where we choose to <br /> live? Is it really what Kona needs? <br /> Yet, our biggest concern with the creation of this development "Royal <br /> Vistas Housing Project " must be with the inadequate highway <br /> infrastructure. Will the County of Hawaii insist that the developer complete <br /> all his required ingress/egress to Queen K before the construction <br /> machinery tears-up Kekuanaoa Place? Will the County of Hawaii hold a <br /> substantial builder's bond until the project has met the County's <br /> requirements? <br /> Undoubtedly, as the intersection at Lako and Kuakini has already received <br />
