My wife, Bonnie and I have lived on Kekuanaoa Place in Kona Vistas Subdivision for the past 4.5 years <br /> and it has been very peaceful except for a few issues. Currently this street is the only access to the Royal <br /> Vistas Development.There are 450 Units projected for Royal Vistas development which is more than the <br /> total units in whole Kona Vistas Subdivision.There are currently eight homes on Kekuanaoa Place and <br /> our street is to support the traffic from the entire Royal Vistas development. We live in the block of <br /> Kekuanaoa Place, which is a dead-end street, allowing for a minimum of traffic which will cease to be if <br /> this street is the main corridor for Royal Vistas. We are contesting the ten-year extension for the <br /> development of Royal Vistas. <br /> The congestion from construction workers vehicles parked on the street and additional vehicles from <br /> residents living in Royal Vistas will make the street extremely busy. This additional traffic will endanger <br /> children who live here and well as elderly people living on the street including ourselves. <br /> Noise will be a major issue as our home is within 100 feet of the Royal Vistas Development. Construction <br /> noise will be constant. Also, a swimming pool is projected within the entrance to Royal Vistas which <br /> would be no more than 150 feet from our home. Swimming pool noise is loud and continues late into <br /> the night. <br /> Wildlife would be endangered with this development.There are owls, hawks and other birds residing on <br /> the land currently. We have water catchment pans attached to our rain chains on our house eves to <br /> collect water for the flying birds since the rain fall is minimal here. We constantly fill these catchment <br /> pans, so the birds have a water source otherwise not available. We have attached a picture of an owl <br /> setting in our back yard. <br /> Cattle have been grazing on the land for as long as we have lived here.This property is not zoned <br /> agriculture but residential.The owner of the property claims they are not theirs, but he has not done <br /> anything to keep them off the property. In fact, he has allowed fences to be put up to contain the cattle <br /> within their property, but cattle have broken through several times endangering our property and lives. <br /> Flood waters flow down the mountain, in fact there were flood waters last week rushing down the <br /> mountain for an hour and caused flooding on Kuakini Highway. What are the plans to take care of the <br /> water flowing through their property? <br /> These are just some of the issues that would affect our lives living on Kekuanaoa Place in Kona Vistas. <br /> Again, we are against the ten-year extension for the development of Royal Vistas. <br /> Mahalo <br /> Robert D.
