other owners, that if there is, if there was a way to get a light there, to keep the parking at a
<br />minimum, because this is -. I could go on and on with how many times people have -. You
<br />know, they come up from town, they stop, they make their deals, and they go back downtown
<br />because it's just a few minutes away. So if some concern was put to that, that would be
<br />wonderful.
<br />The second thing is that somehow this property now is in, you know, three different owners
<br />and there may be all kinds of SMA things that don't have to be applied for because of that, and
<br />things, all kinds of things happening because of that. Meanwhile, the access here, what isn't
<br />being said, we've been waiting years, and I am not a protestor sort of person, we've been
<br />waiting most of a lifetime, what it seems like now, for Lako Street to go through, that never
<br />has. So it seems like whatever reason the loopholes that Lako Street is being given to not
<br />make this, their part go through, now may just move farther down the street. This may be one
<br />of the most dangerous, you know, now one of the top dangerous sub -, intersection places in
<br />Kona.
<br />And Kona Orchards, it was developed in an older style, let's say. After 15 years, the owners
<br />discovered that it wasn't even finalized subdivision, we bought our lots and it wasn't even
<br />finalized. Our street, which see it's not part of these guys, so this would be something for Ki
<br />or Highway people or somebody, I don't know, to be aware of. Our street, I'm sure it's a
<br />substandard grade when you come to the intersection. This is hundreds of feet from here,
<br />okay, this is not -. It's 700 feet to Hienaloli, so this is a couple hundred feet from here. So
<br />what's happening, Kona Orchards comes down to Huallai Road and after a little rain, the oil
<br />comes up on the road, the cars slide into the road. Now this is a regular event. Meanwhile,
<br />there's a blind curve right there. The blind curve is just far enough away that the mirrors
<br />don't help at all. Now I've been riding this road for 33 years, okay. I'm telling you, there are
<br />close calls daily at our intersection. This is not an exaggeration. Daily, there are close calls of
<br />people coming out. Turning left from Kona Orchards onto the road is almost impossible.
<br />Now on the makai side of the road, there are monkeypod trees, okay. My concern is as the
<br />road gets realigned, there be some concern. Now after years of years of discovering that our
<br />subdivision didn't have a final approval, and we'd been living there for years, a drainage ditch
<br />went in. You know, the road, the streets in there weren't finalized, okay. So a drainage
<br />culvert was put in. It was put in off center by enough feet that when the water comes down
<br />Kona Orchards, okay, it doesn't go into that drainage ditch, it washes everything out on the
<br />road. Then to add to it, of course, we were allowed up Lolo Lane, several more houses now
<br />attached through Kona Orchards. So the point I'm trying to make about this is that what's
<br />being created here, it's feet away from their place, okay. So some concern. If the monkeypod
<br />trees have to go out and the road is realigned, that's wonderful, but I'm just, somebody needs
<br />to be brought to this attention.
<br />And I think the -, you know, the last thing would be that this stuff somehow, and this is no
<br />fault, I'm not trying to accuse the -, these people are not the same, but in Kona Orchards,
<br />we've had bulldozers going nonstop for four years. Thanksgiving, we have them with lights at
<br />5
