Happy Holidays! <br /> Sid Fuke <br /> From: Greg Sherwin <gregtalkl@gmail.com> <br /> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2023 2:35 AM <br /> To: sidneyfuke@gmail.com <sidneyfuke@gmail.com> <br /> Subject: Public Hearing Protest regarding the proposed development plan by Kona Hawaii <br /> Development, LLC (TMK: 7K-8-018:011): "Residence Inn by Marriott". <br /> To Whom it May Concern, <br /> I am an owner of a condo,unit 310, at the Hale Kona Kai, located across Kahakai Road, and directly <br /> West of the subject property. <br /> Please register and respond to my concerns at the December 21st public hearing regarding the <br /> subject property. <br /> My concerns are: <br /> 1. The proposed increase in occupancy size from the previously approved 48 condo/hotel units to a <br /> 100 room hotel consisting of 91-room suites with a kitchenette and 9 standard guest rooms. This <br /> appears to more than double the occupancy capacity and parking demand. I request that a pedestrian <br /> and auto traffic impact study on Kahakai road be required and considered before approving this <br /> proposed plan. Owners of the Hale Kona Kai condominiums need reasonable access along Kahakai <br /> Road to our parking spaces. <br /> 2. This project will remove approximately 10 public parking spaces along Kahakai Road that our <br /> service people need for temporary parking to make repairs to Hale Kona Kai. <br /> 3. Safety concerns for pedestrians who typically walk on Kahakai Road because of a lack of <br /> sufficient sidewalks on parts of this narrow road, even with the proposed added sidewalk on the <br /> West side of the project. This project specifically proposes"...shifting traffic more to Kahakai <br /> Road". This road is already heavily used by cars, service trucks and pedestrians. <br /> Thank you for recording and reporting my concerns at this public hearing. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Greg Sherwin <br /> Neighbor and property owner impacted by this project. <br />
