From: KC Stallsmith <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Opposition to Kaupulahi Land LLC projects <br /> Date: Thursday,July 6,2023 11:18:41 AM <br /> My name is Kathryn Stallsmith and I live on Kaula ili Place, directly across the highway from <br /> the proposed development and I OPPOSE all applications submitted by Kaupulehu Land <br /> LLC. <br /> I do not believe we need, nor do I want more commercial space in Waimea, especially at the <br /> entry to town where the traffic risks are great. 19,000 square feet of commercial space is <br /> overbuilding the lot. In addition, I don't support turning agricultural land into commercial or <br /> residential lots. We have enough of that happening already, and this will only promote more <br /> loss of ag land. <br /> I am asking the planning committee to reject these applications. <br /> The proposal is a greedy idea by a developer and not in the best interest of the community. <br /> Can you imagine what might happen if Waimea's Agricultural land was all able to be rezoned <br /> to commercial land? The entire fabric of our community will change. The proposal of this <br /> development sets a dangerous precedent that other Ag lots might be able to be rezoned to <br /> commercial use. <br /> I own a business, CrossFit AllStar LLC just 300 meters down the road from this proposed <br /> development. We're located at 64-1032 Mamalahoa Hwy. Each day in the morning between 6- <br /> 9am and afternoons from about 3:30-6pm it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to turn left out of my <br /> business in order to go home. I usually sit for many minutes waiting for an opening in traffic <br /> which never comes. I usually end up turning right, then make a U-turn down Kinohou Street, <br /> then head home. There is SO MUCH TRAFFIC. <br /> On top of that. I ride my bike and walk SO MUCH in this town because I like to get exercise, <br /> and it's simply not safe. There are not enough sidewalks or bike lanes. If you add more <br /> commercial activity to the area of town proposed, it will become even more of a danger to <br /> pedestrians. <br /> I strongly oppose it. <br /> KC Stallsmith <br /> * Owner * Motivator <br /> kcaa crossfitallstar.com * 808.357.7851 * cross fital I star,com <br /> Have an AIIVtar day! <br /> Included in the list of"11 Best CrossFit Gyms in America"by Self Magazine July/Aug. <br /> 2016 <br />
