DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: KC Stallsmith <KC@crossfitallstar.com> <br /> Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2023 11:15 AM <br /> To: LPCtestimony <br /> Subject: Opposition to Kaupulahi Land LLC projects <br /> My name is Kathryn Stallsmith and I live on Kaula ili Place, directly across the highway from the proposed development <br /> and I OPPOSE all applications submitted by Kaupulehu Land LLC. <br /> I do not believe we need, nor do I want more commercial space in Waimea, especially at the entry to town where the <br /> traffic risks are great. 19,000 square feet of commercial space is overbuilding the lot. In addition, I don't support turning <br /> agricultural land into commercial or residential lots. We have enough of that happening already, and this will only <br /> promote more 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. Can you imagine what might <br /> happen if Waimea's Agricultural land was all able to be rezoned to commercial land?The entire fabric of our community <br /> will change. The proposal of this development sets a dangerous precedent that other Ag lots might be able to be <br /> rezoned to commercial use. <br /> I own a business, CrossFit AIIStar LLC just 300 meters down the road from this proposed development. We're located at <br /> 64-1032 Mamalahoa Hwy. Each day in the morning between 6-9am and afternoons from about 3:30-6pm it is nearly <br /> IMPOSSIBLE to turn left out of my business in order to go home. I usually sit for many minutes waiting for an opening in <br /> traffic which never comes. I usually end up turning right, then make a U-turn down Kinohou Street, then head home. <br /> 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, and it's simply not safe. <br /> There are not enough sidewalks or bike lanes. If you add more commercial activity to the area of town proposed, it will <br /> become even more of a danger to pedestrians. <br /> I strongly oppose it. <br /> KC Stallsmith <br /> * Owner * Motivator * <br /> kc@crossfitallstar.com * 808.357.7851 * crossfitallstar.com <br /> Have an AIIStar day! <br /> Included in the list of"11 Best CrossFit Gyms in America"by Self Magazine July/Aug. 2016 <br /> 1 <br />
