Additionally, our records indicate NO archeological inventory survey has been <br /> conducted for the subject parcel. Thus with this stated,I oppose any further ground <br /> disturbances associated with development until a full investigation of the SLAB cover up. <br /> Throughout 2019 and into 2020, the prior owner cleared a lava tube, filled it with engineered <br /> fill and concrete, and redesigned the tube along with the building for potential differences in <br /> compaction. How was this allowed without lineal descendants being contacted? <br /> This area is of importance to the Hawaiian Royalty of Queen Emma and maps depicts her <br /> residence of this Ahupua'a. Kona regional history is associated with Umi a Liloa. <br /> Records of Pacific Monarch Resort Inc. noted records of the SLAB "BLD/foundation/Slab <br /> inspection" were conducted..since the inspection occurred after the building permit was <br /> issued, it is Not Clear whether those inspections were for that or the March 22, 2007 permit. <br /> Traffic: Where is the Traffic Impact Analysis? Given Ali'i Drive is within the High <br /> Hazard Evacuation Area. This site falls within the Civil Defense Tsunami Evacuation <br /> Zone. The shoreline is less than 300 feet from the lower portion of the subject site. <br /> We cannot handle any more development for one main reason are the Utility Poles with <br /> overload of the utility lines. <br /> We would not be able to evacuate, and we should definitely take seriously what occurred <br /> in Lahaina could happen here. I have heard many residents say this! <br /> Noted by Sid Fuke's letter of Nov. 10, 2023, to Zendo Kern <br /> In the event there is a need for evacuation, (wildfire, tsunami, or flood)there is sufficient <br /> evacuation warning. <br /> However, in the event of a locally generated tsunami... there would be little evacuation time, <br /> and regrettably, it would be. SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE AVOIDED! We know the <br /> problem ahead, SO DO NOT ADD TO THIS! <br /> The comments from the State of Hawaii Ka Moku'aina O Hawaii Commission of Water <br /> Resources Management of Oct. 19, 2023 addressed concerns: Coordination with Water Use <br /> and development plan. (while we have water, what about the broken wells in North Kona) <br /> Concerns to Stormwater management(with Climate change and so much grading above more <br /> flooding to Makai, Kuakini Hwy to Alii Drive) <br /> Recommend Hawaii Green Business Program. (Concrete large structures are just the opposite) <br /> Recommend adopting landscape as best management. (this is the only solution to save our <br /> Ocean) <br /> There is potential for ground or surface water degradation/contamination and recommend <br /> approval be reviewed by the State Dept. of Health. <br /> And lastly while the SMA app reports indicates the water commitment fees and facility <br /> fee have been paid to DWS,the Commission has concerns on whether existing DWS <br /> capacity can meet the additional proposed demand of 22,000 pd for this proposed <br /> project. <br /> Should any New Water source (wells) develop be necessary to meet this demand,the <br /> Commission has concerns about new Source development impacts to Any Native <br /> Hawaiian Traditional and Customary rights in the area as well as impacts to <br /> Groundwater dependent ecosystems that may be affected. New water source <br />
