We are not opposed to traditional and customary native Hawaiian <br />rights being exercised on our land. <br />PUBLIC ACCESS <br />There is no existing public access to and along the shoreline or to mountain areas. <br />DESCRIPTION OF ACCESS <br />Access to the subject site is via State and County roads. Thus no road improvements <br />would be required to service the requested use. The Pahoa - Kalapana State Highway <br />(Highway 130), then the County roads to Kalapana Seaview Estate would serve as the <br />principal access to the facility. The overall road condition comports to county standards is <br />24 feet wide with 10 -foot setbacks. There are two ways to access these properties, both <br />are paved to the lot. The first is via Kamoamoa Homestead Road in Kalapana Seaview <br />Estate subdivision to the easement access to lot TMK 1 -2 -9 -034. The second is via West <br />Pohakupele Loop in Kalapana Seaview Estate subdivision to lot TMK 1-2-038-050. <br />Both lots are owned by the Village Green Society Ltd. Throughout the property the <br />access road is graveled, as is the parking lot. <br />TRAFFIC IMPACTS <br />Traffic Flow <br />• School: Presently less than 40 students attend. Approximately 15 children arrive <br />by school van, 10 children reside in the immediate neighborhood and walk or ride <br />bikes, 15 students arrive by car, some carpool. We are requesting an amendment <br />to eventually allow the school to increase to 75 students. We do not expect this <br />increase to occur for several years. <br />• Farmers Market: We estimate about 150 cars on Saturdays from lam until 1 pm. <br />18 <br />
