there, and those people come down, come by Manono, and come down, come down by Big
<br />Island Candy [sic]. They also park out on the road out there, so that helps to congest the area,
<br />too. I don’t think that the County has taken a look at this small, little neighborhood that has been
<br />there so long as we’re adding in all these commercial properties.
<br />
<br />And, I will say another thing. You know, Dr. Gutteling mentioned here that there’s no property
<br />available. Okay, well there’s no property available at this price, okay. The price of the property
<br />in this neighborhood is down because we have no infrastructure there, very little. The
<br />streetlights, my own streetlight right above my property was taken away. Okay, the streetlight
<br />on Hīnano has been, it’s moved, okay, so it’s not right there in the, in the street, in the cross,
<br />okay, and as I said in my letter here, how many streetlights, stoplights, no that was a streetlight
<br />above, I’m talking about. It’s moved down, okay. It’s not there at the corner. But, then also
<br />stoplights—there’s only a stoplight at Manono, and when you come down that road, when you’re
<br />coming either way, it, it all gets backed up there.
<br />
<br />So I, I humbly request that you take a look at what I’m talking about. I am not against growth,
<br />you know, at all. But I think in this area because the property sells cheaper, I think that a lot of
<br />people would like to get in there, okay, and put up—and they have. You know, Dr. Lee-Ching
<br />on the other end of Laukapa [sic] has had a beautiful place down there for years. I walk my dogs
<br />down there, or used to, walk my dogs around there. They’ve got a nice little parking lot. This
<br />facility that’s being proposed here, just look at the parking lot. Doesn’t matter that they’re
<br />turning right only, okay, it’s going to impact what’s going on up by Aloha Gas Station. So,
<br />whether I’m right or wrong, I could be wrong, I have studied this because it’s important to me,
<br />because I screwed up when Green Tour went in there, okay, by, by the request I made. I think
<br />that my request of really taking a real hard look at the traffic, at that building, at the sidewalks,
<br />you know, those pictures were very flattering, okay, up there, it’s--
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Ms. McCrary—
<br />
<br />MCCRARY: --yeah—who took those--
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Could you please use the, could you please use the mic and—
<br />
<br />MCCRARY: --oh I’m sorry—I’m sorry--
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: --and summarize, I’m going to have to ask you to summarize--
<br />
<br />MCCRARY: --okay the pictures were very flattering okay. They showed very, it was almost
<br />like it was wide angle. I don’t know whether it was or not, but there is not but about that much
<br />room on the sides of the road, okay, to get out of the way. And, I guess that’s all about all I want
<br />to say. I’m not really a public speaker. I think the letter, I took the time here. I beseech you to
<br />really, really take a look at this before you move forward on it. I don’t know that’s in the interest
<br />of this small aging community. I think that we have enough growth over there until everybody
<br />takes a real good look at the roads, okay?
