RIEGER: Okay. UNGER: — but, but this is your opportunity, again, to talk about possible impacts to you and to your community. RIEGER: Okay, that’s fine. I want to call your attention to the map here. I actually have another map that you didn’t show; it’s this one here. It’s a little bit different. Like I say, I live in a gated community, and that means we have a gate, I pay dues. The reason for the gate is to keep people out that we don’t want in there. And this is going to be a threat to us because there is going to be an open passageway into our community. This yellow road here actually does exist right now. It’s not paved but it’s dirt, and people do use it. There’s cars that go down and they try to get onto Ali‘i Drive but there is a gate there. Well, this development will take that gate off, and once do, the people can travel up that yellow road. And that road actually continues on up, and you’ve left out the Kahakai Estate area, which is where the applicant’s site plan is. And that would be an open road right into our development. It shows a bin there, but it actually keeps going. And if you put a curb, people are going to drive over it, which they do now. So with thousands of people coming into here, it’s going to be a threat to our community unless something is done there to block that road so that people can’t continue on and get right into our community. A better map is this one here. It hasn’t been up on the slides, but it actually shows that road continuing right into Kahakai Estates. So the answer would be a block wall across there that would keep all that traffic out of our development. Right now, it’s, it’s a problem, with mopeds, bicycles, motorcycles, people on foot, they can use that passageway and get through down on Ali‘i through that gate. But once that gate comes off, it’s an open, open road right into our, our development. And, like I say, the road is there now, it’ll be improved obviously with pavement, but it can be used. So that is my concern. UNGER: Great. Thank you. RIEGER: Thank you. UNGER: Thank you. MCMICHAEL: Aloha. UNGER: Aloha. MCMICHAEL: My name is Simmy McMichael and I’m a resident of Kailua-Kona. UNGER: Thank you. MCMICHAEL: I’m here today to ask you not to extend this. The reason is because all the information is pretty much dead here. I read the EA of 2008, and it all related to the proposed Kahului to Keauhou Parkway, and I’m pretty sure this is why it was approved back then. So, based on Zone 4, it’s Hualālai, and that’s a risk of a major earthquake damage; this is stated on Page 11 of the EA. And the water quality important goal, Page 13, coastal water, was, “Preservation of water quality is an important goal, even in this urban area …. However, the 20 EXHIBIT A
