REFERRALS:
Comm. 814: RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ACQUISITION OF
(Res. 271-00) PRIVATE PROPERTY, BEING A PORTION OF TAX MAP
KEY (3)2-2-027-044, SITUATE AT WAIAKEA, DISTRICT OF
SOUTH HILO, COUNTY AND STATE OF HAWAII, FOR
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF LANIKAULA
AND MANONO STREETS
From Deputy Corporation Counsel Gerald Takase, dated June 13,
2000, transmitting the above resolution.
Comm_81): REQUEST BY HOMEOWNERS OF KEHENA, PUNA
PALISADES AND SEAVIEW SUBDIVISONS TO PAVE
HIGHWAY 137 (KAPOHO-KALAPANA ROAD) WITH
REGULAR BLACK ASPHALT INSTEAD OF RED ASPHALT
Copy of letter to Mayor Stephen K. Yamashiro from Elisabeth
Olesen, dated June 12, 2000, based on the input of many
homeowners in the Kehena, Puna Palisades and Seaview
subdivisions, and because of the non-response from the Public
Works Department, requests that Highway 137 (Kapoho-Kalapana
Road) be paved with black asphalt.
Informs the road is narrow, winding and dangerous and is used by
tourists and locals because of its scenic beauty and to get to places
along the Puna Coastline. States there is a small group of people
who do not support the paving of Hwy. 137, and who have had
private meetings with the Public Works Department insisting that
red asphalt which was used years ago, be used. However, the road
has been patched with black asphalt.
Requests the Administration's support to proceed with the paving
by July I, 2000, at the lowest cost option and hopes Federal
funding for this project will not be lost.
