To whom it may concern: May 06, 2003
I am the owner of 2 three-acre pazcels on "G" road in the back of Hawaiian Acres
subdivision. I am writing this letter out of me deep concern over the closure of the
"public" emergency access road. I have two small children, and I can speak from fast
hand experience that should there be a fire or flood, we are literally trapped. This is a
very uneasy feeling to have to live with everyday. My husband has severe allergies, last
time we had to call 911 we had to drive four and a half miles before intercepting the
ambulance on "8" road! My husband almost stopped breathing! My children are showing
signs of these allergic reactions themselves. What happens next time I have to call 911?
As a taxpayer I am aghast at the amount of money spent for a subdivision of 600 people,
{close to three million dollazs). It's no wonder the county is always in the red. I would
also like to inform you that Ainaloa has never taken responsibility for their own road.
Hawaiian Acres Association and The County of Hawaii have both paid to have the road
paved. Would they have taken caze of it if they had paid for it themselves? That leaves
me with just one question...is the County intimidated by someone?
Mayor Harry Kim, the former Civil Defense Administrator, surely knows about the
dangers of not having an emergency exit. You can look back to the old tax map keys of
the ] 960's and see that there has always been an emergency fire exit out of the back of
Hawaiian Acres...over thirty years ago. Back then they had more common sense, and
less red tape. I would have no problem with the gate, as long as the Ainaloa Subdivision
reimburses the taxpayers, so we can make a road elsewhere. Sounds to me Ainaloa was
given a lot of money, with NO responsibility. As a taxpayer I would like to actually drive
on the road WE PAID FOR Instead, I will have to drive the thirty extra miles everyday

just to get to my job in Pahoa, not to mention the added expense of gas, time, and the
wear and tear on my vehicle. I was not able to attend the meeting today; I was busy at
work paying more taxes for you to squander.
