Richard Merschdorf <br /> 75-5816 Lewa Place <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 <br /> May 31, 2004 ~7 s <br /> O <br /> County Council c <br /> Attn: James Arakaki - <br /> 25 Aupuni Street _ <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Re: Bill #198 & #199 <br /> - t.:' <br /> Dear Mr. Arakaki: <br /> As a resident of Kailua View Estates, I find it very troubling that the County <br /> Council is considering granting approval to the subdivision project, Nani Kona <br /> Aina. This 43 lot subdivision is located at the top of Nani Kailua, the main <br /> thoroughfare through Kailua View Estates. With Nani Kailua as the only outlet <br /> roadway to the Queen Kaahumanu Highway, all additional traffic resulting from <br /> this subdivision will add to this already busy street. <br /> In addition, the developer, Mr. Dan Bolton, has agreed to improve Hienaloli Road <br /> over to Hualalai Road. This would be even more disastrous for our subdivision <br /> as traffic from Hualalai Road would use this road to access Nani Kailua Drive. <br /> Consider this: Hualalai Road is a narrow, windey road that accesses Queen <br /> Kaahumanu Highway at a dangerous intersection with only a stop sign. Nani <br /> Kailua Drive is a straight shot down to Queen Kaahumanu Highway at a traffic <br /> light. Any driver with common sense coming down Hualalai Road is going to go <br /> for the safer and easier drive down Nani Kailua Drive. <br /> This project and its design is a bad idea for all of the residents of Kailua View <br /> Estates. I strongly oppose its approval, and I urge you and your council <br /> members to oppose it. <br /> <br /> A final note is that this is not just one subdivision with 43 homes. In addition, the <br /> Gomes proiect (already approved) will add 15 new homes; the Welton proiect <br /> (approved) will add 17 new homes; and at the north end of Kakalina Street, there <br /> are another 12 homes being proposed. This will bring the total of new homes to <br /> 87 -all using Nani Kailua Drive. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Richard Merschdorf G f ~ $ SO <br /> Comm. No. <br /> Ref. To: t <br /> Ref.
