It is ludicrous to allow more <br /> expansion, s hen Kona is already choked to a standstill at least twice a day due to inadequate in&a- <br /> structure fo existing development. Clifto's site (http:/hvww.ooma-clifto.cotn/) uses language like this <br /> are my emphasis] <br /> ~ lururv hompl subdivislon~, condglrfinlum nrefen?c. <br /> and hsw ofhrad their afnifrtanee <br /> I! in fseliitetl the re-zonlnp. <br /> ~ " on the highly sought after KOhala Coast. Omen <br /> ' with the State of Mawail owning approximatety 8096 of <br /> the land o the famous 'Gold Coast', located from Kailua-Kona heading north approxlmatery <br /> 25 miles t Kawalhae Harbor. The approximate 500 acre 'Shores at Kohanaikl' Property(1.5 <br /> miles of o anfront) on the South side of this property is moving forward this year with an <br /> .They will have up to 50.4._ re I~gntial units and a Championship <br /> 18 hole gal course highlighted with six oceanfront holes. O'oma is the last large parcel on <br /> ~ the entire oast that is available. the vast majority of the land left has been devNoped and <br /> - establishing it es some of <br /> "The latlnq sonlny fo a P%iree Diatrlct dWgnstlon which will allow for up to 260 Hotel <br /> Rgo1HS, 3 Multi-Nmily Unit>t( O% d~rm~d nn-aih'AfPordabla Heu>tina') and 31aZ000 sa. <br /> i <br /> Three . <br /> 1. if daily c tie-ups are already the topic of many corrversarions in Kona, how can a project this <br /> siu do an to alleviate the problem? It will take more than adding two lanes to the highway to deal <br /> ;with this d of density. And <br /> 2. if May r Kim his vetoed this project, that doesn't sound like County approbation. Is Cliftds <br /> under the as umption that a majority of County Council members will override the mayor's veto? and <br /> 3. if wor, folks already have to drive out of these "luxury" areas on traflrc-choked roads to places <br /> where they an afford the rent, then such a development will ofaly exacerbate this situation. What is <br /> !deemed " ble" and by whom? The people who work in these developments cannot afford <br /> "affordable'", housing! They cannot even afford to rent in or near these arras. <br /> I' So, I say again, please uphold Mayor Kim's veto of Clifto's O'orna project! <br /> Mahalo a`nt~i, <br /> I~~~ <br /> Stephatue I~ Grout <br /> P.O.
