I hav,? several concerns about this de~loument
I A.noiher light on the high~n~ay wdl back traffic up all the way to Lako St Each new light has caused additional traffic iiC--
ups. ~Ne currently back up to Hualalai at the Nani Kailua light: it takes 23 sequences to get thni that intersection- then we
stop-and-creep to Henry St. where it takes 2-5 sequences fo cross Henry St: then stop-and-creep to Palani. again 7_-3
sequences fo cress ~alanl; same thing at Makala 8~ the new light at :he PolicelDump Rd Traffic finally starts to mom a Gitlo.
but d~:~esn't really get going until you pass the Airpor, light. It used to lake me 4-8 min to dries from my home to tovar,
deoendi~~e rn time o; dav. day of week It nova takes 20-30 min to make that same top
2 Inadequate "fair-share" contributior~_ It is lasted rn the paper as 56.20E.06 per multi-fami~ unit to pars<s re_.
unprovements 8~. taaldies, ooGce. fire. solid waste. ~ road z?: traffic improvements. But ~0 for schools. There could potenUal!c
be 700+ chldren Ihnng in this de~nlopmeci ~Idhere a~°esh~;~ supposed to 0o to school? Kahakai is full. ihey'~ had to emci
thie c~ia,ter school from Choir facility because thee, need the s;~ace for all the additional childrn that other de~eiooments ha~~
brought iris deti,lot~ment needs to provide additional "fair share" iiuiding for schools IdeaLy they should txuld I:-v schools
w;thir the d.°~~loomeni so the chldren can wall. s:.;hool avithout havnn to cross any major thn.i roans

de~relopment d~u~~i r^ranv housinc! rsnits era allow=d co those .~a ~cels vihat ~radl the impact be on traffic, schools- parks, etc'
We have to atep looking at these de~reloements as though then exist Ir a racuum 8 vain hake no Impact upon the community
both Curren: r~~.ture. bur rather -as or~a element of a total plan ~ design nova for future impac~
Food for thought pG yr aco in i;alifornia de~lopments were being assessed
51,000 bedroom for schools. parks- loads. sev.~er?. police sr~. nee. erc I'm sure iYs much more today- At the venr least
you should add an additional "fair-sharc--" assessment for schools or require they build schools within their subdnnsien
