County Council
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS:
CONCERNS REGARDING BILL 129 AMENDING SOUTH KONA ZONE MAP COVERED BY
TMK; 8-1-9-18,19,21 AND PORTIONS OF 20, 22,23 AND 24.
Thank You for the opportunity to address the County Council and bring my concerns to you for
consideration.
The Council is concerned for the general welfare of its constituents and to advance the
county's needs.
In the Agricultural Project District application, page 7, under subtitle Standard: "Development
should be reviewed on the basis of total impact on the residents of the County, not only in
terms of immediate short run economic benefits." This is the reason that we are here today.
We are concerned about the impact on safety, especially of our children, the impact on the
rural nature of our neighborhood and the impact of noise and other unsettling events. These
will surely degrade our neighborhood if there are no restrictions on Mr. Norrie's requests. On
the same application, page 8, under the subtitle Policy: "The County shall encourage the
development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance
with the physical and social environments." I cannot see how, without further conditions, the
Agricultural Project District would encourage the maintenance of our community.
Using Ka'awaloa road for all traffic below the present subdivision would further the safety of
our children, maintain the rural nature of our neighborhood and maintain our local community.
Mr. Norrie has represented to the County, through his Attorney Sandra Schutte, in letters dated
May 29, 1997 that "...the road is also proposed to end in a cul-de-sac, in lieu of a stub-out
since there will not be any future roadway to connect to this private road." this was in
response to Mr. Galen Kuba's concern that "...this type of road would not support additional
lots in the future."
This proposal to the County, a written offer given twice to the County, once in a letter to the
Planning Director and to the Public Works Department is an offer which Mr. Norrie freely gave
to the County.
In order to address the concern of Galen Kuba that this road not support additional lots, I
respectfully request that the County Council require that, in Mr. Norrie's Attorney's words,
"there will not be any future roadway to connect to this private road" as a condition of approval
of his Agricultural Project District.
