Dear Councilmember Higa:
Subject: Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation

State Land Use District Boundary Amendment (SLU 05-000007) and
Change of Zone (REZ 05-000028) Applications
T VM: 5-5-8: 46 (portion)
We apologize for our late submittal of comments on the subject project.
We support Condition D (Access to Akom Pule Highway, also known as Hawi-Niulii Road-
including the provision of adequate sight distances shall meet with the approval of the State
Department of Transportation) and Condition E (Install streetlights, signs and markings meeting
with the approval of the State Department of Transportation) contained in the Planning
Commission's recommendation report to the developer. We also want to offer the following
additional comments:
1. The project site is on a 15 acre portion of a 31 acre parcel. We request that a master plan
for the entire parcel be provided for our review that includes the interior roadway system.
Any further development of the remaining portion of the parcel will require the Traffic
Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) to be updated or revised to reflect the cumulative impact
of development. The updated TZAR should be submitted for our review and approval.
2. The applicant should establish a 10-foot planting screen easement abutting Akoni Pule
Highway along the makai side of the subject project.
3. No additional storm water runoff from the project will be allowed onto the State's
right-of-way (ROW).
