The more people walk, the less they will drive and congest the highway. 2) According to good planning practices, low density housing SHOULD NOT be built within the urban core and within walking distance of shopping and commercial centers. I understand that Mr. Carr is building approx. 50 low density homes on one-acre lots. Low density housing fails to maximize the use of the land and fails to place more housing where housing belongs. Please ask Mr. Carr to increase the density of his one-acre lots to at least twice as many homes as is currently planned. 3) Since Mr. Carr's current access to his property was an understood fact before the people of Malulani moved in, Mr. Carr should be allowed to keep the access. Good planning practices calls for road and walkway interconnectivity between subdivisions within the urban core. The more connections the better. However, if Mr. Carr is allowed or required to increase the density of his homes, then please ask him to build a roadway to Palani Road only. Mahalo, Josephine Keliipio Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740 Comm.
