This azea of Hilo is a neighborhood in transition. When these residential lots were zoned for houses, Hilo was a small town and Punahele Street was on the outskirts with very little traffic. Since that time, Komohana Street has been extended, the County Jail has been expanded, the medical buildings have been built and the neazby Intermediate School and High School have grown in size. Now, Punahele Street is a very busy commercial area! The Punahele Professional Building was built in 1998 to service the medical needs of all our Island of Hawaii residents. In the last decade, the population of our Island has grown greatly and the medical needs of our community have exploded. This Medical Clinic must have more pazking in order to service the medical needs of Hawaii County. This is an Island wide issue and ALL CITIZENS of our County should be considered. While a YES VOTE by this Council will be a VOTE to all Citizens of Hawaii, the Punahele Professional Building Association of Owners is trying to work with and meet the needs of the four (4) houses that aze located in the middle of this busy commercial azea, stuck between a prison, two busy streets and our medical offices. In an attempt to be a good neighbor, Punahele Professional Building is willing to perform as follows: 1. With re-zoning, the subject property will remain fenced and not allow access to the lot or medical azea from Punahele Street. 2. With this Zoning change, all traffic to the azea will enter from Pu'uhonu Place, NOT PUNAHELE STREET, thereby reducing traffic on that very, very busy street by 20 cats. 3. With re-zoning, a six (6) foot high privacy vinyl fence will be installed along the property lines that aze common with ALL the Neighboring lot owners. This provides more privacy than these adjacent lot owners had when the lot was vacant and abandoned. 4. With re-zoning, the fencing will be secured at ground level to control caz fumes. 5. With re-zoning, the subject property will be used only between 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. 6. With re-zoning, the property will not be used at nights, on weekends or holidays. This offer has been given to all of the owners and residents of the adjacent properties. This azea of Hilo has grown and changed since the 1970's. This neighborhood was built adjacent to a lazge prison. Thousands of cars pass on the streets adjacent to these houses every day. It will never again be a quiet residential neighborhood on a dead end street. Please help support the Doctors and medical personnel who conduct their business in Hawaii County. Show them and our Island residents that you want them and their medical services to stay in Hawaii County. Support this re-zoning request of PUNAHELE PROFESSIONAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION OF OWNERS.

The Association of Owners is made up of many owners who provide medical services in our community. Unfortunately, due to the population growth in our community, business is booming for our medical providers. With this growth is the need for more parking at the Punahele Professional Building. IF Punahele Professional Building is allowed to use this lot for parking the Association agrees to: 1) Install a vinyl fence between the back of your lot and the current parking lot in order to better provide privacy to your lot. 2) Only use the new parking area during working hours only, Monday thru Friday. 3) Provide security for the area during the nights and weekends. In short the Punahele Professional Building Association of Owners wants very much to work with you, our neighbors.

The Association of Owners is made up of many individuals who provide medical services in our community. Unfortunately, due to the population growth in our community, business is booming for our medical providers. With this growth is the need for more parking at the Punahele Professional Building. IF Punahele Professional Building is allowed to use this lot for parking the Association agrees to: 1) Continue to keep the vacant lot fenced by installing a vinyl fence between your property and the vacant lot. The fence will be the same as the vinyl fence on the back of the lot. This fence will extend the entire length of the property and extend to the ground to help provide complete privacy and protect you from automobile fumes. 2) Plant nice foliage along the fence line to provide you more privacy. These plantings would be on our property and could be on either side of the vinyl fence, depending on your wishes. 3) The parking area will only be used during working hours only, Monday thru Friday. 4) Provide security for the area during the nights and weekends. We continue to be very interested in purchasing your property. We asked for an extension of this hearing in order to continue to work with his family on the purchase of you property.
