Re: Request to Kill Bill 54
Dear Chairman Ikeda and COSmcil Member,
After reviewing Rill S4, TAaft 2, Condition G, we are not in a position to be able to agree
to any of these conditions. The financial hardships it would bring to us and, the
uncertainty of the economy prohibits us from continuing our attempt to rezone.
We feel we have complied with Condition G (1) as an existing approved driveway under
the old IIawaii County Code, Chapter 22 and fact it should remokn "as is." tt also appears
that we meet current Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22, Division 3, Section 22,4,8.(b)
which states All driveway approaches shall be constructed in accordance with this
Chapter EXCEPT for those County streets that do not have curbs and sidewalks and are
fully paved from the lateral line of the roadway up to the property line. Our property
does comply with this exception.
We feel we have also complied with Condition G (2), G (3) anti r T (5) regarding sight
distance as explained in current Hawaii County Cock, Ardclc 2, Section 22-2.2.(a) which
states To preserve adequate vehicular sight distance at intersections formed by two or
more County streets, no object with a height between three feet and eight feet above the
nearest surface of the County street shall be allowed within the area defined by the chord
of un arc ha%,itg a radius of thirty feet from the intersection of property lines or their
extensions that fort the intersection.
We continue to oppose any dedication of our property, Condition G (4) as did the
Planting Commission in our February 19, 2009 hearing when they deleted this condition
from its recommendation. Their comments were Dedication of our lmnd is arbitmry
and capricious at best. They don't know what is going to happen with Karnanu Street.

7bey are uffidng about "would be, could be, should be." The landowners should not
c--ry (be fuxanciak burden when it is not known what is going to happen. Lt's a pie in the
slQy.
We do not feel that the slight upgrade from ML to MCXjusflftes a loss of property and
investment for us.
If after reviewing our comments, the Council Members agree that Condition G must
remain as part of Bill 54, we are respectfully requesting that Bill 54 is killed.
Our phone number is 987-9719 if you bave any questions or comments. We may also be
reached at fax 334-1956 or email cram u(d1mac.cnnj.
