RE: Maliu Ridge Development
North Kohala Land Company
Removal Of Roads
Dear Councilpersons:
My name is Keoni Smith and I was a partner in buying a lot in Maliu (we
have since sold
our lot). I very recently heard about the request by the new
owners of Maliu 3 to eliminate the promised connector road towards the
bottom highway.
When we bought our lot, we considered the future road an asset to the Maliu
community for safety and convenience reasons. Now the new owner is
saying the road is too expense. That's too bad; we and others bought
because of the promised road and then this guy comes along and says "Oh,
it's too expensive!" Well he bought it with that attached baggage. All you
council people are doing is adding more profit to this guy's bank account by
removing the road for him. What does the neighborhood get in return? No
one is going to spend millions of dollars knowing that they might lose
millions because of a simple road. Did anyone ask these guys for some cost
figures or are you just going based on their good word?
If the road is really too expensive, how about they pay to pave the existing
County dirt roads into the subdivision ?? I think one road is located right in
front of Mr. Prohoroff's house and it leads out of Maliu ridge to Hawi road.
There's also another road that leads out to Route 250 that's County owned
and partly paved. How about the developer fix -up those roads?
Please don't just give these guys something for nothing. You're supposed
to look out for the interests of the community in general; not developers
specifically.
Thank You,
Comm. No. 3 7S, 003
