171COUNC:a. C_)kim, 655 7r7 C: SAM COOPER PO BOX 7730 HILO, HAWAII 96720 PHONE/FAX 808-969-6833 E-MAIL iMMCOOPEP VIATJANTFi.i'El 09-17-2012 Dear Hawaii County Council, Regarding rezoning (Bi11178) RS10 to RM-3, TMK3/2-2-038:17. Our Kino'ole Street neighborhood from Kawili Street to Puanako Street want this zoning to be denied. Traffic and the danger to public safety is the main reason. The road is narrow. There are no sidewalks so people can walk and bike with safety. The old time residents who have lived here for 60 or more years think it is a bad site. Another thing to consider is how unsafe the apartment complex would be for the tenants entering and exiting the complex and walking or riding bikes down the street. Another 90 the maximum amount of people that could reside at the complex plus their guests and 34 cars will increase the danger to all. Everyone agreed that sidewalks be installed and a crosswalk at Ohia Street with flashing lights be installed before any more development of any kind be granted other than single family dwellings. Public safety and our quality of life for all is what are neighborhood strives for. Perhaps the entire County Council should take a walk as a group on Kino'ole Street from Kawili Street to Puanako Street walking down on both sides of the street around 4:00PM or so to see for yourself how unsafe Kino'ole Street is and to also take a look at how unsafe the ingress and egress at the site is. The petition states our position. There are 82 signers on the petition. I was able to visit maybe half of the homes as people were gone or the property was fenced and gated. I made a map that shows Kino'ole Street from Kawali Street to Puanako Street that shows where 35 homes are located. The map did not show the rest of the property addresses. Comm.
