Mr. Arakakai,
Please circulate this to the County Council in Reference to Bill 50, in connection with the Public
Hearing coming up on Thursday, December 30, regarding the new SCD Kahakai Subdivision.
We are homeowners on Leone Street in the Komohana subdivision, just two doors away from
Lako Street
We are requesting the County Council to require the developers of the SCD Kahakai Subdivision
to adhere to the previous plans and requirements that they put in a mauka-makai connector
through their subdivision. If you do not require them to follow this, all the cars, both residents and
visitors, from their 100-plus subdivision homes will use Lako Street and/or Kupuna and Royal
Poinciana Streets to get to Alii Drive or the new Alii Highway. The traffic at the stoplight at Lako
and Queen K is already congested at peak times. The additional traffic should be able to be
distributed to several different mauka-makai connectors, not just focused into Lako and Royal
Poinciana.
In response to the developer's concern that it is "too steep" to add an additional road- since we all
live on the slopes of Hualalai, all our mauka-makai connectors are steep, Lako and Royal
Poinciana just as much as the new road would be.
We feel it is in the community's best interests to have as many mauka-makai connectors as
possible, both for safety and to relieve the traffic burden on any one or two.
We also understand the developer now wants to have utilities overhead and exposed, as
opposed to the initial plan, which called for underground utilities. We believe that the utilities
should be underground, to help preserve the beauty and ambiance of our entire area. This will
also make the subdivision more attractive to potential purchasers.
Respectfully submitted,
Brock J. Hylton M/~aryAnn Hylton
