Dear Plantung Commission, D~ a, /g• 99
As a former rosidern and frequent traveler to Hilo, and oa behalf of my
mother. Myra Keliipio, sad others from the Pamewa Hawaiian Homes
subdivision who stir the sabdimision from Kahaopes Street onto
Kanoelehaa and/or cross Kanoekhua Aram Kahaopea Street, I wrnild
Lice to express my concxrra over the unendanems requested by the
applicant, Finance Holdings. Ltd.
I am not a trai$c engineea~, but I think anyone using Kahaopea Street to
enter OI pnt>bC Ilawatl8n Honam subdiwston, will gwckly realms fltiat ~r ~ A
ffiere will be a very aig0i$riut traffic impact apoa carr•mt users of
Kahaopea Street resulting from the commercial developrneat by Einsnce _
HoLliugs,Ltd. r
I bctieve tbst the Traffic Amlyss Report and possibly the Awapahi Sd
set conneeHon =i
wet+e required under the ariginai development conditions for very good safety and
l
Therefore, I strongly art;e that you not delete there two carrent conditlons
u~l yon consuh with a~ get edaaated by a smart and unbiased traffic
~gineer. In other words, please pmtpoae your decislou a¦til attar yon brave
been properly edaated. You commissioners are not traffic etrgineers so this
would be the most ptrrdeat thing to do oa behalf of oar safely and to save the
wunty from say Arptre lawsaib.
Additionally, I can foresee some frightening traffic accidems and some potential lawsuits
if you grant this developer direct aeons o~ TCanoelehua Avenue without addressing the
safety of those from tin subdivision chat wrU be etme[ing (both turning oho m crossing)
ICenoelehoa Aveane from Kabaopes Street Therebore, before you allow this developer
m ptooeed wid? this project, please lmeaU a trade light aY the intersectba of
Kanoelehna and Kahaopa 5tttu;t. It is ray imdecstaading that the county is already
planning to install a ttatllc light at this intersection, so please orrice it a top prior[ty soon
even co»stnwKioa traff
c from this development will be a hazard to me, my mom
there from the Hawaiian Homes subdivision that use Y.abaopea Street
I yon 'ously all that I have said
-you,
