My husband and I are residents of Hawi and have lived on Hoea Road since 1999. <br />We are NOT IN FAVOR of this zoning change, and have a number of reasons why. <br />We are a rural neighborhood. There are already traffic issues at this intersection of Hoea and <br />Akoni Pule Hwy, we will only have more issues with the introduction of a commercial food truck <br />business, with Porta-Potties, dining table, parking, foot traffic as well as vehicle traffic. This is a <br />remnant lot, I don't believe it is even large enough to be re -zoned to commercial, not to mention <br />the food trucks and everything that goes with it. <br />Mr Cravalho is NOT a good steward of the land parcels he has already purchased here in Kohala, <br />and has come very close to extorting and antagonizing his neighbors to get his way. <br />We used to have a beautful Welcome to Kohala area, but since he bought it, he's fenced it off, let <br />the trees die, let the weeds go wild and it saddens me every day that visitors and residents alike <br />are affronted with his neglect every day. I don't expect his attitude will improve if granted a re- <br />zoning permit. <br />His idea of putting a food truck, tables and port -a -potties at the entrance to our beloved Kohala <br />is maddening and totally without vision, except for his own pocketbook. But, it will affect all of <br />the residents on Hoea road adversely. <br />We have read Mr Endresons and The Resource Centers objections to this re -zoning application <br />and we agree with all of their objections. <br />There is mention of streetlights, traffic lights, sidewalks and other infrastructure that would be <br />required of Mr Cravalho to implement for this kind of operation, and I see that he is not willing to <br />do any of it. Which is good, we DONT want any of that, but it is also typical of Mr Cravalho to <br />shirk responsibility and still demand his needs be fulfilled. <br />Please do not grant this zoning change. This is not the right place for the business he wants, and <br />I'm sure you will find that the community does not support it either. <br />Mahalo, Kristi Kranz and Jack Hutchings <br />1 <br />
