Placing another building on the main highway far <br />out of the town center does not serve. Currently the last <br />time I tried to walk from near this location in to town the <br />barely existent sidewalk was flooded with a river. This <br />building will not increase Waimea's beauty but rather <br />cause traffic problems, and even worse continue Turing <br />this area into what could be lovely farms and homes into <br />more industrial zone. It's important to carefully plan for <br />Waimea's future so as not to ruin it. In addition it <br />appears that there is a stream that runs through here. <br />Please make sure to recognize the importance of <br />protecting clean waterways, even seasonal was. It's a <br />shame the way the back of KTA shopping center sits <br />right on the river. Th stream could have been protected <br />with space and an area to sit and picnic. Thank you for <br />your consideration. Laura <br />
