Subject: Special Permit case number PL-SPP-2023-000045
Date: Monday,August 14,2023 3:20:42 PM
We oppose the application of Special Permit, case number PL-SPP-2023-000045.
Dear Planning Department,
We are registering our objection to the above applicants request for a Special Use Permit for a STVR
application by them for a STVR is in conflict with Section A and Section I of the Restrictive Covenants
of Keopu Heights Subdivision, said restrictive covenants running with the land.
Section A: Resident Purpose. All subdivision lots and every portion thereof shall be used on
for private residence purposes, including private garage and other similar purposes
reasonably necessary in connection with such private residence and for no other purpose.
Section 1: Business or Offensive Uses: No retail or wholesale shop or store shall be erected
or any business, industry, obnoxious or offensive trade shall be carried upon any subdivision lot or
be done thereon which may be or become an annoyance or nuisance to other subdivision lots.
We have lived in this quiet subdivision of single family homes for 23+years. Ihona Street which the
property of the Applicants is on a private road consisting of 6 lots. The only method available to
reach the Applicants property is to use Hiona Street (County Road). Granting a STVR will increase
traffic, noise, etc, on Hiona Street (the street where we reside). Further Hiona Street is not a
thoroughfare and as constructed its 21%grade has in the past already proved hazardous for
commercial and private vehicles (brake failures, runaway, accidents). More traffic, potentially more
bad outcomes.
We respectfully ask the Planning Department to not disregard the Restrictive Covenants of the
Keopu Heights when making their decision. If this special permit is accepted by the County other
home owners may very well be induced to start a STVR in the subdivision thereby adding more
undesired vehicular traffic and noise etc, as well as lowering property values.
Sincerely,
Debra S & Lewis V Rodriguez
