A. YES We reside in Ala Ka La Condominiums, on lot 3, contiguous to the proposed project (The white-
roof building, left side of photo). George Smith is the president of our AOAO, and is forwarding
comments from owners, based on current information. Based on review of submitted statements, plans,
and illustrations,there are several inconsistencies in the proposal.

Initial comments, to date:
Overall, the design, scale, and style, of the proposed building is incompatible with the neighborhood, the
Scenic Corridor, and the general character of the shoreline area and vistas.The highly industrial design
concept is in keeping with our industrial areas, not our residential zones. The overall look of the building
is best understood by viewing the under-construction Kona Brewery building, not Alii Dr. condominiums.
The design as proposed is jarringly out-of-place, and the scale is overwhelming to adjacent properties.
1. The TMK : (3) 7-5-020: 066 map, Figure 1, makes it appear that the property encompasses the
entirety of lot 3, when in actuality it is less than %the area of the combined properties. This creates a
false impression of buildable area in the presentation.
2. The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street (Alii Dr.) parking spaces. Our
Shoreline Access is heavily used by families, surfers, divers, fisherpersons, and ocean access in general.
Street parking is critical to the enjoyment of our shoreline by the public, and we already haven't enough
on many days.
3. The access gate as presented in A001 Site Plan, is approximately 5' from the edge of Alii Dr.
(admittedly it may vary slightly, the scale of the exhibit is so small). Vehicles attempting to enter the
property would be forced to stop in the Alii Dr. traffic lanes and wait while the gate cycles, creating a
traffic delay and public safety problem. Measurements to gated properties in both directions on Alii Dr.
clearly indicates past address to this potentially hazardous situation:

75-6126 private residence 20'
75-6126 private residence 29'
75-6126 private residence 22'
* Shoreline Access, aka Old Canoe Road, Royal Patent by Kauikeaouli.Although we are only required a
5' wide pedestrian accessway, historically vehicles enter, unload/load while parking on the street, and
we support that community use.
B. NO
C. YES Our property was surveyed by Wes Thomas in 2018.The project survey, recently done by
unknown surveyor, does not agree, placing some of our property, including our power/comm. Utility
pole within applicant's declared property.Thomas states their survey is correct. Until that dispute is
resolved, we assert that the applicant is planning to build partially on our property. Part of the disputed
area consists of a large lava dome,that varies from 3'6"to 5'6" height above grade.The applicant
proposes a swimming pool in this location. It would seem impossible to remove this natural feature
without destroying our portion, and resulting in the loss of our power pole (regardless of which side of
the line it is situated on).
