SMA 21-000078 TMK 3/7-5-020-066 Please also direct the Planning Department to investigate a report of heavy equipment on this lot, excavating within the Shoreline Management Area without a permit, on May 3. Please resolve confusion as to how many units and floors are planned. Note that the condo would drastically change the character of the area. The style is industrial, not in keeping with the Ali'i Drive Scenic Corridor. Several on-street parking spaces would be removed, increasing parking problems and making shoreline access more difficult. The driveway space from the gate to the main road is only nine feet, so cars will line up waiting to enter, blocking traffic. A lava dome would need to be removed for the swimming pool, but that would cause damage to the lot next door and require removing a power pole. When I was growing up, Kona was a quiet village without even one traffic light. But, in my lifetime, it's exploded into"Little L.A.". Please protect Kona from even more harm.

This letter is to formally object to the use permit applied for by Land Planning Hawaii LLC, referenced above. There are numerous problems with the application, but just to name a few; 1.)Totally inadequate parking for residents and guests. No provision for ADA parking. 2.)Entry gate would be putting cars waiting across the bike/walking path as well as in the street blocking traffic. This would create a dangerous condition for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. 3.) A 5 story building is totally out of character for this section of Alii Drive. The proposed massive box like structure would block views and leave it looking like Urban Core type structure. This is wholly inappropriate for Alii Drive. Notably it is surrounded by single and two story modest structures. 4.) The plan proposes to convert 75%of the lot to imperious surfaces, this violates good building practices as it creates run off into storm drains and prevents natural pecolation of rainwater. 5.) The proposed improvement violates setback requirement of the zoning code. This appears to be one of many application filed in recent history for Alii Drive where the architect attempt to just through plans at the wall hoping they will stick. We urge the commissioners to reject this application. ncer , J.

I am a residents and community members and I oppose the proposed six (8?)-unit condominium seeking SMA permit 21-000078. The application contains inaccuracies as well as a false description of the area giving the reader an impression the area is primarily condominiums and vacation rentals. While in fact, the area remains to be a "beach community", the proposed development will severely and negatively impact the charm of the community. While there may be additional concerns to the proposed development, the following descriptions should cause enough alarm to deny the application in its current form. The elevation (A012), and renderings (Figure 5a, 5b) depict a 5 STORY steel and glass industrial design style** that is inappropriate to the Alii Dr. Scenic Corridor. The values of the Scenic Corridor are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language of the village and 'The Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road". The proposed 5 STORY structure is jarring in relation to the neighborhood, and overwhelming in size and impact on the small lot (less that 10,000 sq ft. The proposed building will be very similar to the new Kona Brew brewery, in the old industrial area. The map, Figure 1 , as presented makes it appear that the property (TMK : (3) 7-5-020: 066) encompasses the entirety of lot 3, when in actuality it is less than 1/2 the area of the combined properties. This creates a false impression of buildable area in the presentation, and does not provide accurate information regarding the property scope. The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street (Alii Dr.) parking spaces. The adjacent 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 this neighborhood has very limited on-street parking. Shoreline Access, aka 'Old Canoe Road', Royal Patent by Kauikeaouli, and is now a private driveway. Although the shoreline access only requires a 5' wide pedestrian 141641 accessway, historically vehicles enter, unload/load while parking on the street, and adjacent properties support that limited community use. The subject property does not have legal access to the driveway. The access gate as presented in A001 Site Plan, is approximately 9' from the edge of Alii Dr. Vehicles attempting to enter the 5 STORY 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. vary from 20' to 29', and clearly indicate past address to this potentially hazardous situation: Part of the property 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. A HELCO inspector stated that it would not be possible to remove this natural feature without destroying the adjacent lot portion, and resulting in the loss of that property's power service pole. The plans submitted for permit are either fraudulent, or inaccurate. Initially, there is confusion related to number of floors, as the plans utilize the European floor numbering protocol, which makes it seem to be only four levels, when in actuality there are five. Ground level (A001 ) exhibits the site plan, including the before mentioned un-permittable entry from Alii Dr. and swimming pool proximity to a live high-voltage electric source (less than 5'). Level 2 (A003) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 3(A004) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 4 (a005) is stated as the lower level of two two-story units, however there are no internal stairs in either unit, nor open floor space in which to install same. Levels ground through four are serviced by an elevator. Level 5 (A006) is stated as the upper level of the two-floor units. These floor plans show internal stairs, but the floor below does not, and as drawn cannot support a stair landing from above. The only access to level five is via an outside stair from the fourth-floor lanai, there is no elevator or enclosed stair. Additionally, the fifth-floor units both contain a full kitchen. 2 AS SHOWN IN THE SUBMITED DOCUMENTS THIS IS AN EIGHT UNIT BUILDING. Whether this is an error, or a deliberate attempt to sneak in two additional units cannot be determined by the public. This permit must be rejected as presented, and an accurate plans set submitted so that the public is correctly informed, and can respond from a knowledgeable position. While recognizing that the proposed use may be qualified under the current zoning, the permit application must be amended for accuracy and, the design language and style of the building modified to fit into the surrounding environs. There has been no thought on the part of the applicant to create a project that fits the scale and sensibilities of a residential neighborhood. As of the morning of May 03, 2021 there is heavy equipment on the lot excavating within the Shoreline Management Area without permit! Please get clarification on the above issues and find out if they are still excavating without permit! Mahalo for your consideration, Tlaloc Tokuda Kailua Kona, HI 96740 3 cMA-!t- rig Mori, Ashley From: Janice Glennie <palmtree7@hawaiiantel.net> COH PLANNING DEPT Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2021 10:20 PM MAY 13 2021 A 9:" 7 To: LPCtestimony Cc: Villegas, Rebecca Subject: Item #2 - say "no" to Alii Drive high rise Aloha Planning Commissioners, This proposal to build a 5-story condo on the water at Ala Kala surf spot on Ali'i Drive is misplaced and 180 degrees opposed to the vision of what the people of Kona want to see happen to their coastal lands and community. I'm the longest serving member of the KCDP Action Committee and have been involved in it since its inception. I spent many hours collating our region's stakeholders' comments regarding their goals an visions for their communities and have listened for 15 years about how they want to see their visions implemented and those and their communities protected. One of the most agreed upon goalst is that our residents don't want to build their town and coastlines up like Oahu has, with only designated TODs and TNDs (so-called "village centers")having heights at the 4- or 5-story range. The location of this proposed project does not meet this requirement and, in fact, goes against the wishes and visions of a majority of Kona's takeholders. I will defer to others to speak to the environmental and cultural aspects of lining our coastline with higher and higher rising buildings. However, it's clear that blocking sea breezes means a hotter climate. View planes are gold. And this project sets a new precedent of blotting out view planes seaward and mauka —forever. Sea level rise, additional traffic, loss of sense of place, subsistence and cultural activities including surfing...There are so many reasons why you, in your capacity as a representative of We the People,must deny this applicant such a greedy, myopic plan that uses Kona as a commodity rather than a place where people live. Our healthy future upon grassroots generated growth—not top-down,developer-generated, destructive plans like this one.

I am opposed to the rezoning of Ag Land and % Story Condo on Alii Dr. In Kona Hawaii. Name : James K. Kaulukukui Jr. Born in Hilo,raised in S. Kona . Graduated from Konawaena High school. I have seen the development that has occured in the Kona district, especially the Kailua area. Another Condo is not needed as there are more than enough to go around.. All I see is owners of the property tring to maximize their profit potential. My Uncle and Aunty had a home on Alii Dr just south of Kona Shores Apt building. They had to sell their home as the taxes (driven up by surrounding properties- IMO)were high for them to continue living there. Many other "local" families have been "pushed" out because of these developments. And it continues. So, to reiterate-NO 5 STORY CONDO. AND NO REZONING OF AG LAND FOR ANY OTHER USE OTHER THAN AGRICULTURE. James K.

I am born and raised Hawaiian from Miloli'i,Hawai'i. I've lived here my whole 38 years of life. Being born and raised here, I've seen many developments over the years in our islands. Our island is NOT in need of more hotels, condos,rentals for tourism, vacation rental, etc. there are more than enough of these types of structures that already are available to the public and visitors and many are not rented simply because the demand is not there for more of them. I feel strongly the arch logical impact in this specific area especially is extra sensitive as there is a lot of Hawaiian and environmental significance in this particular Ahupua'a. I know this because I own the 5acre land parcel directly mauka of ofthis proposed development. On my land, I have designated over an acre to preservation,due to the kupuna I have resting on my land. The wall against alii drive I own and is my property as well and have surfers,beach goers, fisherman always parking alongside in front of my property to gain access to ala kala beach which is fine, however soon my access to my land will be open and that parking wil disappear as it's going to be the entrance to our property. with a structure as the one proposed to develop, the over flow ofparking and guest will be all over alii blocking access to both my land, neighbors, and making it very dangerous for kids and pedestrians in the area. If the owner wants to do anything, why not turn his land over to the state or county and provide parking for the community to frequent the family friendly beach area as there is no parking to begin with? There is absolutely no benefit for the kona community with these types of unnecessary developments. Please consider options for the future of kona which should consist of parks and places for our kids and families to enjoy.

Overbuilding and proposing to satisfy parking requirements by using up street parking that is already designated to meet shoreline access needs is not meeting parking requirements. No No No No they are already illegally grubbing on the lot and that is definitely an indication that they will not be honest is what they are doing nor do they care about this community. The homeowner's at Ala Kala Condominium also don't need a vacation rental full of partiers next to them. This proposal is wrong in so many ways and the owner is definitely trying to take advantage of the idea that they can just get away with anything regardless of what the zoning, the rules, the permit will say. Additionally, Alii Drive in any disaster situation is already a disaster itself-trying to get to safety in a storm/ tsunami warning is out ofthe question-this building would only add to that burden and jeopardize peoples' life. Not to mention global warming and sea level change. No No No. Not only is this proposal excessive for the lot; it's excessive for the neighborhood and the attitude of this already deceptive developer is not needed on a small shoreline parcel.

This indicates that the Kahalu' u ahupua ' a was one of major importance in Hawaiian culture and history during the times before European contact , for heiau are built only after careful consideration of all geographical , social , political and supernatural factors . Important historical events in ancient Hawaii are closely associated with the construction, dedication, or use of these heiau, for Kahalu' u appears to have been a major seat of political power; perhaps a place where ruling chiefs held their courts . Many of the heiau are hundreds of years old, to judge from traditional history and legends , yet stand grandly above the now desolate terrain in fine condition. The mere fact that so many heiau exist in this district shows the com- plexity of Hawaiian society, for it must have taken literallythousandsandthousandsofmandaystobuildthem, since all are massive engineering feats of mortarless stonework. The heiau also show the central role of religion in ancient Hawaiian society , and illustrate the lengths to which the ancient rulers would go to ensure proper respect, worship , and propiation of the Hawaiian gods . Although many of the athelremains bulldozerstofrthanmodernheiauhotelh now disappeared beneath deve- lopment , sufficient remains are still to be found to indicate the high population density and complexity of habitation patterns found in the district . It is especially significant that associated with the many heiau are the other types of ancient Hawaiian scaves ,es , such and so forthglyShncewalls , exceptsures , habitation areas , a very few lying within Keauhou, are to be found within a single ancient Hawaiian uca , an excellent ppunyesfordetailedresearhon ice.. , Lawrcace K.MaunaHarryKim Mayor Police Chief 4ir Harry S.Kubojiri Deputy Police Chief County of Hawaii POLICE DEPARTMENT e 349 Kapiolani Street • Hilo.Hawaii 967203899 808)935-3311 • Fau(ROE)961-23E9 March I I, 2008 Mr. Ron Terry Principal Geometrician Associates P.O.

Kwok Fai Cheung, a professor of ocean resources and geo-engineering at UH-Manoa, said "I've offered to help (Hawaii) County multiple times, even though his contract with the state had run out. So, Kailua-Kona, is not covered by the evacuation plan. This is concerning to say the least. During the last tsunami warning, Alii Drive was a total disaster, bottlenecked, then to a dead stop at the top of Royal Poinciana Drive. From Kahalu'u Bay to the top of Kamehameha III Road, it took 10 minutes, then a car accident occurred at the top, it took 45 minutes back to Kahalu'u, then to a dead stop. Along Royal Poinciana, residents could not exit their driveway. Note that Kahakai Elementary School is at the bottom of this road. There was no escape, thank goodness there was no tsunami, or everyone would have dies.

We are in the High Hazard Coastal Zone. Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes. Here on Alii Drive is certainly the worst case model, exceeds the evacuation plan, but is not covered by the evacuation plan? The word "superfluous" is mentioned in this article, meaning "exceeding what is sufficient or necessary, extra, not needed, unnecessary, obsolete, marked by wastefulness." Most of the popular beaches for tourists and locals are on Alii Drive. Our main surf sites are there: Honls, Banyans, Lymans, and Kahalu'u. Millions of people in a year, thousands daily. ADVERTISING purr- 11111111 Yahoo Search Sponsored Research Senior Living Apartments in Hilo On March 11, 2008, the County of Hawaii police chief wrote a letter for an EA for a development on Alii Drive. Any additional development/project utilizing Alii Drive as its exclusive access will adversely impact traffic conditions throughout Alii Drive particularly during peak traffic hours or during an emergency condition. He recommended against any further development/project in this area until such times as the proposed Kahului-Keauhou Parkway has been completed and is open to traffic. Alii Highway was stopped many times for years because of burials. This area is of the State Historic Preservation Division's Kahalu'u and Keakealaniwahine. Chapter 6E of Hawaii Revised Statutes sets guidelines to ensure that preservation measures are taken and completed. Spiritual, traditional, and cultural importance. Developers no longer are allowed to take Hawaiian lands for granted, but are forced to respect the lands for what they were, and what they are. The rules help us preserve the history of ancient Hawaii. https://www.westhawaiitoday.com/2021 /04/01/opinion/my-turn-lack-of-kailua-kona-tsunami-evacation-plan-a-concern/ 2/13 5/17/2021 My Turn: Lack of Kailua-Kona tsunami evacuation plan a concern 1 West Hawaii Today With this being said, I do not see Alii Highway in the near future "completed" and "open to traffic."

This planned condo is noted to be within 200 feet of the shoreline, which adds to the threat of our Kona ocean water quality. I strongly feel the old sewage system from decades ago is too old to support another multi-bathroom condo, especially this one which is five stories high which "boasts" a total of 25 bathrooms among 6 condo units. That's a lot of flushes! I strongly oppose this project, to protect the health of our ocean, therefore,the health ofthe people of West Hawaii who swim, fish and surf in the Kona waters, catch and eat food from the ocean or purchase them from the markets.

I am a multiple generation local here and I have seen,heard and learned more about the impact that developers have caused to our land,archeological sites,our watershed and ocean quality and the impact on our culture over the past 20 years. This development poses a major threat to both our water quality and our culture. This design doesn't fit into our cultural landscape. Any open lots near the ocean need to be kept very conscious of the percentage ofgreen space created and the sewage problems it will invite. I am asking that today,we make choices that will impact our culture and the land in a positive manner for future generations. Condominiums especially will not help in water mitigation,cultural impact,assist in ocean water quality nor is it inviting to our residence and visitors. This makes Kona less appealing,less Hawai'i. We have a rise in various types of Staph infection problems on our island,cultural loss due to gentrification and land destruction,economic and legal impact,drought,floods, groundwater,soil and sand contamination and the quality of drinking water near sea level. Instead of more mansions and condos,I would like to see a larger vision for the restoration along the waterfront acreage. Every open parcel should not be utilized as a multimillion dollar opportunity,instead be utilized as a multimillion dollar opportunity that can perpetuate benefits for generations by being more welcoming to our ocean habitats,our Hawaiian culture and outdoor recreational space being safe for use. The positive impact to our economy would have through tourism,fishing,surfing,paddle-boarding, snorkeling,whale watching,and diving industries will benefit for generations IF we PLAN to protect our water quality and culture. Right now our ocean front is blocked by ugly condos and mansions with ocean views peeking through while driving along Ali'i Drive. I lived in New York City for many years and they have dedicated 840 acres for Central Park in Manhattan Island and it is the most visited urban park in the US. They have now committed to planting millions oftrees and creating public parks along all waterfronts ofeach borough and working with scientists to clean up rivers and ocean water quality through the introduction of Oysters to mitigate water runoff,brown water and sewage that impacts their coral,ocean and river habitats. We need to think ahead before it is too late. Attached is a reminder in an urbanizing environment that every small to large land saved matters to our mental,emotional,economical and natural impact successes. We can make profits through Pono land management by making it more enticing for locals and visitors to enjoy the beauty ofHawaii,local culinary experiences and shopping.

I strongly oppose building of the proposed 5 story condo complex on the makai side of Alii Dr. As a member of the Kona Development Plan Action Committee, I think that with global warning impacts on our beachfront, the county should not be approving housing structures on a narrow strip of land between the ocean and Alii Drive. What type of future financial responsibility might the county incur for knowingly approving a building that may end up under water? It seems to me it is more appropriate for the county to be buying up unimproved properties through the 2% PONC funds so that the we have more open space for all of our residents and visitors to enjoy. Shirley David 77-207 Hoowaiwai Place Kailua Kona, HI 96740 1 141768 7-M1.0 wo Mori, Ashley From: Tlaloc Tokuda <tlaloctt@hotmail.com> Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2021 1:18 PM COH PLANNING DEPT To: LPCtestimony MAY 17 2021 Ar 0'49 Subject: SMA permit 21-000078 These comments are for the May 20 HCLP hearing I am a residents and community members and I oppose the proposed six (8?)-unit condominium seeking SMA permit 21-000078. The application contains inaccuracies as well as a false description of the area giving the reader an impression the area is primarily condominiums and vacation rentals. While in fact, the area remains to be a "beach community", the proposed development will severely and negatively impact the charm of the community. In a West Hawaii Today (WHT) 5/13/21 article there is presently a request for standing in a contested hearing. This needs to be cleared before any decision is made. While there may be additional concerns to the proposed development, the following descriptions should cause enough alarm to deny the application in its current form. The elevation .(A012), and renderings (Figure 5a, 5b) depict a 5 STORY steel and glass industrial design style** that is inappropriate to the Alii Dr. Scenic Corridor. The values of the Scenic Corridor are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language of the village and The Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road". The proposed 5 STORY structure is jarring in relation to the neighborhood, and overwhelming in size and impact on the small lot (less that 10,000 sq ft. The proposed building will be very similar to the new Kona Brew brewery, in the old industrial area. The map, Figure 1 , as presented makes it appear that the property (TMK : (3) 7-5-020: 066) encompasses the entirety of lot 3, when in actuality it is less than 1/2 the area of the combined properties. This creates a false impression of buildable area in the presentation, and does not provide accurate information regarding the property scope. The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street (Alii Dr.) parking spaces. The adjacent 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 this neighborhood has very limited on-street parking. Shoreline Access, aka 'Old Canoe Road', Royal Patent by Kauikeaouli, and is now a private driveway. Although the shoreline access only requires a 5' wide pedestrian accessway, historically vehicles enter, unload/load while parking on the street, and 1 141767 adjacent properties support that limited community use. The subject property does not have legal access to the driveway. The access gate as presented in A001 Site Plan, is approximately 9' from the edge of Alii Dr. Vehicles attempting to enter the 5 STORY 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. vary from 20' to 29', and clearly indicate past address to this potentially hazardous situation: Part of the property 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. A HELCO inspector stated that it would not be possible to remove this natural feature without destroying the adjacent lot portion, and resulting in the loss of that property's power service pole. The plans submitted for permit are either fraudulent, or inaccurate. Initially, there is confusion related to number of floors, as the plans utilize the European floor numbering protocol, which makes it seem to be only four levels, when in actuality there are five. Ground level (A001) exhibits the site plan, including the before mentioned un-permittable entry from Alii Dr. and swimming pool proximity to a live high-voltage electric source (less than 5'). Level 2 (A003) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 3(A004) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 4 (a005) is stated as the lower level of two two-story units, however there are no internal stairs in either unit, nor open floor space in which to install same. Levels ground through four are serviced by an elevator. Level 5 (A006) is stated as the upper level of the two-floor units. These floor plans show internal stairs, but the floor below does not, and as drawn cannot support a stair landing from above. The only access to level five is via an outside stair from the fourth-floor lanai, there is no elevator or enclosed stair. Additionally, the fifth-floor units both contain a full kitchen. AS SHOWN IN THE SUBMITED DOCUMENTS THIS IS AN EIGHT UNIT BUILDING. Whether this is an error, or a deliberate attempt to sneak in two additional units cannot be determined by the public. This permit must be rejected as presented, and an accurate plans set submitted so that the public is correctly informed, and can respond from a knowledgeable position. 2 While recognizing that the proposed use may be qualified under the current zoning, the permit application must be amended for accuracy and, the design language and style of the building modified to fit into the surrounding environs. There has been no thought on the part of the applicant to create a project that fits the scale and sensibilities of a residential neighborhood. As of the morning of May 03, 2021 there is heavy equipment on the lot excavating within the Shoreline Management Area without permit! Please get clarification on the above issues and find out if they are still excavating without permit!

We have lived almost directly across from this lot for over 30 years. We have seen many accidents, including fatalities along this stretch over the years. One was a male who was hit as a pedestrian and this stretch of Alii Drive is designated as a passing zone with no lighting. Furthermore, access to the property is limited and posses a serious danger to those attempting to walk to the beach or access AlaKala Condominiums, which is very low profile/2 stories. The narrow roadway is a designated public access and is used heavily by pedestrians who have to park on Alii Drive and walk in. Furthermore, a 5 story building is not the type of development or land use consistent with the homes in the area. As part of the public volunteer group who participated in the Zoning plans currently in effect, the overwhelming opinion is that such developments of this height need to be restricted to resort zoning and kept in "pods" rather than allowing them to infiltrate residential properties, who have low profile appearance and use. There are NO buildings higher than 3 stories anywhere near this proposed eyesore! We DO NOT want to have Kailua Kona appear like Kihei Maui has allowed or see small scale home development replaced with high rise buildings and crowded conditions. The owners of this property own at least 27 properties and we do not feel that these owners are committed to keeping Kona country or low scale use. In addition, because we have seen Alii Drive so backed up when trying to access Kuakini or other mauka roads, we feel further concentration of residences only poses hindrance to tsunami or hurricane evacuations. Alii Dr needs open spaces saved for public use, view planes, and limit concentrations of people who cannot evacuate timely or safely. This is NOT the type of development we need or want now or in the future! Please do not approve this application for SMA variant or anything more than a single residential use, which is what this property is appropriate for.

Alii Drive makai development is continuing a failed economic model while creating a situation where those of us who live in the state of Hawai'i cannot afford to live. More tourism isn't the answer. Creating a chemical free agriculture and Hawaiian economy is the answer. Destroying our coastline to show tourists a good time for a couple weeks isn't a culture we should be embracing. Dependence on barges for our supply chain to fill our landfills, pollute our waters, kill our coastlines, and to gentrify our state is the absolute wrong direction. I use the the leeward coastline from Puako down to Captain Cook for surfing, fishing, and snorkeling. Competing with tourists to enjoy our beach parks and coastline while overpaying for common goods is wrong, immoral, and is the antithesis of what it is to be Hawaiian.

This property adjoins the applicant's land. This letter is to formally object to the use permit applied for by Land Planning Hawaii LLC, referenced above. There are many deficiencies in the application which should lead to denial. The deficiencies are as follows: 1.)The plans submitted violate Section 25-5-36 of the zoning ordinance in that it fails to provide of the required 18'minimum side yard setback for a 5 story building. It also violates the minimum rear yard setback of 20'. It should be noted that the site plan as submitted appears to measure the rear setback at it widest point rather than at its narrowest point and is therefore deceptive. 2.)The proposed entry gate would be putting cars waiting at the entry to the subject property across the bike/walking path as well as in the street blocking traffic. This would create a dangerous condition for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. The setback from Alii Drive needs to be increased by at least 15' from what is presently shown on the plan so that it meets basic safety requirements. DocuSign Envelope ID: E72F1CO2-A4F9-48E3-92F9-4B6E084E63DF Page 2 3.) A 5 story building is totally out of character for this section of Alii Drive. The proposed massive box-like structure would block views and leave it looking like Urban Core type structure. This is wholly inappropriate for Alii Drive. Notably. it is surrounded by single story and two story modest structures. The commission is required by Section 25-2-65 (2)of the zoning ordinance to consider the following: "(2)The granting of the proposed use shall not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor cause substantial,adverse impact to the community's character,to surrounding properties." Clearly, a 5 story box-like structure negatively impacts the"community's character" in particular impacting the surrounding properties which are modest one and two story properties in the same zone. Special attention should be paid to design which puts windows in the new structure looking down into neighboring properties,thus interfering with privacy and creating glare off windows and unwanted light during nighttime hours which would impact negatively the present dark sky conditions in and around this area of Alii Drive. Given that Alakala is a public beach,we are not aware of any public beach on the Kona coast that would have such an imposing 5 story structure looking down at the public. The commission also needs to consider the daylight plane impact of a 5 story structure on neighboring properties. The "minimum" setback might be appropriate in some RM 1.5 zones, however, where it is close to a public beach and neighboring modest 1 and 2 story structures the commission must require greater setbacks and orientation of windows away from neighboring properties. 4.) Section 25-5-37 requires the applicant to dedicate a minimum of 20%of the lot surface area to landscaping. The present plan does not have sufficient detail to show that it meets this requirement and therefore should be rejected. The plan proposes to convert over 80%of the lot to impervious surfaces, this violates good building and land use practices as it creates run off into storm drains or the ocean of contaminants and prevents natural percolation of rainwater. This is especially harmful in the coastal zone where it would be prudent to require more than the minimum lot area to be landscaped for ecological reasons. The swimming pool at the rear and surrounding paved areas not shown on the plan)are not"landscaping" within the letter or spirit of the zoning code. 5.)The proposed improvement fails to provide parking for persons with disabilities and therefore fails to meet the requirements of Section 25-4-55 of the zoning ordinance. The Board of Alii Point Homeowner's Association urges the commission to reject the applicant's proposal on the grounds that it is violates the zoning ordinance and is out of character for this area of Kona coast and is therefore a material detriment causing an adverse impact to the neighbors and the community at large.

I would like to bring to your attention this section of the KCDP which I believe is relevant to this proposed project: Policy LU-1.5: Enhanced Shoreline Setback. Beyond the 40 foot shoreline setback regulated by Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Sections 205A Part Ill, the County shall explore alternatives (e.g., density transfer based on gross density) for the applicant of a Special Management Area (SMA) Major Permit to dedicate to the government or land trust or encumber as open space for the purpose of realizing a shoreline linear park along as much of Kona's coastline as possible. Consistent with the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act CZMA) and County of Hawaii General Plan policy to retain open space and protect natural resources along with public access to and along the shoreline, it shall be a priority of the County to maintain a minimum of 1,000-foot open space no-build setback for undeveloped lands adjacent to the shoreline, on parcels which currently exceed 1,000 feet in depth, in discretionary land use approvals such as SMA major permits, rezonings, and state land use boundary amendments. Structures makai of this setback should be for public recreation and ocean-dependent facilities such as harbor improvements. Another item of interest from the KCDP is from the Village Design Guidelines. My experience from public Planning Charettes in 2008 was that people insisted we respect and maintain the "feel" of Kona Village as it 141840 relates to building heights and aesthetics. While these expectations may vary among individuals, the following guidelines should be considered: Attachment B—Village Design Guidelines 1.3.3. THE BLOCK AND THE BUILDING 1. That buildings and landscaping contribute to the physical definition of transportation corridors as CIVIC places. 2. That development adequately accommodate automobiles while respecting the pedestrian and the spatial form of public areas. 3. That the design of streets and buildings reinforce safe environments, but not at the expense of accessibility. 4. That architecture and landscape design grow from local climate, topography, building practice and fit with Kona's history and lifestyle. 5. That buildings provide their inhabitants with a clear sense of geography and climate through energy efficient methods. 6. That CIVIC BUILDINGS and public gathering places be provided as locations that reinforce community identity and support self-government. 7. That CIVIC BUILDINGS be distinctive and appropriate to a role more important than the other buildings that constitute the fabric of the village. 8. That the preservation and renewal of historic buildings be facilitated, to affirm the continuity and evolution of society. 9. That the harmonious and orderly evolution of urban areas should be secured through form-based guidelines or codes.

TMK: 3/7-5-020-066. 75-6150 Ali'i Drive Kailua-Kona; Applicant Jekaterina Mysin (SMA 21-000078) Allowing this 5 story condo will be a green light for more high rise condo's to be developed along Ali'i Drive. Public Views to and along the shoreline should be preserved. Adding more traffic along a coastal zone would hamper the ability to evacuate a tsunami hazard area. Kuakini highway is not wide enough to accommodate safety for the public and Kahakai Elementary School keiki's. Per Nancye Capri. The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street Ali'i Dr.) parking spaces. The adjacent 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 this neighborhood has very limited on-street parking. Insufficient parking should not be allowed. This condo will interfere with the public's ability to park and use the road for convenient access to coastal recreational areas. And also be a green light for others to develop condos without having to provide their own parking. Ali'i drive is already heavily used by pedestrians with no sidewalks. Bikers, runners and cars share Ali'i Drive. What is dangerous is when people park and open their car doors. Really there should be no parking along Ali'i drive until it is updated to be more pedestrian friendly. Please deny this application.

The "donate" button is for the website, NOT for our cause.--Mahalo nui AS a residents and community members, we oppose the proposed six-unit condominium seeking SMA permit 21-000078. The application contains inaccuracies as well as a false description of the area giving the reader an impression the area is primarily condominiums and vacation rentals. While in fact, the area remains to be a "beach community", the proposed development will severely and negatively impact the charm of the community. While there may be additional concerns to the proposed development, the following descriptions should cause enough alarm to deny the application in its current form. The elevation (A012), and renderings (Figure 5a. 5b) depict a 5 STORY steel and glass industrial design style** that is inappropriate to the Alii Dr. Scenic Corridor. The values of the Scenic Corridor are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language of the village and 'The Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road". The proposed 5 STORY structure is jarring in relation to the neighborhood, and overwhelming in size and impact on the small lot (less that 10,000 sq ft. The proposed building will be very similar to the new Kona Brew brewery, in the old industrial area. The map, Figure 1, as presented makes it appear that the property (TMK : (3) 7-5-020: 066) encompasses the entirety of lot 3, when in actuality it is less than 1/2 the area of the combined properties. This creates a false impression of buildable area in the presentation, and does not provide accurate information regarding the property scope. The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street (Alii Dr.) parking spaces. The adjacent 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 this neighborhood has very limited on-street parking. Page 2 of 30 Shoreline Access, aka 'Old Canoe Road', Royal Patent by Kauikeaouli, and is now a private driveway. Although the shoreline access only requires a 5' wide pedestrian accessway, historically vehicles enter, unload/load while parking on the street, and adjacent properties support that limited community use. The subject property does not have legal access to the driveway. The access gate as presented in A001 Site Plan, is approximately 9' from the edge of Alii Dr. Vehicles attempting to enter the 5 STORY 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. vary from 20' to 29', and clearly indicate past address to this potentially hazardous situation: Part of the property 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. A HELCO inspector stated that it would not be possible to remove this natural feature without destroying the adjacent lot portion, and resulting in the loss of that property's power service pole. The plans submitted for permit are either fraudulent, or inaccurate. Initially, there is confusion related to number of floors, as the plans utilize the European floor numbering protocol, which makes it seem to be only four levels, when in actuality there are five. Ground level (A001) exhibits the site plan, including the before mentioned un-permittable entry from Alii Dr. and swimming pool proximity to a live high-voltage electric source (less than 5'). Level 2 (A003) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 3(A004) shows two adjacent condo units. Level 4 (a005is stated as the lower level of two two-story units, however there are no internal stairs in either unit, nor open floor space in which to install same. Levels ground through four are serviced by an elevator. Level 5 (A006) is stated as the upper level of the two-floor units. These floor plans show internal stairs, but the floor below does not, and as drawn cannot support a stair landing from above. The only access to level five is via an outside stair from the fourth-floor lanai, there is no elevator or enclosed stair. Additionally, the fifth-floor units both contain a full kitchen. AS SHOWN IN THE SUBMITED DOCUMENTS THIS IS AN EIGHT UNIT BUILDING. Whether this is an error, or a deliberate attempt to sneak in two additional units cannot be determined by the public. This permit must be rejected as presented, and an accurate plans set submitted so that the public is correctly informed, and can respond from a knowledgeable position. While recognizing that the proposed use may be qualified under the current zoning, the permit application must be amended for accuracy and, the design language and style of the building modified to fit into the surrounding environs. There has been no thought on the part of the applicant to create a project that fits the scale and sensibilities of a residential neighborhood. As of the morning of May 03, 2021 there is heavy equipment on the lot excavating within the Shoreline Management Area without permit!

This is a beautiful, quiet and private space that is not overly developed. Any building over 2 stories would be be outrageous in this area. If this plot must be developed- it needs to be done in a way to respect the area, protect the historic aspects of this special place and definitely not be high density housing. Excavating without a permit- this should be halted immediately. I object to the current proposal of this project. 20. Name: Jacqueline Wikum on 2021-05-07 02:40:19 Comments: 21.

Name: Ben A Emery on 2021-05-18 05:37:14 Comments: Ben Emery Honoka'a, Hawaii Page 29 of 30 96727 I oppose and will oppose any future developments of this type anywhere on the Big Island. Ali'i Drive makai development is continuing a failed economic model while creating a situation where those of us who live in the state of Hawai'i cannot afford to live. More tourism isn't the answer. Creating a chemical free agriculture and Hawai'ian economy is the answer. Destroying our coastline to show tourists a good time for a couple weeks isn't a culture we should be embracing. Dependence on barges for our supply chain to fill our landfills, pollute our waters, kill our coastlines, and to gentrify our state is the absolute wrong direction. I use the the leeward coastline from Puako down to Captain Cook for surfing, fishing, and snorkeling. Competing with tourists to enjoy our beach parks and coastline while overpaying for common goods is wrong, immoral, and is the antithesis of what it is to be Hawai'ian.

I am born and raised Hawaiian from Miloli'i, Hawai'i. I've lived here my whole 38 years of life. Being born and raised here, I've seen many developments over the years in our islands. Our island is NOT in need of more hotels, condos,rentals for tourism, vacation rental,etc. there are more than enough of these types of structures that already are available to the public and visitors and many are not rented simply because the demand is not there for more of them. I feel strongly the arch logical impact in this specific area especially is extra sensitive as there is a lot of Hawaiian and environmental significance in this particular Ahupua'a. I know this because I own the 5acre land parcel directly mauka of of this proposed development. On my land, I have designated over an acre to preservation,due to the kupuna I have resting on my land. The wall against alii drive I own and is my property as well and have surfers, beach goers, fisherman always parking alongside in front of my property to gain access to ala kala beach which is fine, however soon my access to my land will be open and that parking wil disappear as it's going to be the entrance to our property. with a structure as the one proposed to develop,the over flow of parking and guest will be all over alii blocking access to both my land,neighbors, and making it very dangerous for kids and pedestrians in the area. If the owner wants to do anything,why not turn his land over to the state or county and provide parking for the community to frequent the family friendly beach area as there is no parking to begin with?There is absolutely no benefit for the kona community with these types of unnecessary developments. Please consider options for the future of kona which should consist of parks and places for our kids and families to enjoy.

Any additional development that adds cars and people to Alii Drive should be held up until more traffic routes are established (such as the proposed "Parkway" or the so-called Alii Highway.)

Sincerely, J.Roben Taylor 75.6138 Alii Dr. #19 Kailua Kona,HI 96740 808-329-2330 t41141 t I ri . 11 ( u ATTORWRY AT LAW June 2,2021 Leeward Planning Commission 101 Pauahi St., Suite 3 Hilo,H196720 RE: Applicant: Jekaterina Mysin(SMA 21-000078) Dear Commissioners: This letter is submitted as an objection to the application for a Special Management Area Use Permit for the property located at 75-6150 Alii Drive,Kailua- Kona, Hf 96740. I represent the owner's of 75-6138 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hi. Their property is within 300 feet of the proposed development and is comprise of a single story residence. In the original notice sent in May the application provided building plans, in the latest mailing the applicant failed to provide plans other than the site plan. We are not able to comment on an incomplete disclosure of information with regards to the building,therefore the application should be rejected as having not met the requirements for informing the neighboring properties. The site plan fails to show an exterior details, mass,overhangs,lanais or othcr features that are critical to this application. Nevertheless,we make the following additional objections to the application: I.) The proposed entry gate would be putting can waiting at the entry to the subject property across the bike/walking path as well as in the street blocking traffic. This would create a dangerous condition for drivers,bicyclists and pedestrians. The setback from Alii Drive needs to be increased by at least 15' from what is presently shown on the plan so that it meets basic safety requirements. 2.) The plans submitted violate Section 25-S-36 of the zoning ordinance in that it fails to provide of the required 18' minimum side yard setback for a 5 story building. It also violates the minimum rear yard setback of 20'. It should be noted that the site plan as submitted appears to show a hashed line on the set back but the dimension is either not shown or misrepresented. Scaled drawing is obviously incorrect in showing setbacks required by the code. 3.) A S story building is totally out of character for this section of Alii Drive. The proposed massive box-like structure would block views and leave it looking like Urban Core type structure. This is wholly inappropriate for Alii Drive. Notably, it is surrounded by single story and two-story modest structures. The commission is required by Section 25-2-65 (2)of the zoning ordinance to consider the following: 650) 322-3344 153 SECOND ST., #101, LOS ALTOS, CA 94022 2)The granting of the proposed use shall not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor cause substantial,advent impact to the community's character,to surrounding properties." Clearly,a five-story box-like structure negatively impacts the"community's character" in particular impacting the surrounding properties which are modest one and two-story properties in the same zone. Special attention should be paid to design which puts windows in the new structure looking down into neighboring properties, thus interfering with privacy and creating glare off windows and unwanted light during nighttime hours which would impact negatively the present dark sky conditions in and around this area of Alii Drive. Given that Alakala is a public beach,we are not aware of any public beach on the Kona coast that would have such an imposing 5 story structure looking down at the public. The commission also needs to consider the daylight plane impact of a 5 story structure on neighboring properties. The"minimum"setback might be appropriate in some RM 1.5 zones, however,where it is close to a public beach and neighboring modest 1 and 2 story structures the commission must require greater setbacks and orientation of windows away from neighboring properties. 4.) Section 25-5-37 requires the applicant to dedicate a minimum of 20%ofthe lot surface area to landscaping. The present plan does not have sufficient detail to show that it meets this requirement and therefore should be rejected. The plan proposes to convert over 80%of the lot to impervious surfaces,this violates good building and land use practices as it creates run off into storm drains or the ocean of contaminants and prevents natural percolation of rainwater. This is especially harmful in the coastal zone where it would be prudent to require more than the minimum lot area to be landscaped for ecological reasons. The swimming pool at the rear and surrounding paved areas(not shown on the plan)are not"landscaping" within the letter or spirit of the zoning code. 5.) The proposed improvement fails to provide parking for persons with disabilities and therefore fails to meet the requirements of Section 25-4-55 of the zoning ordinance. As shown the van accessible space does not meet the standard. It is not permitted to have car/van doors open into a wall. The space fails to provide for the minimum width required by the code. 6.) Enclosed parking spaces such as the ones shown surrounded by three walls underneath the building require a minimum width of 10 feet. The space at the rear would require the driver to back over 25 feet in a straight line in order to begin a three point turn to exit. This makes the parking spaces functionally unusable. Parking as shown by the front wall is way to crowded making use of these spaces functionally impossible as occupant would not be able to exit their cars after parking. The standard space is against a wall,and then is adjacent to small compact spaces. One compact space passenger would have to exit into a planter. Drivers and passengers would not be able to exit their vehicles with three cars parked there. 650) 322-4506 Fax 322-4677 541-B COWPER STREET, PALO Auto, CA 94301 7.) Mailboxes as shown are placed on public property. The mail carrier cannot stop or park on Alii Drive. Mailboxes must be located on the site where the carrier can drive in,park and deliver mail. 8.) No access for trash company to remove trash. Drawing shows an inadequate amount of space for containers required for trash, recycling and green waste. 9.) The constructability of a 5 story building within the height restriction is highly unlikely,if not impossible. Design shows no room for insulation between floors or a roof system,and no room for mechanical. Lines on a piece of paper are meaningless as they are not showing the true dimensions of the structure. BT&T Development Company urges the commission to reject the applicant's proposal on the grounds that itis violates the zoning ordinance and is out of character for this area of Kona coast and is therefore a material detriment causing an adverse impact to the neighbors and the community at large.

The application contains inaccuracies as well as a false description of the area giving the reader an impression the area is primarily condominiums and vacation rentals. While in fact, the area remains to be a "beach community, the proposed development will severely and negatively impact the charm of the community.While there may be additional concerns to the proposed development, the following descriptions should cause enough alarm to deny the application in its current form. The elevation (A012), and renderings (Figure 5a. Sb)depict a 5 STORY steel and glass industrial design style** that is inappropriate to the Alii Dr. Scenic Corridor. The values of the Scenic Corridor are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language of the village and 'The Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road". The proposed 5 STORY structure is jarring in relation to the neighborhood, and overwhelming in size and impact on the small lot(less that 10,000 sq ft. The proposed building will be very similar to the new Kona Brew brewery, in the old industrial area. The map, Figure 1, as presented makes it appear that the property(TMK : (3) 7-5-020: 066) 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, and does not provide accurate information regarding the property scope.The driveway as shown will remove five currently available on-street(Alii Dr.) parking spaces. The adjacent 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 this neighborhood has very limited on-street parking.Shoreline Access, aka 'Old Canoe Road', Royal Patent by Kauikeaouli, and is now a private driveway. Although the shoreline access only requires a 5'wide pedestrian accessway, historically vehicles enter, unload/load while parking on the street, and adjacent properties support that limited community use. The subject property does not have legal access to the driveway. 142.1(ol The access gate as presented in A001 Site Plan, is approximately 9' from the edge of Alii Dr. Vehicles attempting to enter the 5 STORY 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. vary from 20' to 29', and clearly indicate past address to this potentially hazardous situation: Part of the property 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. A HELCO inspector stated that it would not be possible to remove this natural feature without destroying the adjacent lot portion, and resulting in the loss of that property's power service pole. The plans submitted for permit are either fraudulent, or inaccurate. Initially, there is confusion related to number of floors, as the plans utilize the European floor numbering protocol, which makes it seem to be only four levels, when in actuality there are five. 2 v1,11% -71-0000it 7-5- o2n1 044 Nelson, Catherine From: Simmy <simmy808@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday,June 03,2021 12:29 PM CON PLANNING DEPT To: Sauer,Noriko; LPCtestimony JUN 4 2021 PP'1:37 Subject Fwd:Information and mitigation efforts for proposed condo development on Alii Drive SMA-21-000078) Aloha Commissioners, I have just received this email,and I'm concerned as stated here,to a number of opposing testimonies that were sent.

We received a number of opposing testimonies from Hawaii Island residents, yours was among them. The intention of this development is not to cause disharmony within the community and so we wanted to reach out to you Individually to attempt to address some of your concerns. We don't presume that this letter will change your opinion or gamer your support, but we do want you to know that our office and the applicant have heard your concerns and we will do our best to mitigate them should the Application be approved. We understand that you are also particularly concerned with the effects a possible tsunami. This is an understandable concern. We live on (mostly) active volcanoes In the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are subject to many potential hazards as a result. Without new developments and the increased tax base they provide, our County will not be able to afford the infrastructure Improvements so desperately needed that would lead to better evacuation corridors. Also, one of the main concerns that was expressed in the opposing testimony related to design of the building. Much of the testimony expressed that the modern aesthetics of the proposed building did not conform to the"feel"of the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant has heard this concern and is working with her architect to come up with an alternative design which we hope you will find more suitable for the AIM Drive Scenic Corridor. Please review the attached rendering of a new aesthetic that we feel conforms more to the existing development in the area. 0 q1 N 7021 Youalsoexpressedsomeconcernswithregardtoarcheologicalsites.

SMA 21-000078-I understand this is a proposal for 6 units, 14 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms. 3 jacuuls. and t swimming pool on a lot usually the size to accommodate one house nicely. Do we really need to have more traffic on Alii Drive?In a high hazard tsunami zone? When parking and traffic in That area is already at a critical level?Alii Drive is where both visitors and local folks hang out and go swimming.We need more parks. more beaches.not more traffic and private buildings and walls between us and the ocean.Not more problems. I realize the trend on other islands is to put huge high rise buildings on beautiful coastal stretches, but Kona is not Maui or Waikiki. I don't think Ka'anapali is what we want on the Big Island's west side. I presume you remember the March 11, 2011,earthquake in Fukushima that resulted in a tsunami in West Hawaii. Do you also remember the traffic jams that ensued?Do you remember the damage the tsunami caused? Have you heard that the area of this proposed project is projected to have a 3+foot ocean rise in coming years? I hope you are taking this into account, as well as the fact that Ali Drive and other roads nearby are already inadequate for evacuations.With an ocean level rise,these events will be more frequent and more disastrous. Why exacerbate this situation? I understand the police are not in favor of developments like this until the Kahakai-Keauhou Alii Highway reality The 2011 evacuation was a lot like a train wreck. What improvements to this situation will this development make to ameliorate the extra cars that may be added to the traffic level because of it? Please consider all these factors and consider the impact on Kailua-Kona. Please do not approve this project. 2. SMA21-000080- I understand some age-old trees are at stake near Magic Sands due to rebuilding bathrooms for ADA compliance. Please save these three trees that have long protected the shoreline here, preventing erosion and keeping the land in tact.Please reconsider building a new bathroom across the road within the mauka park area. Bathrooms on the makai side of Alii Drive—where they may be overrun with sea level rise and/or tsunamis--and where they would result in tearing down such old,noble trees,are not justified. Thank you for your consideration. Aloha nui loa.

There are several community members concerned about this planned development, especially due to the size of the proposed structure and its location adjacent to one of the only user friendly shoreline public accesses in the area. This shoreline area, also known locally as Ala Ka La,has been a special place in the community for generations. It is one of the few shoreline areas in Kailua-Kona with an ability to enter and exit the water safely, and has been a local favorite surf and fishing spot for many years. My sister and I were born and raised here in Kona, and continue to visit Ala Ka La nearly daily with our friends and family. The proposed large condo will likely cause significant issues with parking for the public access to the area, as there are no other parking areas close enough to walk for many people. The development will also bring a significant influx of foot and vehicle traffic to this small bay that does not have room for large crowds or several groups of people at one time. In addition, the structure is not consistent with the local building and landscape aesthetics due to the size and associated number of residents and guests it will accomodate. Due to these concerns please consider blocking this development and possibly rezoning the area to limit the number of units/families allowed. This would still allow for the development of much needed housing without sacrificing our precious local shoreline and ocean resources. Mahalo, Dr's Aren J.

The plans I reviewed prior to May 17 seemed to indicate an effort to wholly disregard the character of Alii Drive ocean side being residential single family or limited multifamily accommodations. As these developments are built feet from the ocean and wholly obscure any view of the water and with very limited access for the public to enjoy all parts of the coastline along this corridor it is unforgiving to think that the Planning Commission would consider at this time expanding the density and demeaning, to a greater extent, the character of scenic Alii Drive from Palani Road to Keauhou. The rationale that further development is warranted in order to finance additional egress in the event of a tsunami is akin to saying lets pave paradise to put up a parking lot. Why was tsunami planning in terms of building set-backs and egress routes not considered years ago? The 10,000 square foot lot, (approximate), would be more consciously dedicated to a park or 4 unit multi-family building constructed in the character of those already along Alii drive; wooden materials, gingerbread trim. The construction demands of a five story vacation rental with underground parking, a pool and limited parking will put at risk the porosity of the rock adjacent to the shoreline. Drilling down through the lava to install structural steel vertical supports,the weight of the glass exterior, swimming pool and additional paving requires the assessment of a structural engineer. As to the archaeological statements made to date, it is my understanding an archaeology report has not been done. In light of property taxes outstanding, grubbing begun without a grubbing permit, and architectural plans to date not meeting building specification indicates a lack of responsibility and consideration for both the county regulations and neighborhood. Who is to say what other egressions will occur at each level of development going forward. It is time the county building administration adopt a consciousness of protection for the cultural ambience of Kona and mitigation of risk rather than be driven by the revenue generated by increasing densities which strain sewage, water and visual aesthetic resources at the expense Kailua Kona residents. Put taller buildings and higher densities on the mauka side of Alii Drive. Ocean side industrial development is beginning a devastating precedent.

As a homeowner directly impacted by the development, I appreciate the opportunity to provide the Commission with my observations and concerns about the proposed development. I am a 19-year owner of Unit 6 at Ala Ka La Condominiums. My unit is approximately 30 feet from the rear property line of the proposed development. I will focus my comments on a few salient items I think bear repeating and then speak to the impact on my quiet enjoyment of my home during the proposed 1-year construction period. 1. I am still concerned that the proposed 5-story structure will not exceed 45 feet. The Ala Ka La Condominium building is approximately 20 feet tall and each condo unit is two-story. Accordingly, the floor separation is most likely not built with the same separation that would be warranted with separate distinct units stacked on top of each other. I would like to see assurances from the County that they will monitor and enforce the height requirement during the construction phase to ensure that the structure does not exceed 45 feet. 2. The construction estimate is currently $1,000,000, which seems low considering the size of the structure and the necessary infrastructure preparation (e.g., lava drilling and removal) coupled with the rise in costs of construction materials as a result of the pandemic. 3. I visited the County of Hawai'i property tax record website on June 14, 2021, and observed that Jekaterina Mysin has 27 parcels listed under her name. Most of the parcels listed have delinquent property taxes since the year of acquisition in 2018. c, As a matter of public policy, I do not support the issuance of a building permit before the delinquent property taxes are paid in full. 4. Quiet Enjoyment of Property: As a owner for 19 years, I have enjoyed the quiet community at Ala Ka La. I recognize that development occurs in the normal course of growth in a community. Here is the reality that the Ala Ka La ohana will face during the construction phase. Let's not equivocate, site preparation noise and pounding (in particular, lava excavation) will be extremely loud (you can't even have a phone conversation or watch TV when the gardener's leaf blower is outside.) This noise will not be limited to a "few days". I doubt that I will be able to talk on the phone, watch TV, read a book, take a nap, be on a 1 1 4 2 3 2 8 Zoom call, or have family or friends visit while excavation is going on. It begs the question of whether we can stay in our units. c During the construction phase, there will be dust and dirt continually landing on: our cars (3 spaces directly next to the rear property line of the proposed development); lanais and the furniture and rugs we have thereon; and rooftops. There could potentially be damage to our private driveway as a result of the lava excavation. I believe the developer has a responsibility to remediate these issues for the Ala Ka La owners and I would like to see a formal requirement by the County that the developer has a responsibility to remediate these items. Absent, any formal requirement, the Ala Ka La AOAO would have to incur otherwise unnecessary costs to seek remediation. 0 For units that are permitted long-term vacation rentals, there will most likely be a loss of revenue as it will be difficult to rent a unit during the noisiest construction phase. Is this a "tough break issue" for owners or can the developer be required to provide remuneration for loss of use of property? Thank you for the consideration of these matters. Sincerely, Caroline Walsh 2 Mori, Ashley From: katie.l@hawaiianrehab.com <klopez.hrs@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 14, 2021 4:14 PM To: LPCtestimony Subject: Written Testimony: Item #2: Jekaterina Mysin (SMA 21-000078) TMK (3) 7-5-020-006 Attachments: Written Testimony Item #2 SMA 21 000078.pdf June 14,2021 Item: #2: Jekaterina Mysin (SMA 21-000078)TMK (3) 7-5-020-006 Aloha Leeward Planning Commission, My name is Katie Lopez. I am a born and raised Kailua-Kona resident. I am a homeowner within 500 feet of the proposed 5 story condo (mauka of Ali'i Drive) as well as a local business owner. I am opposing the construction of the 5-story condo at 75-6150 Ali'i Drive and I am asking the Leeward Planning Commission to deny the SMA Use Permit Application submitted by Jekaterina Mysin. The Special Management Area(SMA)was established in 1975 when the state legislature found that"it is the state policy to preserve, protect, and where possible, to restore the natural resources of the coastal zone of Hawai'i," and therefore, that"special controls on developments within an area along the shoreline are necessary to avoid permanent losses ofvaluable resources and the foreclosure of management options, and to ensure that adequate access,by dedication or other means, to public owned or used beaches, recreation areas, and natural reserves is provided." (Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 205A, Part II). With this definition of the SMA, I feel that granting the applicant's SMA Use Permit would be in violation of this statute. The first issue is Public Beach Access. Our public beach access is already significantly limited along Ali'i Drive due to private residence along the shoreline. These public beach access areas are even more limited to families with small children, and at high tide some are not accessible at all. The Public Beach Access to the Ala Kala Surfing and Fishing area directly borders the property of the proposed 5 story condo. The amount of parking required for a 5 story, 6 unit, 22 bathroom condo would significantly impact the public's access to the Ala Kala Public Beach even further, as the plans clearly stated they intend to commandeer the public parking along the makai side of Ali'i Drive. This parking area is currently used on a regular basis to access the public beach and without it there is room for only 2-3 cars to legally park and access the shoreline. We can assume that guests of the residents of this proposed condo would threaten what is left of the public's parking even further. This does not ensure the adequate access to public owned beaches and recreation areas which the SMA requires. The second issue I have with the proposed condo is cultural preservation of the Ali'i Drive Scenic Corridor whose values are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language of the village and the Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road. This 5 story,modern glass structure contradicts the cultural surroundings of the area and will stand 3 stories higher than its neighbors, boarding Ali'i Drive and with a design that does not align with that of the Scenic Corridor and would block the public's view of the ocean from I4233 `.) Ali'i Drive. It was disheartening to see the site rendering of this building presented itself as being surrounded by lush greenery, leading us to think it was proposed in a rural and private area with no impact on any surrounding properties or cultural preservation. There remain only a few areas along Ali'i Drive where you can view the ocean from this scenic roadway. A 5 story condo would obstruct the ocean view from this scenic road in yet another area of Ali'i Drive. The next issue at hand is the preservation of historic and archaeological resources and the mitigation of alterations to existing landforms. There appears to be a large lava dome on the property; seemingly in the same area where the applicant is proposing a swimming pool. Removing this natural landform would be impossible without also affecting the neighboring property, also resulting in the loss of an existing power service poll, according to an inspector from HELCO. There is also the ecological effect of an excessive 22-bathroom condo on our fragile sewer system and the threat a natural disaster or leaks in the system could cause with a structure ofthis capacity so close to the ocean. This is an impact I am unfamiliar with,however, I trust that it will be thoroughly examined by the planning commission prior to their decision. Lastly, my concern is the precedent the Leeward Planning Commission will be setting if the proposed SMA Use Permit is granted.

If this application in question is granted, where will it stop? Why have a Special Management Area statute in place if it can simply be bought-out or bypassed?

Mahalo for your consideration, Katie Lopez 808-345-9471 2 June 14, 2021 Item: #2:Jekaterina Mysin(SMA 21-000078)TMK (3)7-5-020-006 Aloha Leeward Planning Commission, My name is Katie Lopez.I am a born and raised Kailua-Kona resident. I am a homeowner within 500 feet of the proposed 5 story condo (mauka of Ali'i Drive) as well as a local business owner. I am opposing the construction ofthe 5-story condo at 75-6150 Ali'i Drive and I am asking the Leeward Planning Commission to deny the SMAUse Permit Application submitted by Jekaterina Mysin. The Special Management Area(SMA)was established in 1975 when the state legislature found that"it is the state policy to preserve, protect, and where possible, to restore the natural resources of the coastal zone of Hawai'i,"and therefore, that "special controls on developments within an area along the shoreline are necessary to avoid permanent losses of valuable resources and the foreclosure of management options, and to ensure that adequate access, by dedication or other means, to public owned or used beaches, recreation areas, and natural reserves is provided."(Hawaii Revised Statutes,Chapter 205A,Part II). With this definition of the SMA,I feel that granting the applicant's SMA Use Permit would be in violation of this statute. The first issue is Public Beach Access. Our public beach access is already significantly limited along Ali'i Drive due to private residence along the shoreline.These public beach access areas are even more limited to families with small children, and at high tide some are not accessible at all.The Public Beach Access to the Ala Kala Surfing and Fishing area directly borders the property of the proposed 5 story condo.The amount of parking required for a 5 story, 6 unit, 22 bathroom condo would significantly impact the public's access to the Ala Kala Public Beach even further,as the plans clearly stated they intend to commandeer the public parking along the makai side of Ali'i Drive.This parking area is currently used on a regular basis to access the public beach and without it there is room for only 2-3 cars to legally park and access the shoreline. We can assume that guests ofthe residents of this proposed condo would threaten what is left of the public's parking even further.This does not ensure the adequate access to public owned beaches and recreation areas which the SMA requires. The second issue I have with the proposed condo is cultural preservation of the Ali'i Drive Scenic Corridor whose values are based on a vision to preserve the historical and cultural design language ofthe village and the Kailua to Keauhou Beach Road.This 5 story, modern glass structure contradicts the cultural surroundings of the area and will stand 3 stories higher than its neighbors, boarding Ali'i Drive and with a design that does not align with that of the Scenic Corridor and would block the public's view of the ocean from Ali'i Drive. It was disheartening to see the site rendering of this building presented itself as being surrounded by lush greenery, leading us to think it was proposed in a rural and private area with no impact on any surrounding properties or cultural preservation.There remain only a few areas along Ali'i Drive where you can view the ocean from this scenic roadway.A 5 story condo would obstruct the ocean view from this scenic road in yet another area ofAli'i Drive.

I no longer reside on the Big Island- however, I grew up there and visit regularly. I have watched the island change in a way that accommodates tourism but not really working to address the quality of the environment- beaches, green spaces, culture. Preserving what makes the island beautiful. The discussion of this 5 story condo concerns me as this takes away from the landscape and adds to pollution. As I have seen in the information provided- this building will not blend in, but stick out like a sore thumb- taller than any other building surrounding. Similar types of buildings have become vacation rentals which does not help the current housing market. We do not need to continue to build near the ocean. Sea levels rise, issues with storms- tsunamis, hurricanes etc- over crowing near the ocean makes it difficult during times of evacuation. This is not smart emergency planning. When planning for the development of the island- resources and the overall impact on the island need to be considered. People travel to Hawaii because it is a beautiful treasure. The people who make decisions about the island need to consider this. If the shores are overdeveloped, sea life is gone, and plant life is paved over- what brings people to Hawaii? Culture and nature are what tourists love and what residents value.

The Cesspool was 80 FEET back from shoreline 20 years ago. Now the cesspool is at our shoreline. Kona coast water cycle system in our unique terrain. Hawaii island is young and porous, which makes trees and grass a valuable filtration system. Infrared images showing Nutrient-rich groundwater plumes August 2020 image along Ali'i Drive and leaking sewage impact CMZ Act, 1972 The act provides the basis for protecting, restoring, and responsibly developing our nation's diverse coastal communities and resources. To meet the goals of the CZMA, the national program takes a comprehensive approach to coastal resource management—balancing the often competing and occasionally conflicting demands of coastal resource use, economic development, and conservation. The program includes key elements: Protecting natural resources, Managing development in high hazard areas, Giving development priority to coastal-dependent uses, Providing public access for recreation, Prioritizing water-dependent uses, and Coordinating state and federal actions. I advise that the Leeward Planning Committee be very mindful of the phrase 'housing crisis' as the Palisade rezoning on May 20th, 2021 and this 5 Story Condo clearly will not serve our local community and will in fact perpetuate off island, multi home ownership for the wealthy. It increases local land taxes and continues to displace families who are renting, with an actual housing crisis. It would be highly recommended and beneficial that the Leeward Planning Committee recognises and reflects continuity in line with DLNR, NRC, CMZ and Culture through Plants, Soil and Water Conservation knowledge and efforts. What we do on the mountain here impacts our ocean life and drinking water because our island is so young and porous. My reasons for this opposition; This monstrosity will block our ocean views being on the makai side of Ali'i Drive. Making Kona less appealing and less Hawai'i nei. It will be the tallest condo structure protruding above all buildings in the surrounding area. Sticks out and visible from Kuakini Hwy. 1 i42263 Kills our cultural landscape and adds insult by gentrified representation of Hawai'i through a large scale dolphin mural on the revised condo designs This increases density near a major intersection at Royal Poinciana near Kahakai Elementary School. Making it less evacuation friendly. Should not exceed 1 story, nor should we continue to develop so close to the water as sea levels have already risen by 80 feet more or less. View Kahalu'u cesspool image that is now in the shoreline. This will impact our ocean quality, fishing and surf spot with 27 bathrooms connecting into our leaking sewage system as we face an increased 'High Bacteria Alert' warning along the Kona coast. If this design and large mass of a building passes, more like this will pass. Tsunami evacuations in the past failed tremendously to get people up the mountain at all. In fact traffic comes to a dead stop due to overpopulation and lack of connecting roadways. In 2020 we had 2 Tsunami warnings that were cancelled. It is a matter of WHEN. This is not in the direction of becoming catastrophically prepared nor dealing with rising sea levels. We need green open space and public parks all along Ali'i Drive's oceanfront just like Hilo. No more buildings! If this passes there will be great disharmony in our community towards this negative direction in our overall planning of Kona coastal lots. Our coral reef system is a collaborative participant that impacts global ocean habitat behavior. I don't find that this structure leaves our Natural Resources protected for generations to come. We really need to think and plan accordly to our reality for 50 plus years down the line and be of the mindset of mitigating and supporting nature and not taking from it and developing the waterfront for quick profit for a few people.

AS residents and community members. we oppose the proposed EIGHT-unit condominium SMA permit 21-000078. The application contains inaccuracies as well as a false description of the area giving the reader an impression the area is primarily condominiums and vacation rentals. While in fact, the area remains to be a "beach community", residential and 15 acres agricultural directly across the street. The proposed development will severely, negatively and irreversibly impact the charm of the community and RESTRICT SHORELINE ACCESS! This project is not in alignment with the Scenic and Historic Alii Drive. (description of the designation follows below) When shoreline access is affected in a negative way - it should be forefront in decision making. This is a future generation argument---what is our legacy as we are leaving and Kona becomes fully developed? Natural resources must be preserved and protected for the people! Zoning does not mean you "get what you want"--you're only at the first base. If the infrastructure isn't available water. parking. adequate streets. adequate emergency evacuation routes- development CANNOT happen. Developers must be required to provide adequate parking, including guest parking ON SITE. and must not be able to utilize public property/streets to accommodate the developments needs. Pre-Covid and pre bridge construction- it's normal during busy hours for traffic to back up from Lunapule Street to Alii Gardens Market Place- 300 feet away from proposed development! Access to Kuakini Highway from Royal Poinciana Street backs up during busy hours and is_compounded by the Kahakai Elementary School traffic (one way in and out of school) from Alii Drive up to Kuakini Highway. During the last tsunami warning- traffic was backed up- to a standstill- including emergency vehicles --- people were told to get out of their cars and run! Shoreline access is NOT just a designated pathway- safe parking is necessary. Shoreline access is already restricted by lack of safe parking along Alii drive. This area "Ala Kala" is a popular, Page 2 of 6 multigenerational user shoreline for fishing, surfing, diving and family beachgoers. A driveway will take several parking areas away from the shoreline access use. There is a fire hydrant at the subject driveway, so most likely there will be no parking to the north of the shoreline access path once the driveway is installed. Alii Drive cannot support any more development. The best solution is for the County to purchase this property to preserve & protect Shoreline Access. PLEASE READ DESCRIPTIONS AND AWARDS OF ALII DRIVE and THE ROYAL FOOTSTEPS ALONG THE KONA COAST. Noted from The Kailua Village Business Improvement District Website (KVBI): The Kailua Village Business Improvement District and the Local Byway Committee successfully undertook the challenge of designating the seven-mile Alii Drive as a Hawaii Scenic Byway. The Hawaii Department of Transportation approved the nomination and designated Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast as the state's second Hawaii Scenic Byway." The Kona Royal Footsteps APP is an interpretive experience that focuses on Alii Drive's roughly seven miles of roadway with seven centuries of archaeological, historic and cultural traditions and more than two dozen impressive points of interest." Noted from 2 media releases on KVBI website: 1) "Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Receives Preservation Honor Award" Kailua Village. HI 04.29.11 — The Historic Hawaii Foundation presented Kailua Village Business Improvement District representatives with a Preservation Commendation award for designation of Alii Drive, "Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast," as a Hawaii Scenic Byway." 2) Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Receives Chamber Pualu Award Kailua Village, HI 06.24.11 — Kailua Village Business Improvement District and the Scenic Byway Committee's efforts in achieving Hawaii Scenic Byway status for Alii Drive, Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast, was acknowledged by the Kona Kohala Chamber of Commerce with the Chamber's 2011 Pualu Award for Culture & Heritage. Alii Drive as described in "Go Hawaii.com The island of Hawaii is the youngest and the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, boasting more miles and climate zones than anywhere else in Hawaii. This means that the island's roads offer exceptional views and roadside stories of a remarkable native culture. These roads were designated Scenic Byways for their archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and/or scenic significance, in an effort to preserve Hawaii's past for generations to come. Page 3 of 6 The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway is a seven-mile stretch of Alii Drive that tells the story of 700 years of Hawaii's alii or ruling class. This byway is rich in history, leading you past four of Kona's seven "Royal Centers," treasured locations chosen for their abundance of natural resources and recreational value, and reserved exclusively for use by Hawaii's kings and queens. Among them are Hulihee Palace, one of three palaces in the United States; the royal surfing grounds of Kahaluu; Hawaii's oldest Christian church; and several heiau, sites of sacred Hawaiian temples." The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway travels along Alii Drive on the Kona Coast from Historic Kailua Village through Keauhou, making it a pleasant trip by car, bike or on foot. This byway is sponsored by Kailua Village Business Improvement District. ' Kona Coastline is a unique & beautiful natural resource, please do not let develop at the expense of the people!

Our island is the youngest island, and can't develop as fast as other islands more than .2m1. or so younger..., that means we do not have much natural defense in filtering the water before reaching the ocean. 9.

For Heaven Sakes, Kahakai Elementary School is only one lot away from you. Last Tsunami warning, 1/4 away from your project Royal Poinciana, no one could get out of their driveway. All of Ali'i Drive Dead Locked, on top of Traffic Accident...We have no Tsunami Evacuation Plan,just a Siren to set a Panic Attack. Thousands!! of cars/people travel Ali'i on a Daily Basis. Projects since 2016 has been no go! PAST HISTORY!! The County had the money for the Alii Highway and Lako, it's been a YEARS OF NO GO!! SINCE THE BURIALS, HISTORIC SITES, AND ARCHEOLOGY!! ...MONEY BEFORE PEOPLE LIVES! BASED ON THE TOPLISS VERSUS PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION (9 HAW. APP37. 842 p.2d 648 (1993)the impacts of the proposed development upon traffic system cannot be a basis of a SMA Use Permit application. Traffic concerns can be considered in a SMA permit if traffic affects other criteria listed in the SMA Law, such as public access to the sea or " TRAFFIC ISSUES CAN BE A BASIS FOR DENYING AN APPLICATION, or for conditions that mitigate traffic problems, if traffic from the proposed project would be inconsistent with the goals and policy of the Coastal Zone Management Act: FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE TRAFFIC WOULD HAMPER FOR THE ABILITY TO EVACUATE A TSUNAMI HAZARD AREA! SEE ATTACHED POLICE LETTER. Tsunami Killed 159 People, We Need to Take Precaution! for the Safety of the PUBLIC. It's not only Tsunami, Also, HIGH HAZARD BIG WAVES. PAST HISTORY!! The last project you represented for the Bed and Breakfast on Ali'i Drive, Gary Klever own it back in the 70's, a HUGE WAVE over 20 feet took the ENTIRE house away,not a single piece of wood left. The neighbor saved the Parrot. Respect the POWER OF THE OCEAN,WE NEED TO TAKE PRECAUTION, AS OUR LIVES ARE AT STAKE!! EARTHQUAKES WILL TRIGGER AND ITS A MATTER OF WHEN THE MEGA ONE WILL HIT US!! YOU DON'T LIVE HERE, BUT, WE DO!! ALOHA, Simmy McMichael On Thu, Jun 3,2021 at 11:16 AM LPH info <infoCa,,landplanninghawaii.com>wrote: Aloha Ms. McMichael, Our office is assisting Jekaterina Mysin with her Special Management Area Use Permit Application for the construction of a six (6) unit condominium development on the property located at 75-6150 Alii 1 142264 Drive. We received a number of opposing testimonies from Hawaii Island residents, yours was among them. The intention of this development is not to cause disharmony within the community and so we wanted to reach out to you individually to attempt to address some of your concerns. We don't presume that this letter will change your opinion or garner your support, but we do want you to know that our office and the applicant have heard your concerns and we will do our best to mitigate them should the Application be approved. We understand that you are also particularly concerned with the effects a possible tsunami. This is an understandable concern. We live on (mostly) active volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are subject to many potential hazards as a result. Without new developments and the increased tax base they provide, our County will not be able to afford the infrastructure improvements so desperately needed that would lead to better evacuation corridors. Also, one of the main concerns that was expressed in the opposing testimony related to design of the building. Much of the testimony expressed that the modern aesthetics of the proposed building did not conform to the "feel" of the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant has heard this concern and is working with her architect to come up with an alternative design which we hope you will find more suitable for the Ali'i Drive Scenic Corridor. Please review the attached rendering of a new aesthetic that we feel conforms more to the existing development in the area. You also expressed some concerns with regard to archeological sites. An Archaeological Field Inspection was conducted on the subject property and was submitted to the State Historic Preservation Division. The survey found no evidence of historic or cultural resources requiring preservation. This finding was confirmed by SHPD by letter, stating "no historic properties will be affected" by the proposed project. Further, if any archaeological finds are made during construction, work will cease and only proceed after clearance from SHPD and the County. Should the proposed project be given County approval to move forward, we hope that this additional information and the proposed mitigation strategies alleviate some of your concerns. Mahalo for your time and consideration.

It bods down to ening on the side of caution. In the case of cbmaie science, there are uncertainties and challenges in defining the exact erpaciS but a growing Fist of observations provide evidence to see that our environments and communities are at risk The precaulronaryprrnciple suggests that society should take prcxicfive c*mate adaptation action because inaction could lead to further harm. There are seven 'no regrets" approaches in clornate adoptoiion, employing strategies that serve to benefit communrfies regardless of the magnitude of future climate changes through hazard rnifrgotron, resource conservation and economic efficiency simultaneously. Preparing for climate change krgely entails better preparation for the natural hazards that already threaten our communities such as coastal eroron, flooding, hurricanes, and draught. A "no regrets" approach may appeal to Chase who may not see the need to react to ciinote change due to the long-range projections of major impacts, but may see value in the same action to prepare and mitigate for exrsting natural hazards 4441 Issetwiti 1 • sib rte r 4a" y w.ri•RA Mirkxne Ink damage, Kant 1992. lice Asato, Honoliu S7arAdvatisa UH Sea Grant, Climate Charge Impacts Report, pg. 5 Mori, Ashley From: Simmy <simmy808@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 14, 2021 8:53 AM COH PLANNING DSP T To: LPCtestimony LUN 14 2021 PH1 02 Subject: Fwd: Opposition SMA 21-000078 5 story condo Attachments: Ala kala 150 feet shoreline June 2021 jpg; Ala Kala Zendo to Pipan letterjpg; Ala Kala new seawall old seawall sign Personal Injuryjpg; Ala kala Personal Injury sign June 2021.jpg; Ala Kala Surfjpg June 2021 jpg; RECREATIONAL RESOURCES HRS 205A jpg; Banyan Tree condo pool into shorelinejpg; Banyans photo entire Bali Kai looking from Makai to Mauka 2019.webp; KAHALUU CLOSE UP SEWERjpg; Kona Lagoon Demolishedjpg; Keauhou Beach hotel done Demolished jpg Aloha Leeward Planning Commission, I will be on Zoom for your hearing June 16, 2021 Since Covid, I cannot be in person with my billboard.
