Mark Johnson and I are owners of Unit 315 at the Villages at Mauna
Lani. We are opposed to this development for the following reasons;
traffic, sewage, water, and road safety at Kaniku Drive as well and the
Queen K highway. The influx of traffic on Mauna Lani Drive will also
affect property values in the immediate area. Environmental tests were
done a long time ago and no longer apply to current times. We've been
told by the MLRA to reduce our water consumption by 25%; a strong
indication that the lack of water is already an issue here. Also, our
landfill is overused.
The Resort area itself is overcrowded. There is no room at the Mauna
Lani Beach area for additional guests. Parking is limited, often filled
to capacity to the point people have to be turned away. Our
restaurants at most times cannot accommodate the amount of people
already here let alone adding to that situation. Reservations at many
restaurants are three weeks out. Then, we have the addition of
corporate events that take place here which considerable foot and
vehicle traffic.
We strongly oppose your moving forward with the development of Site M.
