Communication No. 2014-59 <br /> Patrick Conant <br /> P.D. Box 1172 <br /> Volcano HI, 96785 <br /> August 2, 2014 <br /> Mr. Duane Kanuha, <br /> Planning Director <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 101 Pauahi Suite 3 <br /> Hilo, H 196720 <br /> Dear Mr. Kanuha, <br /> I am writing to you today to file a complaint regarding the bright green Thai food truck that was <br /> parking at the end of Old Volcano Highway,at the low end of Volcano Village. It appears to be <br /> operating illegally on property zoned agricultural. I understand that the County has already <br /> notified the owner of his non-compliance and I thank you for that action. The location is highly <br /> visible from Highway 11 and I believe it constitutes a safety hazard for passing cars that pull off <br /> the highway there to get to it. Also,that"prime" but illegal location for tourist customers and <br /> local people headed to HVNP or Ka'u gives the owner an unfair advantage over legitimate <br /> businesses in Volcano Village. <br /> Lastly, I think Volcano community will not be opposed to the business operating legally within <br /> the commercial district of Volcano Village, assuming the owner can lease or buy a parking spot <br /> for the truck and acquire any permit(s)from the County as necessary. However, I would be <br /> very much opposed to the issuing of any form of special use permit that would allow the <br /> business to continue operation on Ag. zoned land in Volcano. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> atrick Conant <br />
