Cravalho (REZ 21-000248) <br />Via email: LPCtestimony@hawaiicounty.gov <br />Hawaii County Planning Commission, <br />As I've done on each occasion, I am again submitting testimony against rezoning of TMK: (3) 5-5-009:019, re: D. <br />Cravalho (REZ 21-000248). <br />Nothing has changed from my prior testimonies. The parcel is and will always be inappropriate for what is <br />being sought with the zoning change. And, of note, no one I've spoken to is aware of any so-called community <br />outreach at all by Mr. Cravalho in regards to his request leading up to this latest Commission meeting. <br />The parcel is directly adjacent to our "Welcome to Historic North Kohala" sign. It is directly fronting a busy <br />road and intersection with no reasonably safe egress to either Akoni Pule Hwy. or Ho'ea Road. It sits directly in <br />front of a COH law officer's rip vate home! It is adjacent to the quaint building that is home to the North Kohala <br />Community Resource Center. There are no sidewalks for safe access by pedestrians to the parcel from Hawi <br />town center. <br />This tiny parcel has no business becoming commercial space. Such an operation in this vicinity would be <br />aesthetically shocking and a safety hazard for cars and pedestrians. <br />Please don't approve this zoning change request. Respect historic Kohala, respect our rural landscape and <br />please, help us continue to cherish and hang on to the charm of Hawi. There are other, more logical places for <br />Mr. Cravalho's commercial endeavors and I wish him success.... just not in this particular location. <br />Mahalo, <br />Vicky Kometani <br />PO BOX 213. Hawi, HI 96719 <br />
