(PL-REZ-2022- 000017) <br />Application for a Change of Zone from an Agricultural- 5 acres (A-5a) to a Family <br />Agricultural- 1 acre (FA-Ia) zoning district for 5. 29 acres of land. The subject property is <br />located at 77- 6632 A Kuakini Highway, approximately 0.25 miles northwest of its <br />intersection with Kamehameha III Road, Pahoehoe Is'- Kapalaalaea 2nd ( Beach Sec.), <br />North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 7- 7- 008: 062. <br />I respectfully submit my statement of opposition to the change in classification status from SA (A-5a) to 1A <br />(FA-Ia). <br />One of my concerns involves the lack of a plan for wastewater management. <br />Perhaps the developer is envisioning that every lot owner would be required to Install a septic tank and <br />leach field. It is regrettable that this system of treatment requires adequate soil with organic matter to <br />provide the substrate for beneficial microbial action to act upon nitrogenous waste. Many rocky/sandy <br />locations in West Hawaii do not have the proper substrate for an effective on -site standard septic tank/leach <br />field treatment system. The county DEM is already aware of the inadequacy of the standard system. That's <br />why the DEM has been exploring the 'layer cake' septic system. It's a bit absurd to require the installation of <br />an expensive septic system when the outcome in many situations is that it doesn't do the job of treating raw <br />sewage.......... <br />It would be much better to be connected to the public wastewater collection system. <br />Another concern I have is for Endangered Species habitat. My understanding is that an official survey was not <br />conducted. <br />Archeological survey should be conducted again as the last survey was done 1987 and new burial grounds <br />have been discovered since. <br />SAFETY! Access to Kuikini Highway would clearly present a traffic hazard. <br />Speaking of Kuikini, we already experience slow traffic on Kuikini Highway, especially during work commute <br />hours. <br />Development must be done responsibly. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Dee Fulton <br />Holualoa, HI <br />pid et mg by <br />itiednn Rced__ <br />m <br />
