July 31, 2024 <br />Planning Department <br />101 Pauahi St., Suite 3 <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Reference: <br />Change of Zone Application (PL-REZ-2024-000057) <br />Applicant - Graphic Images Hawaii, Inc. <br />TMK: 1-6-003:081 & 129; Kea'au, Puna, Hawaii <br />This letter is being submitted in response to a proposed <br />subdivision to be situated in referenced TMKs. <br />I am a current resident in the Ola Hou Estates subdivision which <br />is adjacent to the north of the proposed subdivision. My home <br />is at the south end of Ohiohi Street which appears to be the <br />only proposed access to the planned subdivision. <br />When we purchased our lot, Ms. Laurie Higashi had told us that <br />we wouldn't have to worry about any homes being built next to us <br />because the nursery next door cannot be subdivided. With <br />respect to the Higashis, as we consider them to be friends, we <br />were surprised to hear that the property was recently sold to <br />them and they were planning to subdivide the property. <br />Therefore, I won't oppose their plans to subdivide the adjoining <br />property. <br />However, I do object to having the only access that would be in <br />front of my home. I specifically purchased my lot for the <br />privacy and lack of vehicular traffic. I have no objection to <br />the subdivision as long as it has its own entrance separate from <br />our subdivision. Although that would be my preference, I would <br />be okay with Ohiohi Street as one entrance, as long as there <br />would be an additional entrance into the other subdivision. <br />This would help to alleviate the noise and dirt due to traffic <br />in front of my home. <br />Mahalo for your time and consideration in this matter. <br />Al Ferreira Jr. <br />16-4002 Ohiohi Street <br />Kea'au, Hawaii 96749 <br />(808) 365-2704 <br />paniolo650@msn.com <br />
