Item#3 Jack Vanderhoff& Sau-Yin Yeung <br /> Given at WPC 2-6-25 Hearing <br /> 2-3-25 Lianna Estrada Additional Testimony <br /> From: coovaidCcbhawaiiantel.net <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Change of zone application (PL-REZ-2024-000072) <br /> Date: Wednesday,February 5,2025 4:50:24 PM <br /> Importance: High <br /> Change of Zone Application (PL-REZ-2024-000072) <br /> Applicants: Jack Vanderhoff, Jr. and Sau-Yin Yeung <br /> TMK: 2-2-036: Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii <br /> Aloha Members of the Windward Planning Commission: <br /> I have already submitted written testimony but I wish to add to it. In presenting their <br /> proposed change to the property, they do not address how they intend to ensure the safety <br /> and privacy of the surrounding neighbors. By putting a business amid residences they are <br /> inviting strangers into our private spaces. I say that because as seen from the plan, they <br /> propose to put a driveway along one side of the structure right next to the neighboring <br /> house leading to a parking lot behind the building. This parking lot will be out of sight from <br /> the street. I consider anything fronting a street to be public space and anything out of sight <br /> from the road to be private. Anyone, driving in there will be allowed to look directly into the <br /> back area of my home. They will get to watch me do my laundry. They will be able to see <br /> and have easy access to everything I have stored. They will also be able to see into the <br /> backyards of multiple other homes. That is a very uncomfortable feeling. It is also not <br /> specified what potential lighting they might put in the back. Are we the surrounding homes <br /> going to be forced to put up with bright lights in our windows at night? We all have the right <br /> to the peaceful enjoyment of our homes without being imposed upon by a neighbor who <br /> wants to open a business where it does not belong. <br /> Thank you <br /> Lianna Estrada <br />
