As someone who has grown up in Kohala and has had many ties to the <br />people and has helped numerous community events, I have not ONCE seen or heard of Mr. Dwayne Cravalho except in <br />negative light. He is known in the community for buying random pieces of land that he cannot seem to upkeep. The <br />triangle that he owns in Hawi has been full of weeds and only as of recent, had it been decently maintained. There is <br />absolutely NO space for 6 parking stalls. If you were to physically drive by there, you would see that it is not a fit spot for <br />any type of food establishment whether it be mobile or not. <br />Mr. Cravalho states that he has been a long contributing member in Kohala and would not do anything to harm the <br />community, etc. but the people of Kohala are speaking up and we DO NOT want that area to be another establishment. <br />Another thing that I'd like to bring up is that the traffic in Hawi is bad enough, we do not need another establishment <br />and parking area to make it worse. It will not be a safe place for cars to park. <br />Please consider our voices and empathize that we DO NOT want or need a food truck location in Kohala. <br />Mahalo for your time, <br />Melanie <br />
