From: kapulei flores <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: 577 07.16.23 Laura Caverly Testimony WITH COMMENTS OPPOSED to Kaupulehu Land LLC Applications- <br /> July 20,2023 <br /> Date: Sunday,July 16,2023 5:48:49 AM <br /> Form Summary <br /> Attention: Leeward Planning Commission <br /> My name is Laura Caverly <br /> My email is <br /> reside at 96727 <br /> We urge the Leeward Planning 2) Rezoning prime agricultural lands (A-5a)to <br /> Commission to REJECT these commercial and residential is not in compliance with the <br /> applications for rezoning and Hawai'i County General Plan., 5)This proposed <br /> State Land Use boundary development would cause further traffic congestion in <br /> amendment for 64-983 this area., 6)This project doesn't conform to the <br /> Mamalahoa Hwy. Waimea Town policies of the South Kohala Community <br /> Development Plan that stipulates preservation of <br /> Waimea's sense of place, responsible growth, <br /> environmental stewardship, and developing affordable <br /> housing. <br /> Additional comments: Please take into consideration the long term creation of <br /> Waimea into a resident friendly, low traffic walkable <br /> town. Placing another building on the main highway far <br /> out of the town center does not serve. Currently the last <br /> time I tried to walk from near this location in to town the <br /> barely existent sidewalk was flooded with a river. This <br /> building will not increase Waimea's beauty but rather <br /> cause traffic problems, and even worse continue Turing <br /> this area into what could be lovely farms and homes into <br /> more industrial zone. It's important to carefully plan for <br /> Waimea's future so as not to ruin it. In addition it <br /> appears that there is a stream that runs through here. <br /> Please make sure to recognize the importance of <br /> protecting clean waterways, even seasonal was. It's a <br /> shame the way the back of KTA shopping center sits <br /> right on the river. Th stream could have been protected <br /> with space and an area to sit and picnic.Thank you for <br /> your consideration. Laura <br />
