: I am very glad you attended the meeting and I hope you come again. I ATTENDED IN SUPPORT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD'S WANT TO LOWER THE 25MPH SPEED LIMIT I still think building commercial businesses so close to
our park and school is not right. BUSINESSES EXIST NEXT TO SCHOOLS AND PARKS NATIONWIDE! I don't know where you live MILILANI MAUKA but, I will bet the property value of the homes near the businesses will go down. MCDONALDS AND TESORO HAD NO NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE VALUE OF THE TOWNHOMES OF KUMELEWAI COURTS AND GARDENS (IN FACT JUST THE OPPOSITE) I also suspect that the businesses will be a distraction to the kids going to and home from the middle school where there is not any now. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF KIDS ARE EITHER BUSSED TO OR DROPPED OFF AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL NOW. CONSIDERING THE ENROLLMENT THERE, I DON'T SEE THAT MANY WALKING TO SCHOOL These businesses will also bring more traffic from cars, trucks
and more trash to litter our park and streets. THE ARTS CENTER WILL BRING A PLACE TO EXPRESS YOUR ARTISTIC SIDE. FROM WHAT I HEARD, MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS WILL BE FOCUSED ON (AMONG OTHER TYPES). STORAGE FOR MAUKA HOME OWNERS (FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR STORAGE--NOT ME) THIS SERVICE IS LONG OVERDUE FOR THE AREA. ON UKUWAI RIGHT OF THE NEW MAUKA DISTRICT PARK WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER LOCATION. BUT, OH WELL.however, the landscaping used is the design is not usually included or never gets planted.TREES ALREADY LINE MEHEULA ON THE PROPERTY WHERE THE BUSINESSES WILL BE (ARTS CENTER AND STORAGE). C & C HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD ABOUT KEEPING THE AESTHETICS OF ALL OF MILILANI CONSISTENT. CAN'T THINK OF ONE "EYESORE" IN MILILANI.:
