Palamanui project

Aloha,
I strongly urge the council to mandate that HiluHilu use an alternative mauka connector road.Hawaii County Department of Public Works even admitted this in this article in West Hawaii Today http://tinyurl.com/od8je
"Makalei Drive was not designed or approved as a (connector) street,"
Kuba wrote. "It has 18 percent grades, a 50-foot-wide right-of-way and individual lots taking direct access from it. We also have some doubts about the feasibility of designing an intersection at the immediate end of Makalei Drive, which presently dead ends on a 15.7 percent grade."
Kuba noted that the Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the proposed Palamanui project assumes that access to Mamalahoa Highway will be via a new connector road to the north, bypassing Makalei Estates. He also notes that the developer's project summary states that the proposed bypass is being "actively pursued."
Yes I'm aware of the plethora of issues of using Lynch Investments property as an alternative route. But frankly there needs to be a resolution to this mauka connector road issue before the county approves Palamanui. It would be unconscionable the council allows HiluHilu to use Makalei Drive as the mauka connector road.
Best Regards,
