NECA RESIDENTS RECENTLY LEARNED THAT A COMMERCIAL ZIP LINE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY TOWNE DEVELOPMENT AND FLYING HAWAII ZIP LINE IN THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT (DESIGNATION P1) ABOVE NEWTOWN/ROYAL SUMMIT. THIS LARGE (475 ACRE) LAND PARCEL CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH WAILUNA, HAPAKI STREET, AND KAAHELE STREET. THE ZIP LINE'S MAIN ACCESS ROUTE WILL BE THROUGH THE TOP OF KAAHELE STREET. THE NEWS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT CAME FORTH FOR MOST OF OUR RESIDENTS THROUGH A KHON2 NEWSCAST. THE NECA BOARD OF DIRECTORS WERE INFORMED OF TOWNE DEVELOPMENT PLANS BUT THE INFORMATION WAS NOT PROLIFERATED BY THE NECA BOARD AND THEIR POSTIONS ARE NON COMMITTAL AT THIS TIME. THE DEVELOPER WILL BE SUBMITTING A CONSERVATION DISTRICT USE APPLICATION (CDUA) WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE DNLR OFFICE OF CONSERVATION AND COASTAL LANDS (OCCL) FOR ANY USE OF IN A CONSERVATION DISTRICT. AFTER TOWNE DEVELOPMENT HELD TWO (2) INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS FOR RESIDENTS THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE STILL TROUBLESOME. THERE IS STILL A LACK OF DETAIL RELATED TO THIS LARGE PARCEL OWNED BY TOWNE AND NO DETAIL OVERLAY ON EXACTLY HOW THE ZIP LINE WILL BE ESTABLISHED ON THIS CONSERVATION PARCEL. SUBSEQUENTLY QUESTIONS COULD NOT BE ANSWERED IN CLARITY BY TOWNE DEVELOPMENT AND REMAIN AS POINTS OF SPECULATION AND RUMOR BY RESIDENTS> THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERES AND CLARIFICATION AND INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: 1. SPECIFICS OF CONSTRUCTION. 2. IMPACT OF TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION. 3. POSSIBLE INCREASE IN CRIME AND SECURITY CONCERNS. 4. SAFETY CONCERNS. 5. POTENTIAL NOISE ISSUES 6. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO CULTURAL, ARCHEOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, AND NATURAL FLORA/FAUNA EFFECTS. 7.

HAVING STATED THE ABOVE OUR INFORMAL NEWTOWN RESIDENTS GROUP ASKS THAT ALL RESIDENTS RAISE THEIR CONCERNS AND SIGN THIS PETITION AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS ZIP LINE UNTIL ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AND FULL IMPACT DISCOVERED THROUGH CAREFUL ANALYSIS AND THROUGH AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS).
