Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - Hopefeather - 05-16-2006 My husband and I are interested in a house in Lanipuna Gardens. We're living in the Huelo area of Maui right now, and looking forward to coming to the Puna district. We love the house / land in Lanipuna, and we're excited about it, but we know very little about the subdivision itself. We've heard rumors about the Geothermal Plant being a health hazard... We've heard rumors of all kinds -- seems like it depends on the eye of the beholder. Any thoughts / suggestions / warnings ... we'd be happy to know about any of it. hope RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - leilaniguy - 05-16-2006 Aloha Hope, Go to google, type in the words hawaii, geothermal, lanipuna. Several articles come up. I live nearby in Leilani, I'm not worried. RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - pslamont - 05-16-2006 The way the geothermal plant works is that water is pumped down a hole to a olava hot spot... it produces steam... as the steam risess, it turns a turbine... electricity is created. Helco has done its best to bash geothermakl r/t competition issues. There are no more chemicals or gasses released than are through normal activity. IMHO, go for it and enjoy!! Pam Just another day in P A R A D I S E !! RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - Royall - 05-16-2006 The fellow I work with said there can be a lot of very loud noise when they are in the drilling mode. While drilling the machines will run 24/7. When he worked there, there was a lot of sulfur dioxide (rotten egg smell) in the air. Royall What goes around comes around! RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - mella l - 05-16-2006 We looked in Lanipuna extensively, were interested as it is a small area and we met some lovely people while searching. This was 2004. We luckily learned about Albezia trees before we bought, so check out and Google albezia trees and be prepared.

Leis - 05-16-2006 IMHO, Lanipuna Gardens is one of the most underrated subdivisions in east Hawaii. Basically it has everything that makes Leilani Estates attractive without the CCRs . . . paved roads, county water, home mail delivery, etc. For all intents and purposes the S/D consists of only 3 streets. Virtually all the lots are 1 acre in size but are more 'squarish' than those in LE - 130' wide as opposed to 100'. On the downside there several areas with HUGE stands of albezia trees notably at the end of Lauone St. and near the intersection of Hinalo & Pohoiki Rds. Also, most of the area is lava zone 1. aloha, Gene RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - miketat - 05-16-2006 a post from Konaforum from last year (unfortunately the original post from J. Rabi is not there anymore and I could only get this one from the cache - it's not on the forum anymore) quote: sorry gene I didn't see that you reposted your own post. michael http://www.punaguide.com Edited by - miketat on 05/16/2006 17:20:35 RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - Hopefeather - 05-16-2006 Thanks for all of the replies to my post about Lanipuna ... it's all very helpful. hope RE: Lanipuna Gardens Subdivision - emorata - 05-17-2006 FYI - Just in case you don't know lava zone one means that most insurance can only be accomodated by state hazard insurance (a requirement for any mortgage loan) so it will be very expensive to get this type of insurance unless you can continue the current policy with the insurer.....as an example my hawaiian beaches home is only 1200 square feet 2bed/1bath but my monthly insurance for being on lava zone 2 is approx $230 monthly for an older home...if you want to consider better coverage insurance wise look for properties where lavazone 3 is the norm. best, noel |
