pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Rob Tucker - 01-02-2007 Important Council vote threatens the future of Pahoa Village businesses On Thursday Jan. 4th the council votes on Bills 220 & 221 which create the first commercial zoning on Hwy. 130. This legal precedent could pave the way for strip malls on the highway. Commercial development on Hwy. 130 would threaten every Pahoa business. Do you want this? Tell all council members to vote NO on Bill 220 and Bill 221 Council members phone: 961-8225 Council member email addresses go to: http://co.hawaii.hi.us/council/districts.htm While the Puna Community Development Plan is in progress it is inappropriate for such rezoning applications to be approved. Community input, via the CDP is to maintain the rural character of Puna. One commercial development, benign as it may seem, will lead to another. Do we want strip malls, car lots, bars and neon lights on our primary road way? Do we want mainland style development? What about traffic safety? Bill 220 (2004-2006): Amends the State Land Use Boundaries Maps for the County of Hawai‘i by Changing the District Classification from the Agricultural to the Urban District at Keonepoko, Puna, Hawai‘i, Covered by Tax Map Key 1-5-7:53 (approx. 3.317 acres). {Timothy Lynn Gardner, Applicant.} Re: Comm. 680 Intr. by: Mr. Pilago Approve: PC-4 Bill 221 (Draft 2) (2004-2006): Amends Section 25-8-26 (Pahoa Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), by Changing the District Classification from Agricultural (A-1a) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-1a) at Keonepoko, Puna, Hawai‘i, Covered by Tax Map Key 1-5-7:53 (approx. 3.317 acres). {Timothy Lynn Gardner, Applicant.} Re: Comm. 680.1 Intr. by: Mr. Safarik (B/R) Approve: PC-5 RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - mikewj - 01-02-2007 Rob: Do you have an e-mail address for council members? I live off Island, am building a home in HPP, and I'd like to record my opinion as being opposed to any kind of strip mall development. RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Rob Tucker - 01-02-2007 The current porposal is a self-storage facility. Could be anything once the commercial zoning is in place. I suggest you directly refer to bills 220 & 221. I have added the web site with council email addresses in the message above. Contact all council members. They all vote on it. Mahalo RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Beachboy - 01-02-2007 quote: yikes!!!! self-storage facilities are Oahu's answer to the homeless problem. Let's hope the Big Island doesn't pick up that mentality too. With all the homeless on Oahu, instead of building affordable housing. They build these self-storage facilities so the homeless can store their belongings!!!! It pisses me off evertime I see them, and they are going up everywhere on Oahu these days. The intent is not noble that is for sure! I'd sure hate to see Puna start doing the same thing. RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Lokahi - 01-02-2007 At present we are off island property owners, however, agree with Rob and spoke our voice to council members regarding our strong opposition to these bills. All of you who post so freely, frequently and vehemently should do the same. Mahalo. RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Iju - 01-02-2007 I just sent e-mail to District 3 and 5 council members (J Yoshimoto and Emily I. Naeole) who represent Keaau and Puna asking them to vote NO on Bill 220 and 221. Should I send to other members even though they're not representing Puna? Here are their e-mail addresses: jyoshimoto@co.hawaii.hi.us enaeole@co.hawaii.hi.us Val RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Rob Tucker - 01-02-2007 I think that District 1 may reconsider this vote. Dominic Yagong. Definately include him. RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Iju - 01-02-2007 Done. His e-mail address is dyagong@co.hawaii.hi.us Thanks, Rob. RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Kapohocat - 01-03-2007 Rob - Is this down by the school? or up the hill ? I couldnt figure it out. -Cat RE: pending Council vote threatens Pahoa Village - Rob Tucker - 01-03-2007 It is on Hwy 130 within sight of the Pahoa Village entry. |
