I remember saying, well before the lot was being prepared, that the Puna Community Development Plan should have included *form based codes* in order to preserve the look and feel of the area. The stores didn't need to be hidden, they simply needed some architectural details that would have allowed them to fit in. The same goes for the "other boxy, retail" place across the street from them. (Where Emily's office is/was)
