My issue is not that the proposed rezoning is wrong or should be different. I just feel that the owner of any property who intends to do any development should be the ones determining what proper zoning they need. Not the seller of a property - who quite frankly is only trying to get this property rezoned - at a minimum – to inflate the potential sale price - while at the maximum - doing something I have seen done on the mainland literally thousands of times.
Further, you say:
“The owners of the property could probably use your advice. It would seem that any incoming businesses to Pahoa must meet the approval of their neighbors and any passing tourists. Perhaps rezoning by referendum is best?”
Purely a statement- totally void of any reality, truth or real meaning. Like me asking if you stopped beating your wife. The owners of this property are solely motivated in selling this property – and could care less about the future of the property or Pahoa.
I would think if this was such of a big concern for you politically as well as for the good of Pahoa, you would be burning mad that Fred skipped the vote. Instead you just continue to bait James into what his response would be. Me – even though at this moment I am off Island and was unable to attend in person this hearing, although I sent my written comments in, I could care less about James’ opinion and am, once yet again, ashamed of MY elected representative. Perhaps maybe we should ask what Emily thinks?
And further, why don’t you become our elected representative? You clearly have each and every answer – regardless o f what anybody thinks!

This is purely all about personality. You and a few others – for whatever reason – do not agree with the Hunts, specifically Tiffany. My comment about personality disorders was specifically targeted at Rob’s statement (as well as his statement being very flippant) – and I quote – “I am a bit alarmed about one aspect of this application. The organized opposition seems to be personality based.”
Just reading Rob’s take on this whole matter – the flippant comments – just puts this whole matter into the “I don’t like the Hunt’s” so I am for the rezoning – regardless of the points Tiffany, or anyone else for that matter, brings up.
I would call the allowing of a seller of a property - with no intent of actually developing the property themselves – to rezone a property to more or less be the definition of "hit or miss" zoning regulations.
Bottom line here – make the rezoning process a “slam dunk” for the NEW owner. Instead of the head banging ineptness the process really is. As well as outlaw any potential rezoning solely to allow a property seller to capture a higher price.
