1st of all - in our perspective - before HARC was even formed as a semi autonomous entity - the then HACA board was both community issues and road issues .
The then HACA sued it's residents with money sent in as donations for the roads via the land court,not once but twice .
This failed in the land court twice as the land court stated that,a private corporation could not sue it's own residents with monies donated for road maintenance and other social functions of the non profit .
What the land court did state was that if residents them selves banded together as a hui ,and at the time in the 1980s came up with between 50K and 100K - the land court would consider the request but it may take 5 to ten years to resolve this issue as in the original deed we all have as lot owners , no where does it state that dues are mandatory .
Being that costs have risen since that time of HACA suing it's own residents ( lot owners ) - one can only guesstimate that the cost will be in the millions of dollars to petition for mandatory dues by a hui of non board members or their friends to have an equitable system of mandatory dues in Hawaiian Acres for both boards and it's residents that they represent .
