Please excuse any mistakes I state hence forth. The University of Hawaii implemented a master plan for Mauna Kea around 2000. Judge Hara invalidated the conservation district use permit for the Keck Outrigger telescopes in 2007 because UH needed to implement comprehensive master plan for Mauna Kea. The existing master plan was deemed inadequate (UH was working on a comprehensive master plan starting in mid 2005, which was a year and half before Judge Hara's 2007 decision).
Fast forward to 2010. The University of Hawaii successfully pushed through a comprehensive master plan for Mauna Kea. Its only been FIVE YEARS since the CMP was enacted. Please cut them some slack, as they're trying to do the right thing.
