This topic has a thread that already going strong on the political forum at:
http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21149
and I believe kalakoa said it best when he said:
I maintain that building a public park in a private subdivision is not an appropriate use of public money -- and the issue is not "does HPP deserve a park" (based on population or tax revenue or whatever justification), it's simply that HPP is apparently unable to guarantee safe public access to that park: users of the park, and emergency responders to any incident in that park, will need a proper road with a maintained surface, clear visibility, regulation striping and reflectors...
Any subdisivion that wants County to build them a public park should be required to provide a public road to that park under the existing "bring it to code and gift it to County" procedure. Not only does this eliminate the "access issues" mentioned above, it makes the subdivision more of a "partner", guarantees that the residents of that subdivision really do want a park created, and mitigates any perception of a "free ride".
