Aloha My 2 Cents. Thank you for taking the time to share all of that. I know how much effort it takes.
I read one part of that case- found it on the internet- but it was a very small portion lacking the details you describe.
Is Orchidland planning on trying to push themselves through as a planned community and adopt 421J? I see on their website that they have removed the disclosure that says they are a Road Maintenance Organization, governed by 414D. I believe, again following HPPOA's lead, some of these voluntary community associations that are allowed to collect mandatory road funds, are going to try to reestablish and legitimize themselves as mandatory community associations. They will do this, because they want more money for more projects that are not roads- and the County and state will turn another blind eye (or help them to reestablish) because they do not want to sink any money into the substandard subdivisions themselves.
Actually, when I think about it, I believe Hawaiian Ranchos, in Ocean View, already pulled this stunt (adopting 421J) prior to HPPOA.
Stuart Oda made a lot of money dragging confused and uninformed owners through court. I had a huge binder, which I have since passed on, that contained letters from mainland and off-island owners who were dismayed, angry, and all in all clueless as to what was happening or why. Every one of those letters (unless it was one of the very few that was sent by an Owner's attorney) was answered with a mimeographed form letter- nice.
HPPOA is currently in the middle of another lawsuit, which they brought on themselves (adopting 421J, developing deed restricted land, siphoning off restricted road funds for non road projects). One of the attorneys representing HPPOA is named Oda, Barron Oda (have to wonder if there is a familial connection). Barron Oda, at one time, worked for the Bishop Museum- another interesting story there- but it is past time for coffee
