I will name a couple of the attorney's, who were around early on and attended to and understood Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) for what it was/is. As well as what David Watumull's purpose for Hawaiian Paradise Park was, as told by him and related by Rick Edwards, whose historical account is on the HPPOA website.
The Sunday Star Bulletin, March 27, 1960, David Watumull Is A Young Man On Fire
"Watumull classifies the two developments this way, 'Hawaiian Paradise Park is an investment subdivision. King's Landing is a resort, residential subdivision of Hilo.'"
July 15, 1975, Paradise Hui Hanalike Board Meeting, Discussion with Tim C. Leuteneker (Transcript of tape)
**Leuteneker was PHH's first attorney and was the one who got the dirty snowball rolling**
"This subdivision wasn't put together the way most subdivisions are put together nowadays-- it doesn't have a mandatory community association. "
August 1978, article by Rick Edwards on the history of Hawaiian Paradise Park, as relayed to Paradise Hui Hanalike and still posted on the HPPOA website.
"I know there was a plan for this (HPP) to be an undeveloped subdivision and King's Landing was to be a developed subdivision."
Civil No 6595, Stuart Oda
"We make it abundantly clear that by enunciating this rule (that easement holders must equitably pay for its maintenance) we are not establishing Plaintiff as a quasi-municipal agency."
It should be noted that both the court and Stuart Oda made reference to Paradise Hui Hanalike not being a planned community association, or even a mandatory community association. The court felt this was a problem and that "enforcement of these obligations (road maintenance fees) would result in a multiplicity of lawsuits." However, Stuart Oda was adamant that regardless of Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) not being a planned community association, or even a mandatory association, this "structural disorder" would have "no bearing on road maintenance."
Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) never was, is not a mandatory community association and HPP was never a Planned Community.
