Roads Are Easements Not Planned Communities Or HOAs

[Paddleman]

Hilo Julie - I’m assuming that you are a licensed attorney in Hawaii since you seem to be providing legal advice/opinion to the posters here.  Brava for pro bono work!  However, any “attorney worth their salt” and who has actually done the legal research would know that the arbitration clause in the HPPOA bylaws is not valid and not binding on any of the HPPOA owners.  That is why the lawsuit was permitted to proceed without arbitration.  As for “not being versed in the entirety of this lawsuit,” perhaps you should “get versed” before giving legal opinions.  Just a thought…

Thank you Tutu808 for your first post on PunaWeb!

I see you too have also joined the ranks of the “I got nothing to hide” crowd, yet you went through the four (4) separate and distinct keystrokes to set your profile to “hidden.”

Nonetheless, welcome aboard!

To be clear, I am NOT a licensed attorney in Hawaii. So, your assumption on that is wrong.

Further, as I have stated, I am not versed in the entirety of this lawsuit, thus, I gave my frank honest opinion of the matter and further as I have also stated, I have no “skin in this game.” I am not a resident of HPP. I am contributing to this issue here on PunaWeb as a person, just like you and just as you did here on your first post.

Again, even though you like to “hide” in the bushes, welcome to PunaWeb!

"b) Ratification of Renewal of agreement for Ted Hong, Attorney for Foreclosures"

Let's be clear on that, as it clearly has some confused.

In as much as HPPOA CANNOT (ETA: Well, they can actually. But it's a whole different ballgame than just a lien filing. And it would cost the Association upwards of 5 to 10K) foreclose on someone's property due to nonpayment of road fees, the Bank that holds any mortgage, or perhaps maybe there is an IRS lien or the like, could indeed foreclose. 

However, that being said, in the matter of any foreclosure by a bank etc., HPPOA has a vested interest in that property as to any unpaid road fee assessments and/or I do believe when a property "changes hands" in HPP there is a transfer fee to be paid.

Ted Hong's retainer agreement would be to represent HPPOA in those circumstances and is not there to steal poor grandma's home for 500 dollars of unpaid road assessment fees!

Could you clarify the "I've got nothing to hide" crowd, four (4) separate and distinct keystrokes to set your profile "hidden", you like to "hide" in the bushes comments. I am new to PunaWeb and I am not sure if I set up my profile the same way and how or why this matters. How do I look at Tutu808 profile because when I click on her comment nothing pops up so I'm curious on how you researched it and where you got your information. I'm just curious and trying to educate myself about the this site. Mahalo in advance
