My issue is that WOL decided to open a school, they picked a location, they started school at that location, they operated the school at that location, and they had children on-site. But, they did nothing before operating to make the place legal. There was absolutely no community contact other than trying to get students. They did this like a thief in the night.
"SHUT THEM DOWN!"
That's the phrase I'm using in writing to everyone in any elected or appointed position regarding their operation. If they don't, the County, its taxpayers, and all residents can expect developers to seize this for their own good. I showed this to my brother-in-law and he said if the County does not act, and let's it go, they have opened the doors for developer lawsuits over zoning.
hhhhmmmm! makes sense now, forgive me, maliciousness is really,really hard for me to comprehend. It is my hope your only speaking from fear and nothing else.
I would be interested in knowing how you think a
developer would be able to exploit the situation? Or is that the only thing you can think of to get folks against WOL. Maybe your brother-in-laws name is Mr.Rosenberg or Maybe its Mr.Katz.[}

] so to speak, not very surprising[B)] just revealing.For someone with such a strong opinion you have very little accurate information. But I will explain, not that it's for you necessarily, but some folks may be interested.
As far as the schools in HPP go;
We obtained off the record advice from a co. official, he also told us about HRS 302A-1184 which basically says County zoning codes do not apply to Charter schools.
Notified neighbors within the required 300 ft, we even notified a few farther away that we knew personally.
Conformed to the health and safety codes with help from many contractor Dads/community members,families.
We, as well as the other owners have been working on the special permits from the beginning.
Charter School Review Panel asked Chris Yuen to follow up on a complaint.
The appeals process which we filed for, allows you to continue operating until the appeals decision.
Special permits will be applied for, before the hearing date.[
]Charter School Review Panel calls Fire Marshall, inspection done.
Said our schools need a catchment valve for fire hose hookup and fire safety doors/handles on main exits.
Charter School Review Panel calls Building Division, cease and desist order issued for lack of permits to operate a school.
Charter School Review Panel says schools have to move to a commercial location or WOL will lose their charter.
This thread is beginning to turn into that catty, immature, negative, hurtful one that was deleted. So I'm out. But guess what, nobody really cares, write all the letters you want on your private school dollars, nobody cares.[
