Thanks Tiffany for clarifying how Emily's Amendments came to pass.
I was present at the Planning Committee meeting until the end.
I believe it was March, 2005, right after the County adopted its General Plan, when then Council Member Safarik requested an unscheduled meeting with some members of the HPPOA Board of Directors. I was on the HPPOA Board at that time. I was informed by a staff member in the HPPOA office of that meeting, Gary wanted the Board's support for a road through HPP.
HPP had an existing Master Plan approved by a County Resolution,(in 1998) which was never enacted by a County Ordinance. We all know what happens without codifying resolutions of this nature.
The HPPOA Community Master Plan evolved from a charrette back in 1994, if I recall correctly. (I moved to HPP Dec. 25, 2003 .)
The HPPOA Board discussed Gary Sararik's info/request. He said that if HPPOA revised its existing Master Plan, then he would make sure that a Revised HPPOA Community Master Plan would be included by amendment to the new 2005 Hawaii County Master Plan. Well, he didn't have the authority to make that happen. And, he lost his re-election bid.
I treasure this new day in Puna.
A hui hou,
Barbara
