Why does County Council think it a good idea to take land that is currently zoned ‘agricultural’ in Makena and rezone it to ‘urban’ so more homes can be built?
There are already lots there that can be built on. This looks like a greedy landowner wanting to just put more homes on smaller lots in a very sacred and popular area that we should be striving to keep as undeveloped as possible. Why does County Council need to support someone’s greed? What is wrong with just the few homes that current zoning would already allow?
The matter of the much larger Makena Resort development is coming up for consideration, and this is a troubling sign of what is to come.
What is the compulsion on Maui to keep rezoning to allow more development? And it is troubling that some plans for rezoning don’t take into account the recommendations of the General Plan Advisory Committee that worked so hard to present intelligent ideas and with the feedback of the community involved in the entire process.
I don’t understand what the County’s mandate is. They have proven that they don’t feel the need to respect the public testimony they get. Just where do they get the additional information outside of the testimony they hear that sways their votes? And always for more development.
Thanks to Maui Tomorrow & SaveMakena.org for paying attention to these matters so people like me can learn enough to make our feelings known.
