Council. There was one "kickoff' presentation, attended by over 160 persons, and five monthly <br /> <br /> presentations and briefings sponsored by the Community Action Committee where input was <br /> gathered. These public meetings were followed by one meeting sponsored by the Planning <br /> Department of the County. In early 1996, the Community Action Committee held two meetings <br /> <br /> at which changes were made to accommodate the desires of the community. The changes to the <br /> <br /> initial concept map are as follows: <br /> 1. The shoreline extended park area stretching the full length of the subdivision's <br /> shoreline has been deleted and will remain zoned agricultural. The reason for this <br /> change is the history of this area and the hard fought court battle between current <br /> residents of that area and the county to allow building. Prior to its current Ag <br /> zoning it was zoned conservation which did not allow for residences to be built. It <br /> is possible that through dedication of lands through gifts to Paradise Hui Hanalike <br /> that it may become a park but our plan should not be tied to that premise. <br /> 2. The light industrial area indicated on previous drawings has decreased in size <br /> from 175 acres to 20 acres and moved from near Highway 130 to a parcel owned <br /> now by the original developer and located two miles northeast of the intersection <br /> of Highway 130 and Kaloli Drive on Kaloli Drive and 14th Avenue. The reason <br /> for this change is that it would not change zoning in an area that has already 75 <br /> homes and that it would remove it from a strip along the highway to prevent strip <br /> development. It would also prevent a dispute between any developer and the <br /> county because the county has consistently fought development along major <br /> highways. This change also brings it more to the center of the subdivision <br /> providing easier access by residents and connects it to one of the stops on our <br /> proposed shuttle route. These previous advantages outweigh major disadvantages <br /> of not being on a highway and therefore users must transit via a private road, and <br /> that there is currently no county water distributed to the site. The size decrease is <br /> a plus to those who want no light industrial area at all but a disadvantage to a <br /> larger commercial enterprise who may employ some of our residents. <br /> 14 <br /> <br />
