According to the Machado Acres Association, as part of the covenants of the sales agreement for lot owners in the Machado Acres Subdivision, each lot owner automatically becomes a member of the Machado Acres Association as a condition of ownership. Further, in accordance with the By -Laws of the Machado Acres Association, the purpose of this nonprofit organization is to administer an 8_± -acre park site (TMK: 2-4-29:28 and 2-4-60:1) which had been set aside by the developer as a public park area. Although the developer donated $10,000 to the Machado Acres Association in lieu of developing the park, the park was never developed due to the high cost to prepare the land, which far exceeded the money available. It is also stated that the Machado Acres Association is legally liable for any injuries that may occur on the designated park area, and therefore, the Association prefers to eliminate all liability, that the Association and its members are presently subjected to. As a solution to this liability problem, the Machado Acres Association requests that the Machado Acres Subdivision be rezoned so as to separate the designated park site from each lot. The park site would then be dedicated to the County of Hawaii for park recreational purposes. • ►1 W C u : ♦ 01 v @.
