At that meeting I spoke to the staff from the Planning Department and highly recommended that Keaau <br /> be labeled as a major urban area <br /> or at least a Medium density Urban designation. <br /> Keaau is unique in that the Shipman Ltd has much of the land around Keaau Village. Shipman already <br /> published in the newspaper in early 2024 the subdividing of land makai and makua of Keaau Village road <br /> 130 into small housing lots. My understanding is that they will eventually subdivide their land that is <br /> makua of Shipman Park which is a huge area of land that would become housing lots, possibly close to a <br /> one thousand lots <br /> or more. <br /> In 2020 when the census was taken, the population of the area around Keaau was a mixture of urban and <br /> rural. With the likelihood of Shipman Ltd. moving ahead before 2045 with their urban density <br /> subdivisions, this must be considered at this time when making the General Plan. <br /> Already Shipman developed the Shipman Industrial Park, which is light to heavy industrial that fits into <br /> the definition of <br /> High-Density Urban (HDU). <br /> Has the Planning Department talked in detail with Shipman Ltd about the General Plan <br /> and their company's development plans? <br /> Please reply to this email. <br /> Mahalo! <br /> Martha Morishige, member of Puna Community Development Committee <br /> On Wed, Oct 9, 2024 at 11:58 AM General Plan Team <GeneralPlan@hawaiicounty.gov>wrote: <br /> General Plan Engagement and Updates <br /> Date: 10/03/2024 2:59 PM <br /> We are excited to announce several important updates on the General Plan website!
