M- There is the museum. Some of the older buildings seem to be undergoing <br />preservation. <br />M- What else is there, besides the museum? (the Museum is lovely by the way, and i <br />appreciate it very much) <br />EXISTING NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS RELATED COMMENTS (MALLS) <br />N- i loved the way pahoa was 20 years ago ... the malls are destroying the beauty of <br />pahoa... <br />N- It's good because nothing has been done - thank God - preserve Pahoa's old style - <br />keep it old style for new construction (big box stores suck) <br />N- Junk doesn't need preserving. Just because it is old doesn't make it valuable. <br />N- Letting Long's, Burger King and Chicken is not (underlined) right <br />N- No more chain stores! <br />N- NO MORE CHAINS!! (e.g. Longs, KFC) PLEASE - local shops & stores ONLY. This will <br />help preserve the culture. <br />N- Pahoa needs a form -based code that maintains that all new buildings keep the look <br />and feel of the current downtown area. Longs, KFC, Burger King, are abysmal in their <br />corporate look. <br />N- The new shopping center (Longs, Burger king, KFC) really ruin the historical look of <br />the town. I am very glad the new Museum opened. Maybe there can be classes and <br />presentation on the 'old ways "? <br />N- There are still old buildings and some sense of history around (main street, Akebono, <br />etc.), however is there any security for that or can it just be bulldozed away by private <br />developers? New developments are ugly (Long's mall, Malama mall) and do not enhance <br />Pahoa. Could be any highway strip mall anywhere. <br />N- Ugly chain businesses ruining historic charm. <br />N- With all the commercial development, Pahoa is losing it's charm and cultural identity <br />as a former cane town. <br />GENERAL PRESERVATION COMMENTS <br />O- Could be lots worse. Thank you for doing what you do. thank you for not trying to <br />make it look like any place else. <br />0- getting better but need more community involvement <br />O- Good enough. <br />O -1 hear they don't kick out students for doing hula anymore from Kamehameha <br />Schools. <br />O -1 like the old- school feel of the neighborhood. <br />O -1 would say this item seems to be handled well as I do read about some of it in the <br />news paper. <br />O- ? ? ?? Don't know of any <br />O- better <br />Cultural and Historic Preservation <br />Page 5 <br />
