Please keep major development out of the historic Pahoa Town. Please renoviate buildings. <br />I'm proud that we have so many restaurants although 2 Pizza places within downtown is a bit <br />much, I hate strip malls and would like to see more input into their development aligned with <br />our history <br />Planning zones for development that include input from the estates that surround Pahoa could <br />make Puna the envy of the Islands and the rest of US and the world <br />There are some good shops & grinds in town. "Poor" grade is for all the recent development <br />that is all about cars and parking lots. New county offices are not walkable, need car to get <br />there safely, should be right in town. Malama mall and Long's mall are ugly and car - dependent, <br />no safe ped or bike access, especially for youth and kupuna (elderly). Town is sprawling out, <br />please let's not make it worse. <br />What a mess!! malama /Longs area WOW... someone planned this!!? <br />Developments need better guidelines, guide for architecture, more green space, better traffic <br />flow <br />I'm adamantly against more concrete. Pahoa's charm would suffer <br />let's keep businesses in one area and not make the city an urban concrete jungle when <br />businiesses fail! <br />There is a great opportunity for Pahoa to make itself into a beautiful, functional historic village <br />that is attractive to locals as well as tourists. Clean up the buildings on the main street, install <br />new street lighting so people feel save, offer some development incentives to attract new <br />business, Look at closing part of main street as a walking only area, with secure parking feeding <br />different points of access. <br />I feel sad about development right on the main highway, where Longs is and KFC. Ugly. Please <br />install parks and beautiful places for strolling before development <br />Need to keep the charm and uniqueness of Pahoa. Stop boring ugly commercial development. <br />This may not come as a surprise but what needs to happen is for Pahoa to not fall into the same <br />rut Hilo is in. Take a look at Kona and Waiamea.... plan better and bigger, bring in better <br />builders and planners. <br />Development Page 11 <br />
