At that <br /> meeting you asked for the recommendations of the Action Committee on potential sites for <br /> establishing new commercial centers including those already proposed in the Puna CDP. <br /> Our Town Meeting Subcommittee contacted most of the community associations in the Pahoa service <br /> area in order to get local input regarding the suitability of potential sites and to gauge individual <br /> community support for establishing commercial centers on or near community association owned <br /> lands. While we received very few responses to our inquiries, all of those we did receive were very <br /> positive and supportive of the idea. However, some that responded most favorably to the idea of <br /> establishing a village center on their community property, such as Hawaiian Shores Community <br /> Association, may unfortunately be in the path of the lava flow. <br /> Questions asked by the Town Meeting Subcommittee: <br /> 1. How much acreage does your community cover? <br /> 2. What is the current zoning of your lots? <br /> 3. What is the current infrastructure of your community center? <br /> 4. How big is the lot in which your community center is on? <br /> 5. What commercial endeavors are you willing to temporarily house? <br /> 6. Are there any restrictions to what you might be able to temporarily house? <br /> 7. Do you have water access? If so, what type of access? Also, do you have a water purification <br /> system for drinking water? <br /> Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
