Communication No. 2015 -5 MOUNTAIN VIEW VILLAGE PLANNING GROUP January 29, 2015, 6:00 pm Mountain View Elementary School Cafeteria MEETING SUMMARY In attendance: Susan Langer, Hannah Hedrick, Patti Pinto, Heidi Hutchinson, Peggy Gentle We discussed recent items of interest. Hannah shared about the Volcano Long Range Plan meeting the previous evening. Hannah reported that they appeared to get bogged down in trying to deal with side details. We discussed the subdivision of the 50 acre parcel on Peck Rd. Our consensus was in agreement with the decision of the Action Committee. We also discussed the problem of additional businesses that are accessed via Highway 11 and the problem of growing traffic hazards in Mountain View. Of note, the propane business, although technically being accessed from the Village Loop, the traffic is actually turning and traffic backing up for turns on the Highway. As this business is near the Post Office, it exacerbates the already dangerous conditions on the Highway. Also mentioned were the additional proposed businesses on Highway 11 north of the Kulani intersection, a certified kitchen and large church. We are greatly concerned about more businesses being allowed to access Highway 11. Review of Accumulated Work Three additional summarizations of survey questions were added to our Survey Summary. We need to get the summary written by Sarah Shiraki and add it to our Summary. We are satisfied with our current summary as ready to be included in the Mountain View Village Plan. Mountain View Assets in writing so far, a road inventory, Water Supply, and Telephone and Internet Services. Susan agreed to interview staff at Mountain View Elementary, Heidi will conduct the interview at Na Wai Ola. We agree that our work to date on the asset survey will require additional data. We reviewed our reporting from the Culture and History Committee. The report is as comprehensive as we can make it and in combination with the photo library we have scanned it will make an excellent section. We discussed the ultimate format for our Plan being a website. Format for Our Plan After discussion, we decided to make our Plan follow the format of the PCDP. Patti volunteered to pull the relevant sections from the PCDP (sections 3 & 5) and to collate these with our survey responses. We decided to have a less formal meeting in February to digest this work and to resume our regular schedule of meetings in March. Design Guidelines We reviewed the Pahoa Design Guidelines. Although it does appear to require further discussion we decided that we need to pare these down to meet our needs (being less restrictive than those of Pahoa) and to determine where they need to be applied in Mountain View. We discussed the very real need to have signage regulations as our Village is bisected by Highway 11 and there is real possibility for sign abuse in our Village. We adjourned at 7:30 pm NEXT MEETING: THURSDAY, MARCH 12TH, 6:00 PM, MOUNTAIN VIEW SCHOOL CAFETERIA
