Luquin's
MEETING NOTES
Present: Mark Hinshaw, Patti Pinto, Jon Olson, Larry Brown, Elmer Solis, Madie Greene
Luquin's Parking Lot
It was reported that Dr. Shapiro has vacated the premises of the building that requires demolition. Understandable
delays have pushed back the demolition completion date, but the process has begun.
Puna Meeting:
There were discussions about the various topics addressed at the Puna meeting. The consensus of the Pahoa Regional
Town Center Planning Subcommittee is that we will focus on the need for a consultant to be contracted to create the
Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan and to oversee the completion of a wastewater treatment study.
Other topics covered were: What were the deficiencies of Civil Defense response to Iselle? PGV? How do we get the
designated County departments to address the action items in the PCDP? With a new planner on staff at the Planning
Department will we be able to devote more focus to long range planning? Will the new planning director help to
streamline the permit process? We discussed various funding methods and requirements for infrastructure
improvements in Puna.
Our bottom line: We need a consultant for the Pahoa Town Center Plan and to oversee completion of a wastewater
treatment study now.
