MOUNTAIN VIEW VILLAGE CENTER PLAN WORKING GROUPS MEETING APRIL 11, 2013, 6:OOPM,MOUNTAIN VIEW SCHOOL CAFETERIA • Frank Commendador opened the meeting with introductions of attendees. He presented his proposal, made to District 5 Representative, Zendo Kern, to extend South Lauko Road down to Puhala. Frank reported that he had spoken with land owners along the road and had received positive responses to the proposal. The County has paved half of the distance. The remaining road access goes along the borders of land locked agriculture lots (50 acres), crosses a seasonal stream bed. The land is primarily used for grazing. The benefits are to open a road makai of Highway 11 that might be useable for light industrial/commercial use, to give safe access to and from Mountain View Village and the school and to provide a second exit route from Fern Acres. • Discussion on the boundaries of our planning area culminated on a decision to include the generally defined areas from just beyond Oshiro Road north to just beyond Kukui Camp road to the south, to extend east to the subdivisions and west to Stainback Road. • Discussion of what do we want to see in the Village Center; • How do we want it to look? • what measures will enhance growth? • do we want commercial growth? • how will it impact residences? • What kinds of businesses do we want to attract? • Frank, Nadine and Garth agreed to meet and generate a survey, referring to the Pahoa survey, for Mountain View.' • Patti agreed to seek a large map of our planning area. • Clyde Shiraki gave a report on the progress of the Culture and History Committee.
