The president of Save Honolua Coalition, Kahu David Kapaku and Richard Moon, the president of the Honolua Advisory Council, plead for initiation of negotiations between Maui County Council and Maui Land and Pineapple in regards to preserving Honolua Bay and surrounding areas.
There are only two developments in Honolua, both zoned agricul;tural and both regarded as luxurious real estate: The Plantation Estates and Honolua Ridge. There are no developments oceanfront, but there are a few private homes.
Maui Land and Pineapple's initial plans proposed developing another luxurious subdivision, along with a golf course which may have restricted access to Lipoa Point. The local community had a very strong reaction to these plans and two organizations were created: Save Honolua Coalition and Honolua Advisory Council. For the past year and a half these two organizations gathered ideas from the public and presented them to Maui Land and Pineapple, who created a new concept for developing the area around Honolua Bay. In this last plan, Maui Land and Pineapple offers significant acrage in the area, to conservation and preservation, cancels all development plans and requests permission to build a boutique hotel as part of another project, that is still only in books, called Kapalua Mauka.
Please read the letter from the leaders of the two community based organizations to Maui News, explaining their intentions.
