Committee Reports

Land Use and Planning

Church Sign Design: Barbara Long updated the Board on the Upcountry Christian Fellowship Church proposed sign. The proposed sign will be a large plastic sign illuminated internally.  She requested that the Board write a letter and testify about the sign.  She also requested that the board look into amending the community plan text on signs so that each time a sign was proposed the community would not be required to spend hours on input. The Kula Malu Village Design Guidelines were discussed as a guide for signs.  They do not allow plastic, internally illuminated signs.  A subcommittee on signage was formed with Hari Ajmani,  Gina Flammer, Steve Sutrov, and John Wilson as members.  The group agreed to meet and write a letter and position paper for the Board to review at the January meeting. 

Kula Malu Development Lighting: Barbara Long informed the Board that the Planning Commission has put a condition on the zoning change application for the Kamehameha school campus that unnecessary lighting should be turned off.  This currently amounts to half of the lighting.  This will now go to the County Council Land Use Committee in January.   Shields were previously requested on the streetlights.  Currently only one light has a shield. 

Waipoli/Kanehi Rezoning:  A nine acre subdivision is going in above Rice park.  It is being rezoned to rural.  The Board had no position on the rezoning at this point.

Kula Meadows Development:   John Wilson reported this development off of Pulehu Road just below the Kula agricultural park is underway with the 188 acre parcel being subdivided into 14 lots of 5 to 6 acres each and two larger lots of 20 plus acres.

Safety

Street Addressing Project:  Marjorie Hill reported that the project was allocated a grant of $12,000.  The money has not been released.  A timetable is currently being set for the project.  The grantor has requested that seniors have priority on the receiving the address numbers to be placed on their houses.  Marjorie will need volunteers to contact seniors who do not respond.  Verna Nahulu and Gina Flammer offered to make visits. 

Water

Water Meters Issuance and Priority List:  At a recent BWS Commitee Meeting, Benni D'Enbeau presented testimony for MAUCA and Elliott spoke for KCA.  The MAUCA group  requested a meeting be held upcountry and for the waiting list for meters to be put on the Internet.  (There are 803 names on the list.)  The KCA Board requested the same, plus written guidelines clarifying the priorities and exceptions to the list.

Unfinished Business

AKAKU Contribution: The AKAKU bill received will be adjusted to reflect the $500 previously appropriated by this Board.  Dick Mayer will send a letter and the $500 contribution to defray the costs of filming the two election candidate forums.   Dick will report at our next meeting on the possibility of AKAKU filming a general meeting.

Newsletter:  All articles must be submitted by January 15th.

New Business

E-mail list:  Steve Sutrov requested that we put the newsletters online and send postcards to members asking them to look online.  Due to lack of time to discuss the issue, the issue was postponed until the January meeting. 

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 7:15pm.
