(Adopted
by Kula Community Association Board of Directors 5/4/00) The
Kula Community Association (KCA) Board of Directors supports the project
district process and supports the proposed Kula Lodge project improvements to
the extent that they are congruent with the Association's vision and purpose
stated above. Our Board does have
concerns with the proposed project in the areas that it is deficient in "maintaining
a rural atmosphere". We
believe the following potential impacts of this project must be addressed at the
Phase II stage of approval. Noise
Abatement 1.
Outdoor dining and parties should conclude no later than one hour after
sunset. 2.
Outdoor amplified music should not be permitted. 3.
Outdoor commercial activity, outdoor assemblies, or other retail
business, should not be permitted before 7 a.m.
4.
Sewage and water pumps, trash compactors, and laundromat areas should be
designed to be noise sensitive. 5.
Construction work should only be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Commercial
Activity 1.
The KCA Board of Directors supports the "produce co-op/farmers
market" concept presented and accepted by both the County Council and the
Planning Commission during Phase I
(March and April 1996). This would
limit sellable items to local fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
We do not support the proposed "convenience store/farm tool and
supply" concept. We endorse
the originally approved, specific use of the property. 2.
Bike rental and tour business should not originate or be staged from the
Kula Lodge prior to 8 a.m. (8 a.m. for school bus safety). 3.
Delivery functions and loading/unloading areas should be completely
on-site and off of the highway right-of-way. Height
Restrictions The
building height restrictions of 35 feet should be strictly enforced. Water The
project should follow the Makawao-Pukalani-Kula Community Plan with
respect to water allocation, giving first priority to the Hawaiian Homelands and
the farmers. |
