116-unit housing project for seniors in Kula proposed
An architect who has specialized in high-quality resort residential
projects, Clayton Nishikawa, is proposing to build a 116-unit senior
housing project on Lower Kula Road. Kula Meadowood would include 70
affordable units and 46 market-priced units in what he described as an
age-in-place, independent-living subdivision on 85 acres of former
pineapple fields just south of Kula 200. Nishikawa said he is trying to
get a reading on community support for the project, which has not been
included in urban growth boundaries proposed for the county's General
Plan. As such, it would likely not be endorsed by the county Planning
Department.

Victorino proposes resolution seeking fairness for TVR operators
Operators
of transient vacation rentals who have been "caught in legal limbo"
because of the County's confusing and contradictory enforcement
policies shouldn't be punished, Maui County Councilmember Michael
Victorino said today. Victorino has proposed a resolution calling on
the County Administration to suspend enforcement actions against TVR
operators until the Council has had a chance to review and enact
legislation currently pending before the Council's Planning Committee.
The Committee isn't expected to review the bills submitted by the
Department of Planning and the planning commissions until June.
