IT'S NOT OVER YET. AT THIS HOUR THE MAUI COUNTY COUNCIL IS STILL HEARING TESTIMONY ON THE PROPOSED HONUAULA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH MAUI. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT IN NOVEMBER THE PLANNING COMMITTEE VOTED TO APPROVE THE DELEOPMENT - AFTER YEARS OF TESTIMONY. BUT NOW THAT THE FULL COUNCIL HAS THE FULL MEASURE BEFORE THEM, PROJECT OPPONENTS ARE ASKING FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE WAILEA 670 PREOJECT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL EIS IS ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD.

THE MAUI CULTURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE WANTS MORE TIME TO REVIEW THE REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON MOLOKAI’S LAAU POINT. COMMISSIONERS COMPLAINED THAT THE E-I-S WAS BEING DISTRIBUTED ON CD ROM … BUT A STAFFER SAID THAT PAPER VERSIONS OF THE 1,600 PAGE DOCUMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO EXPENSIVE, EVEN FOR THE COUNTY.
