Concerns about PHCA BoD's Questionable Actions

Concerns about PHCA BoD's respect for their fiduciary duties

We hope you will stand with us to prevent Isaiah Francis, an Employee of Starwood Capital Group – the developer aspiring to develop Princeville's open spaces - from attaining a seat on the board. Please VOTE!

Objection to Board Nominees, Deadlines and Nominating Committee Issues - Pollock email to PHCA Board

Unresolved process and legal issues surround the 2023 PHCA Board Election. Noncompliance with PHCA Bylaws and timely qualification of candidate Francis may challenge its validity.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the apparent inconsistent application of rules used to accept/deny applications for the election to fill PHCA board positions.

An Existential Threat to the Quality of Life in Princeville - Waimaumau, a “Hawai‘ian Village” tourist attraction with all that comes with such a development.

Open to watch a short video of Andy's oral testimony at the Nov. 3rd, 2021 Kauai County Counsel's public hearing on Bill 2838.

We are writing in support of Bill 2822 which the Planning Commission will be reviewing for the second time on September 14, 2021. We strongly believe that commercial developed campgrounds should NOT be allowed on Open-zoned land and for that matter, should be tightly controlled going forward no matter what zoning area might be selected for their development.

This is a letter penned by SOSHui.org to the Planning Commission prior to the 7/13/21 public hearing on Bill 2822. If Bill 2822 is passed, it would restrict Developed Campgrounds to Resort and Commercial-zoned properties and not allow them on zoned Open Space.

Aloha Kaua`i Planning Commission, I recognize the importance of the decision regarding Starwood Capital Group. Its expansion of the 1 Hotel into a second resort of fifty glamping units on the Woods Golf Course holes 1-3 is concerning. I studied the issue and attended presentations by the developer.

Bill 2822 makes important changes to the definitions of “Developed Campgrounds” and “undeveloped campgrounds” under Section 8 of the CZO relating to transient accommodations. We strongly believe that commercial Developed Campgrounds should NOT be allowed on Open or Residential-zoned land and should only be allowed on land zoned for commercial or resort use.

I am a homeowner in Princeville and wanted to share my strong feelings on the Glamping proposal to tarnish our cherished community. We left the mainland and moved our family of five here and have fully embraced the island and community. We are humbled and blessed to be here.

I have been very concerned by the proposal to introduce glamping to Princeville; my concerns were greatly increased by Jason Cruce’s sales pitch to the community at the Makai Club on June 10th. His talk only fanned the flames of community opposition.

This project was not meant to be. The area was not structured to have this additional housing when it was built and the infrastructure was not put in place to support it. Why are we being asked to allow a developer who purchased the property knowing what it was and what it was used for to allow them to change the allowed use of the property for them to be able to get more money?

I am writing in regards to Bill 2822 that has passed the first reading at the County Council. This bill, if adopted into the current CZO, would preserve our community character and peace and safety for generations to come as it has for the past 50 years.

You are Princeville’s first line of defense against ANY developer taking away ANY green space in our planned community. We count on you to represent all of the community. Please don’t support this or any other developer’s effort to remove this open space and change forever the flavor and beauty of Princeville.

Glamping in P.V. should not be allowed. It is not fair to the homeowners. Can’t believe that the golf course can enforce all of their ridiculous rules to P.V. home owners and not even reciprocate in a neighborly fashion with decisions that effect our community...
