UPDATE 9/17/15 KCA participated in both LUC meetings with three directors testifying at each one in a unified community message condensed to: While in full continuous support for affordable housing, especially rentals, but don’t ignore important other community issues in the process.

While many direct neighbors object to this kind of development (rental apartments in 3 story buildings) in this single home area, we try to take an overall South Maui perspective considering general resident perceptions, and our Smart Growth Scorecard’s grade after our Design Review Committee examined plans last year.
As always we encourage everyone to participate at either or both meetings to offer your point of view
