Just got the email from DRI that work on the housing subdivision on Makahu'ena Point is going to start in September. Some of the homes will be in front of the P@P. The email tries to down play the impact on the resort, but for the lower ocean side units in Buildings 3 and 4 there is an impact: the view will be roof top fence view instead of ocean view or partial ocean view.
It sounds like starting in September the area will be fenced in and if they cover the fence the view is not going to be much. The plan calls for 12 ocean front units and 2 luxury single family homes.
Every time we have been at the resort I have asked about this development and was always told that there was nothing going on, but DRI was watching it closely. Sounds to me DRI got caught with its pants down!
Of course it really isn't a 'DRI problem" anymore; it is Global's problem now. Hopefully they will be aggressive in pursing this because the value of P@P is going to go down.
What amazes me is that the Kaua'i County Council would ever approve such a development on Makauh'ena Point. I can't see how it would ever pass an environmental study, if one were ever done.
Need to nose around and see if I can find the plat.
Cheers,
Paul
