There's a lot going on in the Feb. 14, 2007 Maui News story
"Landowners want 'partnership' for parkway." Put simply, a bunch of
landowners, developers, contractors and consultants who want to build
gobs of residential subdivisions from Puamana to the Pali have offered
to build the county's proposed Westside shoreline park in exchange for
development rights along the park. "The consensus from everyone is that
this is a good plan," county Planning Director Jeff Hunt said,
according the story. [T]hey want a shoreline park—it's just a matter of
how to implement it." Leaving aside the fact that there's a huge
difference between a public park surrounded by open space and one
bracketed by homes, there's a lot more going on here than Hunt is
saying. For instance, many of the principals mentioned in the story
have donated money to Tavares. Like developer Steve Goodfellow, a vice
president—along with brother J. Daniel Goodfellow—of Pacific Rim Land
Company, is also part of Makila Land Co., which wants to build
subdivisions between Puamana and Olowalu. Big landowner Jim Riley is
also part of Makila, and he gave Tavares $250 last year. Makila Land
Co. consultant Rory Frampton is also a Tavares donor, though only for
$100. Then there's Olowalu Town LLC, which seeks to build more homes on
land owned by Riley and Peter Martin. Its representative is Bill
Frampton, whose firm Frampton & Ward gave Tavares $200 in August
2006.
