Parks
The development of parks within the project has been addressed
through the provision of public and private parks and recreational
facilities. A homeowner’s golf course, unique to Maui County,
is the primary recreational element within the project, which will
be supplemented by other public and private recreational facilities
located within the various residential and commercial areas.
In an effort
to demonstrate the project’s commitment to South Maui, the
project team met with the Department of Parks and Recreation to
discuss the little league facility presently required by conditional
zoning for the project area. It was agreed that given its proposed
location, the subject facility would not serve the public needing
the recreational facilities the most. It was agreed that funds generated
by the subdivision of land would be better suited to the development
of a regional park facility in Central Kihei, which would address
the needs of the community more directly.
There may be
up to $12.4 million in park fees paid through buildout which would
go a long way towards providing the capitalization for development
of active playfields in the newly acquired central Kihei regional
park facility. In addition to this overall approach and in response
to the deletion of the little league field, the project will pay
to the County of Maui $3.5 million upon zoning approval. This money
will be counted against future park assessment fees and could go
towards an immediate start of construction for the new regional
park facility.
