'Once you develop it, there's no turning back,' Parker said of the Honokohau project. Parker has urged the County Council to hold off on new rezonings until the county has completed a new Kona community development plan. One Kailua resident who is questioning the pace of growth is Doug Parker, who owns a business doing home and commercial property inspections for buyers and sellers. Long, daily traffic tie-ups in the Kailua area have prompted some residents to call for a moratorium on new development until the state and county can build a network of roads adequate to accommodate more growth. 'I think roads and traffic will be an issue.' 'I want to support this, but the community benefit has to far outweigh the drawbacks,' Higa said. That water circulation will keep the marina cleaner and more clear than an ordinary boat harbor, he said.Д«ig Island County Council Chairman Stacy Higa said the project promises to 'put Kona on the map as one of the premier harbor destinations in the world.' However, Higa said, county officials will have to study the project carefully when it is submitted for rezoning and other approvals.

'We really want this to be a place that can bring what is really Kona out in front, a place where people can enjoy themselves and focus on the character of Kona,' he said.Д«uildings in the project would be cooled by ocean water pumped into a cooling plant near the mauka edge of the development, and water discharged from that cooling process will be used to feed a series of man-made salt water lagoons that would flow back into the marina, Tarnas said.

It also would include 52 acres of commercial development along the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway. Tarnas said the developer plans to provide a 42-acre shoreline park as part of the project, which would include 1,800 timeshare units and three hotels with a combined total of 670 to 770 hotel rooms. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources selected Jacoby as the developer in 2004, but is not expected to actually sign a lease with Jacoby for the 350 acres until next year. The project would be built on 350 acres of state land and about 200 acres of Hawaiian Home Lands near Honokohau. Jacoby representative David Tarnas said that would require at least a 12-foot-deep excavation over the entire 45 acres, and the excavation might have to be deeper. As a condition of the lease, the state is requiring the developer to build an 800-slip marina out of a lava field. However, the cost of merely excavating the marina near the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor will be enormous.

expects to make in the 530-acre waterfront commercial village planned near the edge of Kailua, Kona. Spokesmen for the Kona Kai Ola project declined to estimate how much of an investment Atlanta-based Jacoby Development Inc. While jobs are plentiful in Kona, workers can't afford to live there, so many drive hours to get to work each day. The additional housing could ease a crunch in West Hawai'i, where rents and housing prices are at sky-high levels. I will add more projects to this thread when I have time with renderings too but for now I just wanted to start with something to get the thread rolling.Д¤5-acre marina may be built in Kona lava fieldДЄ developer who plans to carve a 45-acre marina out of a North Kona lava field will also build two miles of road to ease Kailua traffic congestion, and may construct 500 to 1,000 affordable 'workforce' housing units, according to newly released details on the proposed project.
