Presentation On An Alternative And Sustainable Way For Growth Based On Maui’s Historic Small Town Character
Video presentation
Maui Is An Island Of Seperate And Distinct Small Towns And Rural Communities
Maui’s people want small towns; distinct planning guidelines will assist in getting what we want.
Why housing alternatives and options are important.
What are the possible impacts of changing the rural nature of Maui?
Since 1990 we have been warned about suburban sprawl.
To plan correctly, we need to look beyond 20 years? What do we want Maui to look like in 100 years?
Maui's small towns grew as natural and self-sustaining communities.
Will Maui growth patterns support continued development of large lot subdivisions?
How Do We Address Traffic And Infrastructure Needs?
We need a defined vision in order to focus on infrastructure.
With a long term vision, there is time to build needed infrastructure; spawl is created by looking at short term infrastructure needs.
We can reduce traffic by reducing the number of times a person has to get in a car to meet their daily needs.
Our current zoning laws require that we get in a car to do everything.
Federal highway standard used on Maui are all about the automobile and the fast flow of traffic.
How Do We Change Growth Patterns On Maui To Support The Vision Of Separate And Distinct Small Towns And Rural Communities?
Our zoning code and subdivision laws cause unsustainable growth; we need to adopt a “Smart Code” like 230 other communities around the nation.
How can we address existing communities like Kihei.
What is the “Smart Code” and how can it assist us on Maui?
We have been stuck in a development model based on the automobile and cheap oil.
How You Can Become Involved And Help Shape The Future Of Maui.
Why it is important to provide the GPAC comments on the Draft Island Plan.
Why proactive versus reactive planning is important.
How you can participate in the GPAC process.
If we want better planning it will start with people being involved.
Why options are important.
Contact the General Plan Advisory Committee and give your view on transportation corridors for future non-automobile transportation options.
