Another project coming to North Shore
It's not 3,500 hotel and condominium units at Turtle Bay Resort or exclusive beachfront homes on agriculture property in Kahuku, but a plan to create 26 house lots on a large family homestead near Waimea Bay is raising more community concerns over development on the North Shore.

Sierra Club Joins in the Lawsuit!
...The Sierra Club joins Keep the North Shore Country in its concerns that the Kawela Bay Project - - now being undertaken 20 years after the original EIS was completed - - will have significant impacts and cumulative effects related to increased visitor trips, increased peak and non-peak traffic, increased demands on water resources, wastewater capacity and infrastructure, sensitive wetland and endangered species habitats, and aesthetics values which were not present in 1985 and which have not been properly evaluated or considered by the County or KRC...

Brownouts argue against new building
Honolulu Advertiser
Can we handle more development given the electrical brownouts on O'ahu?
Oaktree Capital would like to build 3,500 hotel rooms and condominiums on the North Shore. This is great for jobs there, but the consequences of this development far outweigh the benefits.
Tourists and locals will be hot during the summer months because HECO is unable to handle the demands now. The rural character of the North Shore will be damaged. The traffic will be a big headache during the large-wave season and weekends.
In addition, Stanford Carr said there is a critical need for family housing in Hawai'i Kai — 200 to 500 million-dollar air-conditioned homes in Kamilo Nui Valley — and Paiko Ridge Partners would like to build and sell million-dollar air-conditioned homes on 338 acres above Niu Valley.
Hawaiian Electric cannot supply the electricity now and in the near future. We need to unite to save the livability of O'ahu and Hawai'i.

Another resort plan on the North Shore
Pressure and attention is mounting on the Turtle Bay resort plans but just down the road another resort is quietly being planned. Though initially given media attention, this plan seems to have all but disappeared from the public's view. How or why would the Laie Hotel Redevelopment plan affect the Turtle Bay plans? That's the question.
Headed up by Hawaii Reserves Inc. (a private land management company owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), this plan has reportedly had the support of the majority of the Laie community, made mostly of church members. It also significantly increases the capacity of the current hotel accommodations. The Marriott company is a likely candidate to manage this property as it is ajoining and planned to theme in a like manner to the Polynesian Cultural Center, of which Mr. Marriott is on the board of directors.
As a Kaneohe resident who sees the bulk of PCC and tourist traffic headed to the North Shore, not to mention an out-of-control commuter traffic problem, any increase in traffic is going to be a problem. This is more far reaching than just the North Shore.
