UPDATE Jan 18,2013 Hre’s what the site looks like this morning (Friday 1/18/13)
While much of our community is waiting to hear (on Jan 24,2013) the State Land Use Commission’s (LUC) decision of what may legally be constructed on the vast stretch of mauka land of Eclipse Development of Irvine, CA, marked by the tall black dust fence for past several months in N. Kihei, we see activity on the north side of the Shell gas station for a much smaller parcel of land, with a much shorter black screen, next to the batting cages. Do you know what is to be constructed at this site? We understand it will be some type of storage facility.
they should build a low rise condo building there, it would have nice views overlooking kihei.
IMO: Why would they waste money before a decision is made? After all, the decision COULD be No and so all this ongoing activity would be a waste. The answer is because the decision will not be No, it will be Go Ahead, and has already been made, years ago. This is the slow-release-valve theatre we see in all unilateral, money-made decisions that affect the public: Drag it out until no one can stand thinking about it anymore – interest and protest wanes – construction continues at an intensified pace.
This is partially similar to the method used in the ongoing gasoline pricing squeeze, i.e., getting us ‘used to it’ over time. Otherwise known as the ratchet method.
Responses welcome,

Mahalo for the comment. I would just clarify that this is NOT the site being considered by the LUC regarding the so called “mega malls.” This is on other side (north) of the shell gas station
The only construction Maui needs that no one ever builds is TOURISM RELATED construction!
All this is going to be is more crap!
