PUBLIC LAND DEVELOPMENT CORP TO CONTINUE
Civil Beat - September 6, 2012
The Public Land Development Corporation must now stoically plow on with its administrative rules because it’s “in conformance with the law.”
Senate Bill 1555 creating the PLDC was introduced by Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz on Jan. 26, 2011.
William Aila, current chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources submitted testimony contrary to SB1555.
At the Oahu public hearing on Aug. 29, 2012, former DLNR Chair, Laura Thielen, broke her silence and testified against PLDC and supported a repeal of Act 55.
SB 1555 passed without public scrutiny and was enacted into Act 55 by Gov. Neil Abercrombie on May 24, 2011.
Act 55 establishes the PLDC as a state development corporation attached to the DLNR to develop public lands placed under the PLDC jurisdiction, including but not limited to existing open shoreline areas, conservation lands, agricultural lands, and small boat harbors, for commercial purposes to generate revenue for the State.
PLDC has unfettered powers to develop and implement public lands projects and facilities to create revenue-generating centers as opportunities exist “to exploit potential local, national, and international markets.”
Act 55 allows PLDC to exempt development projects from regulatory oversight. PLDC now has over-arching powers to make optimal economic, environmental, and social use of Hawaii’s public lands.
The PLDC Board is, expectedly, stacked with pro-development cronies. Its executive director is Llyod Haraguchi, formerly with the Estate of the James Campbell. The PLDC Chair is Kalbert Young, director of the Department of Budget and Finance; Mary Alice Evans, deputy director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism; real estate investor/publisher partner with Star Advertiser Duane Kurisu, and former state Sen. Bobby Bunda.
No Hawaiian or environmentalist or John Q. Public is appointed to the PLDC exclusive board.
PLDC held its statewide public hearings on its proposed Administrative Rules and the public response was clear and decisively negative....

GRAND THEFT `AINA
Hawai`i Public Land Development Corp Lambasted
West Hawaii Today - August 22, 2012
Kona resident Shannon Rudolph took three words to sum up the major concerns West Hawaii residents have about proposed rules to govern the Public Land Development Corp.
“Grand theft `aina,” Rudolph said during a public hearing at Konawaena High School Tuesday evening, while referencing worries that the corporation, which state Legislators empowered last year to develop Department of Land and Natural Resources’ and other state land, would rob residents of open land.
Testimony during the two-hour hearing, which more than 50 people attended, was unanimously against the corporation and the rules, which, testifiers also noted, the corporation has the power to waive anyway. More than two dozen people provided testimony.
“This is how freedom is taken,” Jon Biloon said. “I can’t build a drying deck on my farm to dry my mac nuts without running through bureaucratic red tape. These guys are going to be able to dredge Honokohau Harbor. … The fact that our representatives passed a law to allow a corporation to ignore (land use laws) … this is the sword to our heart.”
Kaliko Chun questioned the rules’ legitimacy. “I am in opposition to rules that are a sham,” Chun said. “The rules are made for a total development of public trust lands.”
Several testifiers focused their comments on the 1893 overthrown of the Hawaiian kingdom government.
“Under the laws of occupation, proceeding with your projects, you will be committing war crimes of which you can and will be held accountable,” Robert Freitas Jr. said. “We know this is wrong. You know this is wrong and now you cannot say that you didn’t know.”
Only two elected officials — South Kona Councilwoman Brenda Ford and Rep. Faye Hanohano, who represents Puna — attended the meeting. No members of the Public Land Development Corp. attended, an absence an early testifier noted.
Ford called the PLDC legalized theft. “This is anarchy in process,” Ford said. “This new law erases all of the work we have done in order to protect our rights to our own destiny. The PLDC allows lawlessness and anarchy to reign because of greed under the guise of development of land for our people.”
She said she was disappointed that Gov. Neil Abercrombie, whom she supported, signed the enabling legislation into law, and she encouraged people to support Hanohano’s efforts to get the law repealed.
Hawaii County officials said they were concerned about the PLDC’s authority, and the rules that allow the corporation to bypass county planning requirements. “We just want to convey to DLNR that we want to have input,” Mayor Billy Kenoi said Tuesday afternoon. Fishermen, hunters and other Hawai`i Island residents have complained to Kenoi about DLNR restricting access to various sites around the island.
“This Public Land Development Corp. could exacerbate that sense” of being denied access to the island’s open space, Kenoi added.
He said he was trying to set up a meeting with DLNR Chairmain Willam Aila in the next few weeks to discuss his concerns. Planning Director Bobby Jean Leithead Todd said she planned to send several of her employees to Tuesday’s meeting, to gather information on the rules changes and the PLDC itself. She said she has a meeting already scheduled with PLDC Executive Director Lloyd Haraguchi to talk about the corporation’s plans.
“I would like them to comply with our general plan and the community development plans,” she said Tuesday afternoon.
Several people said they would like to see legal action taken against the state to stop the corporation.
“We’re going to fight,” Melvin Mason said.
