HOW WE GOT STARTED, WHO WE ARE, AND "What makes Hawaii Kai Livable?"
 Kamilo Nui Valley - It all started on April 22, 2004 with a street banner that read, "What Makes Hawaii Kai Livable", and a mission to help preserve Kamilo Nui Valley from residential development because it is outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). In our efforts to protect the Valley, we realized from the many letters we received from Hawaii Kai residents, that there were too many quality of life and environmental issues that needed to be addressed so we established.......Livable Hawaii Kai Hui. .... We are your friends and neighbors. We are citizens like you, with valid community concerns. We connect on issues such as traffic, congestion, aging infrastructure, zoning, and urban sprawl. We are for maintaining adequate open space and the preservation of the agricultural lots in Kamilo Nui Valley and other areas in East Honolulu.
 Protecting the Urban Growth Boundaries of East Honolulu - Kamilo Nui Valley, The Ka Iwi Coastline, and the Paiko Ridge Parcels. We have unanimous support from our community, Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board, and our city and state officials.

 The Farm Lots of Kamilo Nui Valley. In the foreground, the farmer's road curves around the Spillway where rainwater flows into the Hawaii Kai Marina. Kamilo Nui Valley is a natural
watershed that aides in protecting the ecosystem that filters and flows out to Maunalua Bay. The Farmer’s road has provided the leaseholders with ingress and egress for the past 35 yrs. The Farmer’s co-op was formed in the early 1970's when they were uprooted from the Lunalilo Home Road farmland to help pave the way for future Hawaii Kai development. The Farm land is owned by Kamehameha Schools.

It's simple. Our mission is to uphold the integrity of the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities Plan.
We have many goals but our primary ones include:
1. Educate residents on issues that impact the quality of our lives and increase community input and involvement at the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board meetings.
2. Learn and share the knowledge about our wetlands, natural and scenic resources, cultural and historic landmarks. Encourage community stewardship.
3. Preserve the agricultural farm lots in Kamilo Nui Valley that serve as a natural watershed and open space for our community and the visitors that are passing through.
 One of the best ways to learn about the growth and development of our community is to understand the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities Plan. Here you will learn about the city's vision for East Honolulu as well as understand development guidelines regarding setbacks, height restrictions, what the urban growth boundary is and why it is so important. Reading this plan is only the start... You need to couple it with keeping a watchful eye on who wants to build what, where and when, and research it to see if it is in violation of this plan. For example; did you know that Kamilo Nui Valley is outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) and that according to the city's vision it should remain that way through 2020? Did you know that from 1995 to 2020 residential growth should be limited to no more than 6,000 new residents? Did you know that commercial expansion should be limited to the boundaries of the current retail centers? Click on the link above and read!
