Honorable Leningrad Elarionoff, Chair Planning Committee Hawaii County Council Page 2 Apri122, 2004 Public notice under Bi11231 should be clarified. At the initial stage, when the corridor is being considered by resolution, it maybe enough to notify all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the road in question. But notice should be broader when the CMP is being considered. At that time, we will know the boundaries of the proposed CMP, and notice should be given to all owners of property within the CMP boundaries and all those with property within 300' of the proposed CMP boundaries. I was also asked to comment on the Mazch 4, 20041etter from the Legislative Auditor. I agree with comments nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16. Re no. 3: the detailed study should be done after the initiation of the process by resolution, to lead up to the CMP. Re no. 8, sec. 25-5-63 should be reworded to read: "Within the scenic corridor all Zoning Code regulations applicable to the zoning district or districts in question remain in effect unless differing regulations aze contained in the Corridor Management Plan as adopted by ordinance, in which the Corridor Management Plan shall apply." Re no. 9, on funding: the Planning Department supports the concept that an appropriation should accompany the resolution, because it would probably be difficult to prepare the CMP entirely in-house, but it might unduly limit the Council to require this in the ordinance. Re no. 15: the term "enabling ordinance" is being used in two senses. In one sense, Bill 231 is an "enabling ordinance", because it authorizes this program and sets up the process. But Bill 231 also refers to an ordinance that adopts a specific CMP as an "enabling ordinance." Re no. 18, which refers to potential issues with utilities: the utility companies should get notice of the initiation of a scenic comdor, and of the consideration of a CMP, so that they can give input. I apologize for the delay in answering this request. Sincere CHRISTOPHER J. YU Planning Director CJY:pak Wpwin60/Chris/Scenic Comdor.doc cc: Ms. Connie Kiriu, Legislative Auditor Ms. Nancy Pisicchio
