PLAN TO PROTECT KONA <br /> 74-5602-A Alapa Street <br /> _ Suite 725 <br /> - Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> <br /> Honorable Leningrad Elarionoff 6/29/04 <br /> <br /> 25 Aupuni St. <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Re: General Plan c <br /> c <br /> Aloha, Leningrad!!! - <br /> At the June 15'" workshop in Kona, you described the process used to develop the ~ <br /> ElarionofflArakaki version of the General Plan and asked us to then judge the final product, Fair <br /> enough -but what to judge it by7 <br /> ~n <br /> The Elarionoff/Arakaki plan must be judged by comparison to the General Plan submitted by the <br /> Planning Director in January 2002. The January 2002 Plan was developed after many months of <br /> <br /> public workshops and public hearings before the Planning Commission and the County Council. <br /> The January 2002 plan legitimately represents the consensus of the people and groups from <br /> around the Island. <br /> Unfortunately, the Elarionoff/Arakaki plan eliminates duplication at the expense of substance, <br /> achieves compactness by eliminating important policies and measurable goals. By our count, the <br /> Elarionoff/Arakaki plan "Draft 2" omits 20 new policies and omits three maps changes to the <br /> LUPAG maps that were a very important part of the January 2002 plan. These are described in <br /> the 14 June letter from Mr. Chris Yuen to the Planning Committee. <br /> Perhaps if you had involved the Planning Departmem in the process of re-organizing Draft 1, then <br /> "Draft 2" would be representative of the intent of January 2002 General Plan. He did not: "Draft <br /> 2" must be judged defective. <br /> The Elarionoff/Arakakip!an needs to be shelved and Draft 1 of the General Plan voted with <br /> whatever amendments the County Council feels appropriate. <br /> If the Council does not vote to shelve Draft 2, then PTP recommends more meetings to gather <br /> public response to "Draft 1"and"Draft 2" before the council votes on either. <br /> Duane D.
