The <br /> Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of these facilities. Because of the <br /> limited State resources, we aze required to seek opportunities to develop resowces to fund these <br /> mandates. A key element of obtaining funds for the operation and maintenance of the harbors is <br /> the ability to develop and lease ancillary commercial/industrial areas around the existing harbors. <br /> In reviewing the proposed revisions to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide map <br /> as shown on North Kona Map No. 3, it is our understanding that the mauka portions of the <br /> Honokohau Small Boat Hazbor are proposed io be revised from "Urban Expansion" to "Open". <br /> This is part of Proposed Revision No. G-14. Attached, please find an enlargement of a portion of <br /> North Kona Map No. 3 which shows the approximate boundary of the Honokohau Small Boat <br /> Harbor boundaries in relation to the Proposed Revision No. G-14. <br /> We respectfully request that the portion of existing "Urban Expansion" designation over the <br /> portion of the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor be retained and the Proposed Revision No. G-14 be <br /> amended accordingly. This will clearly allow the DLNR Boating Division to pwsue futwe <br /> zoning of this area to allow income producing opportunities to support the Harbor. <br /> We also note that the majority of the existing Honokohau Small Boat Hazbor and the adjacent <br /> State parcel south to the Queen Liliuokalani Trust is within the General Plan LUPAG "Open" <br /> designation. It is ow understanding that the existing harbor and related facilities are permitted <br /> <br />
