Communication 927 Resolution No. 381-06 Page 4 of 4 problems first. He concluded that the resolution will not stop construction, as it will look at rezonings that will occur 15 years down the line. Dr. Holschuh stated that we have to listen to the people of Kona, but his understanding is that the people involved with Hiluhilu and Palamanui are trying to work these very problems out with the community and doesn't want to see discussions with Hiluhilu and the University stopped. Council Vice Chair Isbell moved to amend Draft 1 with Draft 2 and stated that her concern when she first heard of the resolution was that it stated we couldn't do anything. However, although Draft 2 did address some of her concerns with respect to workforce housing, she was not sure why it included reference to the Waikoloa Employee Housing project. She also noted that draft 2 did not have adrop-dead clause, however, because this was a resolution and very flexible, and also because the Hiluhihlu is ahead of this resolution before the council, it does not stop us from doing anything. Ms. Isbell stated she will support the resolution and appreciates the ability to be flexible. Committee Vice Chair Hoffmann stated that reference to the Waikoloa Employee Housing Project should be deleted from the resolution and noted he didn't think that would garner any legal challenges. There were no objections to a friendly amendment to make this change. Council Member Bob Jacobson suggested that the resolution also exempt public projects such as schools, water and sewer projects and all other projects that benefit public health, safety and welfare. Mr. Arakaki inquired of Corporation Council Ashida whether the county has jurisdiction in Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) projects and the State HCDCH programs. Mr. Ashida stated he believed the county has a Memorandum of Agreement with DHHL and would have to check into the HCDHC matter. Corporation Council Lincoln Ashida stated for the record he does not speak for deparGnent heads and wanted to clarify that Planning Director Chris Yuen submitted his position on Resolution 381-06 before hearing the public's testimony. Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 381-06, as amended to Draft 3, and recommends its adoption. and AYES NOES A&E Ex Respectfully submitted, ARAKAI4 X IHGA X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING HOFFMANN X HOLSCHUH X ~ IKEDA X ISBELL X JACOBSON X K.
