Box 2709, ICatnuela, Hl 96743 <br /> Tel: 885-4194 E-mail: bobawebpatent.com <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed two ordinances would add a concurrency requirement to the Hawaii <br /> County Code in a fairly straightforward way. Adoption would increase the <br /> <br /> likelihood that an acceptable level of service will be maintained in two of the <br /> county's critical infrastructure systems as we grow. The conceptual framework is to <br /> control concurrency at the time of subdivision (and condo regime creation) but to <br /> <br /> get a commitment to do so at the time of zone change. Only water (in existing <br /> service areas) and transportation facilities are addressed, to keep it simple. In <br /> <br /> essence, adequate infrastructure capacity has to be either in existence at the time of <br /> subdivision or a funded capital improvements program has to be in place to provide <br /> <br /> the capacity within a reasonable time. The County's Six Year CIP would be <br /> converted from its current status as an unconstrained "wish list" document to a <br /> 6°commitment to fund priority projects" document. If adopted, the ordinances could <br /> <br /> have the effect of focusing (prioritizing) infrastructure capacity improvement in <br /> areas that will need it as then-approved subdivisions are built out. <br /> <br /> <br /> I am happy to see the council considering implementation of a concurrency management <br /> system for Hawaii County. The proposed two ordinances before you are modeled on a <br /> Washington state law that requires that cities and counties in that state to set up <br /> <br /> concurreney management systems that link approval of each new development project to <br /> plans for funding transportation capital improvements needed to accommodate the <br /> development. <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed two ordinances would add a concurrency requirement to the Hawaii <br /> <br /> County Code in a fairly straightforward way. The ordinances do not in any way interfere <br /> with the system of negotiated exactions from developers that is currently in use by the q R C <br /> <br /> Gomm. No. ` s/ •v+ <br /> Ref.
