. POP: gatri v. blane Page I1 of 11 6. See Molokai Homesteaders Cow Assn v Cobb, 63 Haw. 453, 629 P.2d 1134 (1981), noting that: The provisions of HRS Chapter 344 comprise a policy statement reflecting the concerns and goals of the State of Hawaii in the azea of enviromental protection in general terms.... The general lack of specificity in the statement suggests it is primarily a declaration of concerns and goals that does not carry a mandate for the adoption of guidelines before ad hoc decisions aze rendered by agencies. The chapter is a broad policy document in tenor and actual wording in spite of [certain specific provisions]. While these provisions call for the adoption of guidelines by state agencies, they are devoid of a necessary specificity in direction that would allow the meaningful development of guidelines by the Boazd [T]he provisions of Chapter 344 are only hortatory. 7. HRS § 205A-26(2)(C) allows concurrent processing of an application where a general plan amendment may be required. GATRI did not request concurrent processing of its application. Therefore it was not erroneous for the Director to refuse to process GATRl's application. http://www.hawaii.gov/jud/20385.htm 12/22/2006
