<br /> Communication 680 <br /> <br /> Bi11221 <br /> <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> towards road construction. <br /> Committee Vice Chair Yagong said he did come prepared to vote against this proposal, however, <br /> his approval is based out of respect to Council Member Naeole. Mr. Yagong said he frequents <br /> the area, knows the traffic problems and has no doubt in his mind that highway 130 is an <br /> extremely important roadway that needs to be planned properly. Mr. Yagong said he will vote in <br /> favor of this application but would look into the matter further to make a more informed decision. <br /> Council Member Naeole explained that Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is located in back <br /> of applicant's property and the proposed fire and police station. She said she plans to meet with <br /> DHHI, representatives to see if she can work something out that would provide more services to <br /> the Pahoa community. In comparison Ms. Naeole stated, when you look at Kona there's too <br /> much development, but in Pahoa, they really have no services and that's what she's looking to <br /> bring into the community. Ms. Naeole presented to the Committee a petition signed by members <br /> of her community expressing support of this application. <br /> Council Member Jacobson noted his interest in what Council Member Naeole is able to work out <br /> with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 221, as amended <br /> to Draft 2, and recommends it pass first reading. <br /> and <br /> AYE5 NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> FORD X <br /> HIGA X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> JACOBSON X <br /> NAEOLE X K.
