In response to that'event, the <br />community organized themselves to form a voluhteer fire company. North Kohala Coast <br />Volunteer Fire Company came irito being in early 1995. Since that time, the unit has responded <br />to emergencies along Akoni' Pule Highway from Kawaihae fo Hawi. <br />In July 2007, there were a series of intentionally-set fires all along Akoni Pule Highway. Two of <br />the three vehicles from the volunteer unit were damaged beyond repair. They were left with no <br />tanker to deliver water to fires. <br />In response to this, the Kohala Ranch Community Association (KRCA) initiated a fund drive in <br />the fall of 2007 to raise funds to secure a tanker truck. The Hawaii County Fire Department has <br />identified a new truck for a cost of approximately $159,000 that meets all their specifications. <br />KRCA has raised approximately $143,000 from the community for the purchase of this fire <br />truck. <br />Kohala Ranch Development Corporation has agreed to contribute $16,191.74 to assist in the <br />acquisition of the fire truck, provided it can receive 33 credits against any future fire fair shaze <br />contributions that it may be responsible for. <br />More specifically, KRDC is seeking your concurrence that upon donation of the above amount to <br />the North Kohala Coast Volunteer Fire Company-14A, it will receive 33 single family dwelling <br />credits that can be used against any future fire fair share requirements it may be responsible for. <br />These credits may be used by KRDC to satisfy any existing or future fire fair share requirements <br />within the North Kohala district. Furthermore, should the County adopt an impact fee ordinance; <br />these credits maybe used to satisfy fire impact fee requirements for 33 single family residential <br />ATTAQ-I: Cann. 287 <br />Res. 127-09 <br />052110 <br />
