<br />RESOLUTION NO.
<br />
<br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CLOSURE OF A PORTION OF KAMOKUNA
<br />STREET, AT W AIAKEA, SOUTH HILO, HAWAII, TO VEHICULAR ACCESS.
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the County of Hawaii owns Kamokuna Street, identified as Tax Map Key
<br />No. (3)2-1-15, a portion of which extends from Laehala Street makai to the coastal area, as
<br />delineated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit" A"; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, a portion of the subject roadway is not improved to county road standards
<br />and has been used as a receptacle area for trash, creating an unsanitary situation; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the landowner of the surrounding properties, Kamehameha Schools Bernice
<br />Pauahi Bishop Estate, has agreed to allow the Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation to utilize the
<br />surrounding properties as a cultural landscape to practice and interpret the Native Hawaiian
<br />culture; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation, as the steward for this region, has
<br />requested that the subject property ofKamokuna Street be closed to vehicular traffic, but
<br />continue to serve as a public pedestrian access to the shoreline and that vehicular traffic be
<br />restricted for emergency purposes only; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation will provide an area for off-street parking
<br />and a vehicle turnaround to relieve traffic safety concerns at the intersection ofKamokuna Street
<br />and Laehala Street; and
<br />
<br />,
<br />WHEREAS, the utilization of this access for pedestrian use only would greatly reduce the
<br />potential for continued dumping of trash and for further degradation of the natural resources of
<br />the area; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, pursuant to section 264-1(d), Hawaii Revised Statutes, all county roads
<br />continue until closed by resolution of the Council.
<br />
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
<br />HAW All that pursuant to section 264-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, that portion of Kamokuna
<br />Street from Laehala Street makai to the shoreline, shall be closed to vehicular traffic, except for
<br />emergency purposes, and be designated primarily for pedestrian access.
