SECTION 3 3.1 PLANNING PROCESS The planning process for the HPP Community Master Plan by the CAC is inclusive and from the ground up with continuous solicitation of volunteers. This kind of open, community-based planning process should facilitate the approval of this CDP, inclusion into the County General Plan, and implementation by all parties involved. Thus, the planning process has included: Initial meeting held February 2014 with the distribution of previous HPP Community Master Plans and a brief history of the Hawai'i Planning Department and HPP. Meetings with appropriate county parties to include a County of Hawai'i Planning Department Planner and Puna Districts 4 and 5 Councilmen to discuss plan development. Goals of Community Development Plan established: to update the future vision within the community; research resources and means to accomplish the task; and to act as the coordinating group with the establishment of implementation teams. Appendices are to be used with the Plan to note special surveys and reports that affect the Plan. Review of resources to use in the preparation of our CDP to align with the PCDP. Review of other Hawai'i island CDPs and search for prior specialized plans such as Path, Park, and Albizia that would impact the plan. Research the possibility of monies from grants, bonds, state, federal, county sources so that HPP can move forward Creation of various tools such as 1) a business directory derived from a business survey to establish what is available presently, 2) an owner's survey to solicit input from the community to ensure the community determines needs and desires rather than a committee, 3)power point presentations for HPP membership meetings in June, 2014 and February 2015 to present the plan and to update it, and 4) creation of digital maps (wells, developed lots, mail boxes, bus line, roads paved and unpaved, town center areas, etc.) 11
