say, "okay, excellent," and the County might have something that conflicts with that, so. I'm <br /> assuming the answer is not simple, but I'll turn it over to DLNR and Planning here. <br /> HEIT: Gordon Heit, DLNR Land Division. I think it's always been the intent that the State <br /> agency would work collaboratively with the County on any type of developments. We did the <br /> studies back in, I believe 2014, I came up with the sea level rise, the economic future, potential <br /> future of the area. So, going forward with that, we would need to work with you folks on any <br /> type of plan, design, and development. <br /> GADDIS: Any other questions before <br /> TANIGUCHI: I have a question. Barry Taniguchi. Pardon my ignorance, but where else in East <br /> Hawaii are you going to allow some kind of, not necessarily resort development but hotel <br /> development? I can foresee where Hilo will grow, we're gonna need hotels of a lesser quality <br /> like Courtyards for business travelers and things like that, but I don't know where we do we <br /> have any land? <br /> MORRISON: I would have to look at the overall picture. I know there's still some out <br /> Keaukaha, a little bit farther, and then all of Downtown Hilo is a high density urban which would <br /> allow for those type of uses. Again you'd have to, you might have to change the zoning to do <br /> those things, but at least the future land use designation would allow for those type of uses. So I <br /> think that we do have other areas. The other thing that we're seeing in this plan is that large <br /> resort kind of areas are not really what is driving visitor accommodations. It's more of the <br /> retreat, lodge, or bed and breakfasts that are accommodating folks traveling. And so there's a lot <br /> in the plan about where those smaller scale type of facilities should be located, and I think we <br /> could look at Hilo but also understand that the other areas around Hilo also accommodate <br /> visitors too. <br /> TANIGUCHI: Right. <br /> MORRISON: Right? But I think that, that's a valid question. <br /> GADDIS: Thank you so much for the presentation. We really appreciate it. <br /> MORRISON: Thank you, Nathan. <br /> 2.
