me, compact mixed use type of development and growth that has many different types of multimodal transportation opportunities in that area and is also walkable between residences and work, workplaces and commercial uses. So, roadway connectivity in—and part of this has actually been addressed with the mass transit master plan that is now in place through the Mass Transit authority for the county—it speaks largely of roadway connectivity, and we'll talk about some of that in just a minute, including landscaping in the right-of-way. This is one that we in Planning have been trying to work on for quite a while, and we'll continue to strive for, to get more landscaping in the right-of-way, particularly, landscaping and, which could even be dry-scape that's appropriate for a particular region. So a lot of people think that right-of-way landscape is always plants and has to be lush and has to be irrigated, and that's not always the best solution to right-of-way landscaping; so there are many different types of landscape that can happen that may not require irrigation and things of that nature but does provide a much nicer environment for the residents and pedestrians in those areas. There is a commitment to finish Ane K. Highway,particularly, well, it calls for connection from Kamini to, Ka`iminani, excuse me, to Hina Lani, but—and much of that is already completed [sic]but it does also call for the connection further out to Palamanui. And then a frontage road makai of Queen K. between the airport and Kuakini. From a land use perspective, it calls for a redevelopment plan of Kailua Village that has previously been addressed by the Action Committee. We still do not have a redevelopment plan for Kailua Village but is certainly in our sights to look forward to. Enhancing shoreline setbacks that's another project that you'll hear about in just a minute that the County is working on. Urban growth management and trying to focus infill in those TODs and TND areas the pink being the TODs, transit-oriented developments, and TNDs being transit neighborhood developments in the blue. To look more at clustered rural PUDs in a way to compact the development and preserve open space where can. Looking for a variety of housing and affordable housing opportunities. And then a commitment to the open space network, which you will also hear about in just a moment. And then from water and wastewater, we have a lot of needs in West Hawaii, and we'll talk about that, too, that the State is actually helping us do some study work related to water and wastewater. But, looking at the Kona Mauka Watershed Management Area, prioritizing water and sewer in TOD areas, looking at—and I know DEM is continuing to have this conversation of how to either expand wastewater or provide a new wastewater north of Hina Lani. Looking at better and improved urban stormwater management. Certainly, we know that the Kona area gets, when they, when you do get rain, sometimes you get a lot of rain, and it floods, you get flooding significantly, and that's something that we need to make improvements on. And then likeoh, I guess I duplicated Kona watershed management. So the Action Committee has focused on, and they've done some work already on, the Kona open space plan. Lako Street connector is another priority that they have. The last phase of Ane K. between Hina Lani and Palamanui. The Kailua Village redevelopment plan. And then looking for opportunities for affordable housing. We have had a subcommittee that has now finished its work and gave a report related to Alii Parkway where they had done some additional outreach to lineal descendants. And also, we are looking at alternative uses maybe of that right-of-way that's not necessarily a full parkway but could be a trail, a walkway, or just a transit 5 EXHIBIT B
