Pohai Bay – there are culturally significant sites and graves in the area identified by the <br /> <br /> <br />lineal descendants and they have requested to keep the area as a cultural preserve. P & R <br /> <br />have been proactive to this request and there are cultural sensitive signs being placed at <br /> <br /> <br />several points of the area. <br /> <br />The park should be a more passive park and many of the activities identified should be <br />  <br />expanded and located at the regional park in Kealakehe. <br />  <br />Shoreline from the Old Airport down to Keauhou need to be protected. <br />  <br />The existing runway needs to be dug up to see if the former ponds could be re- <br />  <br />established, bike paths could be created and back-end parking stalls installed. <br />  <br />Move the canoe hales and the county and state base yards and maintenance areas. <br /> <br />The skate park needs to be established. Permits are needed but they’ve been fundraising. <br /> <br /> <br />They are part of the national association and part of the elite Big Island Association <br /> <br />There is an open area near the hockey rink that is an area that could be an entertainment <br /> <br /> <br />or special events area. An area that could be utilized for fundraising activities. <br /> <br />Queen Liliuokalani Trust (QLT) is still in the planning process – when they are ready to <br /> <br />develop then the plan will come in for approval with the county. <br /> <br />The park’s proposed name would be Makaeo. <br /> <br />Marni Herkes mentioned that the website KailuaParkPlan.com and that there is a virtual reality <br /> <br />link that walks you through the park’ proposed features. <br /> <br />Issue brought up that there is a concept from the KCDP which calls for the creation of a transit <br /> <br />hub in Kailua and as one of the largest County owned lands that this could be a the location of <br /> <br /> <br />one. This park is intended to be a passive park and as such may not be an appropriate location <br /> <br />for a major transit hub, however, initial discussions with QLT indicate a possible location for <br /> <br /> <br />the transit hub on their lands. <br /> <br />Ken Melrose asked that given the County's EA is not yet ready, a motion in support of the plan <br /> <br />be deferred it until it’s published. Bob Ward moved to defer it. Janice Palma-Glennie seconded. <br /> <br />Ken Melrose asked if any other comment on the motion to defer. There was none. Ken Melrose <br /> <br />then asked if all in favor? Unanimous. Opposed? None. <br /> <br />2. Financial Plan <br /> <br />There was an initial Financial Plan presentation at the last meeting. In the intervening period, <br /> <br />Ken Melrose made a print of the draft background information report developed by PBR and <br /> <br /> <br />distributed (Kona CDP Public Facilities Financing Plan booklet) to each of the KCDP Action <br /> <br />Committee members and the Mayor’s cabinet. <br /> <br /> <br />Ken Melrose and Dave Freudenberger opened up discussion on the background report that was <br /> <br />passed out. <br /> <br />Dave Freudenberger wanted to be clear that the report Ken Melrose is referring to is the <br /> <br />background report that Roy Takemoto (PBR) has drafted and is in draft form. Dave <br /> <br />Freudenberger will be drafting the financing plan. <br /> <br />tm; šE <br /> <br />
