Discussions surrounded issues from the background report such as the population growth analysis, infrastructure timing and prioritization, product type differential because of types of impacts, and funding mechanisms. It was pointed out that the background report indicates and an idea of how the infrastructure would be phased and may create a lot of discussion (potential confusion or controversy) among various land owners and developers. One idea to potentially resolve the input that we might get that would not be favorable would be to prepare 2 or 3 scenarios and then show how each one of those scenarios works. Ken Melrose asked the Action Committee members if they concurred to have Dave Freudenberger and Roy Takemoto come up with a couple of scenarios that the Action Committee can begin to use in the public outreach process. There was unanimous approval for that suggestion. Burke Matsuyama discussed about his issue with the Hulikoa intersection and that the problem is the design was based on a 1996 EA. It’s too old and archaic. It doesn’t take into account the CDP. All the changes that have happened since 1996 but because of Federal funds, the State is mandated to do reviews. If they were to follow the procedures within the rules and regs of an EA, they have to do reviews. The CDP triggers that requirement. Ken Melrose then asked Bob Ward if the Transportation sub-committee could look at the Hulikoa intersection and the branch road opportunity. 3. Sub-Committee Reports The Outreach sub-committee has issued a new white paper which is accessible off of the website. Bob Ward moved to have the Design Center look at that Zoning Change application on TMK-7- 7-008-099 for compliance with the KCDP and Marni Herkes seconded. Ken Melrose asked if any other discussion? None. All in favor? Motion carried unanimously. To illustrate that there is further movement within the Planning Department regarding the Design Center it was pointed out that a memo regarding the Design Center from the Deputy Planning Director has been issued to the department. A copy of the memo will be given to the Action Committee members. The State recently had community meetings regarding the unconstrained STIP, meaning there’s four times as many projects as there are monies to fund. There is a form that reflects both the State and County projects that are in the STIP and the State has asked that the list be prioritized high, medium or low. Bob Ward will get it scanned and send it to Deanne Bugado and then she can distribute it to the Action Committee members. The list could be distributed to whomever the Action Committee members would like to. The deadline for submission for comments was th June 7. Bob Ward requested that the Action Committee send a letter to the county that encourages the movement on the site selection of South Kona District Park and the development of the other district and regional parks that the community needs. Bob Ward prepared a draft letter for consideration. Action Committee discussed the letter and the format. Marni Herkes moved and Bob Ward seconded. Ken Melrose asked if all in favor? Unanimous. The Regional Long Range Land Transportation Plan public meetings should begin in July and August. tm; E
