assuring safe access during an evacuation. Without an additional road, Waikoloa Village will become the next Lahaina. <br /> General Plan: Chapter 6. Implementation and Monitoring <br /> The County Charter stipulates that Capital Improvements shall be prioritized based on criteria aligned with the <br /> General Plan and Community Development Plans. Providing clear direction on where various community Capital <br /> Improvement priorities are needed creates a reference to be easily incorporated into the County budget process and <br /> Functional Plans for government agencies. The CIP is a 6-year schedule of improvements that sets forth the greatest <br /> infrastructure needs of the County, anticipated funding, and timing of the projects. However, in practice, the County is <br /> only able to fund about 30 percent of the projects that are appropriated into the CIP budget. Potential funding sources <br /> for highway projects include general obligation bonds, general revenues, State and federal transportation programs, <br /> special funds, land-secured financing, State revolving fund, block grants, and other reliable sources. <br /> Community Response: <br /> The 2045 General Plan relies on further implementation actions, such as zoning and budget ordinances, to move <br /> Hawai'I Island in the direction of stated goals. Priority projects need to be added to HDOT's Regional Long-range <br /> Surface Transportation Plan (LRTP) to be eligible for federal and State highway funding. Projects established in the <br /> General Plan as a priority for the protection of community health and safety should be added to the LRTP to ensure <br /> their eligibility for State and federal transportation funding. <br /> The County should adopt a policy requiring that approval of new developments should be contingent upon the <br /> obligation of developers to contribute their prorata share towards infrastructure, especially with regards to access <br /> roads and wastewater treatment to ensure the safety of the community. <br /> The results of this submission may be viewed at: <br /> https://cohplanning.konveio.com/node/12/submission/62 <br /> 2 <br />
