The Honorable Michael Yee <br /> August 30, 2017 <br /> Page 3 <br /> DHHL regional flans on Hawaii Island <br /> DHHL has eight regional plans on the island of Hawaii. DHHL regional plans identify <br /> issues and opportunities raised by beneficiaries in each region and related priority projects. <br /> Hawai`i Island Regional Plans can be found here: <br /> httz7a/dhhl.hawz�ii.�*ov/�o/rc��ic�nal-Mans/i���waii-rct,Yic�nal- 1«ns/ <br /> The following discussion below is a brief summary of each DHHL Regional Plan on Hawaii <br /> Island in alphabetic order. The summary below identifies issues, opportunities, and priority <br /> projects in which collaboration with the County of Hawaii is crucial to the project's <br /> implementation. <br /> Ka`u regional flan <br /> A priority need of DHHL and its beneficiaries in Ka`u is potable water service to existing <br /> and future planned homestead lots. The County General Plan should direct additional water <br /> resources to DHHL lands in Ka`u. Initial conversations with DWS staff and DHHL have not led <br /> to any conclusive solution to addressing DHHL's water needs in Ka`u. Additionally, as DHHL <br /> moves to implement its South Point Resources Management Plan, DHHL will need to partner <br /> more with County Police to enforce against illegal and unpermitted activities on DHHL lands in <br /> South Point. <br /> Kaumana-Pi`ihonua regional flan <br /> In this region, the DHHL Hawaii Island Plan anticipates the future development of <br /> approximately of 115 residential homesteads and 235 subsistence agriculture homesteads in <br /> Lower Pi`ihonua. The County General Plan LUPAG should reflect these future plans. Two of <br /> the priority projects identified by beneficiaries in this regional plan include the development of a <br /> community center at a to-be-determined location and the establishment of a community pasture <br /> on DHHL lands in Lower Pi`ihonua. Both of these priority projects may require County permits, <br /> services, and/or infrastructure to be successfully implemented. <br /> Kawaihae regional Plan <br /> The County of Hawai`i General Plan should reflect current and future water demands in <br /> the Kawaihae region by directing additional water development to the area. Per the regional <br /> plan, DHHL currently has two residential communities in the region totaling 221 homes. Added <br /> water service is identified as a priority need in the Kawaihae Regional Plan for current as well as <br /> future residential homesteading. There are 2,000 acres designated for future homestead <br /> development. That development is on hold until future water infrastructure is developed. It is <br /> also important to mention that the County of Hawai`i's South Kohala Community Development <br /> Plan (CDP) specifically recommends that the County provide additional water service to the <br />
