DHHL has approximately <br /> 118,000 acres on Hawaii Island. There are approximately 2,500 homestead lessees that reside <br /> in Hawaii County and 14,500 waitlist applicants on DHHL's Hawaii Island homestead waitlist. <br /> The General Plan should take into consideration the needs of these unique populations. During <br /> the August 2016 workshops, DHHL informed the County of DHHL's long-range development <br /> plans that are documented in its 2002 Hawaii Island Plan and 2009 Hawaii Island Update for <br /> West Hawaii. <br /> As a follow-up to those August 2016 County General Plan workshops, DHHL would like <br /> to remind the County of DHHL's existing plans on Hawaii Island via this letter. DHHL <br /> currently utilizes a planning system that consists of 3-tiers. Tier 1 includes the DHHL General <br /> Plan which consists of statewide goals and policies. Tier-2 plans include subject-matter specific <br /> program plans as well as Island Plans specific to each island on which DHHL has land holdings. <br /> Tier-3 plans include regional plans and special area plans that pertain to specific regions and <br /> locations within each island. The comments that follow are based upon the plans in the DHHL <br /> Planning System that have been adopted by the Hawaiian Homes Commission and that pertain <br /> specifically to Hawai`i Island. These plans can also be found on the DHHL website at: <br /> httr)://d 17 hl.li awaii.�,ov/r)o/ <br />
