HAKALAU POINT (TMKs 329002081/329002079) <br /> The GP 2045 Final Recommended Draft proposes the majority of the parcels' area as <br /> LOW DENSITY URBAN with the pali as CONSERVATION and a strip along the top of <br /> pali as RECREATION while the HCDP LUPAG indicates both parcels as OPEN. While <br /> the current county zoning is MG-5a, Industrial and State Land Use District (SLUD) is <br /> Urban, the HCDP recognized that both the county zoning and SLUD are a historical <br /> "snap shot" of its past plantation heritage which are respectively inappropriate and <br /> arguably obsolete. The HCDP deliberately chose to acknowledge this location's unique <br /> historic/cultural (Kanaka maoli site where a significant battle took place and its <br /> Hakalau Plantation history),environmental (high bluff pali, coastal zone at estuary), <br /> recreational (fishing trail access), and scenic (one of the few accessible scenic <br /> viewpoints to enjoy panoramic views of the Hamakua coastline, adjacent to rare <br /> accessible beach park) values by designating it as OPEN. The HCDP intention was to <br /> encourage future preservation and protection of this extremely unique locale for the <br /> enjoyment of the greater community instead of the prevalent trend of development of <br /> private luxury homes along our coastlines. <br /> The General Plan and Community Development Plans are intended as dynamic <br /> forward-looking, living and adaptive tools to guide the the development of <br /> communities' future. They should be consistent in reflect our community's collective <br /> voice, values and aspirational vision. <br /> Mahalo nui loa for your time and consideration! <br /> Aloha no, <br /> Brad Kurokawa <br />
