Review and Discuss Plan_3 CHR. SIRACUSA : Now we move on to Plan_3 and take a look at that. Zoom in please. Okay, this one has the same problem as far as Volcano goes. LetÓs see what else. MS. POINDEXTER: Can we go into the Waimea area, the end of District 1, getting into District 9. I just want to see what road it goes to. MR. MELROSE: I also saw that on the Puna side, it takes the Hilo District, the Keaukaha/ Panaewa area and picks up a piece of Hawaiian Paradise Park. It is not clear to me in the back side of Waiakea; IÓm thinking the back corner of Waiakea has a discontinuity here that would keep you from being able to drive within the district without dr think that would get us into trouble from a continuity perspective. CHR. SIRACUSA : And then Hawaiian Paradise Park being split; that is a problem also. Also, Paradise Park and MakuÒu Hawaiian Homelands both go above Highway 130. They go mauka of Highway 130 a little bit and they are divided off here in this map. MR. KANUHA : Can you go back to the Kona side? I think this might be the current map we have now; it may be what we have currently. When you look at Nani Kailua, Hoene Street; the south side of Hoene Street, one side of that subdivision is in a different district. ThatÓs what I had a problem with what it is currently. It splits up that one side of the community of homes. MR. MIDDLESWORTH : There are going to be a lot of problems like that because of the census blocks are drawn. You get one side of the street, and then when you try to get the other side of the street, you get 400 people; because the block CHR. SIRACUSA: But we still have to eliminate as much of that as possible. MR. MELROSE: I donÓt think there is anything particularly unique about this one that would say we should hold on to it as an alternative; and there are some technical issues such as dis- continuity in the Waiakea District, the crossing over of the Hil Paradise Park, and a kind of deep encroachment of the Waimea community that would suggest to me that we simply put this one on the side and move on. CHR. SIRACUSA: Do you want to just put it on the side as opposed to eliminating it? MR. MELROSE: No, I would eliminate it. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: I liked this one better than Plan_2 for the very same kind of reasons. You donÓt want to split up Hawaiian Paradise Park; I donÓt want to split up Hawaiian Homes. MR. CARVALHO: Going back to that these are the maps from the Elections Divi to disparage them, but it seems like they were just getting the numbers right. They look really like just samples, except for Plan_17. Plan_17 is very bold, but if you look at these other map 21
