2 PRESENTATION 1)Role of SKCDP AC and WCA’s Design and Review Committee Regarding Land Use Issues Margaret Wille believed the role of the AC was to get information out; therefore the website should be used. Subdivisions are stressed in the CDP. The AC should provide additional ways for the public to participate. She suggested that the additional duties of the AC on page 148 of the CDP should appear in the Operating Guidelines. The power of the AC is important to her. She also mentioned two issues in connection with the Acree development at Kawaihae: the shoreline trail and the turn off from the highway. The Design and Review Committee consults a checklist and the CDP prior to giving comments. How is a project consistent with these, and if inconsistent, why? She said the Committee doesn’t cover subdivisions. She submitted materials to the AC including a recent Supreme Court decision. AC Member Robin Inaba, an architect, said the plan review process (which the Design and Review Committee participates in) is part of the building permit process. Plan review is done by the Planning Department and includes landscaping, drainage, parking, etc. She said the Planning Department has a checklist of requirements. When a project is in plan review, it has already been approved to exist. The Planning Department may set conditions. Allen Salavea noted that subdivision precedes plan review. Bill Sanborn observed that the historic role of the Waimea Community Association was to be able to at least review projects. Presently the Design and Review Committee appears to be the only connection available. The Association would like to make community input available.

The applicant list now goes to the Planning Director, then to the Mayor, then for confirmation to the County Council. The process can take two to three months. 3) Land Use Permit Activity Report
