intended purpose of the subcommittee. Richard cited the CDP as calling for protection of pristine coastal lands as vital to protecting the quality of life in Kohala. Bob asked what is the trigger for public hearings, since the application is for only a few more lots; there already is a lodge and golf course. Rosalind mentioned that its more of the role of the AC to implement the CDP rather than to review land use applications. Collin mentioned that he heard the Planning Director say that the job of the AC is to look at the CDP and make any changes, but not to make decisions for the community. Collin questioned why the AC is not regularly notified of resubmittals, or new applications for old projects. Bob asked does the AC have review authority or not. This is a large landowner who has been working on this project for over 20 years. The landowner can be a big help to the community and our issue is to figure out how to partner with them. Marlene asked if the project is already approved. Rosalind replied they are going back for another revision of their subdivision map. Marlene observed it seems like we're the last to find out, and we have no way of saying anything about it. May 4 meeting.
