it was pointed out that the items are qualified with the term “may include” and is meant to be 75 a guideline not a definitive list. 76 Unanimous approval given 77 Marni Herkes motioned to define Open Space Network as: 78 The Open Space Network (OSN) is a networked system of appropriate access to all 79 significant open space resources that enhances opportunities for residents and visitors for 80 recreational, educational, subsistence, or gathering purposes. The OSN is comprised of 81 "Hubs" including, without limitation, parks, cultural sites open to the public, and natural 82 beauty vantage points and views and "Links" including, without limitation, bikeways, 83 trails, scenic/heritage corridors, public access ways, flow ways, and linear parks. 84 Bo Kahui seconded. Discussion covered the interconnectivity that the OSN would promote 85 with the hubs and links. Unanimous approval given. 86 Further discussions regarding the Open Space Network map is postponed until the next 87 meeting. 88 The sub-committee requested an updated baseline map and access to the shoreline access trail 89 inventory. 90 Janice Palma-Glennie motioned to request that the County provide the Land Use, 91 Environmental & Cultural Resources sub-committee access the Shoreline Trail & Access 92 Inventory. Bo Kahui seconded. Motion Passed (Yea: Bob Ward, Janice-Palma-Glennie, Matt 93 Binder; Nay: Marni Herkes; Abstain: Bo Kahui) 94 2. KCDP Implementation. 95 Matt Binder proposed a motion regarding Impact Fees: 96 The Action Committee of the Kona CDP moves as follows: 97 The Action Committee of the Kona CDP regrets the recent lost opportunity in the County 98 Council to bring the Impact Fee system to the County of Hawaii. Virtually every 99 consultant ever hired by the County has recommended Impact Fees as the preferred 100 mechanism for the financing of new infrastructure. The Kona CDP Financing Plan 101 envisions 32% of all new infrastructure being funded through Impact Fees. Clearly, we 102 cannot achieve the goals of the Kona CDP as envisioned without Impact Fees. 103 The current Fair Share system is only collecting 5% of what an Impact Fee system would 104 collect, and the whole Fair Share concept is on shaky legal ground after a recent ruling by 105 the 3rd Circuit Court. The Action Committee urges all involved to work together to 106 implement Impact Fees as a crucial critical part of our development as a community. 107 Marni Herkes seconded. Motion Passed with a small revision (noted above) (Yea: Marni 108 Herkes, Bob Ward, Matt Binder, Janice Palma-Glennie; Nay: None; Abstain: Bo Kahui) 109 3.
