143 Duane commented that this would be working with the community groups. · 144 Marnie said if you want to avoid trouble, then you need to tell the community that you are not · 145 changing the CDP, rather you are working on implementing the plan. Important that you 146 introduce this as a further step of the plan and not as a change. Marnie recommends that planning 147 should get an outside professional involved. 148 Karen noted that County Council will be reviewing any changes as well. · 149 Hiram said that we should not only look as what has worked and has not worked, but we should · 150 be looking as to what can work. 151 Keola offered areas that staff is working on three areas: · 152 1.All existing zoning outside of a transit-oriented development (TOD), but within the Kona 153 Urban area, must comply with parks policy, affordable housing policy, street standard, 154 wastewater, concurrency and sensitive resources. Is this what was intended? Staff is 155 looking for comments on these items. Wording has a conflict in the document. 156 2.Clustered Rural Subdivision guideline process is stated in the CDP that these guidelines 157 are encouraged, but a judge ruled that these guidelines are required. 158 3.Open Space Standards and greenbelts are called for in the CDP yet there are no 159 guidelines for staff to enforce. We need standards in width, shape and density of the 160 greenbelts. How do we apply standards for a greenbelt without standards. What does the 161 community have in mind? We need this discussion with the public so that the decision 162 on greenbelts in not made by staff alone. We need clarification. 163 Ken Melrose requested that planning provide one or more of the three things he feels is necessary · 164 for the Action Committee to respond and to provide by the next meeting: 165 1.Planning Department provide to the Action Committee (AC): 166 a. Concise articulation of the process and timeline to be followed. 167 b. A precise definition, by Policy number reference, of the areas of Chapter 4 considered 168 problems, together with proposed text of changes perceived as necessary and the 169 rationale therefore. 170 c. A statement of desired outcomes for the review and follow on steps committed for 171 implementation of the Kona CDP. 172 This will help the lay person understand the technical approach to the review. 173 Ken also mentioned that no help on open space network plan was offered by the county staff. · 174 Action Committee could not accomplish this task without technical assistance. We need to do the 175 simple things but not open all elements; rather address what needs to be addressed. 5
