It is also noted that the Hale Ohia Lane State Historic Residential District consists of two <br /> sections, separated by the Highway #11 bypass, and that some properties along the <br /> street are excluded. The larger proposed historic district includes the Hale Ohia Lane <br /> zone. <br /> Plan: Dan will forward the proposal to Boone to with a view toward consolidating design <br /> guidelines, followed by review from the VLRP Planning Team.. <br /> Plan: Dan will report at our next meeting. <br /> Item 2 <br /> Tim Tunison reports that a proposed forest canopy Overlay District zone applies to all of <br /> the Volcano community, not just the Historic District. Its main purpose is to protect the <br /> forest canopy. Being a far-reaching proposal that will affect many members of the <br /> community, we anticipate an open and well planned program aimed at educating <br /> people about living in and building in the forest. Such an overlay zone would be the first <br /> one in the County. The State Charter, County General Plan and PCDP all have <br /> provisions for establishing such a zone. It will require an ordinance. The International <br /> Biosphere Reserve model of the United Nations will provide a useful reference.. <br /> Possible subjects to enable implementation include: <br /> 1. Supporting the PCDP Action Committee in their recommendation for an ordinance <br /> that would strengthen grubbing and grading rules <br /> 2. Increasing fines to owners and machine operators to be an incentive against <br /> violating current regulations <br /> 3. Possibly prohibit grading and grubbing in set backs of the Volcano Overlay District <br /> 4. Limitations or review of cutting native trees and vegetation <br /> 5. Tax code changes since current tax breaks only apply to Ag zoning <br /> Discussion: <br /> Pat Conant reviewed the past work done by the Natural Resources Working Group of <br /> the PCDP 2006 which could be used as a guide. He recommends that Kim Dillman be <br /> a contact source. Nancy Crawford, Finance Director County, could also be informative. <br /> Plan: Follow up at next meeting. <br /> Item 3 <br /> Dan Taylor said the Long Range Plan is being reviewed by the County Planning <br /> Department. They are pleased by the scope of the document, but see some technical <br /> flaws. As written it would not yet qualify for County Ordinance. Nevertheless, certain <br /> elements of the draft VLRP are providing useful guidance to County planners, for <br /> example an awareness that commercial development fronting on the Highway #11 <br /> corridor is not considered desirable. In addition, we see support at County Council for <br />
