improvements to the waste management transfer station, which is a high priority item in <br /> the VLRP. <br /> It is likely that we will need the services of a professional planning consultant to finalize <br /> the Volcano Long Range Plan. Money for this is identified in the County budget, but <br /> cannot be appropriated until the draft plan has moved further in the review process. <br /> We are fortunate that Council woman Brenda Ford has long supported the VLRP, and <br /> that council woman-elect, Maile David, is also supportive. .We'll contact other Council <br /> members to inform them and seek their support. Councilman, Greggor Ilagan (Dist #4) <br /> has previously indicated support, for which we are grateful. <br /> Plan: Dan will continue to monitor. <br /> Item 4 <br /> The recently imported structure on Haunani Road and Old Volcano Highway is owned <br /> by Mr.and Mrs. Albert. They obtained a relocation permit and have 180 days to secure <br /> required building permits for permanent installation. There are two issues of concern: <br /> 1) Will this imported structure have a negative impact on the Hale Ohia Lane State <br /> Residential Historic District designation? 2. Will pests that are well established in <br /> lower Puna, where the structure comes from, be imported to Volcano where these pests <br /> are not established? The pests of concern are little fire ants (LFA), termites and coqui <br /> frogs. Pat Conant has spoken to the Alberts and is working with them to evaluate the <br /> possibility of LFA being brought in with their building. . <br /> Discussion: <br /> Is it appropriate to prohibit importing old building materials into Volcano to avoid the <br /> spread of pests? Specifically in this case, does the relocation permit or just the building <br /> permit have to be evaluated by the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) since it <br /> was placed in an established historic district? The County of Hawaii Cultural Resources <br /> Commission makes recommendations to the SHPD. <br /> There is concern that the VLRP is being tagged as a vigilante committee. However our <br /> main concerns are the integrity of the historic values of the community and the worth of <br /> our long term planning effort. <br /> Plan: This matter will be followed and discussed at the next meeting. <br /> Next Meeting: <br /> January 12, 2015 6:30 PM at Vikki Milon's house, 19-4020 Haunani Road <br /> Meeting Adjourned at 8:45 PM <br /> Submitted by Vikki Milon <br />
