Draft H -am akua CDP <br />Community SpeakOuts <br />April g, 2o16 / April 23, 2o16 / May 7, 2o16 <br />Need a mulcher for ag waste <br />More assistance with invasive species, too few staff <br />Gastro tourism <br />Isolation due to flooding <br />Central and spaced out food storage for disasters; community food storage <br />Provide a playground in the Laupahoehoe area (across from Post Office) for the local Keiki <br />Why don't we have highway rest stops, picnic areas? <br />Vandalism, tourists - need control <br />Highways should be required to have rest stops <br />Health care & transportation for elderly. <br />County property in limbo - need assistance in making it available for local business use - next mayor <br />Example of Hakalau Farmers Market - true community food sustainability <br />Isolation/Sinkhole/Disaster/Communications - relying on rumor to know what county plans for <br />roads - information meeting to make info available; radio announcements and cell coverage very <br />spotty; when is relief coming? <br />Not every road is appropriate for visitor traffic <br />Inter -island ferry - Support local business <br />Don't think Hamakua is appropriate for heavy industrial uses. <br />Industrial uses should be evaluated on a case by case basis & with local community <br />approval/support. <br />GP states heavy industry should not be placed next to residential - should be considered when <br />evaluating industrial areas. <br />'Aina Manna Legacy Land - (Look it up) DHHL unfunded plan <br />Ditto first comment above. (Re: Hamakua not appropriate for heavy industrial uses.) <br />Papa'ikou Point should stay Ag as proposed on LUPAG maps. <br />No erosion control measures at Ninole Development - Residential too close to shoreline, houses will <br />fall into ocean. <br />Repeat current and proposed for LUPAG and put on North/South/East/West. <br />Industrial changes along coast make sense to remove. <br />Historic bridges not useful if can't be seen - only costs taxpayers more money to maintain or rebuild. <br />Everybody says protect ag but system isn't working - works for bigger parcels but not for smaller - In <br />order to have successful ag, you need ag knowledge & input from farmers - Need large acreages <br />available (like 500 acres) leased at reasonable rates. <br />State controls huge amount of land. <br />Example of O'6kala Coastal Area State Owned. <br />County also tying up hundreds of acres of ag land. <br />Everybody against growing the trees but it was the largest investment since sugar & it provided jobs. <br />
