Draft H -am akua CDP <br />Community SpeakOuts <br />April g, 2o16 / April 23, 2o16 / May 7, 2o16 <br />SpeakOut Comments Recorded on Flip Charts and Post -its <br />Organized by Location and Station <br />Papa`ikou Community Center SpeakOut - April g, 2oi6 <br />`Aina and Coastal <br />■ Littering: We clean up a lot of trash on our road ourselves. <br />Does support for native species mean more funding? Look to support the State Commission (K6kua <br />Action) <br />CDP seems to assume all forestry as just mauka. Would like to see recognition that forestry can and <br />is practiced lowland. Be realistic about various land uses that take care of the `aina. (Depends on <br />jurisdiction. Also, people's aspect want recognition.) <br />"View" or "Viewsheds" seems to be defined as unimpeded ocean views. Would like to see <br />recognition that some practices (i.e. forestry) are also taking care of `aina; also can reduce runoff. <br />Hakalau Point development - Houses & mixed commercial/industrial on site - Proposed County <br />Preserved; want to use CDP as justification. <br />Enforcement - How & who will keep accountability? Example: Viewsheds - Natural pockets but land <br />owners have their own rights (i.e. privacy) <br />Like the layout of the boards - easy to read & follow. Can tell it has been a long, but thorough <br />process. <br />Hunting, fishing & gathering in coastal areas is not just recreation - it is subsistence. <br />Any type of development in mauka areas should be restricted. (Relates to CDP mention of <br />cultural/religious practices.) <br />Waste diversion and reduction <br />Climate change considerations included in CDP? Some actions point to need for research - look to <br />partner with UH. Erosion near the singing bridge is a concern - tied to the mowing along roadway. <br />Communication - How can Hamakua communicate better? Inter -district or intra -district? (i.e. To the <br />rest of the island/state vs. within Hamakua. Start with Hamakua and move towards island/state.) <br />How to facilitate new economy (post -plantation)? <br />Littering prevention efforts - Friends of the park, community service groups, work with Dept. of <br />Environmental Management <br />Waipi`o Valley <br />■ Road to the valley should not be improved to the point of unrestricted access; should be open to <br />residents and open for special tours (i.e. educational, school, etc.) <br />Waipi'o "Rim Lookout" - good idea (mud lane access point) <br />Info on any sale of valley lands should be timely, clear and accurate. <br />
