Steering Committee Review of Community Input, September 2016 Review Document 2 of 4 with the rights of the lessee or for other good cause, the board need not reserve such lands as game management areas or public hunting areas. The cost of such rights-of-way and any fencing which may be required shall be borne by the State, lessee or jointly as the board may deem appropriate prior to the leasing of such lands." Rationale: This citation was missing from the draft and needs to be included as the source material for Kokua Action 24 in the Rationale Document. 6. Revise County Action Policy 51: "Identify government roads (including roads -in -limbo, and ^+"^r eld Feed Fights „� .•.�,. (in 'paper roads' and train infrastructure remnants) with public access value for trails. If these that are being obstructed by private parties, a -n4 work to remove the obstructions." Rationale: This minor revision provides clarifying language and adds the train infrastructure language — based on community suggestions to include train remnants as potential trails. However, it is important to note that not all train infrastructure remnants are government owned — some are now private and therefore would not relate to Policy 51. 4.9 Preserving Sacred Place: Waipi'o Valley 7. Throughout Section 4.9 the Waipi'o Valley Stakeholders Alliance and the Traditional Waipi'o Taro Farmers Association will be appropriately identified in the CDP and Community Action Guide. Rationale: The Waipi'o Valley Stakeholders Alliance is a recently formed group and the draft had inadvertently not included the complete name for the Traditional Taro Farmers Association. 8. Revise County Action Policy 54: "Designate Waipi'o Valley, including the Valley rim, as a Wahi Pana and create a resource protection overlay and regulations that will protect Waipi'o Valley's natural resources, preserve its storied past and perpetuate its agricultural traditions and unique rural lifestyle. The Wahi Pana designation should address the following: ■ Create a Natural Resource Overlav Zone: o Prepare viewshed siting guidelines in the County Zoning Code for parcels along the southeast and eastern portions of Waipi'o Valley rim (GP Policy 7.3 (b)); o Extend the SMA boundary beyond Waipi'o Valley on the east and southeast Valley rim to ensure that greater setbacks and viewshed protections are incorporated into the review of structures in those areas; ■ Collaborate with Community Groups: o Collaborate with the Waipi'o Valley community to develop a long range management plan for Waipi'o that addresses public access, carrying capacity, resource management, and potential funding sources for on-going maintenance of streams and roads.
