Steering Committee Review of Community Input, September 2016 Review Document 3 of 4 Councilmember Valerie Poindexter and lead by Complete Street consultants. This tour of downtown Honoka'a identified various safety issues and improvements as noted in the policy above. 5.3 Improve the Roadway Network 12. Revise Community Action 27: "Work with the owners of private roads and local community groups/associations to determine road management agreements that mitigate road closures and access disagreements for public access and/or resident use. The following private roads have been identified as needing improvements in their road management/access strategies: ■ Mill Road in Papa'ikou ■ Beach Road to Honoka'a Landing ■ Rlair Rnnd" Rationale: This addition has been identified by community members as a road asset desirable for public use and access. 5.7 Improve Water and Wastewater Infrastructure 13. New County Action Policy: "Develop an infrastructure prioritization designation such as Infrastructure Priority Area (IPA) within the Hamakua CDP and designate Honomu, Laupahoehoe, Pa'auilo, and sections of Honoka'a as priority areas in need of wastewater service." Infrastructure prioritization desienations should be based on the followine criteria: ■ The area contains a mix of residential and commercial zoni ■ The area lacks a core infrastructure component (municipal or community water, wastewater, or roadways); ■ Redevelopment options (including the renovation of historic structures) and/or projected commercial and residential growth (including affordable, multi -family housine) is hindered by the lack of core infrastructure: ■ Highest priority should be given to areas that contain existing built -out parcels facing regulatory constraints relating to parcel size, areas with historic buildings and structures in need of renovation, and areas where affordable housing is lacking and development is impeded by the lack of necessary infrastructure. Rationale: This policy is in response to research and community comments on redevelopment impediments due to the lack of wastewater service availability and an inability for owners of some properties to comply with Dept. of Health regulations for individual wastewater systems on small, built -out parcels. The gaps in wastewater infrastructure are also identified as an affordable housing issue due to the fact that private wastewater systems for multi -family housing units can be cost prohibitive, and developing single-family housing units on lots large enough to support individual wastewater systems (lots must be a minimum of 10,000 square feet) can adversely affect affordability.
