145 Discussion on Hiram’s letter to the Director continued. The role of the AC is summarized in the 3 146 statements in the letter. Additional copies of the letter were handed out to persons attending the meeting. 147 Page one responds to the Directors interpretation in the letter “Request for Legal Opinion” and there are 3 148 statements from the AC. These 3 statements were referred to as “Spot On” by Counsel thereby offering 149 agreement to the intent offered by the AC. 150 Curtis mentioned that the AC and the Planning Department are in a partnership in applying the KCDP, 151 asking Director to confirm that the understanding here is that the KCDP should be utilized as a guide. 152 The Director replied that this understanding is, in the words of Corporation Council, “Spot On”. 153 154 Counsel noted that the purpose of the CDPs is to add another layer of assistance to the Planning Director 155 from members of commissions that live along with their families within the community. These 156 impressions from persons living within the community are to be related to the Planning Director to assist 157 in decision making policies. Counsel agrees that the 3 items within the letter address the concerns that 158 should be followed by the AC. 159 160 The 3 items listed in Hiram’s letter from the CDP to the Director are: 161 1. Providing guidance to the Department if there are questions with whether or not a proposed 162 project, or specific component thereof, is consistent with the applicable sections of the KCDP. 163 2. Providing guidance if there is a disagreement with respect to the applicability of the KCDP 164 between the Department and a developer, and 165 3. Providing guidance with respect to interpretation of any applicable Goal, Objective and/or Policy. 166 167 Director mentioned that the General Plan will work with the all the various CDPs to incorporate the 168 concepts that can be applied island wide. All have different emphasis which may not apply island wide. 169 We need some consistency in all the CDP with some minor differences for each area. 170 171 Doug mentioned the need for a financing plan, otherwise, most of the projects and improvements will be 172 undeveloped. 173 174 Curtis mentioned the presentation of the Implementation of the CDP. We need to develop consistency for 175 the CDPs. Also, regarding letters from Mr. Matsukawa, should the AC request a response from the 176 Director to the letters submitted by Matsukawa? 177 5
