core to the extent it exists. I can testify that the "sustainable patterns" extend at least as far as Parcel 055 based on usages on Kihalani Homestead Road (see the next comment); and have been observed under the 2005 urban designations. So there must be some other motivation to eliminate LDU and at the same time create the corresponding number of IAL designations that have never been applied in the Kihalani Homestead before. 'I'he LDP cites Factors 3 and 4 to SUDDort " I'akmQ parcel 055 out oI LUP": Factor 3: Alun with State Land Use District Boundary. The third factor in developing L UPAG recommendations is BASER ON THE C",OMMUNITY'S OBJECTIVE #5, which states: "Direct future settlement patterns that erre sustainable and connected. Honor Hainakua's historic and cultural assets by concentrating new development in existing, walkable, infixed -use town centers while limiting rural sprawl." Factor 4: Alun with County zoning [land use]. The fourth factor in developing L UPAG recommendations is BASER ON THE COMMUNITY'S UNITY'S O JEC",TIVE #5, which states: "Dorset future settlement patterns that erre sustainable and connected. Honor Hr tndkua's historic and cultural assets by concentrating new development in existing, walkable, infixed -use town craters while linliti g rural sprawl." *COMMENT: If you visit Kihalani Homestead Road (depending on weather) you will see people walking, pushing strollers, running, biking and doing other "walkable" and other sustainable and connected activities on the road far above Parcel 055 (Parcel 055 is only 4/10 of a mile from the Laupahoehoe "town center". And the road connects with our commercial district and high school. *COMMENT: As for "rural sprawl" in Kihalani Homestead, in my 12 years in Laupahoehoe I have never heard the word "sprawl" or anything like it applied to Laupahoehoe. If the Laupahoehoe community is not concerned with "sprawl", who is? If sprawl exists in Laupahoehoe it is in a form that has been part of the homestead for decades as far as to the top of Kihalani Homestead Road which people here just call "home". Any "sprawl" in Laupahoehoe, be it peoples' homes or their gardens, has also been present for decades; so it is a little late to be "limiting" it. *COMMENT: What "parcel specific" considerations were used? What "parcel specific" data was used? If the "parcel specific" considerations were based on aerial photography kindly consider that Google Earth only updates images every two or three years. All the LDU parcels on Kihalani Homestead Road currently designated LDU have been, and still are, serving LDU functions. There is no reason to change the current LDU designations on Kihalani Homestead Road. *COMMENT: The rest of the policies cited do not appear to be relevant to LDU in Laupahoehoe on Kihalani Homestead Road but are listed as part of the LDU issue in order to respond to each "rationale". The rationale cites Policy 2 to support "Taking parcel 055 out of LUP": P Ilicy 2 New urlban d v llopment slhallll The located away -from coast:dll aureas and the 5peclildll Mainageiiii �tein't Airea.
