<br />A member of the community stated that she does not feel that she and others are being included <br />respectfully in the development of the CDPs. The community member stated that many of the <br />members of the community cannot make the CDP meetings because they are working at the time <br />they are held. The community member is concerned with the standardization of access roads <br />through subdivisions. Her concern is that the roads will be widened for access and that people will <br />lose their mailboxes or ‘Ohana units if the county is to widen those roads. <br />Ms. Morrison pointed out that extensive community input was gathered to create these current <br />plans and objectives in the CDPs. It is difficult to reach every member of the community, but we <br />can continue to move forward and improve the objectives and goals for the CDPs with input from <br />the community. <br />A community member stated that she believes the CDPs need to assess and account for the <br />increase in population that we are currently experiencing and will continue to experience. <br />Committee Member Solis stated that in the 6 years he has been here, he has seen constant <br />progress. Committee Member Solis would like to see everyone come together and communicate <br />across communities, attending not only our own community meetings but the community <br />meetings of other communities, as well as subcommittee meetings. <br />Mr. Watkins stated his concern with the fugitive dust issue. He would like to know what standards <br />will be used for these emergency access roads. He stated that the subdivisions want to bid on the <br />rubble from old roads to pave the subdivision roads, but they were denied by the County. Mr. <br />Watson would like this material to be available for subdivisions to use for the roads in the <br />subdivisions. <br />Vice Chair Kealoha was pleased by the presence of Planning Director, Michael Yee and is also <br />pleased to see that moving forward the CDPs will align with the General Plan. <br />The presentation slides that were displayed during this agenda item can be viewed and downloaded from the following <br />website: http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/weblink/1/doc/89782/Page1.aspx <br />2.
