2017 CIP Recommendation Letter for 2018-19 November Draft

Home

November 27, 2017 South Kohala CDP Action Committee 2018-19 CIP Recommendations Page 2 of 2 only public emergency shelter in coastal South Kohala without operation expense to the County of Hawaii. See SKCDP "General Policy No. 4: Develop programs and standards that will protect the SK community from natural hazards..." and "Sub -policy 4.3: Government agencies should consider providing more emergency shelter facilities in South Kohala." The SKCDP Action Committee finds that infrastructure and facilities to meet public needs for emergency services, evacuation and shelter are of paramount importance in both coastal and mid -slope urbanized and growing communities in South Kohala. The Action Committee recommends that infrastructure and facilities should be aligned and located in a manner than allows community inter -connections to the extent feasible to ensure that the individual communities can provide some degree of emergency support for each other. In particular, the requested second arterial route in and out of Waikoloa Village should be aligned to support this objective, as should the siting and provision of a lowland public emergency shelter, such as is recommended to be sited at Honokoa, in the Kawaihae vicinity, in cooperation with DHHL. 3. (Any additional items to be determined 11/15/17) Should you have any questions regarding these requests, please contact Keola Childs, your South Kohala CDP Planner. Sincerely, JOHN MUELLER, Chair South Kohala Community Development Plan Action Committee cc: Herbert M.
