Communication No. 2018-13- Janice Palma-Glennie CDP Amendments

Home

Communication No. 2018-13 requirement which is at the heart of the KCDP. • Policy TRAN-2.1 buries a change that would allow formerly banned gated communities along the coast. • Policy TRAN-3.8: Like the changes to Tran -1.2, the proposed removal of requiring transit hubs in Transit Oriented Development means it is just Development. • Policy TRAN-1.5: Frontage Road: The KCDP should be amended to exempt the Kaloko- Honokohau National Park from being included in our roadway system. I suggest striking " makai of Queen Ka' ahumanu Highway" from this section while retaining the ability of the State to approve the use of the 300 -foot easement for a continuation of the frontage road. The use of the word "feasible" is interesting and potentially damaging to the ordinance's intent. How could a legal challenge be mounted were a developer or landowner doing something contrary to the KCDP if a claim is made by them, whether true or not, that doing the right thing isn't "feasible"? My biggest overall concern is if any of the new language allows growth to occur without maintaining the strong protective language and "win-win" requirements currently embodied in the plan. To support the Public Trust, that commitment and balance must be maintained even if some development and/or developers are put off. I look forward to these and other continued discussions meant to enhance the practicality and viability of the KCDP. Mahalo and sincerely, Janice Palma-Glennie
