Re: Subdivision Code Revision
Dear Mr. Balog:
The Planning and County Issues Committee of the Hawaii Leeward Planning Conference
would like to submit the following comments on the Iuly 31, 1995 draft and the April 8, 1996
summary of comments:
1. neral
Overall, there aze a lot of ideas in the code we feel aze very positive. We pazticulazly
support the effort to include graphic tables and illustrations where possible.
2. Soecific section comments:
A. Section 23-3- Phased Development. We recommend deleting the entire
third sentence which now reads: "The basis for the required improvements for
the overall tract development shall be documented in a development agreement
pursuant to chapter 30 of the County code.".
B. Section 23-3-2. Application involving both land court and regulaz system
lands. We recommend adding the words "where feasible" in front of the
proposed language which now reads "No proposed lot shall include a mix of
lands registered in land court and unregistered lands.".
C. Section 23-4-24. Right of Way Width, Pavement Width, Sidewalk and Curb
Requirements. section (b) (2). We recommend restoring the following
language "Planting strip. For purposes of safety and aesthetics, a median strip

of grassed or landscaped area at least two feet wide plgy (not shall) separate
sidewalks from adjacent curbs in azeas zoned residential with a minimum lot
size of 10,000 s.f. or less; in all other areas the sidewalk may extend to the
curb.".
D. Section 23-4-26. Grades and Curves. a recommend adding the word
"average" to the last sentence so that it reads "In no event, however, shall the
average street grades exceed the following:...".
E. Section 33-4-37 of Division 7. Wastewater Sewer Systems Available. We
recommend adding the following phrase to the beginning of the second
sentence: ""When required by the State Department of Health" sewer lines shall
be installed...".
F. Section 23-4-39. General of Division 8. Drainage (paragraph (b), first
sentence). We recommend adding the word "swales" after "grassed" and
adding "within the right of way" at the end of the sentence after "practicable".
3. Section 23-4-24. Right of Way Width, Pavement Width, Sidewalk and Curb
Requirements. We recommend revision of table 1 on page 72 of code revision draft
