<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3c9 <br /> <br /> F"6 AUG 21 PM 1' <br /> <br /> <br /> SHOW ME THE MONEY C0-- i <br /> <br /> Testimony in support of Bills 318 and 319 by Bob Hunter <br /> P.O. Box 2709, Kamuela, 11196743 <br /> Tel: 885-4194 E-mail- bob6E4wcbpatent.eom <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed two ordinances would add a coucurrency requirement to the Hawaii <br /> County Code in a fairly straightforward way. Adoption would increase the <br /> <br /> likelihood that an acceptable level of service will be maintained in two of the <br /> county's critical infrastructure systems as we grow. The conceptual framework is to <br /> control concurrency at the time of subdivision (and condo regime creation) but to <br /> <br /> get a commitment to do so at the time of zone change. Only water (in existing <br /> service areas) and transportation facilities are addressed, to keep it simple. In <br /> <br /> essence, adequate infrastructure capacity has to he either in existence at the time of <br /> subdivision or a funded capital improvements program has to be in place to provide <br /> <br /> the capacity within a reasonable time. The County's Six Year CIP would be <br /> converted from its current status as an unconstrained "wish list" document to a <br /> "commitment to fund priority projects" document. If adopted, the ordinances could <br /> <br /> have the effect of focusing (prioritizing) infrastructure capacity improvement in <br /> areas that will need it as then-approved subdivisions are built out. <br /> <br /> <br /> I am happy to see the council considering implementation of a coneurrency management <br /> system for Hawaii County. The proposed two ordinances before you are modeled on a <br /> Washington state law that requires that cities and counties in that state to set up <br /> <br /> concurrency management systems that link approval of each new development project to <br /> plans for funding transportation capital improvements needed to accommodate the <br /> development. <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed two ordinances would add a coneurrency requirement to the Hawaii <br /> <br /> County Code in a fairly straightforward way. The ordinances do not in any way interfere <br /> with the system of negotiated exactions from developers that is currently in use by the <br /> Comm. No. <br /> Ref. To: reteNd <br /> 1 Ref.
