COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: August 18, 2009 Re: Comm. No. 471/Reso No 219-09
PLACE: Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa

TIME: 4:00 p.m.
Council Chair and Members
Hawat`i County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Communication No. 471, reports as
follows:
Communication No 471, transmitted by Council Member Pete Hoffmann, dated July 20, 2009
presents a resolution introducing proposed amendments to Chapter 25, article 2, division 4,
section 25-2-46, of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended).
The resolution requests the Planning Director and the Planning commission submit comments on
the proposed amendments to include parks and recreation and firefighting facilities in
concurrency requirements.
Concerns were raised that the concurrency requirements are inherently biased against small
landowners and/or small subdivisions. Planning Director Leithead-Todd stated that water or the
lack thereof proves to be the biggest problem for meeting concurrency requirements.
Fire Chief Darryl Oliveira stated that he was generally in support of the concept, as it might help
bring more facilities to the county.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No 219-09,
and recommends its adoption.
