REPORT OF THE <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS AND <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE <br />DATE: October 18, 2011 <br />PLACE: Council Chambers <br />Kona, Hawai`i <br />TIME: 11:50 a.m. <br />Council Chair and Members <br />Hawai`i County Council <br />Hilo, Hawai`i 96720 <br />Re: Comm. No. 397/Bill No. 115 <br />Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation, to which was referred Bill No. 115, <br />reports as follows: <br />Bill No. 115, transmitted by from Public Works Director Warren W. H. Lee via Communication <br />No. 397, dated September 27, 2011, requests the Hawai'i County Code, Chapter 24, Article 10, <br />Division 5 (Parking), Section 24 -280, Schedule 28 (No parking at anytime), subsection (e) <br />Kohala, be amended by adding new item and renumbering as required: <br />() Hooko Street, both sides, from Paniolo avenue and extending three hundred thirty feet in the <br />westerly direction. <br />This amendment was generated in an effort to restrict people from parking in the <br />subject area, encroaching in the through lane, and causing through traffic from driving in <br />the left turn lane. This particular problem is especially evident on school days during <br />Waikoloa Elementary School start and end times. <br />Councilmember Hoffmann informed committee members that this measure may not fix the <br />problem in the subject area and that solutions will be found through a process of trial and error. <br />He also stated that the school has experienced rapid growth recently to include kindergarten <br />through eighth grades and that has resulted in increased traffic and parking in the area. <br />Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and <br />intent of Bill No. 115, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br />bl <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS & <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />FRED BLAS, CHAIR <br />PWPRC REPORT NO. 54 <br />ADOPTED: NOV 02 2011 <br />AYES <br />NOES <br />A &E <br />EX <br />BLAS <br />X <br />FORD <br />X <br />HOFFMANN <br />X <br />IKEDA <br />X <br />ONISHI <br />X <br />PILAGO <br />X <br />SMART <br />X <br />YAGONG <br />X <br />YOSHIMOTO <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS & <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />FRED BLAS, CHAIR <br />PWPRC REPORT NO. 54 <br />ADOPTED: NOV 02 2011 <br />
