Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation, to which was referred Bill No. 307
reports as follows:
Bill No. 307, transmitted by Public Works Director Warren H. Lee, via Communication No.
1103 dated September 23, 2014, amends Chapter 24, Article 10, Division 6, Section 24-287,
Schedule 35 (Passenger loading zones), subsection (c), South Hilo, of the Hawai`i County Code
1983 (2005 Edition, as amended) by adding new item and renumbering as required:
() Kamehameha Avenue, storefront parking lot, southwest (mauka) side, one hundred sixty-
six feet northwest of Haili Street and extending one hundred fifty-six feet in the northwesterly
direction, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8: a.m. on school days only.
This amendment will provide a designated loading/unloading area for the Connections Public
Charter School and will be in effect each school day.
Mr. Yoshimoto is in support of this measure and stated that the purpose of the bill is to address
safety concerns regarding student drop off at the school. He further stated that the school has
successfully piloted this project for several months and this bill will officially codify it in the
County Code.
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose
and intent of Bill No. 307, and recommends it passage on first reading.
