Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation,to which was referred Bill No. 84,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 84, transmitted by Public Works Director Warren H.W. Lee, via Communication No. 443
dated August 4, 2015, amends Chapter 24, Article 10, Division 5, of the Hawai`i County Code 1983
(2005 Edition, as amended), relating to parking.
The bill amends Section 24-280 (No parking at anytime), Subsection (f), Kona, by extending the
portion of Hina-Lani Street where parking is prohibited.
Council Member Paleka voiced his concern as to whether there were provisions in the
Hawai`i County Code for exemptions for emergencies to the "No parking at anytime" law. He stated
that Hina-Lani Street is a very steep road and there are sure to be possible car break-downs.
Council Chair Dru Kanuha spoke of the dangers of parking around the Ulu Wini housing complex
area. He also requested clarification on whether Hina-Lani Street is a collector or connector road.
Council Member Eoff informed the Council that parking on Hina-Lani Street is currently being
relieved by expanding parking at the Ulu Wini housing complex.
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and intent
of Bill No. 84, and recommends its passage on first reading.
