Draft 2)
ORDINANCE NO. 91 140
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14, ARTICLE 10, OF THE HAWAII COUNTY
CODE, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO EXCEPTIONAL TREES.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Findings and Purpose. The Council finds that many
discrepencies in Section 14-65 of Article 10, Chapter 14, differ
from the original ordinance which was adopted in 1983. By amending
this section to add nine trees to the existing list of 17
exceptional trees and to add the tax map key or locations to some of
the trees, the Council would like at the same time to clean up the
ordinance. The Council feels that repealing this section and adding
a new section in its correct form would simplify the process and
lessen the confusion.
The Council is aware of the controversy concerning the Wi tree
on the Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden site in Kona and feels that
the Wi tree should also at this time be deleted from the Exceptional
Tree List in Section 14-65.
SECTION 2. Chapter 14, Article 10, Section 14-65, of the
Hawaii County Code, 1983, relating to designated exceptional trees
is repealed and a new Section 14-65 is added to Article 10,
Chapter 14 of the Hawaii County Code (1983) to read as follows:
