Dear Commissioners,
I am writing to comment on item 4 in New Business concerning Hawaii Island Community Development
Corporation (HICDC) (PL-REZ-2024-000066). I am a member of Waimea Trails and Greenways—we have
advocated for Ke Ala Kahawai o Waimea (The Streamside Trail of Waimea) since 1994. We would like to see
the Trail be extended from Waimea down to the Kohala Coast to link up to Ke Ala Kahakai (shoreline trail) in
the vicinity where Waiulaula Stream meets the coastline.
Because this is a stream side trail and the streams from Waimea run through the land that HICDC is
proposing to develop,we would like to insure that land would be available for this County trail to extend to
the coast following the stream. We would like to have a public access plan requirement imposed for
subdivision approval acknowledging and providing for the extension of the trail.
Thank you,
Clemson Lam
