109
Section 23-64a – amend the text to include the preamble from KCDP page 4-32
110
regarding the Rural Area “Outside of the Kona Urban Area, the character of the
111
rural areas should prevail. This means that limited future growth should be directed
112
to the existing rural towns and villages in a way that revitalizes and enhances the
113
existing rural lifestyle and culture of those communities. Outside of these towns
114
and villages, the protection of important agricultural land is a priority objective.
115
Protecting these lands requires regulations and incentives that will keep these lands
116
available for agricultural use. Any development outside of the rural towns and
117
villages should be directed to suitable areas that are not important for agriculture,
118
in clustered patterns that will optimize the preservation of rural open space.”
119
Discussion reference should also be made toward LU-3.4 and not LU-3.5 of the
120
KCDP (LU-3.5 only refers to IAL lands which are less than 5 acres)
121
Section 23-64a (6) [line 3] replace “trails” with or proposed trails or pathways”
122
Chapter 25 – The Action Committee discussed the proposed revisions, as suggested by
123
comments received, and the comments/concerns brought forth.
124
Height – should there be a clarification regarding adding in a definition of height in
125
feet. Reference should be instead of 75 feet to not exceed Table 6 of the Village
126
Design Guidelines or Figure 3.6 of the Kailua Village Master Plan.
127
Should reference/incorporate the existing Kailua Village Master Plan, which does
128
complement the VDG with regards to addressing a possible “canyon” effect with
129
the height.
130
Canopy requirements will need to be included and enforced – landscaping need to
131
be maintained – to create a true walk-ability of our TODs.
132
Some Comments/Feedbacks need to come in from KVDC and KBID to see if
133
these groups are viewing this proposed amendments.
134
Discussion regarding the Chapter 25 proposed amendments will be continued at the next
135
meeting.
