STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING ITEMS ON AGENDA
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
1. Minutes of the Meeting of April 02, 2014
2. Approval of Addendum and/or Supplemental Agenda (requires six (6) votes, and must
comply with HRS § 92-7
BUSINESS OF COMMITTEE: ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Discuss and propose action to oppose the NPS petition to designate the
Keauhou
Aquifer.
2. Discuss
Concerns for Concurrency
a. The concurrency road list Trans 6.2 prioritizes road improvements. Table 4-1
concurrency zone does not have a clear and accurate build ability status report.
b. Prioritized road improvements does not allow for changing conditions. Such as for
example Kahului Keauhou parkway AKA Alii Hwy. In the event this priority road
cannot be built due to conditions out of everyones control, how will the priority be re-
established? How will this event affect the planning process and conformity of
concurrency? What will the impacts be to our community and its growth patterns?

c. TRAN Policy 6-1 states that: Any rezoning outside of a designated TOD within the
Kona Urban Area (UA) approved prior to the completion of the Queen Kaahumanu
Highway widening to the airport shall restrict occupancy until this widening project is
completed.
Although funded but no actual start date can reasonably be given, so no occupancy
permits for any new rezoning can be granted. If concurrency remains true to its wording
then we are in a moratorium and no development will occur due to the unpredictability of
Queen Kaahumanu Hwy. So, can a review process be developed to credit roads that
have recently been completed. Such as Anekeohokalole Hwy and its effect on Queen
Kaahumanu Hwy? Should priorities shift at that point?
d. Small land owners are burden by big infrastructure cost with no mechanism to adjust
to project size.
e. A financing program needs to be established so government and development can
realize cost effectiveness and timing can be determined.
f. Although, not listed on priority roads the Kuakini Road improvement which is in the
jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii. This road is a priority on the county level but not a
state priority. Recommendations should be discussed as well for and
Concurrency
methods of implementation.
