The Committee has weighed the expressed desire of hundreds of community members to protect the point from future development,and the land owner, his son and his supporters. Factor 1 of the Draft CDP states: Minimize new coastal development. This first factor used in evaluating LUPAG designations is based on Community Objective#1,which states: "Protect, restore,and enhance watershed ecosystems,sweeping views,and open spaces from mauka forests to makai shorelines,while assuring responsible public access for recreational,spiritual,cultural,and sustenance practices." 7 years to develop the new Hamakua Community Development Plan is long enough.The steering committee has listened to all interested parties on future development, in order to draft a plan that reflects the hopes of the community for the future. Designating this beautiful,fragile, cliftside point as OPEN is one step toward reflecting the desire of the community to MINIMIZE NEW COASTAL DEVELOPMENT. Legal arguments should be made by attorneys representing the County and not be a factor in determining the future LUPAG designation. 10 069
