ACTION COMMITTEE REPORT:
Report on new applicants, dissolution of Subcommittees, and potential AC meeting day change.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT APPLICATIONS:
SUB 17-001751 — County failed to notify AC of this application. Draft letter attached to resubmit our
request that all Subdivision Applications be forwarded to the AC.
Additionally, it was discussed to confirm zoning and the size of the proposed lots. Also confirm the
original subdivision does not have conditions prohibiting this.
CDP DISCUSSION - SECTION 2.4: LAND USE AND THE IMPACT OF NON -AGRICULTURE
BUSINESS IN AN AGRICULTURE DISTRICT, SPECIFICALLY GUEST RANCHES AND
VENUES FOR WEDDINGS OR OTHER NON -AGRICULTURE EVENTS/ACTIVITIES.
1 — Reiterate original CDP concern that if the County continues to allow for an increase in overnight
accommodations that they commit to considering the impacts that decision has on infrastructure
demands.
2 — Plan to organize future discussion around this topic with a speaker from the County to discuss
particulars.
CDP DISCUSSION - STRATEGY 4.4: IMPROVE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND
RESPONSE, THE HAWAII COUNTY SIGN CODE, AND THE IMPACT OF LARGE LIGHTED
SIGNS.
1 — The recent installation of a roadside, illuminated, automated sign has stirred the community.
Encouragement for a Kohala Village Article added to the sign code similar to Kailua and Pahoa.
2 — Reiterate frustration being excluded from the process. Neither the NKCDP Action Committee nor
any of the Subcommittees were notified and their input not solicited. The County needs to recognize
the importance of seeking and obtaining a community's advisory commission's written recommendation
The next meeting and guest speaker will be announced later this month.
