Harry Kim <br />Mayor <br />April 24, 2017 <br />County of Hawaii <br />DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT <br />25 Aupuni Street, Room 1301 • Hilo, Hawaii 96720-4252 <br />(808) 961-8366 • Fax (808) 935-1205 <br />E-mail: chresdev@hawaiicounty.gov <br />TO: Michael Yee, Director <br />Planning Department <br />County of Hawaii <br />FROM: Diane Ley, Director <br />Department of Research & Development <br />RE: Review of the Hamakua Community Development Plan <br />Thank you for providing the Department of Research and Development with an <br />Diane L. Ley <br />Director <br />Ron Whitmore <br />Deputy Director <br />opportunity to provide comments on the Hamakua Community Development Plan <br />(CDP). The Department has conducted a brief review and is pleased to note the detail in <br />which the community has identified policies and actions that will support its vision for <br />the future. <br />The Department did not find any policies in the CDP that would conflict with existing <br />County plans to support agriculture, energy or tourism, and since the Department does <br />not have authority to enforce statutes or codes there are no known related conflicts. <br />Assuming the Hamakua CDP is adopted as ordinance, the Department looks forward to <br />actively working with other County departments, as well as State and Federal entities <br />and the communities and businesses of the Hamakua district, to pursue appropriate <br />initiatives that will lead to the implementation of the plan. <br />Again, thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. <br />Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
