Community Development Plans are intended to serve as a forum for community input into land use, delivery of government services and any other matters relating to the planning area. The Kona Community Development plan is a pilot initiative in Hawai`i County. Community Development Plans for all of our island's districts will follow.

This first-ever initiative in Hawai`i County was set in motion by the County Council's adoption of the General Plan earlier this year.

The General Plan is the County’s long-range planning policy document. Organized into 13 elements, the General Plan is a blueprint which identifies broad goals, policies and standards relating to land use, conservation and protection of natural and historical resources, transportation and public infrastructure on the Island of Hawaii.

The County Charter requires that a review of the General Plan be initiated every ten years.

The County Council approved the most recent update of the General Plan in February 2005.

The General Plan approved in 2005 established the Community Development Plan program.

Community Development Plans are intended to translate broad General Plan goals, policies, and standards into implementation actions, as they apply to specific geographical regions around the Island.

Community Development Plans are also intended to serve as a forum for community input into land use, delivery of government services and any other matters relating to the planning area.

For the first time, the County of Hawaii offers a program for regional planning. Through the creation of Community Development Plans, communities will be invited to provide input into the creation of policies, as well as to identify implementation actions designed for their specific region of the County.

The General Plan now requires that a Community Development Plan shall be adopted by the County Council as an "ordinance", giving the Community Development Plan the force of law.

This is in contrast to plans created over past years, adopted by "resolution" that served only as guidelines or reference documents to decision-makers.

It is not mandatory that there be a Community Development Plan for each region.

The County Planning Department has begun the process of for the creation of Community Development Plans for two Districts: Kona and Puna.

The decision to begin the program with these two Plans was based on the urgent need for regional planning, due to rapid development taking place in those districts.

Community Development Plans for the other districts will follow.

The Kona Community Development Plan has been identified as the County’s pilot Community Development Plan to test new planning and community participation methods.

The Kona Community Development Plan will cover the geographic districts of North Kona, reaching nearly to Waikoloa Village, and South Kona, including the community of Miloli`i.

The first task in developing the Kona Community Development Plan will be to invite the people living in the district to provide their input regarding the needs for Kona. The community will be asked how they foresee the future of Kona, how they want to manage growth and their ideas for achieving it.

The completed Kona Community Development Plan will be action-oriented. It will identify a combination of land use amendments, regulatory changes, budgetary items, public/private partnership building, and community-based implementation activities that will be needed to accomplish a variety of goals.

The Kona Community Development Plan will address, at a minimum, the 13 elements contained within the General Plan as they relate to Kona. These Elements are:

• Economic
• Energy
• Environmental Quality
• Flooding and Natural Hazards
• Historic Sites
• Natural Beauty
• Natural Resources and Shoreline
• Housing
• Public Facilities
• Public Utilities
• Recreation
• Transportation
• Land Use

The purpose of these meetings was to let the community know that we are beginning the Community Development Plan planning process, to describe the process and to invite residents to participate in the process.

The purpose of this series of meetings was to get a broad-brush familiarity with the issues in Kona.

The purpose of this series of small meetings is to go out into the community to hear from the entire range of people who have a stake in the future of Kona.

From February though May a series of workshops will be held, with the intention of generating and examining alternative future scenarios for Kona. Ultimately, these public workshops will serve to select preferred future scenarios for Kona.

The purpose of this half-day workshop is to get the community to express what they see as the future of Kona in a concrete way.

This three-day workshop will generate and assess alternative future scenarios for Kona

This second three-day workshop will be to select a preferred future scenario for Kona.

Council Member Virginia Isbell and the Department of Public Works will host a public meeting regarding concerns of the La’aloa community on Tuesday, November 29, 2005 from 6-8 p.m. at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel.

The two major issues that will be discussed are:

• The ongoing construction of the Ali’i Heights Subdivision by Towne Development.
• The Environmental Assessment for the La’aloa Avenue Extension project which will provide a mauka-makai connector between Kuakini Highway and Ali’i Drive.

For the past several years, Towne Development has been constructing new homes in the Ali’i Heights Subdivision. Residents of the White Sands Subdivision and those families that bought homes in the early phases of the Ali’i Heights Subdivision have been living with the construction noise, speeding, dust and truck traffic in their neighborhood.

The initial part of the meeting will allow a forum for the community to directly air their concerns with the developer’s representative and County department representatives.

During the second half of the meeting, the recent Draft Environmental Assessment for the La’aloa Avenue Extension project will be discussed. Currently there are no mauka-makai connector roads between Kuakini Highway and Ali’i Drive for approximately 3.5 miles between Royal Poinciana Drive and King Kamehameha III Road.

Traffic projections are forecasted to rise over the next 10-20 years, worsening already existing traffic problems in Kailua on both Ali’i Drive and Kuakini Highway. While the La’aloa Avenue Extension project would provide motorists with an alternative route to relieve some of Kona’s traffic problems, many La’aloa residents have concerns about the proposed project.

Public Works wants to initiate an active dialogue with the community about their concerns and discuss possible solutions to address these concerns.

The community is encouraged to take part in addressing both the ongoing Ali’i Heights subdivision construction and the La’aloa Avenue Extension project.

The Kona Community Development Plan (CDP) is the County of Hawaii’s pilot community development plan. The goal is to make this planning process an inclusive and community-based process.

To encourage community participation, Community Brainstorming Sessions are being held as an opportunity for residents to share their ideas about the future and how they can help to shape the future of Kona. The results of the sessions will be compiled and shared at the first of a series of community workshops to be held in early February 2006.

There will be several opportunities for the public to participate in the small group sessions. The community is encouraged to attend a session in their neighborhood or even host a meeting in their home.

Meetings are conducted by volunteer facilitators following a protocol which requires that no more than 12 people to attend each session. Meetings will be added as needed and anyone can host a meeting of their own. The following sites have offered to host sessions on the following dates:

Weekday sessions are from 6 -8 pm, Saturday sessions are from 3-5 pm. The community is encouraged to sign up and use this opportunity to share their thoughts. For further information and to reserve a space, please contact the Hawaii County Resource Center at 324-0400.

A brief description of the CDBG and HOME Programs are as follows:

Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-383) created the CDBG Program, which became effective January 1, 1974. Under the CDBG Program, a community is able to develop a flexible, locally designed comprehensive community development strategy in order to address the program's primary objective: "...development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and suitable living environments and expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income."

Under the CDBG program, grants or loan assistance may be used by eligible public agencies, private non-profit organizations, and Community Based Development Organizations (CBDO), (non-profit organization) for the following activities provided that these activities either 1) principally benefit low and moderate income families, 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or 3) meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.

• Acquisition, disposition of real property, relocation payments, clearance
• Public facilities
• Public service
• Payment of non-federal share
• Homeownership (i.e. subsidize interest, mortgage guarantee, down payment, closing cost)
• Rehabilitation and preservation
• Economic development, micro-enterprises
• Planning and administration

The HOME Program was created under Title II (the HOME Investment Partnership Act) of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. The purpose of the HOME Program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for very low and low-income persons.

Under the HOME Program, equity investments, interest-bearing and non-interest bearing loans or advances, deferred payment loans, grants, may be used by eligible public agencies, private non-profit organizations, developers, owners, community housing development organizations or other private organizations are eligible to utilize HOME funds for the following activities.

• Development hard costs defined as the actual cost of constructing or rehabilitating housing.
• Acquisition costs.
• Related soft costs defined as other reasonable and necessary costs incurred and associated with the financing or development (or both) of new construction, rehabilitation or acquisition of housing assisted with HOME funds.
• Relocation costs.
• Cost related to tenant-based rental assistance.

Applicants applying for HOME funding are required to match for every $1.00 of federal HOME funds expended for the project with at least $.25 of eligible matching funds.

For more information, please contact the Office of Housing and Community Development at 961-8379.

Join with members of our Hawai`i Island community to help the families of servicemen and women deployed overseas.

In many cases, the families of our deployed servicemen and women need a hand with chores or homework -- needs that would normally be dealt with by the service member.

While the National Guard has a Family Assistance Coordinator in the County of Hawai`i who handles these needs for the more than 250 Hawai`i Island families of the Guard and Reservists, he and the families could use our help.

Mayor Harry Kim and Council Chair Stacy Higa have put out a call to County workers to volunteer time to help their neighbors whose loved ones are deployed.

We welcome anyone in our community who is willing to offer aloha and a small amount of time and to help the families of our deployed servicemen and women.

To offer your help, please contact the Guard's Family Assistance Coordinator David Ferreira at 933-0931 or 756-0370.

The 2005 Carousel of Care-Caring for Family, Caring for Yourself conference, aimed at offering practical help to caregivers, will be held on November 30 at the Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. Keynote speaker will be Dr. Kalani Brady.

This conference offers a wealth of information for caregivers, featuring expert speakers, resource exhibits of local agencies and organizations and volunteer coaching.

This conference aims to help caregivers get through their daily routines safely and easily. Moreover, the conference provides an opportunity to network with other caregivers.

Volunteers from the community coach the caregivers in a variety of leisure activities like art therapy, scrap-booking, tea ceremony and flower-arranging, and provide therapeutic services like massage, Healing Touch, and music therapy.

When it started back in 1999, the Hawaii Community Caregiver Network (HCCN), assisted by the Hawaii County Office of Aging (HCOA) and the Alzheimer’s Association had a pretty good idea that family caregivers needed as much help as they could get.

Caregivers are the true heroes of health care in our nation.

HCCN recognizes that caregivers need to preserve their own health and maintain a balanced lifestyle and designed this all-day caregiver conference to help caregivers do just that. According to the response that first year and every year for the past seven years, they were right.

Caregivers need to share experiences and learn what works and what doesn’t. They can take comfort from others who empathize with the emotional roller coaster ride they all experience.

Deadline to register: November 14. Space is limited and attendance will be on a first come, first served basis. No cancellation refunds after November 23rd.

• Eight sessions designed for family caregivers are offered in the morning. Caregivers may choose two sessions that will be most helpful to their situation.
• A Resource Fair will be open from 7:30 a.m. to noon. Exhibit staff will be available with information about local services and products as well as helpful tips and tools to assist the caregiver at home.
• Self-care stations will be available from 1:15 – 3:00 p.m. to treat caregivers therapeutically in an environment of emotional support and physical renewal. Self-care coaches will guide the caregivers through such activities as flower and tea therapy, art therapy, music therapy, massage therapy and healing touch. There is something for everyone.

Registration Fee (includes the day’s workshops, luncheon, refreshments and exhibits):

• $20.00 for unpaid caregivers who completes the Caregiver Registry form on the back page of the Conference Registration Form is required for this reduced price.
• $25.00 for all other. This includes service/home care providers, paid caregivers, and students.

Respite Care: The Hawaii County Office of Aging may be able to locate respite care for older family members so family caregivers can attend this conference. Be sure to indicate your need on the registration form. Conference staff will contact you to make necessary arrangements.

Scholarships: If you are a Native Hawaiian or an unpaid caregiver of a Native Hawaiian, scholarships may be available through ALU LIKE, INC. Complete the Scholarship Application form and mail to ALU LIKE, INC. directly.

Accommodations for People with Disabilities: Every effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities (i.e. special seating). If you need special help, indicate your need on registration form.

For more information and to obtain the conference registration form, please call the Hawaii County Office of Aging, Laverne Omori or Bernie Canda at 327-3597.

FREE MULCH is now available at both the Hilo and Kailua-Kona (Kealakehe) Transfer Stations. At the present time, no loading fees are being charged, although the public is advised to ask the operator for loading assistance. There may be a short wait time if the operator is busy.

The public may drop off green waste at either facility between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm seven days a week. Loading assistance is available at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona processing sites Monday through Saturday.

Residents are encouraged to contact any of the local trucking firms to arrange for delivery of large loads of mulch to their homes or places of business. Although there is no charge for the mulch and loading fees are waived, the public will need to pay their own delivery charges as negotiated with a local trucking firm.

EKO Composting Systems has assumed the operations of the County of Hawaii’s green waste drop-off and pick-up areas at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona (Kealakehe) Transfer Stations as of July 1, 2005.

The County is working on the development of a composting facility at the materials recovery area of the West Hawai`i Sanitary Landfill, which will also include receiving bays for used cooking oil and grease trap waste. When the new composting facility is completed, EKO will commence the production of high quality, U.S. Council certified, compost.

In addition, EKO Composting Systems along with partner company Pacific Biodiesel will be initiating the capture of waste oils for the production of biodiesel.

The public should be aware that there are size requirements that must be met in order to drop off residential and commercially hauled green waste at the processing facilities at Kailua-Kona and Hilo green waste yards.

These size requirements must also be followed for any green waste dropped at the Keaau Recycling and Reuse Center, as well as for any green waste disposed of at one of the County’s 21 residential solid waste transfer stations.

Materials not accepted at these green waste drop-off sites include:

• No garbage bags
• No plastic
• No lumber (No logs greater than 5’ in length, no logs greater than 18" in diameter)
• No glass
• No metal
• No rocks

Please note that at this time, no pallets may be delivered to the green waste processing facilities although the County intends to begin receiving pallets for chipping starting next year.

If loads delivered to the green waste drop-off sites and/or County transfer stations do not meet these criteria, the other option will be to dispose of the load at either the County’s South Hilo or West Hawai’i Sanitary Landfills. Green waste loads that do not meet acceptable requirements will be charged a special handling fee of $85/load in addition to the tip fee of $65/ton IF taken to either County landfill.

For further information, please contact the County’s recycling coordinator at 961-8942.
