KNA planning committee seeks three-week developer notice for proposed projects

At the Sept. 5 meeting Beryl Blaich summarized the Planning Committee’s efforts to improve communication with the Kauai County Planning Department and developers. As Beryl put it, “we want to establish a protocol with the county and future developers to provide the KNA with proposed development information up to three weeks in advance, by email if necessary, so that the board members will have appropriate time to study the information before reaching an opinion on the matter.”

The committee asked for short-term updates on several ongoing items including the Hay subdivision, the county general plan and a proposed bypass road. The board reported it is attempting to confirm Planning Director Mike Dihilig’s attendance at a future meeting to discuss those items directly with county staff.
