Reconsideration of Motion:  Property Tax Resolution presented to board in February 2008

Sustainability and Environmental Committee

Motion 1 – Resolution:

Whereas, Kailua (Neighborhood Board #31) is a residentially zoned area with no resort facilities and carrying capacity limited by a finite infrastructure,

Whereas, the Koolaupoko Sustainable Communities Plan (“SCP”) emphasizes the need and requirement to protect the integrity of residential neighborhoods in, among other places, Kailua,

Whereas, its residents purchased their homes with this implicit trust and thus expected that their town center, community and neighborhoods would at no time be promoted as a tourist destination, and this type of promotion is contrary to the SCP,

Whereas, Kailua residents pay state property taxes in good faith and with the reliance that the State of Hawaii, its representatives, and agencies will not take action nor allow action that is detrimental to the integrity of residential neighborhoods,

Whereas, non-permitted or illegal TVRs are operating in Kailua,

Whereas, water-sport equipment rental businesses have set up non-permitted operations in Kailua Beach Park, its beach and waters, and at public right-of-ways in Kailua (including Kalama Beach and Lanikai) which have no lifeguards, public facilities, or parking,

Whereas, these non-permitted and/or illegal business operations are featured on the website and editorial/advertising materials of the Hawaii Visitor and Convention Bureau (“HVCB”),

Be It Resolved, that the Kailua Neighborhood Board views such actions as contrary to the SCP and strongly opposes the use of public monies by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and the HVCB and Convention Bureau which have the affect of promoting illegal, non-permitted or non-compliant businesses and activities which are a detriment to the residential environs of Kailua.

Be It Further Resolved, that the Kailua Neighborhood Board strongly opposes the use of public monies with the intent of promoting Kailua as a tourist destination which again is counter to residential neighborhoods.

            Motion 2:  In recognizing the need for accurate information to the Hawaii-bound traveler as well as

the need to protect residential zoning, the Kailua Neighborhood Board urges the HVCB to publish–in any and all forms of its media–the legal conditions for any owner, proprietor or agent to offer transient-vacation-rental accommodations, including bed and breakfasts and transient vacation units, in residentially zoned areas.

Transportation and Public Works Committee

Motion:  The KNB requests the City and County to install speed bumps on the 400 block of Iliaina

      Street as requested by petition of 22 of 28 the residents.

Public Health, Public Safety & Civil Defense Committee

Motion: The Kailua Neighborhood Board reaffirms support for a 311 non emergency system.

Parks and Recreation Committee: 

Motion:  The Kailua Neighborhood Board supports the intent of SB 3100 as relates to civil penalties

for violations on public lands with increased civil penalty fine amounts for violations on public lands and clarification of penalties for encroachment on public lands.

Executive Committee:

            Motion 1 - The KNB supports reinstating $20,000 into the Neighborhood Commission Office

                  budget for Olelo webcasting for neighborhood boards.

            Motion 2 - The KNB supports the Mililani Neighborhood Board resolution which opposes

                  term limits for neighborhood board members.

Non-Committee Motions:

Motion 1 – The KNB supports the intent of the following bills which are consistent with the

      board’s position to improve beach access:

·         HB 839 relating to public access to beaches 

·         HB 3265 RELATING TO PUBLIC ACCESS TO COASTAL AREAS
