Being that land allocations, and subsequent zoning is created by a combination of Hawaiʻi State Land Use designations, and the Hawaiʻi County General Plan, this thesis addresses preservation and restoration of a region’s natural and cultural resources, and sense of place from a planning approach. In order to incorporate both cultural and environmental resources into an integrated plan, that also accounts for community input, I combine a cultural landscape approach with geographic information systems (GIS) to produce a Heritage Landscape Resource Inventory Model.

  • Part 150: Records of Approval
    Part 150: Records of Approval Kona International Airport, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Approved on 3/23/99 INTRODUCTION The Kona International Airport (KOA) Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) describes the current and future noncompatible land uses based upon the parameters as established in FAR Part 150, Airport Noise Compatibility Planning. The program recommends one (1) noise abatement measure, (1) noise mitigation element, and three (3) program management measures. These measures are summarized in Chapter 7, Recommended Noise Compatibility Program, pages 7-1 through 7-5 of the NCP. The approvals listed herein include approvals of actions that the airport recommends be taken by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It should be noted that these approvals indicate only that the actions would, if implemented, be consistent with the purposes of FAR Part 150. These approvals do not constitute decisions to implement the actions. Later decisions concerning possible implementation of these actions may be subject to applicable environmental or other procedures or requirements. The recommendations below summarize as closely as possible the airport operator’s recommendations in the noise compatibility program and are cross-referenced to the program. The statements contained within the summarized recommendations and before the indicated FAA approval, disapproval, or other determination do not represent the opinions or decisions of the FAA. NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM MEASURES: 1 - NOISE ABATEMENT ELEMENTS: In order to reduce single event noise levels in the airport sideline areas, Mitigation Option T6 was recommended for inclusion in the FAR Part 150 plan. (page 7-1) Use Runway 35 (68 percent of the time) instead of Runway 17 when winds are light during the nighttime period.

    COUNTY OF HAWAII MASS TRANSIT AGENCY BUS STOP LOCATION STUDY INVENTORY AND INITIAL SCREENING REPORT Prepared by: SSFM International, Inc. 501 Sumner Street, Suite 620 Honolulu, HI 96817 Prepared for: County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency 630 E. Lanikaula Street Hilo, HI 96720 June 2010 Bus Stop Location Project for County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Inventory and Initial Screening Report Introduction County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Bus Stop Location Project Inventory and Initial Screening Report I. Introduction The County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency (MTA) currently operates on a flagstop basis. With increased usage and traffic, MTA is moving into a designated bus stop program. SSFM International, Inc. (SSFM) was contracted to identify locations for bus stops islandwide and to determine if locations warrant an official bus stop listed in the Hawaii County Code. Official bus stops will need to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. This Inventory and Initial Screening Report constitutes the deliverable for Task One of the work program for this study. Based on field work conducted and meetings held with bus drivers, SSFM developed a complete inventory of bus stops islandwide. The inventory, consisting of approximately 575 stops, was then divided into priority and non-priority stops for the remainder of the work tasks in this study. Priority stops, totaling approximately 100 stops, were recommended based on surrounding land use, frequency, and local knowledge. The list of priority stops is shown in (Appendix 1). These stops handle the bulk of the ridership and are in close vicinity to schools, resorts, medical facilities, and urban centers.
