Yay! dGP2045 is Pau!

Well, the Leeward Planning Commission is done with our part of the process anyway. We completed our review & amendments of the draft General Plan 2045 this afternoon at 4:28 p.m. I think Kelsie said there were a total of 51 amendments to the draft document that we passed. Once all the information is summarized, our favorable recommendation will be sent to the County Council. When they have the recommendation from the Windward Planning Commission, which must be sent to them by the end of March; the Council will begin their process. I think the timeline is for the draft General Plan 2045 to be adopted by the end of the year.

If you're a glut for punishment you can watch the nearly 7 hour long You Tube video of the final session here. (We met on 5 previous days also.)

On the way to Kona, I ran in to a traffic jam in Kawaihae! Fortunately, it was a very short wait. There was work being done on the overhead power lines so there was just a very short section of road that was down to just 1 lane. 

I stopped at Home Depot to see if more units of the replacement light fixture for over the kitchen sink had come in; they did! But it was down to just 1, which is more than they had last time; I quickly picked it up & went on with the rest of my shopping. I also checked out step stools; I have not been able to find the one I brought with me. I think this is the likeliest candidate.

By the time I got home it was 7:30; I had been gone for a little over 12 hours! Moʻo was very glad to see me. I fed both of us dinner. While I was eating mine, I was watching the evening news via the internet. Then I realized, I had finished dinner & the monitor was silent ... at some point I had fallen asleep! I did not think I was so tired that I wouldn't even know I had fallen asleep. I then got in to bed for reals. 😴

I was so tired, I didn't have the energy to collect more than the basic information that the eruption at Kīlauea was still paused. 😿

Hauʻoli lā Hānau e Rich & Christian! (Christian is one of the planners that has been helping with the review of the draft General Plan. We made him work on his birthday.)
