RESOLUTION DESIGNATING BLACK POT BEACH PARK,
LYDGATE BEACH PARK, AND PO'IPU BEACH PARK
AS MANAGED PARKING ZONES SUBJECT TO PARKING FEES
WHEREAS, Kaua'i County Charter Section 4.02(J) provides that the County
Council may adopt resolutions for the purpose of marking roads or regulating and
adjusting the movement of traffic and pedestrians, and mandates that the regulation,
mark, or adjustment sought to be effected is clearly indicated in the places where
effective by legible markers or signs; and
WHEREAS, Sections 16-2.l(b) and (d), Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended,
authorize the County Council to create, define, re-define, eliminate, or change
no-parking zones and time-limit parking zones, and designate the type of markings
or signs to be placed and maintained for the identification of those zones, and to
determine and designate certain curb markings to indicate no parking or standing;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 19-1.20, Kaua'i County Code 1987, as
amended, the Department of Parks and Recreation conducted a study of County
parks to determine the extent of the depletion of resources due to overuse of the
County parks, the degree of harm to County property resulting from overuse of the
County parks, and the controls that may be necessary to address any current and
future harm; and
WHEREAS, Section 19-1.20, Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended,
authorizes the Department of Parks and Recreation to collect parking fees and impose
penalties associated with managed parking at County parks, which based on the
findings of the study, shall be used to protect the parks from future harm and
depletion of resources; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that the real property taxes paid by Kaua'i
residents are used in part to fund the ongoing maintenance of the County's parks and
parking lots, and therefore Kaua'i residents shall be exempt from County managed
parking fees; and
WHEREAS, the Department has completed the study and finds that additional
maintenance and improvement at County parks is necessary to protect County
resources and control overuse and degradation of the parks. The study confirms a
need to collect a reasonable user fee to protect park resources and enable
maintenance and improvements at County parks and parking facilities; now,
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF KAUA'I, STATE OF
HAWAI'I, THAT:
SECTION 1. Black Pot Beach Park, Lydgate Beach Park, and Po'ipu
Beach Park shall be subject to parking fees.
SECTION 2. The Department of Parks and Recreation is authorized to
mark as necessary all no-parking zones and time-limit parking zones in County
parks, and to designate the type of markings or signs to be placed and maintained for
the identification of those zones or areas, and to determine and designate certain curb
markings to indicate no parking or standing.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall take effect upon its approval and the
posting of the appropriate signs and/or markings.
