CHESTER K. WENTWORTH, Territorial Planning Board

Pursuant to the provisions of Act 207, Session Laws of 1937, the Territorial Planning Board was authorized, among other things

to collect and publish information relating to the development of the Territory and the conservation and use of its natural resources designed to promote the general welfare, and make such recommendations thereon to the Governor and the Legislature as it may deem proper and advisable."

Complying with a request from the National Resources Planning Board for our participation in the preparation of a national "Program for the Conservation and Development of the Resources of the United States, "the Director prepared and submitted a contribution for Hawaii, following that for the National Resources Planning Board Pacific Southwest Region, for the criticism of interested department heads and citizens of Hawaii. Revised for early National use and publication, in a style to conform to the requirements of the National Resources Planning Board, the "Program for Hawaii" is submitted herewith as a first statement of planning objectives, to accompany the presentation of the inventorial material of our First Progress Report to the Twentieth Legislative Session. Our sincere appreciation is hereby expressed for the excellent treatment on a National basis of our "program" as part of the National program by Mr. V. B. Stanbery, Counselor of Region 8, National Resources Planning Board.

Added to this "Program for Hawaii" is our allied list of recommendations derived to date from our planning deliberations, together with the statements of personnel and recommendations from the Land Planning Committee and the Human Resources Committee. It is hoped to convert these recommendations into suitable bills for introduction and consideration by the Legislature.

Our thanks go to all Members of these two Committees who have already contributed materially in a coordination of ideas for planning for our "Land and Its People" and the even greater contribution to come

in both land and human planning based on the organized foundation of personnel and material that is now being effected within these two Committees.

Changes in membership of the Board during the past two years are indicated on a preceding page. We wish in particular to record our deep sense of loss by the untimely death on September 2, 1940 of Louis Sylvester Cain, who had been for many years a leader in the cause of planning in Hawaii.

Following the precedent established in the form of our First Progress Report: "An Historic Inventory of the Physical, Social and Economic and Industrial Resources of the Territory of Hawaii,' a biennial report to the Governor and Members of the Legislature, - we are pleased to submit our Second Progress Recort: "Conservation and Development of the National Resources: ▲ Program for Hewall." Not comparable in volume to the First Progress Report, the present report, inclusive of the fields and work covered in the nine other reports published during the biennium, however, presents certain general and some specific items of policy-forming recommendations based on inventorial research and study preparatory to the formulation of our major objective: the TERRITORIAL MASTER PLAN

We are fortunate in our planning, although five years behind in plenning on the State level, in being included in the National program of development and conservation of rational resources. In fect, our present report very much places us within the National family of States in, at least, the field of plenning. Our expression of gratitude goes at once sincerely and spontaneously to Mr. V. E. Stanbery, Counselor of Region 8 of the NATIONAL RESOURCES FLANKING BOARD, for having guided our contribution toward the National goal of coordination of planning objectives in a treatment of the initial steps necessary in this realization.

Supplementary to this general presentation of policy-forming objectives, are certain more specific recommendations which have been reached through the medium of your very active deliberations of sixty-four meetings held to date in the four counties.

Firstly, in view of our "infancy" two years ago and the fact that there was little time to present end consider recommendations in the Board's Letter to the Governor and Members of the Legislature of the First Progress Report and that appropriati ons are now always properly considered and reconsidered in light of the economic circumstances, those recommendations (remaining) are here repeated as "old business" for future reference es economic conditions permit:

"2. That pursuant to the aims set forth in the report of the Special Comittee of the Land Planning Committee
(a) The Planning Board keenly feels the need for a comprehensive and properly financed program of forestation
and that the necessary revenue for its support be raised under some means if practicable, directly in
line with the benefit received. As this cuestion is one which involves so much of general public policy,
it is our recommendation that the question be referred to a Hold-Over Legislative Committee of the coming
Legislature for further study end consideration with us during the next biennium.

(b) An appropriation be made to employ adequate expert lator so that a classification may be made at the earliest
possible date of all lands within the Territory to determine the highest use to which they may be put;

this classification to be kept up to date with changes in land uses."

Secondly, the recommendation No. 3 of the First Progress Report is repeated with such modification as added research end study have made possible and necessary in the form of an accompanying "Report (Publication No. 10) on the Executive-Legislative Quarters in Relation to the Honolulu Civic Center." The recommendation includes a five-biennium provision for the acquisition of approximately 21 acres of land at the rate of 3400,000 per biennium with a sub-provision for the financing of a final Civic Center Plan Competition to include the design of the Executive-Legislative Quarters as a first step in the expansion of the Territorial Capitol Grounds.

Thirdly, in "Lands for Our Public Schools: An Integral Part of the Territorial Master Plan" (Publication No. 6) is presented the recommendation that the Counties appropriate funds based on a 5-biennium program of acquisition by priority of lands for school sites at the rate of a total for all counties of $300,000 per biennium. Recommended also in this connection is the important provision for the employment of a territorial Educator-Planner by the Department of Public Instruction.

Fourthly, in accordance with our best mainland town-planning practice, it is recommended in Publications Nos. 7, 8 and 9, Hester Plans of the Towns of Hanapepe and Kapaa and the City of Hilo, that the Legislature approve (not adopt) these Master Plans for effectuation of the authoritativeness that has been implied in this legislative provision to enable the County Boards of Supervisors to select those items of the respective Master Plans to adopt as component elements of their respective Official Mrs. For a program of work to be covered during the coming biennium (1941-43), I submit the following:

1. Completion, if not effected by the end of the current biennium, of the Park, Parkway end Recreational-Area Study:
An Integral Part of the Territorial Master Flan (in collaboration with the National Park Service);

f. Fublic Works Inventory: An Integral Part of the Territorial Master Plan (in accordance with the program of the
National Resources Planning Board);

3. Report on the Territorial Penal and Corrective Institutions: An Integral Part of the Territorial Kaster Flan;
4. Assistance in organization of County Planning Commissions to work on other new Town and Village Master Plans
(along lines of organization and intent of our Town-Planning Collaborating Committees improvised for similar
plans for Hanapepe, Kapua end Hilo) and including general rural planning;

5. Human Factors and Resources of the Territory of Hawaii: An Integral Part of the Territorial Master Plan (by
the Human Resources Committee in accordance with the outline submitted in Appendix B).

Appendix A presents our rough draft of a County Planning-Zoning Enabling Act for suggested enactment by the Legislature. In this connection four points require statement to explain the incorporation of the item in this report:

1. The question of need of an Enabling Act for County planning in the Territory has completely disappeared in the estimate of the writer in study and comparison with provisions of the various States, the Legislatures of all of which have conferred upon the various counties and municipalities engaged in planning the power to plan and to pass zoning ordinances. The police power, providing for health, safety and the general welfare, does not in either case provide for many of the social amenities found necessary to care for among the many phases of the public welfare including such formerly-questioned provisions as the stabilization of land values, esthetic considerations, etc.
