Notes:  Maui County 2007 Update Documentation - provided by Maui county:

2007 MAUI COUNTY ONLY: DIGITAL STATE FILE WAS CLIPPED TO
            EACH INDIVIDUAL ISLAND WITHIN MAUI COUNTY. 
            THESE SHAPEFILES  WERE REPROJECTED TO NAD 83 
            STATE PLANEZONE 2 (METERS). 
            ARCVIEW 3.3 WAS USED TO EDIT THE MAUI ISLAND SMA
            SHAPEFILE.          
            IN 2001 THE MAUI PLANNING COMMISSION MADE A DETERMINATION
            REGARDING THE SMA WITHIN THE HANA COMMUNITY PLAN REGION.  
            THE DETERMINATION WAS THAT WITHIN THAT REGION ONLY, 
            WHERE THE SMA BOUNDARY FELL IN THE CENTER OR ON THE MAKAI EDGE
            OF THE HANA HWY., THE BOUNDARY WOULD BE THE MAUKA EDGE OF
            THE HANA HWY RIGHT OF WAY.
            THERE WOULD BE AREAS WHERE THE BOUNDARY WOULD STILL BE MAUKA
            OF THE ROADWAY AND THERE WOULD BE AREAS 
            WHERE THE BOUNDARY WOULD STILL BE MAKAI OF THE ROADWAY. 
            THE REASON FOR THIS DETERMINATION WAS DUE TO THE CONFUSION 
            OVER WHERE THE SMA BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED IN RELATION TO 
            THE HISTORICAL BRIDGES WITHIN THE REGION.  
            USING THIS DETERMINATION THE COUNTY OF MAUI GIS DIVISION
            ADJUSTED THE BOUNDARY ACCORDINGLY.
            ALSO DURING THIS TIME AND THROUGH OCTOBER 2005, 
            THE COUNTY OF MAUI GIS DIVISION PARTICIPATED IN A PROJECT TO
            DEVELOP A DIGITAL LAND USE BASE.  
            DURING THE COURSE OF THIS WORK THE SMA BOUNDARY WAS EDITED 
            COMPARING THE LINEWORK FROM THE ORIGINAL SPECIAL MANAGEMENT
            AREA MYLAR MAPS TO THE DIGITAL COUNTERPARTS.  
            WHERE NO CLEAR INFOMATION EXISTS AS TO THE ACTUAL GROUND
            LOCATION OF THE SMA THE LINE WAS LEFT INTACT.  
            WHERE THE LINE CLEARLY ABUTTED A ROAD OR OTHER FEATURE, THE
            LINE WAS ADJUSTED TO ALIGN WITH THAT FEATURE.
