Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, f:: ~
'The following North Kohala community associations, Kohala Hawaiian Civic Club, Kohala ' 1~ i
Filipino Club, Kohala Puerto Rican Club, and the Kohala Historic and Cultural Preservation
Group, would like to take this opportunity to express our concerns regarding the update of the
Hawau County General Plan. We are very concerned about the future land use in Kohala and
want to make sure that the County hears our voice. We want the County to protect our valuable
agYicultural .land and lifestyle, recognize and protect our historical resources and sites, preserve
our access to our coastline and mountains, and protect Kohala from encroaching and
inappropriate development.
l) We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Hawaii General Plan, and want to see our
suggestions included in the final updated Plan. We want stronger and more specific language
in the Plan that addresses our concerns more clearly than the preliminary drafts. Our
suggestions are included as Attachment A.
2) We want to remind you that in 19118 the Hawaii Senate passed Resolution S.C.R. No. 179
"Urging the Retention of View and Open Space makai of Kawaihae-Mahukona-Hawi Road
from Kawaihae to Upolu Point, Hawaii" which resolved that the State and County
governments work in close collaboration to discourage subdivision and building development
makai of the Kawailtae-Mahukona-Hawi Road. This was also passed by the House. It is an
important precedent to recall and respect regarding the protection of the Kohala coastline.
The Planning Committee of the Hawaii County Council passed a resolution (June 14, 1959)
calling for preservation of the North Kohala coastline. See Attachment B.
Obviously the County and State have overlooked this in allowing development to occur north
of Kawaihae on the makai side of flee road, i.e. the subdivision across from Kohala by the
Sea
We do not want to see this trend continue!
3) We also want to see the puus in North Kohala preserved. We are aware that a study was done
which proposed the reclassification for the Puus in North Kohala from the Agricultural
District to the Conservation District. The Puus meet the criteria for Conservation Districts
contained in Section 205-2(e) of the Hawaii Revised Statues. The proposed reclassification
would impact favorably the areas of statewide concern set forth under Section 205-17, HRS,
Preservation or Maintenance of Important Natural Systems or Habitats, and Maintenance of
valued Cultural, Historical, or Natural Resources. See Attachment C.
4) We recognize the fragile ecological nature of Pololu Valley and request that the County
protect it, and that it be removed from commercial activity. Our community voiced its
concern about this at the Na Ala Hele meeting on January 11, 2001. We support Na Ala
file 3~Tss.
l~l. ~o:
Hele's request to the~LNR to permanently remove Pololu Valley from commercial activity.
See Attachment D.
5) ilVe want alI prospective buyers to be aware of the unique land laws that affect Hawaiian land.
~JVe want the County to require all real estate agents to disclose this to the buyer at time of
sale. Vie also strongly urge at the tixYae of sale that an impartial assessment be conducted
which includes a cultural alysis which determines the impact of any proposed roads,
landscaping, and building upon cultural artifacts and practices. We want an impartial
environmental assessment to look at the impact on flora, fauna and watersheds. O~Ve want the
public right of access to the ocean and mountains (ffiauka-makai access) to be maintained.
See Attachment E.
6) We are re-submitting the Kohala Community Petition on Historic and Cultural Preservation
to you. It was submitted as our community comments to the General Plan Update on October
30, 20€2: Vie are re-submitting this to the new administration to be sure that you are all aware
of our concerns. In a period of only 16 days we collected approximately 636 signatures,
including a Iarge number of our senior citizens. This petition urges the County to take active
measures to recognize, preserve and protect the historical, traditional and sacred sites and
places of Kohala, which extend frown Kaiwaihae to Pololu Valley. Our petition includes
specific language and measures that we would like to see implemented in the Hawaii County
General Plan. See Attachment F.
We are expressing the concerns of the several community groups and citizens of North
Kohala. V6~e believe that other groups and people in our community share like concerns, but
eve did not have enough time to contact all of them. ~Ie have contacted other groups in the
community, and are waiting for them to get back to us.
Thank you for listening to the voices of North Kohala! ,

Goals, Policy and Standards:
I-I. I-lousing
Policies: Line 5-The county shall study and implement appropriate
measures to c~:trb property speculative practices which result in
increased housingcost.
Agriculture:
Goal: Identify, protect and maintain important agriculture lands on the
island of l-lawaii'.
Policies:
Line 1 -Zoning shall protect and maintain important a ricultural lands from
non-agricultural encroachment. New approaches to preserve important I
agricultural land shall be implemented by the county.
The following contradict the 2 above statements:
M. Land Use:
Policies:
Line Incorporate Floatione for future industrial and retreat resort
areas, to allow flexibility in locating future needed developments which
cannot be pinpointed at this time, especially in the more rural and/or
remote areas.
Line 8: Conduct a review and reevaluation of the zoning code in light of
emerging new Industries and technologies and incorporate revisions to
these documents as necessary or as mandated.
'The conversion of agricultural lands to non-agricultural uses is
evident in the growing popularity of "condominiumizing' agricultural
lands, which allows for the individual ownership of multiple
structures on a individual parcel of land. This process has gained in
popularity over~"'~ ~~ears since it allows for the separate ownership of
multiple dwellings~an single parcel of land, but without the expense
of subdividing. the ownership parcel into individual Lots. In many
instances, this process creates an illusion of separate ownership of
portions of a single parcel for the owners of these multiple
dwellings. The process of condominiumizing Agricultural-designated
lands can create conflicts with State and County land use laws that
seek to optimize the agricultural use of these lands. Multiple
ownership of a single parcel of land may result in a fragmented
2/2/2001
approach to its intended use for agricultural purposes as each owner
stakes a claim to a smaller portion of the parcel instead of
maximizing the agricultural potential of the entire parcel. Recent
changes in the State condominium law requires proposed condominiums
to comply with County zoning laws. ~-Iowever, the County does not
believe that this revision to the State condominium law will have
much effect since it is the very function of condominiumizing
agricultural lands that is creating
conflicts with the County zoning laws.
205-6 Special Permit. 'The County planning commission may permit
certain unusual and reasonable uses within agricultural and rural
districts other than those for which the district is classified. Any
person who desires to us e the person's land within an agricultural
or rural district other than for an agricultural or rural use, as the
case may be, may petition the planning commission of the county
within which the person s land is located for permission to use the
person's land in the manner desired. Each county may establish the
appropriate fee for processing the special permit petition.
Special permits for land the area of which is greater than fifteen acres shall be
subject to app~°oval by the land use commission. 'The land use commission
may impose additional restrictions as may be necessary or appropriate in
granting such approval, including the adherence to representations made by
the applicant.

45. Puus -North Kohala
°There are I3 puus in the North Kohala district whose resources merit
placing them in the Conservation District. They are Puu Kehoni, Puu Ufa,
Puu Mauro, Puu Hue, Puu Kehena, Puu Lahikiola, Puu Lepo, Puu Aiea,
Waiakanonula, Ahunoa, Fuu Iki, Puu Uau, and Puu Pili.
The proposed reclassification of the Puus in North Kohala from the
Agricultural District to the Conservation District meets the criteria for
Conservation Districts contained in Section 205-2(e), HRS: Conservation
_m districts shall include areas necessary for protecting watersheds and
water sources; preserving scenic areas; conserving indigenous or endemic
plants and wildlife, including those which are threatened or endangered;
preventing floods and soil erosion; open space areas whose existing
openness, natural condition, or present use, if retained, would enhance
the present or potential value of abutting or surrounding communities, or
would maintain or enhance the conservation of natural resources .
The proposed reclassification will impact favorably the following areas
of statewide concern set forth under Section 205-17, HRS, Preservation or
maintenance of important natural systems or habitats; and Maintenance of
valued cultural, historical, or natural resources.
The proposed land use district boundary amendment meets the following
standards for determining Conservation District boundaries contained in
the Hawaii Administrative Rules:
Section 15-15-20(4) The area includes lands necessary for the
conservation, preservation, and enhancement of scenic sites and sites
of unique physiographic or ecologic significance .
Section 15-15-20(5) The area includes lands necessary for providing
and conserving natural ecosystems of endemic plants and wildlife; for
forestry .
Section IS-15-20(7) The area includes lands with topography, soils,
climate, or other related environmental factors that may not be
normally adaptable or presently needed for urban, rural, or
agricultural use .
The area has been identified as having low, medium and high concentrations
a` of plant taxa listed or under review for endangered or threatened status,
according to the Threatened and Endan Bred Plant Fire Ma , DLNR. Due to
the puus' volcanic composition, foliage coverage an shape, there is
Tittle surface runoff and they act as water recharge areas by channeling
water directly to the underground aquifer.
The proposed reclassification conforms to the objectives and policies of
the Hawaii State Plan for the physical environment, Section 22b-11, 12 and
13, HRS, including but not limited to, seeking effective protection of
Hawaii's unique and fragile environmental resources, encouraging the
protection of rare or endangered plant and animal species and habitats
native to Hawaii, exercising an overall conservation ethic in the use of
-331-
Hawaii's natural resources, and promoting the preservation of views and
vistas to enhance the visual and aesthetic enjoyment of mountains, ocean,
scenic landscapes, and other natural features.
The proposed reclassification conforms to the Priority Guidelines for
population growth and land resources, Section 226-104, HRS, including but
not limited to, restricting development when drafting of water would
result in exceeding the sustainable yield or in significantly diminishing
the recharge capacity of any groundwater area, identifying critical
environmental areas in Hawaii to include but not be limited to the
following: watershed and recharge areas; wildlife habitats; areas with
endangered species of plants and wildlife; natural streams and water
bodies; scenic and recreational shoreline resources; open space and
natural areas; historic and cultural sites; areas particularly sensitive
to reduction in water and air quality; and scenic resources. Utilizing
Hawaii's limited land resources wisely; providing adequate land to
accommodate projected population and economic growth needs while ensuring
the protection of the environment and the availability of the shoreline
and other limited resources for future generations.

II. PUBLIC TESTIMONY/NEW BUSINESS
Michael Isaacs and Burt Aldert of the Kohala Historic and Cultural Preservation Group requested
of the council and staff to provide background information on the commercial use of the Pololu
Trail. They indicated that Hawaii Forest and Trails were exceeding the limit of use indicated in their
permit and of excessive amounts of manure on the trail. This information on excessive amounts of
manure was corroborated by Michael Varney. Staff indicated that previous discussions were held
with the vendor and they indicated in a letter dated January 8, 2001, that they will no longer utilize
the Pololu Trail for any commercial operation, effective Febru 28, 20Q:1..:~~~``>~~` ~:1'

III. UNFINISHED BUSINESS/CO1yI1VIITTEE REPORTS
A. Guidelines and Administrative Procedures for Na Ala Hele - Councilmember Debbie
Chang revealed some of the issues that surfaced as a result of her meeting with
councilmember Nancy Pisicchio: 1) A suspicion that not all the trails and roads affected by
land use action are being referred for review. 2) A need to list all land use applications
(State and County) which would trigger a referral to Na Ala Hele. 3) Clear guidelines on
how the various historic trails and old government roads will be handled. 4) At the
beginning of each calendar year, benchmarks be established by the council as goals to be
achieved. 5) Activities that could be undertaken by the council that would be helpful to the
program. An example wo~ild be to conduct ir_snections of various trails outside the
immediate area of concern of staff. 6) How would a councilmember represent his or her
constituency. 7) Guidelines for attendance and non-attendance of the monthly council
meetings. In summary, the basic goal was how to get program trails open, how to improve
as a council and increasing the predictability and consistency in which trails of various types
are treated.
B. Na Ala Hele Update
1. DLNR and Na Ala Hele have been named in a lawsuit that we improperly allowed
defendant Oceanside 1250 to damage and destroy sections of the ala loa. Afield
trip was conducted on December 14, 2000, at the request of Deputy Attorney
General Linden Joesting.
2. We have a letter from Hawaii Forest and Trails indicating they will be ceasing
commercial operations on the Pololu Trail on February 28, 2001. We also
indicated ou.r desire to remove the Pololu Trail from the commercial list.
3. Na Ala Hele was successful in getting FEIVIA funding for damages incurred by
flooding in November, 2000.
Ainapo Road $72,725
O'okala Road 6,965
4. Staff attended meeting on December 2, 2000, with Waipio valley farmers and
various commercial operators to attempt to resolve some of the problems in the
valley. Senator Lorraine Inouye attended the meeting.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. The next Na Ala Hele Advisory Council meeting is
scheduled for February 13, 2001, at the Kamuela State Tree Nursery, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
PROSPECTIVE suYER r1vFORMaTIOrI
I. History of land laws and Hawaiian culture
Hawaiians did not own property. There was no basis for property rights since
the Ali'I held the land in trust for the people in common. In 1848 the Great
Mahele occurred ~~ahen it was determined that unless Hawaii recognized
property rights, it had nothing with which to trade. Subsequently, Hawaiians
became odv-ners of land. There is much dispute on the fairness of the Caveat
Mahele but th.Tough that process Hawaiian native tenants were granted land in
fee simple.
Difficulty in owning land was compounded by stewardship/ownership of
parcels that were divided into pie shapes from the mountain to the sea in
ancient times. These parcels of land were known as ahupua'a. Throughout
the islands there were also a series of trails that went horizontally and
vertically through each ahupua'a. This system is known as the Alaloa.
English common law provides that all roadways are owned by the King or
Ali'i. This remains true in I-Iawai'i. Certain laws have reinforced the rihts of
people to traverse ancient trails and current roads to worship and gather
according to their culture.
Hawaii's history is different from any other star in the United State's flag.
January 17, 1893 American businessmen organized an armed militia and
launched a coup d'etat with support of the U.S. military forces anchored in
Honolulu Harbor. The plotters sought annexation by the U. S., but President
Grover Cleveland ,citing violations of treaties of friendship with the Kirfgdon~
of Hawai'I, ordered them to restore Queen Lili'uokalani to her throne.
Instead, the coup leaders declared a Republic of Hawai'I in 1894 and
confiscated Crown Lands and Hawaiian Government Lands, taking much of
the land themselves and offering the rest of the land to the U. S. Governvrient
in exchange for annexation. The U. S. Senate never achieved the two-thirds
majority vote required for annexation. In 1898 a joint Congressional
resolution made Hawai'I a U.S. territory.
Much of the law related to land in Hawai'I is based on cultural practices. The
definition of this is best left up to attorneys but definition through case law
shows that at least it encompasses hunting, gathering, fishing and worship.
II. Laws
A. Kuleana Act of 1850 -August 6, 1850 the legislature of rIawai'I enacted a
statute, now known as the Kuleana Act, which was designed to insuc and
provide the tenant farmers residing within an ahupua'a the opportunity to
obtain fee simple title to the lands upon which they resided and cultivated
their crops. Over the years every section of the Kuleana Act was repealed
with the exception of section 7, which survives today in the form of
I-Iawai' I Revised Statutes, section?-1:
~JVhere the landlords have obtained, or may hereafter obtain allodial tales
to their lands, the people on each of their lands shall not be deprived of the
right to take firewood, house timber, aho cord, thatch, or ki leaf, from the
land on which they live, for their own private use, but they shall not have a
right to take such articles to sell for profit. The people shall also have a
right to drinking water, and running water, and the right of way. The
springs of water, running water, and roads shall be free to all, on all Sands
granted in fee simple; provided that this shall not be applicable to wells
and watercourses, which individuals have made for their own use.
The legislative history of-the Kuleana Act indicates that this particular
section was included at the insistence of King Kamehameha III. The privy
council minutes re#lect the king's concern that a "little bit of land even
with allodial title, if-they (the people) be cut off from all other privileges
would be of very little value." The privy council thus adopted the king's
suggestion:
(The) proposition of the King, which he inserted as the seventh clause of
the law, as a rule for the claims of common people to go to the mountains,
.and the seas attached to their own particular lands exclusively, is
agreed...."
Therefore, the Kuleana Act provided native tenants a statutory right of
access to their kuleana, as well as unobstructed access within the ah~:pua'a
to obtain items necessary to make the kueana productive. Subsequent
common law defines custom, implied dedication of public right-of-way,
and public trust doctrine.
Highway Act of 1892
Hawai'I Revised Statute, chapter 264, section I, formerly known as the
Ilighways Act of 1892, was amended in 1988 to specifically define public
trails within the state. Section 264-1(b) provides:
All trails, and other nonvehicular rights-of--way in the State declared to be
public rights-of--ways, by the highways act of 1892, or opened, laid gut, or
built by the government or otherwise created or vested as nonvehicular
public rights-of--way at any time thereafter, or in the future, are declared to
•
be public trails. A public trail is under the jurisdiction of the state board of
land and natural resources unless it was created by or dedicated to a
particular county, in which case it shall be under the jurisdiction of that
county.
C. 1978 1-Iawaii State Constitution
In November 1978, I-Iawai'i's State Constitution was amended by ~,~oters.
Among the sections approved was Article XII, section 7:
The State reaffirms and shall protect all rights, customarily and
traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural and religious purposes and
possessed by ahupua'a tenants who are descendants of native I-Iawaiians
who inhabited the I-lawaiian Islands prior to 1778, subject to the right of
the State to regulate such rights.
D. PASI~I Caselaw decision
The I-Iawai'I Supreme Court issued a decision on Public Access Shoreline
I-Iawai'I (PASI-I). ~Iith this decision tlae right to traverse land for cultural
purposes and gathering was more clearly defined. Further case law rill
have to define exactly who is allowed onto land to gather, and what. routes
they may take. There are many unanswered questions involving pu'~lic
right of way/access.
E. Conservation District under DLNR
Under I'iawai'I Admisnistrative IZules, Title 13, Department of Land and
Natural resources the conservation district has various restrictions on
activity on the land within the conservation district. These involve
grubbing the land, destruction of ancient trails andJor cultural artifacts,
building permanent structures and developing in any manner. The
definition of conservation does include the shoreline area. The definition
for public right of way along the shoreline uses the term extreme high tide.
There are five subzones-that have different permissible activities and
levels of activity. All of these subzones need various approvals from the
authorities for some activities.
F. April 26, 2000 -Act 50 -Environmental Impact Statements
April 26, 2000 the legislature enacted legislation (effective upon approval)
that would make it maaadatory to include cultural impact along with
environmental impact statements.
The purpose of the Act is to:
(1) Require that environmental impact statements include the disclosure of
the effects of a proposed action on the cultural practices of the
community and State; and
(2) Amend the definition of "significant effect" to include adverse effects
on cultural practices.
The legislature went on to define an environmental impact statement through
amendment of ITRS Section 343-2 to include "....effects of a proposed
action on the economic (and) welfare, social welfare, and cultural practices on
the community and State
III. Recommendations
Environmental Impact Statement -There are so many endangered flora and
fauna in the state of I-Iawaii that it would always be wise to conduct an
impartial environmental impact assessment on questionable land. Any land
on a waterway or the ocean is suspect. With the hoary bat, birds, monk seals,
sea turtles, and numerous plants being endangered it is very wise to be
complete in this analysis. 'T'here are benchmarks on ocean water quality in the
state. The state hydrologist may be able to assist those wanting to develop
near the conservation district and shoreline.
Cultural analysis should be done to determine the impact any development
such as roadways, landscaping, and building might have on cultural artifacts
and practices. There are organizations to help in determining the efficacy of
building or working the land in anon-detrimental manner. Many of these will
assist prospective property buyers free of charge.
Quieting title and determining that the land is free of any problems would be
conducted with an attorney. Our island has several property attorneys and
there are others on Oahu. If one wishes to do part of this themselves, the
bureau of Land Conveyances might be able to help.
Ee mindful that there are public rights of way that exist on many ocean
parcels of land. There are public access rights to the ocean and shoreline.
There is also the ancient trail system. Qualified, impartial archeologists are
capable of giving information on ancient trails and cultural artifacts. Se
cautious to get an accurate analysis. If you are in doubt, contact the
University of Ilawaii.
Don't settle for what they want you to hear. Make certain that you have good
data from all professionals.

FliOlO~d: The Kohala Historic and Cultural Preservation Group
and the residents of Kohala
RE: Community input into the Update of the Hawaii County
Comprehensive Plan, October, 2000
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to express our concerns and views
regarding the future of our beautiful aina in Kohala. In response to the request
for public comments on the proposed General Plan Revisions, we have prepared
this brief statement regarding the preservation of the history and culture of
Kohala. Mahalo for listening and taking the steps to malama this aina.
The Kohala Historic and Cultural Preservation Group and residents of Kohala
respectfully submit the following concerns to the County of Hawaii regarding
the update of the County General Plan:
dVe, the undersigned, urge the County of Hawaii to recognize, preserve and
protect the historical, traditional and sacred sites and places of Kohala,
which extend fron3l[~awaihae to Pololu Valley and beyond, including
especially the pristine valleys from Pololu to ~'Vaipio. ~Ve strongly feet that
the lands of this area, which contain the birthplace of King Kamehanaeha,
the burial sites of ~aative Hawaiian ancestors, ancient JllCawaiian villages and
lo'i must be respected and protected from encroaching or inappropriate
land uses or development. ;[n addition, we seek to preserve the history and
artifacts of the nflissionary, paniolo, and plantation era, which contribute to
the rich and ethnically diverse history of this districto VVe seek to maintain
the beautiful rural and agricultural character of Kohala, and to maintain
the quality and character of our small rural cognYnunities and encourage
and nurture the tradition of cultural continuity.
dVe speci~ecally request that the County General Plan Update, within its
descriptive text, goals, and policies include the following:
1) A thorough description and acknowledgement of the valuable historic
resources, character, sites, and sacred places located throughout the
Kohala district (both North and South Kohala). This shall include the
many sites of 1`Iawaiian villages, lo'lC, heiau, and fishing places used by
King Kameha~neha, as well as the cultural continuity of use to present
day. Also acknowledge the historical influx of many different ethnic
groups and their contribution to this area.
2) The County will work with the communities and residents of Kohala to
create an accurate and comprehensive inventory of historically
significant sites, structures and places. (The General Plan lists less than
a doyen historic sites for Kohala, despite the fact that several hun.l~red
have been identified by local residents.)
3) The County will work with the coan~nunities and residents of Kohala to
collect the oral history of the historic sites, structures, and places
located throughout Kohala.
The County will work with the communities and residents of Kohala to
ensure that land uses or development do not infringe upon historically
significant sites, structures or places or disrupt the cultural continuity of
use of these places. (This may be achieved through the adoption of
several aneasures such as creating a coffiaprehensive inventory of
significant Distoric and cultural Sites, structures and places, creating a
historic Conservation ®verlay zone; creating a historic and Cultural
Preservation Review hoard (at both the County and coanmunity level} to
review all development proposals to ensure that they do not advea-sely
affect cultural continuity, traditions, or the historic character of
Kohala.)
5) The County will work with communities and residents of Kohala to
ensure that access to historic sites and traditional places used by local
residents will be protected and their right to access will be secured and
Bnaintained. {T1sc of locked gates acts against access.)
6) The County will work with the communities and residents of Kohala to
ensure that sites and places deemed sacred, traditional, or historic to
the Hawaiian culture will not be econoa~nically or comnnercially
exploited.
7) The County shall mvork with the communities and residents of Kohala to
create educational opportunities, to serve both local residents and
communities as well as visitors, to provide greater awareness and
appreciation of the history and cultural significance of this area.
8) The County will work with residents and communities to preserve the
rural and agricultural character and pristine quality of this district.
