Angel Pilago, Chair <br /> Council Committee on Planning <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> <br /> Dear Honorable Pilago: <br /> Subject: Bill No. 299 -Seascape Development. LLC <br /> The subject matter was postponed to the August 22, 2006 meeting to enable the <br /> Planning Director the opportunity to explain the amendment. During the course of the <br /> <br /> public testimony on this matter, there were comments made relative to the land <br /> <br /> ownership and burial on the subject area. <br /> As the applicant's agent at the meeting, I noted no recollection of a burial and that <br /> <br /> the site was already under construction, with an approved grading pernut from the State <br /> <br /> Department of Land and Natural Resources -Historic Preservation Division (DLNR- <br /> HPD). Please note that I subsequently teamed that there was an inadvertent find during <br /> the site improvement phase of this project, and appropriate mitigative measures were <br /> exercised by the contractor and developer. in that regard, please find enclosed the <br /> following documents: <br /> a. A Preliminary Title Insurance Report, issued May 25, 2006, noting that <br /> the property is owned by Seascape Development, LLC; and <br /> b. Archaeological and burial related documents. Specifically, these include <br /> the Archaeological Inventory Survey, dated August 2000; the letters of <br /> review and/or approval, dated Apri123, 2003, and August 8, 2003, from <br /> the State DLNR-HPD; Archaeological Mitigation Plan, dated June 2004; <br /> DLNR-HPD letter of approval of the Mitigation Plan, dated March 11, <br /> 2005; and letter from the archaeologist to the DLNR-HPD, dated January <br /> 23, 2006, regarding the inadvertent fmd and approved relocation program. <br /> I trust that these documents adequately address the comments made by the public. <br /> <br /> If not or if there are further questions on this matter, please feel free to contact me prior <br /> <br />
