Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: State Land Use Boundary Amendment Application (SLU 97-2) Request: Agricultural to Rural Change of Zone Application (REZ 97-13) Request: A-Sa to CN-7.5 and RA-.5 Applicant: William and Patricia Bergin Tax Mag~gy~ 6-4-I.92 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on December 4, 1997, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bills for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from an Agricultural to Rural District for approximately 1.632 acres of land and a Change of Zone changing the district classification from Agricultural (A-5a) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN-7.5) and Residential and Agricultural (RA-.Sa) for approximately 2.839 acres of land. The property is located on the north side of Mamalahoa Highway across of Waimea Town Plaza and approximately 300 feet east of Kamamalu Street, Puukapu Homesteads, Puukapu, South Kohala, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment and Change of Zone: Ctate Land Use Bo~ndarv Amendment The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Rural District will not be violative of Section 205-2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will it be inconsistent with the Land Use Commission Rules, the County Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 General Plan and the Hawaii State Plan. According to the Hawaii Land Use Commission Rules, the following three standards shall apply when determining an area for the Rural district boundaries: (1) Areas consisting of small farms; provided that the areas need not be included in this district if their inclusion will alter the general characteristics of the areas; (2) Activities or uses as characterized by low-density residential lots of not less than one-half acre and a density of not more than one single-family dwelling, per one-half acre in areas where "city-like" concentration of people, structures, streets, and urban level of services are absent, and where small farms are intermixed with the low-density residential lots; and (3) Generally, parcels of land not more than five acres; provided it may include other parcels of land which are surrounded by, or contiguous to this district, and are not suited to low-density residential uses for small farm or agricultural uses. Lands to the north and east are zoned Agricultural-Sa. Lands to the south and west are zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN-7.5). Surrounding land uses include various single-family residential, commercial and agricultural uses. Section 15-IS-27 of the Hawaii Land Use Commission Rules determines the Permissible uses within the Rural district. This states: ' (a) Permissible uses within the rural district shall include the following activities: (1) All uses permitted under section 15-15-25 relating to agricultural uses and those uses that are compatible within the agricultural district; (2) Low-density residential uses with a minimum lot size of one-half acre. The commission for good cause may allow one lot of less than one-half acre, but not less than 18,500 square feet, or an equivalent residential density, provided all other lots in the subdivision have the minimum lot size of one-half acre. A petition for variance may be processed under the special permit procedure pursuant to subchapter 12. This exception shall apply to lots of record existing prior to January 1, 1977, and of not more than two acres. There shall be no more than one single-family dwelling per one-half acre, except as may be provided for in this section." The proposed boundary amendment is for similar agricultural land uses and uses that are compatible to the Rural designation. The applicants have stated that the rear 1.632 acres will be subdivided into three 1/2 acre rural/residential lots. Thus, the requested boundary amendment would be in the direction of fulfilling the permissible uses of the rural designation. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The proposed change of zone request would be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Land use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. It is also intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall Land Use goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. These state the following: LAND USE * Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. * Zone urban- and rural- types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. * Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and use of urban and rural areas which are serviced by basic community facilities and utilities. * Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. * The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. HOUSING * Attain safe, sanitary, and livable housing for the residents of the County of Hawaii. * Attain a diversity of socio-economic housing mix throughout the different parts of the County. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 * Maintain a housing supply which allows a variety of choice. * Develop better places to live in Hawaii County by creating viable communities with decent housing and suitable living environments for our people. * Improve and maintain the quality and affordability of the existing housing stock. * Seek sufficient production of new affordable rental and fee-simple housing in the County in a variety of sizes to satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals. * Ensure that housing is available to all persons regardless of age, sex, marital status, ethnic background, and income. * The County shall encourage a volume of construction and rehabilitation of housing sufficient to meet growth needs and correct existing deficiencies. * The County shall protect residential property values from depreciating influences. SING=L.E-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL * To maximize choices of single-family residential lots and/or housing for residents of the County. * To ensure compatible uses within and adjacent to single-family residential zoned areas. * To provide single-family residential areas conveniently located to public and private services, shopping, other community activities and convenient access to employment centers. * The County shall incorporate reasonable flexibility in codes and ordinances to achieve a diversity of socio- economic housing mix and to permit aesthetic balance between single-family residential structures and open spaces. * Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small scale rural communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be encouraged in appropriate locations. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 * The County shall review and amend if necessary land use ordinances and codes to include considerations for rural-style residential subdivisions in appropriate locations. Standards and criteria for the establishment of these areas shall be developed. The proposed Rural boundary request also conforms to the LUPAG Map which designates the area for Medium Density Urban Development. Medium Density Urban Development refers to village and neighborhood commercial and residential and related functions with commercial permitted up to three stories and residential permitted up to 35 units per acre. The request is consistent with the medium density form depicted on the LUPAG Map for this area of South Kohala. This request would allow a rural development, Residential-Agricultural and commercial activities. The area under consideration is consistent with the rural form established for this section of the South Kohala District as depicted on the LUPAG Map. The subject property is located within the study area of the Waimea Design Plan. The land use concept map of the Waimea Design Plan recommends the urban (front) portion of the property for commercial uses. The land use concept plan has no land use recommendations for the rear portion of the subject property. Based on the above findings, including the General Plan's goals and policies, the granting of the rural boundary amendment would complement and implement the General Plan. All utilities and services are available to the property which are essential to accommodate rural development. Access to the subject property is off Mamalahoa Highway which has aright-of-way width of 60 feet with approximately 20 feet wide pavement. Water is provided by a 12-inch County water line which fronts the project site. Electrical service is available to the property from Hawaii Electric Light Co. Inc., and telephone service is available from GTE Hawaiian Tel. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The U.S. Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the property outside of the 500-year flood plain (Zone X). The Waikoloa Stream tributary flows along the northern boundary of the parcel; thus, all development pla~vs must delineate the limits of the flood zone. While the subject property is within the State Land Use Agricultural and County's Agricultural - Sa zoned districts, it is not currently being used for active agricultural purposes. The Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System has classified a portion of the subject property located within 100 to 200 feet of the Mamalahoa Highway as existing urban development. Immediately Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 6 mauka of the existing urban lands are "Prime" agricultural land and the remainder of the property is classified as "Other Important Agricultural lands." "Prime" agricultural lands have the soil quality, growing season and moisture supply needed to produce high sustained yields of crops economically when treated and managed according to modern farming methods. Soils within the subject property are classified as "B" (Good), portion fronting Mamalahoa Highway, and "C" (Fair), remainder of the property, for agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau. Although classified as "B" soils, the front 1.2 acres of the subject property are already situated within the State Land Use Urban district. The surrounding properties are also in the County's Neighborhood Commercial and Agricultural-Sa zoned districts and State Land Use Urban and Agricultural districts. Furthermore, a Rural classification would complement the existing and future residential-agricultural and commercial land use patterns of the surrounding properties in view of the surrounding properties and permissible uses. Finally, it should be noted that the reclassification action would also conform to the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan relating to Socio-cultural advancement -Housing objectives and policies: (a) Planning for the State's Socio-cultural advancement with regard to housing shall be directed towards achievement of the following objectives: (1) Greater opportunities for Hawaii's people to secure reasonably priced, safe, sanitary, livable homes located in suitable environments that satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals. (2) The orderly development of residential areas sensitive to community needs and other land uses. (b) To achieve the housing objectives, it shall be the policy of this State to: (1) Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawaii's people. (2) Stimulate and promote feasible approaches that increase housing choices for low-income, moderate-income and gap-group households. (3) Increase home ownership and rental opportunities and choices in terms of quality, location, cost, densities, style, and size of housing. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 7 (5) Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. (6) Foster a variety of lifestyles traditional to Hawaii through the design and maintenance of neighborhoods that reflect the cultures and values of the community. Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment to the Rural District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and is supportive of the State of Hawaii Plan and the County of Hawaii General Plan. Change of Zone Application [n order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole island. The proposed change of zone request would further the County's goals of providing an economic environment which allows new or existing businesses to expand and diversify the County's economic base, and thereby also increase the choice of occupations. The project's low-scale design makes it compatible with the surrounding environment with minimal social impact. The proposed request would be consistent with the following goals and policies of the Economic Element of the General Plan. Economic Element * Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life. * Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical and social environments of the island of Hawaii. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 8 * The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. * The County shall provide an economic environment which allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's natural and social environment. * The County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate which provides its residents an opportunity for choice of occupation. * The County of Hawaii shall encourage the development of a visitor industry which is consistent with the social, physical and economic goals of the residents of the County. The applicants' objective is to develop 1.2 acres for neighborhood commercial uses on the subject property. The proposed change of zone request would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element. Land use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. It is also intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall Land Use goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. These state the following: Land Use Element * Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. * Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. * Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 9 * The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. * Zoning request shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and public need. The applicants are also proposing to develop a 4-lot Residential-Agricultural subdivision in the rear portion of the subject property. The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies of the Commercial Element. Commercial Development * Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users. * Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities and neighborhoods. * Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. * Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of neighborhood, community and regional needs. * The development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit into the locale with minimal intrusion while providing the desired services. Appropriate infrastructure and design concerns shall be incorporated into the review of such developments. Additionally, in the General Plan, a Course of Action for commercial development within the South Kohala District recommends that "Appropriately located commercial zoned lands shall be allocated as the need arises." This request would be consistent with the urban form depicted for South Kohala in that it would add commercial uses serving the surrounding region in close proximity to other similar commercial zoned districts and activities. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 10 The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject property is designated Medium Density Urban Development. Medium Density Urban Development refers to village and neighborhood commercial and residential and related functions with commercial permitted up to three stories and residential permitted up to 35 units per acre. This proposed neighborhood commercial and residential/agricultural development will provide the framework of a concentration of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner commensurate with the provision of necessary infrastructure. Therefore, it is determined that the request is consistent with the medium density form depicted on the LUPAG Map for this area of South Kohala. The subject property is located in close proximity to schools, commercial areas, employment centers and public safety services. The subject area would provide continued and additional commercial services for the visitor industry, residents in the immediate vicinity, as well as for the rest of the residents of the island of Hawaii. The Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System has classified a portion of the subject property located within 100 to 200 feet of the Mamalahoa Highway as existing urban development. Immediately mauka of the existing urban lands are "Prime" agricultural land and the remainder of the property is classified as "Other Important Agricultural lands." "Prime" agricultural lands have the soil quality, growing season and moisture supply needed to produce high sustained yields of crops economically when treated and managed according to modern farming methods. Soils within the subject property are classified as "B" (Good), portion fronting Mamalahoa Highway, and "C" (Fair), remainder of the property, for agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau. Although classified as "B" soils, the front 1.2 acres of the subject property are already situated within the State Land Use Urban district. The surrounding properties are also in the County's Neighborhood Commercial and Agricultural-Sa zoned districts and State Land Use Urban and Agricultural districts. Existing access to the subject area is off Mamalahoa Highway which has a right-of-way width of 60 feet with 20 feet of pavement. According to the applicants, access to the proposed commercial area is directly off of Mamalahoa Highway, while access to the proposed three 1/2-acre lots is via an existing private road along the eastern boundary. The Department of Public Works states that a Traffic Impact Analysis Report be submitted and all accesses be possibly consolidated to the private r Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 11 road along the eastern side of the subject property. In addition, the entire frontage along Mamalahoa Highway should be improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement widening to four lanes, and any necessary transitions and striping, drainage improvements and relocation of utilities in conformance with the proposed Mamalahoa Highway Improvements. The Department of Public Works also stated that a left turn pocket or a double-left turn median may be required. These improvements shall be included as a condition of approval of the change of zone request. The subject property is located within an area adequately served with essential services and facilities such as water and other utilities. Water is available to the property through an existing 12 inch waterline fronting the property. According to the Department of Health, the property is situated within the Critical Wastewater Disposal Area; and therefore, the applicant would be required to dispose wastewater into septic tank system. Finally, because the subject property and surrounding areas have been extensively altered with urban development, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the subject property, nor has the area been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. In addition, it is also not anticipated that the proposed development will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources. The property is designated Zone X, an area determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. The Department of Public Works, Engineering Division has determined that the Waikoloa Stream tributary flows along the northern boundary of the parcel. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Agricultural-Sa to Neighborhood Commercial (CN-7.5) and Residential -Agricultural (RA-.Sa) zoned districts would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and welfare of the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-25 for the County of Hawaii, and Section 25-8-11, the Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. 6 Honorable James Y.

The rezoning applies to a 2.84-acre parcel currently zoned A-Sa (Agriculture, minimum lot size 5 acres) in the town of Waimea on the Island of Hawaii. The property fronts the Mamalahoa Highway (State Highway 19), and is bordered by residences, fazms and commercial property. The landowners are William and Patricia Bergin. The request is to reclassify/rezone 1.207 acres to State Land Use Urban, County zoning CN 7.5 (Neighborhood Commercial, minimum lot size 7,500 sf), and 1.632 acres to RA 0.5 (Residential, minimum lot size 0.5 acres). After the rezoning, subdivision into several commercial lots and four residential lots would be possible. Methodology Methodology included field survey and examination of published records related to the environmental conditions on the site. A field survey of the property was conducted on 14 January 1997. The primary objective was to determine whether any rare or endangered species, or habitat for such species, were present on the parcels. A secondary objective was to characterize the flora and fauna by 1) compiling a plant species list that would include the most common alien species and all native species encountered; 2) characterizing the general vegetation types present; and 3) assessing the quality of habitat for native fauna. A final objective was to identify any other sensitive environmental conditions or potential impacts. The length of the property was walked in zig-zag fashion four times. Over most of the property, survey involved intensive examination of representative sample areas. Records, maps and publications examined included the zoning maps, parcel maps and records, State Land Use District Maps, and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) maintained at the Hawaii County Planning and Public Works Departments. Published sources included the Atlas of Hawaii (2nd ed.), the Manual of Flowering Plants of Hawaii, the Rainfall Atlas of Hawaii, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographical map Kamuela (1:24,000 scale), the U.S. Soil Conservation Service's Soil Survey of Island of Hawaii, the USGS publication Volcanic and Seismic Hazards on the Island of Hawaii, and the 1990 U.S. Census of Population. The References section at the end of this report supplies full references for all published material. e - General Site Description Elevation is approximately 2,800 feet above mean sea level, with gentle slopes throughout the property. Annual rainfall is 40-45 inches. The soil in the half of the property nearest the highway is classified as Kikoni very fine sandy loam. This soil is characteristic of the plains around Waimea, and has formed from volcanic ash on moderate to flat slopes in areas of medium rainfall. The soil is appropriate for pasture, truck crops and wildlife habitat. Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is slight to moderate. The soil in the rear half of the property is Maile silt loam, also very common in Waimea. It is very similar to the Kikoni series, differing principally in the higher proportion of fines. The existing land use in the area proposed for rezoning is a mixture of residential, actively used pasture (eight calves were in the pasture at the time of the survey), and apparently less frequently grazed pasture near the back of property. Abandoned remnants of ranching, including fenceposts, troughs and waste piles, litter the property. Flora, Fauna and Ecosystems: Existing Conditions The original vegetation of the project area is difficult to determine because of the long history of both traditional Hawaiian and post-Western contact disturbance. Based on rainfall, wind patterns, and soil, the area probably occupied an ecotone between the Lowland Mesic Forest and the Lowland Dry Forest varieties (Gagne and Cuddihy 1990), but the region has been extensively modified by the introduction of Western flora and fauna and cattle grazing. Reconnaissance demonstrated that the entire parcel has been long affected by residential or grazing uses and has a long history of domination by various combinations of alien species. Aside from a residence and yard occupying less than 8,000 sf near the front, the property is basically a pasture of nearly pure stands of kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum). The pasture is infested to various degrees with minor amounts of weeds, including buddleia (Buddleia asiatica), vervain (Verbena bonariensisl, Spanish clover (Desmodium spp.), and castor bean (Ricinus communis). A number of eucalyptus (mainly Eucalyptus saligna) line the borders, with a few trees inside as well. Several patches of taro (Colocasia and Alocasia spp.) and a wild pumpkin (Cucurbita Deno) are found near the front. The only native observed was popolo (Solanum americanum, a presumed indigenous plant. No native fauna were observed on the site. It is quite possible that certain native forest birds, seabirds or migratory birds could utilize or fly over the site, but it is unlikely that any with threatened or endangered status would find the site suitable habitat or be affected by activities that occur on the parcel. The two Hawaiian raptors, the Hawaiian hawk or `io (Buteo solitariusl, and the Hawaiian owl or pueo (Asio flammeus sandwichensis), probably make some. use of the area. Although the Hawaiian hawk is an endangered species, the subject property is not considered to be part of its essential habitat. No hawk nests were observed on the site, although the scale of the survey was not exhaustive and there may be nests on or very near the property. Environmental Report for TMK 6-4-01-92 Page 2 S The only native Hawaiian land mammal, the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus ,may also be present in the area, as it is common in many areas on the island of Hawaii. Observation took place in daylight, and therefore the lack of bat observations may not signify an actual absence of bats. As with the hawk, however, the project area would not be expected to represent essential habitat for species. Alien bird species observed on the site during the reconnaissance were limited to the Japanese white-eye (Zosterops japonica), spotted dove (Streotppelia chinensis), and northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalisl. Feral cats (Felis catus), rats (Rattus spp.) and mice (Mus musculus domesticusl are also likely to inhabit or use the parcels. The entire back of the property is also a pasture for cows. Flora, Fauna and Ecosystems: Impacts and Mitigation Measures No rare, threatened or endangered species as listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are present on the parcel, nor are there unique or valuable wildlife habitats. In fact, only one native organism (the common indigenous plant popolo) was observed. The history of continuous disturbance (including decades of cattle grazing) coupled with its lowland context indicates that the property has very little value in terms of conserving native species. No impact on native species or habitat is expected to result from the rezoning or subsequent activities on the site. Drainage: Existing Conditions No permanent or intermittent streams appear on maps of the parcel, and no evidence of watercourses or gullies was present in the reconnaissance. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the area (Panel 168-D) classify the entire parcel and surrounding areas as Zone X, which is identified in the community flood insurance study as areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area. Drainage: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The parcel does not appear prone to flooding or likely to produce extraordinary quantities of runoff onto adjacent areas. For any property undergoing intensification of use, flooding can also be generated onsite because of an increase in runoff potential from rain falling on more impermeable surfaces. Mitigation for such impacts is achieved by engineering and building a system of gutters, storm drains, drywells and related structures to ensure that all runoff is contained on-site. This is a requirement of the County of Hawaii as part of rezoning, subdivision and plan approval, and it is expected that during the review process appropriate mitigation measures will be developed. Based on expected mitigation measures, no net impact to the applicant's or neighboring property or any areas downstream would result from the proposed project. Environmental Report for TMK 6-4-01-92 page 3 4 Lava Flow and Earthquake Hazards: Existing Conditions The entire Big Island is subject to geologic hazards, especially lava flows and earthquakes. The property's location on the extinct Kohala volcano leads to a low risk level: Lava Flow Hazard Zone 8 (on a scale of ascending risk 9 to 1). Zone 8 areas have been free of lava flows for the last 750 years and have had only a few percent covered during the last 10,000 years. The entire island of Hawaii is in Zone 3 on a scale of ascending risk I to 4 in the Seismic Probability Rating. Major damage corresponding to a score of 7 or above on the Modified Mercalli Scale is possible. Lava Flow and Earthquake Hazards: Impacts and Mitigation Measures No adverse impacts related to geological hazazds is expected to result directly or indirectly from the proposed rezoning. Air Quality and Noise: Existing Conditions Air quality in the project area is currently mostly affected by emissions from motor vehicles and natural sources. Volcanic emissions of sulfur dioxide convert into particulate sulfate which causes a volcanic haze (vog) to blanket the area during occasional episodes when trade winds are not present, although voggy conditions aze not usual on the wet side of Waimea. Motor vehicles on the Mamalahoa Highway and adjacent roads and homes emit CO, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons (an ozone precursor), as well as smaller amounts of other pollutants. Noise is generated on-site by residential and agricultural activities and off-site by similar activities and the Mamalahoa Highway. Noise levels are low on the site, particularly towards the back of the parcel. Air Quality and Noise: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed rezoning would result in a slightly greater density of commercial and residential activities and would thus generate additional air pollution and noise. The increases in both would be negligible in the context of the existing environment, and merit no special mitigation measures. Scenic Resources: Existing Conditions The scenic visual chazacter of Waimea is derived from a landscape of pastures greened by fog and rain and framed in the dramatic backdrop of the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea. The scenic views of Pu`u Iki, which lies directly mauka (north) of the subject property, aze specifically cited in the Hawaii County General Plan Support Document (p. 35) as an example of natural beauty worthy of preservation. Environmental Report for TMK 6-4-01-92 Page 4 4 Scenic Resources: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed rezoning is unlikely to adversely affect scenic views. The new lots proposed are within a residential area, and would be near existing homes from the point of view of the observer on or near Mamalahoa Highway. These areas are barely higher in elevation than the viewer on the highway, and therefore structures built on the property would not normally be interposed between viewers and the scenic, forested pu`u behind. However, scenic views should be considered during approval of building plans if any structures taller than two stories are planned for portion of the property near the highway. Socioeconomic.' Existing Conditions The following table presents recent and historic population data for Hawaii County, the South Kohala District, and Waimea. Resident Po ulation Trends 1960 1970 1980 1990 Hawaii Count 61,332 63,468 92,053 120,317 South Kohala 1,538 2,310 4,607 9,140 Waimea 300 756 1,179 5,972 Sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census: "1990 Census of Population General Population Characteristics," 1990 CP-I-13; Hawaii County Data Book. The population of South Kohala has grown steadily since 1965 as a result of the expanding visitor industry. The year 1965, when the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel opened and brought with it 775 jobs, inaugurated the era of large-scale resorts. By 1982 there were over a thousand jobs available at South Kohala resorts, a figure which grew to 4,000 by 1990 and to almost 5,000 by 1995 (Source: Hawaii County Department of Research and Development pubs., var. years). The trend continues until today. Between 1980 and 1990 the spectacular growth in the visitor plant in Kohala led to an equally large increase in visitors and therefore de facto population (the number of people who are actually present at any given time). South Kohala clearly has a large and growing share of the visitors to the island and consequently the de facto population. At any given time, up to one- fourth of those present in Kohala are visitors. De facto population is not recorded on a district by district basis. However, it can be very roughly approximated by multiplying the de-facto- minus-resident figure by the proportion of visitor accommodations present in a district, and then adding this to the district's population total. The results of estimating de facto population by this method are shown in the table below. Environmental Report for TMK 6-4-01-92 Page 5 s - De Facto Po ulation Trends AREA 1980 1990 Hawaii Count De Facto Po ulation 98,700 135,100 Kohala Avera e Dail Visitor Po ulation 545 4,507 Kohala De Facto Po ulation 8,401 17,938 Source: 1993 Hawaii County Data Book: Tables 2 and 106; Visi[or Plant Inventory 1993, Hawaii Visitors Bureau. Includes both Notch and South Kohala. The ethnic composition of Waimea at the time of the 1990 U. S. Census was as follows: Caucasian: 42.3 percent; Hawaiian: 31.0 percent; Japanese 12.6 percent; Filipino: 6.3 percent; Other: 7.8 percent. This distribution illustrates a multicultural community with no distinct minority groups (Source: U.S. Census Data: Table 6, "1990 Census of Population. General Population Characteristics," 1990 CP-1-13) Socioeconomic: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed improvements would lead to an addition of several new commercial sites and three residences. The magnitude of this addition is inconsequential in terms of socioeconomic impact, considering the current size and rate of change of the population in Waimea. Neighborhood Character: Existing Conditions The properties surrounding the area exhibit a mixture of urban and agricultural zoning and uses. To the west and south are parcels zoned for urban uses: RS-15 (Residential, minimum lot size 15,000 sf) and CN 7.5 (Neighborhood commercial, minimum ?ot size 7,500 sf). Several residences, businesses and apre-school are present. To the east and north zoning is A-Sa and A-la. A small vegetable farm, a horse farm, and unused pasture are present. Neighborhood Character: Impacts and Mitigation Measures Because adjacent areas have land uses and densities similar to those being proposed through this rezoning request, there would be little impact to the character of the neighborhood. The rezoning would essentially produce an infilling of uses in an area surrounded on most sides by small, discrete residential subdivisions and roadside businesses. Archaeology and Historic Sites: Existing Conditions, Impacts and Mitigation Measures No historic or archaeological sites appear to be present on or near the parcel. The field reconnaissance did not uncover any rock structures or alignments, although the dense pasture obscured close ground survey. The parcel has reportedly been disturbed for many decades, and any relics of historic use that might have existed are likely to have been severely altered or destroyed. Because no resources are likely present, no impact is expected to result from the rezoning. Environmental Report for TMK 6-4-01-92 page 6 e Public Facilities and Services: Existing Conditions Access to the site is provided by a driveway from the Mamalahoa Highway. The combination of expanding resident and visitor populations has increased traffic in Waimea. Average daily traffic between Kamamalu Road and Lindsey Road has shown steady growth, from approximately 8,400 in 1984 to over 14,000 in 1994 (Source: State DOT Planning Branch traffic counts). It should be noted that several projects in planning or implementation, including improvements to Mamalahoa Highway, a bypass road on Pazker Ranch lands, and the (potential) Waimea Bypass system will greatly increase the capacity, convenience and safety of the road transportation system in Waimea over the next decade. All necessary utilities are available onsite. Wastewater treatment in Waimea is through septic tanks. Public Facilities and Services: Impacts and Mitigation Measures Any new lots created after rezoning would take access via one driveway on Mamalahoa Highway. Traffic impacts will be gauged as part of the review process during rezoning, subdivision and plan approval, and the Hawaii County Depaztment of Public Works is expected to determine if mitigation measures are necessary. Wastewater treatment will be through a septic tank system be designed, sited and installed in accordance with Hawaii State Department of Health regulations (HAR §11-62). No impacts or burdens to utility services or other customers would be experienced as a result of the rezoning and subsequent uses. Conclusions No substantial adverse environmental effects to are to be expected from the rezoning. Mitigation measures will be necessary to avoid drainage impacts. These will be developed as part of County-approved drainage plans, which should produce no net adverse impacts and po[entially beneficial drainage impacts. Mitigation for traffic impacts, if any, will be developed during the rezoning and plan approval review process. Environment¢l Report for TMK 6-4-0]-92 Page 7 e REFERENCES Furumoto, A.S., N.N.

Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System: A portion of the subject property located within 100 to 200 feet of the Mamalahoa Highway are classified as existing urban development. Immediately mauka of the -2- existing urban lands are "Prime" agricultural land and the remainder of the property is classified as "Other Important Agricultural lands". "Prime" agricultural lands have the soil quality, growing season and moisture supply needed to produce high sustained yields of crops economically when treated and managed according to modern farming methods. 12. U.S. Soil Survey: There are two types of soil on the subject property. The soils nearest the highway are classified as Kikoni very fine sandy loam (KXC). This soil is very dark brown very tine sandy loam about 6 inches thick. The subsoil is about 44 inches thick and consist of dark-brown and dark, reddish-brown very fine sandy loam and silt loam. The surface layer is neutral, and the subsoil is mildly alkaline. The surface is extremely stony in places. The rear half of the project site is classified Maile Series (MLD). This soil consists of well-drained, silt loams that formed in volcanic ash. In a representative profile, the surface layer is about 14 inches thick and consists of reddish-brown to very dark brown silt loam. The surface layer is reddish-brown to very dark brown, silt foam. It is underlain by fine sand-size aggregates of about 46 inches thick. Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is slight. These soils are used for pasture and for wildlife habitat. 13. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: Soils within the subject property are classified as "B" (Good), portion fronting Mamalahoa Highway, and "C" (Fair), remainder of the property, for agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau. 14.

A ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW CHANGE OF ZONE REQUEST FOR TMK 6-4-01:92 PUUKAPU, SOUTH KOHALA, HAWAII by Ron Terry, Ph.D. Februazy 1997 Introduction This Environmental Review (ER) was developed as supporting material for a change of zone request submitted to the Hawaii County Planning Department at the request of Dennis Haserot. The rezoning applies to a 2.84-acre parcel currently zoned A-Sa (Agriculture, minimum lot size 5 acres) in the town of Wain.~a on the Island of Hawaii. The property fronts the Mamalahoa Highway (State Highway 19), and is bordered by residences, farms and commercial property. The landowners are William and Patricia Bergin. The request is to reclassify/rezone 1.207 acres to State Land Use Urban, County zoning CN 7.5 (Neighborhood Commercial, minimum lot size 7,500 sfj, and 1.632 acres to RA 0.5 (Residential, minimum lot size 0.5 acres). After the rezoning, subdivision into several commercial lots and four residential lots would be possible. Methodology Methodology included field survey and examination of published records related to the environmental conditions on the site. A field survey of the property was conducted on 14 Januazy 1997. The primary objective was to determine whether any rare or endangered species, or habitat for such species, were present on the parcels. A secondary objective was to chazacterize the flora and fauna by 1) compiling a plant species list that would include the most common alien species and all native species encountered; 2) characterizing the general vegetation types present; and 3) assessing the quality of habitat for native fauna. A final objective was to identify any ocher sensitive environmental conditions or potential impacts. The length of the property was walked in zig-zag fashion four times. Over most of the property, survey involved intensive examination of representative sample areas. Records, maps and publications examined included the zoning maps, parcel maps and records, State Land Use District Maps, and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) maintained at the Hawaii County Planning and Public Works Departments. Published sources included the Atlas of Hawaii (2nd ed.), the Manual of Flowering Plants of Hawaii, the Rainfall Atlas of Hawaii, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographical map Kamuela (1:24,000 scale), the U.S. Soil Conservation Service's Soil Survey of /sland of Hawaii, the USGS publication Volcanic and Seismic Hazards on the Island of Hawaii, and the 1990 U.S. Census of Population. The References section at the end of this report supplies full references for all published material. Genera[ Site Description Elevation is approximately 2,800 fee[ above mean sea level, with gentle slopes throughout the property. Annual rainfall is X30-45 inches. The soil in the half of the property neazest the highway is classified as Kikoni very fine sandy loam. This soil is characteris[ic of the plains around Waimea, and has formed from volcanic ash on moderate to flat slopes in areas of medium rainfall. The soil is appropriate for pasture, truck crops and wildlife habitat. Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is slow, and erosion hazard is slight to moderate. The soil in the rear half of the property is Maile silt loam, also very common in Waimea. It is very similar to the Kikoni series, differing principally in the higher proportion of fines. The existing land use in the azea proposed for rezoning is a mixture of residential, actively used pasture (eight calves were in the pasture at the time of the survey), and apparently less frequently grazed pasture near the back of property. Abandoned remnants of ranching, including fenceposts, troughs and waste piles, litter the property. Flora, Fauna and Ecosystems: Existing Conditions The original vegetation of the project area is difficult to de[ermine because of the long history of both traditional Hawaiian and post-Western contact dis[urbance. Based on rainfall, wind patterns, and soil, the azea probably occupied an eco[one be[ween the Lowland Mesic Forest and the Lowland Dry Forest varieties (Gagne and Cuddihy 1990), but the region has been extensively modified by the introduction of Western flora and fauna and cattle grazing. Reconnaissance demonstrated that the entire parcel has been long affected by residential or grazing uses and has a long history of domination by various combinations of alien species. Aside from a residence and yard occupying less than 8.000 sf near the front, the property is basically a pasture of neazly pure stands of kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum). The pasture is infested to various degrees with minor amounts of weeds, including buddleia (Buddleia asiatica), vervain (Verbena bonariensis), Spanish clover (Desmodium spp.), and castor bean (Ricinus communis). A number of eucalyptus (mainly Eucalyptus saliena) line the borders, with a few trees inside as well. Several patches of taro oloca is and Alocasia spp.) and a wild pumpkin (Cucurbita Repo) aze found near the front. The only native observed was popolo (Solanum americanum, a presumed indigenous plant. No native fauna were observed on the site. [t is quite possible [hat certain native foxes[ birds, seabirds or migratory birds could utilize or fly over the site, but it is unlikely that any with threatened or endangered status would find the site suitable habitat or be affected by activities that occur on the parcel. The two Hawaiian raptors, the Hawaiian hawk or `io (Buteo solitarius), and the Hawaiian owl or pueo (Asio flammeus sandwichensis), probably make some use of the area. Although the Hawaiian hawk is an endangered species, the subject property is not considered to be part of its essential habitat. No hawk nests were observed on the site, although the scale of the survey was not exhaustive and there may be nests on or very near the property. Enviranmentat Repon for TMK 6-4-0/-92 Page 1 The only naive Hawaiian land mammal, the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), may also be present in the area, as it is common in many areas on the island of Hawaii. Observation took place in daylight, and therefore the lack of bat observations may not signify an actual absence of bats. As with the hawk, however, the project area would not be expected to represent essential habitat for species. Alien bird species observed on the site during the reconnaissance were limited to the Japanese white-eye (Zosterops japonica), spotted dove (Streptopelia chinens~), and northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis). Feral cats (I~elis catusl, rats Rattus spp.) and mice (Mus musculus domesticus) are also likely to inhabit or use the parcels. The entire back of the property is also a pasture for cows. Flora, Fauna and Ecosystems: /mpacts and Mitigation Measures No rare, threatened or endangered species as listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service aye present on the parcel, nor are there unique or valuable wildlife habitats. In fact, only one native organism (the common indigenous plant popolo) was observed. The history of continuous disturbance (including decades of cattle grazing) coupled with its lowland context indicates that the property has very little value in terms of conserving native species. No impact on native species or habitat is expected to result from the rezoning or subsequent activities on the site. Drainage: Existing Conditions No permanen[ or intermittent streams appear on maps of the parcel, and no evidence of watercourses or gullies was present in the reconnaissance. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the area (Panel 168-D) classify the entire parcel and surrounding areas as Zone X, which is identified in the community flood insurance study as areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area. Drainage: /mpacts and Mitigation Measures The parcel does not appear prone to flooding or likely to produce extraordinary quantities of runoff onto adjacent areas. For any property undergoing intensification of use, flooding can also be generated onsite because of an increase in runoff potential from rain falling on more impermeable surfaces. Mitigation for such impacts is achieved by engineering and building a system of gutters, storm drains, drywells and related structures to ensure that all runoff is contained on-si[e. This is a requirement of the County of Hawaii as part of rezoning, subdivision and plan approval, and it is expected that during the review process appropriate mitigation measures will be developed. Based on expected mitigation measures, no net impact to the applicant's or neighboring property or any areas downstream would result from the proposed project. En~ironmentot Report for TMK 6-4-0/-92 page j Lava Flow and Earthquake Hazards: Erisring Conditions The entire Big Island is subject to geologic hazards, especially lava flows and earthquakes. The property's location on the extinct Kohala volcano leads to a low risk level: Lava Flow Hazard Zone 8 (on a scale of ascending risk 9 to 1). Zone 8 areas have been free of lava flows for the last 750 years and have had only a few percent covered during the last 10,000 years The entire island of Hawaii is in Zone 3 on a scale of ascending risk I to 4 in the Seismic Probability Rating. Major damage corresponding to a score of 7 or above on the Modified Merca(li Scale is possible. Lava Flow and Earthquake Hazards: Impacts and Mitigation Measures No adverse impacts related to geological hazards is expected [o result directly or indirectly from the proposed rezoning. Air Quality and Noise: Existing Conditions Air quality in the project area is currently mostly affected by emissions from motor vehicles and natural sources. Volcanic emissions of sulfur dioxide convert into particulate sulfate which causes a volcanic haze (vog) to blanket the area during occasional episodes when trade winds are not present, although voggy conditions are not usual on the wet side of Waimea. Motor vehicles on the Mamalahoa Highway and adjacent roads and homes emit CO, nitroeen oxides and hydrocarbons (an ozone precursor), as well as smaller amounts of other pollutants. Noise is genera[ed on-si[e by residential and agricultural activities and off-site by similar activities and the Mamalahoa Highway. Noise levels are low on [he site, particularly towards the back of the parcel. Air Quality and Noise: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed rezoning would result in a slightly greater density of commercial and residential activities and would thus generate additional air pollution and noise. The increases in both would be negligible in the context of the existing environment, and merit no special mitigation measures. Scenic Resources.• Existing Conditions The scenic visual character of Waimea is derived from a landscape of pastures greened by fog and rain and framed in the dramatic backdrop of the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea. The scenic views of Pu'u [ki, which lies directly mauka (north) of the subject property, are specifically cited in the Hawaii County General Plan Support Document (p. 35) as an example of natural beauty worthy of preservation. Environmental Repon for TMK 6-4-01-92 Page 4 Scenic Resources: Impacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed rezoning is unlikely to adversely affect scenic views. The new lots proposed are within a residential area, and would be near existing homes from the point of view of [he observer on or near Mamalahoa Highway. These areas are barely higher in elevation than the viewer on the highway, and therefore structures built on the property would not normally be interposed between viewers and the scenic, forested pu`u behind. However, scenic views should be considered during approval of building plans if any structures taller than cwo stories are planned for portion of the property near the highway. ' Socioeconomic: Existing Conditions The following table presents recent and historic population data for Hawaii County, the South Kohala District, and Waimea. Resident Po ulatian Trends 1960 1970 1980 1990 Hawaii Countv 61.332 63,468 92,053 120,317 South Kohala 1,538 2,310 4,607 9,140 Waimea 300 756 1,179 5,972 Sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census: "1990 Census of Population. General Population Chatncterisucs," 1990 CP-I-13, Hawaii Countv Data Book. The population of South Kohala has grown steadily since 1965 as a result of the expanding visitor industry. The year 1965, when the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel opened and brought with it 775 jobs, inaugurated the era of large-scale resorts. By 1982 there were over a thousand jobs available at South Kohala resorts, a figure which grew to 4,000 by 1990 and to almost 5,000 by 1995 (Source: Hawaii County Department of Research and Development pubs., var. years). The trend continues until today. Between 1980 and 1990 the spectacular growth in the visitor plant in Kohala led to an equally large increase in visitors and therefore de facto population (the number of people who are actually present at any given time). South Kohala clearly has a large and growing share of the visitors to the island and consequently the de facto population. At any given time, up to one- fourth of those present in Kohala are visitors. De facto population is not recorded on a district by district basis. However, it can be very roughly approximated by multiplying the de-facto- minus-resident figure by the proportion of visitor accommodations present in a district, and then adding this to the district's population total. The results of estimating de facto population by this method are shown in the table below.

' Includes both North and South Kohala. The ethnic composition of Waimea at the time of the 1990 U.S. Census was as follows: Caucasian: 42.3 percent; Hawaiian: 31.0 percent; Japanese 12.6 percent; Filipino: 6.3 percent; Other: 7.8 percent. This distribution illustrates a multicultural community with no distinct minority eroups (Source: U.S. Census Data: Table 6, "1990 Census of Population. General Population Characteristics," 1990 CP-1-13) Socioeconomic: /mpacts and Mitigation Measures The proposed improvements would lead to an addition of several new commercial sites and three residences. The magnitude of this addition is inconsequen[ial in [erms of socioeconomic impact, considering the current size and rate of change of the population in Waimea. Neighborhood Character: Existing Conditions The properties surrounding the area exhibit a mixture of urban and agricultural zoning and uses. To the west and south are pazcels zoned for urban uses: RS-iS (Residential, minimum lot size 15,000 sf) and CN 7.S (Neighborhood commercial, minimum lot size 7,500 sfJ. Several residences, businesses and apre-school are present. To the east and north zoning is A-Sa and A-la. A small vegetable farm, a horse farm, and unused pasture are present. Neighborhood Character: Impacts and Mitigation Measures Because adjacent areas have land uses and densities similar to those being proposed through this rezoning request, there would be little impact to the character of the neighborhood. The rezoning would essentially produce an infilling of uses in an area surrounded on most sides by small, discrete residential subdivisions and roadside businesses. Archaeology and Historic Sites: Existing Conditions, /mpacts and Mitigation Measures No historic or archaeological sites appear to be present on or near the parcel. The field reconnaissance did not uncover any rock structures or alignments, although the dense pasture obscured close ground survey. The parcel has reportedly been disturbed for many decades, and any relics of historic use that might have existed are likely to have been severely altered or destroyed. Because no resources are li'-°ly present, no impac[ is expected to result from the rezoning. Environmental Repan for TMK 6-4-0/-92 Puge 6 Pu6fic Facilities and Services: Existing Conditions Access to the site is provided by a driveway from the Mamalahoa Highway. The combination of expanding resident and visitor populations has increased traffic in Waimea. Average daily traffic between Kamamalu Road and Lindsey Road has shown steady growth, from approximately 8,400 in 1984 to over 14,000 in 1994 (Source: State DOT Planning Branch traffic counts). [t should be noted that several projects in planning or implementation, including improvements to Mamalahoa Highway, a bypass road on Pazker Ranch lands, and the (potential) Waimea Bypass system will greatly increase the capacity, convenience and safety of the road transportation system in Waimea over the next decade. All necessary utilities are available onsite. Wastewater treatment in Waimea is through septic tanks. Public Facilities and Services: Impacts and Mitigation Measurers Any new lots created after rezoning would take access via one driveway on Mamalahoa Highway. Traffic impacts will be gauged as part of the review process during rezoning, subdivision and plan approval, and the Hawaii County Department of Public Works is expected to determine if mitigation measures are necessary. Wastewater treatment will be through a septic tank system be designed, sited and installed in accordance with Hawaii State Department of Health regulations (HAR §11-62). No impaca or burdens to utility services or other customers would be experienced as a result of the rezoning and subsequent uses. Conclusions No substantial adverse environmental effects to are to be expected from the rezoning. Mitigation measures will be necessary to avoid drainage impacts. These will be developed as part of County-approved drainage plans, which should produce no net adverse impacts and potentially beneficial drainage impacts. Mitigation for traffic impacts, if any, will be developed during the rezoning and plan approval review process. Environmenral Report far TMK 6-4-01-92 Poge 7 o .
