Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 90-85 (REZ 665)
Applicant: Wham, Inc.
Request: Amendment to Conditions B & C, Delete Conditions D & E
Tax Map Key• 7-5-4:6 and 13
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on August 20, 1998, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for amendment to Conditions B and
C, and deletion of Conditions D and E of Ordinance No. 90 85, which reclassified lands from
Village Commercial (CV-7.5), Multiple Family Residential (RM-1) and Agricultural (A-la) to
General Commercial (CG-20). The amendment to the conditions relates to time extension for
water commitment and subdivision performance requirements, and the deletion of conditions;
relates to securance of Final Plan Approval and construction of commercial development
requirements. The property is located to the south of Lanihau Shopping Center between
Henry Street and Lono Kona Subdivision, Keopu 1st, North Kona, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the request:
The purpose of this request is to amend the performance requirements of
Ordinance No. 90-85 to ensure that the applicant is not in violation with the time
conditions, as well as the modification and/or deletion of certain conditions which are
no longer applicable. The proposed amendments will bring the conditions relating to
performance requirements in line with current practices for similar projects.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 2
An amendment to Condition B will extend the time performance in which the
required water commitment payment shall be submitted to the Department of Water
Supply in accordance with its "Water Commitment Guidelines Policy" within ninety
(90) days from the effective date of the amended change of zone ordinance.
The amendment to Condition C will extend the time performance in which Final
Subdivision Approval of the proposed subdivision within the subject property shall be
secured from the Planning Director within five (5) years from the effective date of the
amended change of zone ordinance.
With respect to Conditions D and E, the applicant requests to delete the
requirement for Final Plan Approval for the commercial development and construction
of the commercial development. The applicant plans to subdivide the property and sell
the lots. It has no plans to construct anything on the property. In their letter of
June 19, 1998, to the Planning Director, the applicant has stated that "Part of the delay
in initiating the development of this site was the need to resolve the archaeological
features as well as the construction of Henry Street. Likewise, no Plan Approval for
any portion of the property was submitted within a year of final subdivision approval,
as the land was not subdivided. Similarly, no building permit for [he site was issued
within a year of receipt of final Plan Approval. Plan Approval was required after
receipt of final subdivision approval"... "Relative to future roadway connections to the
Lono Kona Subdivision, the Department of Public Works deemed that the connections
were not feasible."
Approval of this amendment request would not be contrary to the General Plan
nor would it be contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone. The'
amendment to Conditions B and C, and the deletion to Conditions D and E would not
be contrary to the original reasons for granting the Change of Zone request. The
request would be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan which
states "Designate and allocate lands in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping
with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County" and to
"...encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of
its residents in balance with the physical and social environment."
Please be informed that the Planning Commission also concurred with the Planning Director's
amendment to Conditions G and H, updating the name of the agency as Department of Land
and Natural Resources -Historic Preservation Division.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 90-85 is transmitted.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

Planning Department
COUNTY OF HAWAII
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Ms. Goldstein:
Subject: Amendment to Rezoning Ordinance (Ord. No. 90-85)
WHAM. INC., Kailua, Kona. TMK: 7-5-04: 6 and 13
Please be informed that the subject properties were rezoned into the General
Commercial (CG-20) district on July 16, 1990, subject to a number of conditions. Some of
those conditions are no longer applicable, as they have been implemented. Equally importazrt,
there were certain development performance requirements, and these have not been met. As
such, the owners are requesting the required amendments, as discussed below.
1. General Backeround
A. Project Location
The subject properties, consisting of 9+_ acres, are located on the south side of
Henry Street, between Kuakini Highway and the extension of the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway. (See Exhibit 1).
B. Permitting History
The subject properties were rezoned into the General Commercial (CG-20)
district on July 19, 1990, subject to a number of conditions. (See Exhibit 2).
C. Land Ownership
During the latter part of 1990 and subsequent to the rezoning action, the
subject properties were acquired by Auto Imports Hawaii and Robert N.
Iwamoto, Jr. The owners then formed a partnership called WHAM, Inc. to
develop the site.
Over the past seven (7) years, WHAM, Inc. has been actively working to
fulfill the various conditions of approval. Due to marketing and other
development
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director .
June 19, 1998
Page 2
conditions, the site could not be developed at a pace desired by the owners
and the terms of the conditions of approval. These will be discussed below.
2. Status of Conditions of Approval (See Exhibit 2)
A. As of this date, the water commitment has not been paid (Condition B). This
was due by October 15, 1990, 90 days after the effective date of the zone
change.
In discussions with the Department of Water Supply, the project is estimated
to need forty five (45) units of water, and this can still be made available. Its
availability would be subject to a water commitment fee of $150 per unit; a
facilities charge of $3,375 per unit; and a capital assessment fee of $500 per
unit. This would amount to a total of $181,125 ($4,025 x 45).
B. The lots have not been consolidated and subdivided as of yet (Condition C).
Plans for the development of the site were not submitted within a year of the
zone change. The only subdivision plans and action involved were the
subdivision assigning a portion of the subject site to Henry Street.
Part of the delaq in initiating the development of this site was the need to
resolve the archaeological features as well as the construction of Henry Street.
C. Likewise, no Plan Approval for any portion of the property was submitted
(Condition D) within a year of final subdivision approval, as the land was not
subdivided. Similarly, no building permit for the site was issued within a year
of receipt of Snal Flan Approval (Condition E). Plan Approval was required
after receipt of final subdivision approval.
D. WHAM, Inc. did, however, did its share relative to the construction of Henry
Street (Condition F). It dedicated a portion of its property for the roadway.
Additional funds from WHAM, Inc. were not required by the County.
Relative to future roadway connections to the Lono Kona Subdivision, the
Department of Public Works deemed that the connections were not feasible.
(See Exhibit 3).
E. No drainage system within the site has been installed as of this date (Condition
G), as the site has not been developed as of yet.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director
June 19, 1998
Page 3
F. Although Henry Street has been completed, no building permit has been
issued for any portion of the site (Condition H).
G. An archaeological data recovery and preservation plan (conditions I and J)
was submitted to the State DLNR. It was approved on February 10, 1998,
and WHAM, Inc, through its consulting archaeologist, Paul Rosendhal, Ph.D.,
Inc., is in the process of implementing the plan. (See Exhibit 4).
It should also be noted that the applicant previously submitted a request to the
Hawaii Island Burial Council seeking its approval to relocate the existing
burials to one corner of the site. Based on the feedback from the Council, the
applicant has elected to leave the burials "as is" with the appropriate buffers.
A formal request of the Council will be made in the very near future.
H. Since adoption of the rezoning ordinance, no annual report (Condition 1~ was
filed by the landowners. As will be noted below, it is the intention of the
applicant to have this submittal also satisfy -albeit belatedly -this
requirement.
3. Nature and Justification of Requested Amendments
In view of the foregoing, the applicant is requesting certain time extensions, as well as'.
the modification and/or deletion of certain conditions which are no longer applicable.
Using brackets [ ] to reflect items to be deleted and underscore _ to indicate items to
be added, the specific requested changes are:
A. Extending the Water Commitment Date (Condition B)
"(B) the required water commitment payment shall be submitted to the
Department of Water Supply in accordance with its 'Water Commitment
Guidelines Policy' within ninety (90) days from the effective date of this
amendment [ordinance]."
In its efforts to fulfill other conditions of approval -conditions which affected
the development schedule of this site -the applicant overlooked payment of
the required fees. Fortunately, water is still available to this site, provided that
the commitment and related fees are paid.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director .
June 19, 1998
Page 4
B. Modifying the Subdivision Processing Timetable (Condition C)
"[consolidationlresubdivision plans shall be submitted within one year from the
effective date of the change of zone. Final subdivision approval shall be
secured within one year from the date of receipt of tentative subdivision
approval.] Final Subdivision Approval of the proposed subdivision within the
subject property shall be secured from the Plannine Director within five (51
years from the effective date of this amendment.
Since 1990, the condition relative to performance on subdivisions has been
modified to the suggested language. It is requested that this change be made
to make the project consistent with current policy.
C. Deleting Conditions D & E Relating to Permit and Construction Timetable
At this time, the applicant plans to subdivide the property and sell the lots. A
map of the proposed subdivision (reflecting the historical preserve areas) is
attached as Eahibit 5. It has no plans to construct anything on the property.
In that regard, the applicant would have no idea as to the construction
timetable of the prospective landowner. As such, the applicant is requesting
that these conditions be deleted.
D. Other Conditions and Re-Letter Conditions Accordingly
Further, inasmuch as Henry Street has already been constructed, the
conditions relating to this Street (Conditions F and H) have essentially been
fulfilled. As such, the applicant has no objections to the deletion of those
conditions.
4. Annual Report Requirement
Condition M required the submittal of an annual report. As noted above, no report
has been filed since adoption of this rezoning ordinance. Accordingly, the applicant
requests that this Requested Amendment and information contained herein be
considered fulfillment (although belated) of this requirement.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director
June 19, 1998
Page 5
Please find attached a filing fee of $250 plus a letter of authorization from the
landowner reflecting this request. Please also find a list of surrounding property owners
within three hundred (300) feet of the perimeter boundary of the subject parcels. A notice cif
this filing will be mailed within ten (10) days of the date of its filing with your office.
If you have any questions or need additional information on this matter, please feel
free to contact me. Thank you very much.

We have considered your Aprii 13, 1998 request and although we do not agree with all of your
arguments, we will concur. The condition, though well meaning, was inappropriate as transportation
connectivity between parcels (and areas) is essentially a land use issue that the Planning Department,
through an appropriate study like the K-K Plan, should determine. We will continue to provide
recommendations and technical assistance to the Planning Department in making decisions in this area.
However, our recommendations should not be the governing consideration for the development of
circulation traffic patterns in the County of Hawaii.
Should you have any questions, please call Galen Kuba of my staff at (808) 961-8327.

Dear Mr. Yanagihara:
Subject: Proposed Lono Kona Subdivision and Henry Street
Connection. Ordinance No. 90-85, TMK: 7-5-04: 6 Er 13
Thank you very much for meeting with me last week Thursday to review the
subject matter. This is to follow up on that meeting and to formalize the
landowners' request.
Background
The subject properties are located between the south side of Henry Street
and the Lono Kona Subdivision. It was rezoned into the General Commercial (CG-~
20) district in 1990, subject to a number of conditions. A copy of this ordinance
(which also includes the rezoning map) is attached for your easy reference.
Condition F of said ordinance required in part that "interior on-site driveway
circulation shall be coordinated to allow for future roadway connection to Lono
Kona Subdivision, if deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works;"
(emphasis added). As such, this condition basically defers any such connection
to your office.
The landowners are now in the process of developing the subject site; and in
so doing, find a need for some measure of clarification andlor direction from your
office.
Re uest
In that regard and on behalf of the landowners, we respectfully request that
your office do not mandate a roadway connection between the subject site and the
Lono Kona Subdivision. In support of this request, we provide the following for
your consideration:
Mr. Casey Yanagihara
April 13, 1998
Page 2
a. For one thing, none of the three (3) "potential" cross streets within the
Lono Kona Subdivision abut the subject property. As such, land for
any extensions would have to be condemned and/or acquired by the
County to effectuate this proposal.
b. There is amultiple-family residential complex at the makai end of
Kalama Street. The mauka parcel is vacant. (See photo marked
Exhibit A). This would make this connection somewhat difficult and
costly.
Further, if extended, it would intersect with Henry Street at
approximately one hundred fifty (150) feet from Kuakini Highway.
This would appear to be fairly close to a major intersection.
c. There is an existing tier of lots between the end of Lamaokeola Street
and the subject site. All of these lots are fully developed. (See photo
marked Exhibit 8). Thus, the extension of this street would not
appear to be feasible.
d. Because the parcel at the end of Alahou Street is vacant, it would
appear that this would be feasible. (See photo marked Exhibit C).
However, its extension would result in the removal of a major heiau
and some burials. (See proposed layout marked Exhibit D). It shouf~d
. be noted that the Burial Council has advised the landowner of its
position of wanting to retain these sites "as is." Without the Burial
Council's approval, these sites cannot be relocated and/or removed.
e. Finally, the aforementioned streets within the Lono Kona Subdivision
are substandard. Thus, making any one of them a connector street
would require additional improvements, including acquisition of
additional rights-of-way, to the balance of the selected street.
It is our considered belief that when this condition was recommended by
your office (see attached memo), it was done without a detailed analysis of the
existing conditions within the Lono Kona Subdivision. And from a planning
perspective, this was understandable. As such, rather than requiring a connection,
the condition gave your office the discretion to do away with such a connection.
Mr. Casey Yanagihara ,
April 13, 1998
Page 3
In view of the foregoing, we respectfully request that your office do not
mandate an interior connection of the subject site with the Lono Kona Subdivision.
We Took forward to your early review and decision on this matter. Should
you need additional information or have questions on this matter, please feel free
to contact me. Thank you very much.

;Lig~EC;: STATE LAND USE BOUNDARY AMENDMENT ( 89-5)
Change of Zone Application (R 89-2
Applicant: Charles Forman b JBE Associates
Location: N. Kona, HI
TMK: 7-5-4: 6 & 13
We have had an opportunity to review Mr. Sidney Fuke's February Z8, 1990
letter relating to the subject application, and we have the following
comments and recommendations:
Drainaoe
Portions of the subject parcel are prone to periodic stormwater
inundation and, as such, may not be fully utilizable in the future, even
with the installation of on and off-site drainage improvements meeting
with the approval of the Department of Public Works.
A drainage system, both on and off-site, shall be installed meeting with
the requirements of the Department of Public Works. Said system shall be
constructed and maintained such that post-development conditions
downstream of the project are "better or no-worse" than pre-development
conditions.
A drainage study, meeting with the requirements of the Department of
Public Warks, shall be executed for the purpose of determining the
necessary on and off-site drainage improvements for this development.
Said on and off-site drainage improvements shall be installed prior to
the issuance of certificate(s) of occupancy for any portion of the
cortmercial development.
Henry Street
The applicants shall assist in the construction of Henry Street by
dedication of land. If necessary, contribute up to 5100,000, to cover
cost overrun incurred by the County of Hawaii during construction.
All accesses to the subject site shall be limited to the proposed Henry
Street. The location of the accesses and improvements thereto shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Department of Public Works.
Memo to Planning Director
Page 2
April 5, 1990
Further, interior on-site driveway circulation shall be coordinated to
allow for future roadway connection to Lono Kona Subdivision, if deemed
necessary by the Department of Public Works.
Assurance of Henry Street Construction
Ho building permit for any development on the subject site shall be
issued unless and until there are legal and financial assurances, as
determined by the Chief Engineer and Corporation Counsel, that the
proposed Henry Street will be constructed and operable prior to or in
conjunction with the issuance of an occupancy permit for the proposed
development.

TMK: 7-5-4:6 and 13
This is in response to your Memo of June 29, 1998 with a request for our comments on the
subject application.
In a letter dated February 10, 1998 to Mr. Thomas R. Wolforth of PHRI (included heze as part of
Exhibit 4) our office approved a Data Recovery Plan and Interim Preservation Plan for human
burials on the subject property. PHRI is in the process of implementing those plans and also
preparing a new, revised Burial Treatment Plan to take to the Hawaii Island Burial Council.
The requested amendments to Conditions B & C and deletion of Conditions D and E will have
"no effect" on historic sites. No ground alteration should take place, however; untie there is an
approved Burial Treatment Plan and our office has verified that the data recovery fieldwork has
been completed according to the approved plan. - _
If you should have any questions about the archaeological requirements for this project please

For your information, the areas along the northeastern boundary of the proposed project site,
according to FEMA Community Panel Map No. 155166 0713 C, are located in Zone AE. This
is a special flood hazard azea inundated by a 100-yeaz flood, with base elevations determined.
The areas immediately adjacent are located in Zone X (shaded). This is an area subject to either
one of the following conditions:
1. Areas of 500-yeaz flood,
2. Areas of 100-yeaz flood with average depths less than one (1) foot or with drainage area
less than one square mile,
3. Areas protected by levees from 100-year flood.

Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject doctunent. Our comments related to
water resources aze marked below.
In general, the CWRM strongly promotes the efficient use of our water resources through
conservation measures and use of alternative non-potable water resources whenever available,
feasible, and there are no harmful effects to the ecosystem. Also, the CWRM encourages the
protection of water rechazge azeas which aze important for the maintenance of streams and the
replenishment of aquifers.
[ x ] We recommend coordination with the county govertunent to incorporaze this proja;[ into the county's
Water Use and Development Plan.
[ ] We aze cotteemal about the potential for gronnd or surface water degradation/contamittazion and
recommend that approvals for this project be conditional upon a review by the State Department of
Health and the developer's acceptance of any resulting requirements relatal to wazer quality.
[ ] A Well Conswction Permit and/or a Pump hutallazion Permit fiom the CWRM would be required
before ground water is develops! as a source of supply for the project.
[ ] The proposal water supply source for the projxt is located in a designated water management azea„
and a Water Use Pezmit from the CVi'RM would be required prior to use of this source.
[ ] Groundwazer withdrawals from this proja;[ may offs;[ streamflows. This may require an instream flow
standazd amendment.
[ ] If the proposed proja;t diverts additional wazer from streams or if new or modified stream diversiolvc
aze plannai, the proja:[ may need to obtain a stream diversion works permit and petition to amend the
interim iastream flow standard for the affa:taf stream(s).
[ ] [f the propossi proja;t performs any work within the bai and banks of a stream channel, the proja;t
may need to obtain a stream channel alterazion permit and a petition to amend the interim instream flow
standard for the affected stream(s).
[ ] We recommend thaz no development take plan; affecting highly erodible slopes which drain into
streams within or adjacent to the proja;[.

Thank you for sending me a copy of comments from the Department of Land and
Natural Resources and the Fire Department regarding the subject matter. In response to their
comments, please note the following:
A State DLNR As noted in said letter, the applicant is in the process of
implementing the approved Data Recovery Plan. We did make an informal
presentation to the Hawaii Island Burial Council regarding the applicant's
plans to preserve the burials in their present location. Based on the inputs of
the Council, a Burial Treatment Plan will be submitted to the Council for its
review and approval. This will be done before any ground alteration permits
are taken.
B. Fire Departme~: As the property fronts an approved County road (Henry
Street), 5re and other emergency vehicles can readily access the site. Other
requirements of the Fire Code will be implemented in conjunction with the
actual developme~ of the respective sites.
A copy of this response is being sent to the respective agency. We trust that the
foregoing adequately address the agencies' concerns. If not or if there are further comments,
please feel free to cornea me. Again, thank you very much.

Thank you for sending me a copy of comments from the State Department of Land
and Natural Resources regarding the subject matter.
The applicant is aware of the drainage designations noted on the Flood Insurance
Rate Map. For the most part the subject property is within Zone X, areas of minimal hazard.
For the small area at the northeastern end of the site that falls within the AE zone, the
applicant will take appropriate mitigative measures in conjunction with the developmem of
the site. This will probably not include any struchues or uses that would be violative of the
regulations governing this zone.
We appreciate the comments and they will be made known to the landowner andlor
subsequent purchasers or developers of the affected area.
Again, thank you very much and please feel free to contact this office if there are
further questions or correspondences on this matter.

COUNTY OF HAWAII

Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Ms. Goldstein:
Subject: Amendment to Rezoning Ordinance (Ord. No. 90-85)
WHAM, INC., Kailua, Kona, TMK: 7-5-04: 6 and 13
Please be informed that the subject properties were rezoned into the General
Commercial (CG-ZO) district on July 16, 1990, subject to a number of conditions. Some of
those conditions are no longer applicable, as they have been implemented. Equally important,
there were certain development performance requirements, and these haue not been met. As
such, the owners are requesting the required amendments, as discussed below.
1. General Background
A. Proiect Location
The subject properties, consisting of 9+_ acres, are located on the south side of
Henry Street, between Kuakini Highway and the extension of the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway. (See Exhibit i).
B. Permitting_Historv
The subject properties were rezoned into the General Commercial (CG-20)
district on July 19, 1990, subject to a number of conditions. (See Exhibit 2).
C. Land Ownership
During the latter part of 1990 and subsequent to the rezoning action, the
subject properties were acquired by Auto Imports Hawaii and Robert N.
Iwamoto, Jr. The owners then formed a partnership called WHAM, Inc. to
develop the site.
Over the past seven (7) years, WHAM, Inc. has been actively working to
fulfill the various conditions of approval. Due to marketing and other
development
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director
June 19, 1998
Page Z
conditions, the site could not be developed at a pace desired by the owners
and the terms of the conditions of approval. These will be discussed below.
2. Status of Conditions of Anproval (See Exhibit 2)
A. As of this date, the water commitment has not been paid (Condition B). This
was due by October 15, 199Q 90 days after the effective date of the zone
change.
In discussions with the Department of Water Supply, the project is estimated
to need forty five (45) units of water, and this can still be made available. Its
availability would be subject to a water commitment fee of $150 per unit; a
facilities charge of $3,375 per unit; and a capital assessment fee of $500 per
unit. This would amount Co a total of $181,125 ($4,025 x 45).
B. The lots have not been consolidated and subdivided as of yet (Condition C).
Plans for the development of the site were not submitted within a year of the
zone change. The only subdivision plans and action involved were the
subdivision assigning a portion of the subject site to Henry Street.
Part of the delay in initiating the development of this site was the need to
resolve the archaeological features as well as the construction of Henry Street.
C. Likewise, no Plan Approval for any portion of the property was submitted
(Condition D) within a year of final subdivision approval, as the land was not
subdivided. Similarly, no building permit for the site was issued within a year
of receipt of final Plan Approval (Condition E). Plan Approval was required
after receipt of final subdivision approval.
D. WHAM, Inc. did, however, did its share relative to the construction of Henry
Street (Condition F). It dedicated a portion of its property for the roadway.
Additional funds from WHAM, Inc. were not required by the County.
Relative to future roadway connections to the Lotto Kona Subdivision, the
Department of Public Works deemed that the connections were not feasible.
(See Exhibit 3).
E. No drainage system within the site has been installed as of this date (Condition
G), as the site has not been developed as of yet.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director
June 19, 1998
Page 3
F. Although Henry Street has been completed, no building permit has been
issued for any portion of the site (Condition H).
G. An archaeological data recovery and preservation plan (conditions I and J)
was submitted to the State DLNR. It was approved on February 10, 1998,
and WHAM, Inc. through its consulting archaeologist, Paul Rosendhal, Ph.D.,
Inc., is in the process of implementing the plan. (See Exhibit 4).
It should also be noted that the applicant previously submitted a request to the
Hawaii Island Burial Council seeking its approval to relocate the existing
burials to one comer of the site. Based on the feedback from the Council, the
applicant has elected to leave the burials "as is" with the appropriate buffers.
A formal request of the Council will be made in the very near future.
H. Since adoption of the rezoning ordinance, no annual report (Condition M) was
filed by the landowners. As will be noted below, it is the intention of the
applicant to have this submittal also satisfy -albeit belatedly -this
requirement.
3. Nature and Justification of Requested Amendments
In view of the foregoing, the applicant is requesting certain time extensions, as well as
the modification and/or deletion of certain conditions which are no longer applicable.
Using brackets [ ] to reflect items to be deleted and underscore ~ to indicate items to
be added, the specific requested changes are:
A. Extending the Water Commitment Date (Condition B)
"(B) the required water commitment payment shall be submitted to the
Department of Water Supply in accordance with its 'Water Commitment
Guidelines Policy' within ninety (90) days from the effective date of this
amendment [ordinance]."
In its efforts to fulfil] other conditions of approval -conditions which affected
the development schedule of this site -the applicant overlooked payment of
the required fees. Fortunately, water is still available to this site, provided that
the commitment and related fees are paid.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director ,
June 19, 1998
Page 4
B. Modifying the Subdivision Processing Timetable (Condition C)
"[consolidationJresubdivision plans shall be submitted within one year from the
effective date of the change of zone. Final subdivision approval shall be
secured within one year from the date of receipt of tentative subdivision
approval.] Final Subdivision Ap~tova( of thepmposed subdivision within the
subject property shall be secured from the Planning Director within five (5)
years from the effective date of this amendment.
Since 1990, the condition relative to performance on subdivisions has been
modified to the suggested language. It is requested that this change be made
to make the project consistent with current policy.
C. Deleting Conditions D & E Relating to Permit and Construction Timetable
At this time, the applicant plans to subdivide the property and sell the lots. A
map of the proposed subdivision (reflecting the historical preserve areas) is
attached as Exhibit 5. It has no plans to construct anything on the property.
In that regard, the applicant would have no idea as to the construction
timetable of the prospective landowner. As such, the applicant is requesting
that these conditions be deleted.
D. Other Conditions and Re-Letter Conditions Accordingly
Further, inasmuch as Henry Street has already been constructed, the
conditions relating to this Street (Conditions F and H) have essentially been
fulfilled. As such, the applicant has no objections to the deletion of those
conditions.
4. Annual Regort Requirement
Condition M required the submittal of an annual report. As noted above, no report
has been filed since adoption of this rezoning ordinance. Accordingly, the applicant
requests that this Requested Amendment and information contained herein be
considered fulfillment (although belated) of this requirement.
Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director
June 19, 1998

Please find attached a filing fee of $250 plus a Letter of authorization from the
landowner reflecting this request. Please also find a list of surrounding property owners
within three hundred (300) feet of the perimeter boundary of the subject parcels. A notice of
this filing will be mailed within ten (]0) days of the date of its filing with your office.
If you have any questions or need additional information on this matter, please feel
free to contact me. Thank you very much.

Change of Zone Ordinance 90-85
Keopu 1", North Kona, Hawaii
Tmk: 7-5-04:6 & 13
We have considered your April ]3, 1998 request and although we do not agree with all Hof your
arguments, we will concur. The condition, though well meaning, was inappropriate as transportation
connectivity between parcels (and areas) is essentially a land use issue that the Planning Department,
through an appropriate study ]ike the K-K Plan, should determine. We will continue to provide
recommendations and technical assistance to the Planning Department in making decisions in this area.
However, our recommendations should not be the governing consideration for the development of
circulation traffic patterns in the County of Hawaii.
Should you have any questions, please call Galen Kuba of my staff at (808) 961-8327.

Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Mr. Yanagihara:
Subject: Proposed Lono Kona Subdivision and Henry Street
Connection, Ordinance No. 90-85, TMK: 7-5-04:6 & 13
Thank you very much for meeting with me last week Thursday to review the
subject matter. This is to follow up on that meeting and to formalize the
landowners' request.
Background
The subject properties are located between the south side of Henry Street
and the Lono Kona Subdivision. It was rezoned into the General Commercial (CG-
20) district in 1990, subject to a number of conditions. A copy of this ordinance
(which also includes the rezoning map) is attached far your easy reference.
Condition F of said ordinance required in part that "interior on-site driveway
circulation shall be coordinated to allow for future roadway connection to Lono
Kona Subdivision, if deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works;"
(emphasis added). As such, this condition basically defers any such connection
to your office.
The landowners are now in the process of developing the subject site; and in
so doing, find a need for some measure of clarification and/or direction from your
office.
Request
In that regard and on behalf of the landowners, we respectfully request that
your office do not mandate a roadway connection between the subject site and the
Lono Kona Subdivision. In support of this request, we provide the following for
your consideration:
4
Mr. Casey Yanagihara
April 13, 1998
Page 2
a. For one thing, none of the three (3) "potential" cross streets within the=_
Lono Kona Subdivision abut the subject property. As such, land for
any extensions would have to be condemned and/or acquired by the
County to effectuate this proposal.
b. There is amultiple-family residential complex at the makai end of
Kalama Street. The mauka parcel is vacant. (See photo marked
Exhibit A). This would make this connection somewhat difficult and
costly.
Further, if extended, it would intersect with Henry Street at
approximately one hundred fifty (150) feet from Kuakini Highway.
This would appear to be fairly close to a major intersection.
c. There is an existing tier of lots between the end of Lamaokeola Street:
and the subject site. All of these lots are fully developed. (See photo
marked Exhibit B). Thus, the extension of this street would not
appear to be feasible.
d. Because the parcel at the end of Alahou Street is vacant, it would
appear that this would be feasible. (See photo marked Exhibit C).
However, its extension would result in the removal of a major heiau
and some burials. (See proposed layout marked Exhibit D). It should
be noted that the Burial Council has advised the landowner of its
position of wanting to retain these sites "as is." Without the Burial
Council's approval, these sites cannot be relocated and/or removed.
e. Finally, the aforementioned streets within the Lono Kona Subdivision
are substandard. Thus, making any one of them a connector street
would require additional improvements, including acquisition of
additional rights-of-way, to the balance of the selected street.
It is our considered belief that when this condition was recommended by
your office (see attached memo), it was done without a detailed analysis of the
existing conditions within the Lono Kona Subdivision. And from a planning
perspective, this was understandable. As such, rather than requiring a connection,
the condition gave your office the discretion to do away with such a connection.
Mr. Casey Yanagihara
April 13, 1998
Page 3
In view of the foregoing, we respectfully request that your office do not
mandate an interior connection of the subject site with the Lono Kona Subdivision.
We look forward to your early review and decision on this matter. Should
you need additional information or have questions on this matter, please feel free
to contact me. Thank you very much.

iUBJECT: STATE LAND USE BOUNDARY AMENDMENT ( 89-5)
Change of Zone Application {R 89-2
Applicant: Charles Forman & JBE Associates
Location: N. Kona, HI
TMK: 7-5-4: fi & 13
We have had an opportunity to review Mr. Sidney Fuke's February 28, 1990
letter relating to the subject application, and we have the following
comments and recommendations:
Drainaoe
Portions of the subject parcel are prone to periodic stormwater
' inundation and, as such, may not be fully utilizable in the future, even
with the installation of on and off-site drainage improvements meeting
with the approval of the Department of Public Works.
A drainage system, both on and off-site, shall be installed meeting with
the requirements of the 6epartment of Public Works. Said system shall be
constructed and maintained such that post-development conditions
downstream of the project are "better or no-worse" than pre-development
conditions.
A drainace study, meeting with the requirements of the Department of
Public Works, shall be executed for the purpose of determining the
necessary on and off-site drainage improvements for this development.
Said on and off-site drainage improvements shall be installed prior to
the issuance of certificate(s) of occupancy for any portion of the
commercial development.
Henry Street
The applicants shall assist in the construction of Henry Street by
dedication of land. If necessary, contribute up to 5100,000, to cover
cost overrun incurred by the County of Hawaii during construction.
A11 accesses to the subject site shall be limited to the proposed Henry
Street. The location of the accesses and improvements thereto shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Department of Public Works.
o
Memo to Planning Director
Page 2
April 5, 1990
Further, interior on-site driveway circulation shall be coordinated to
allow for future roadway connection to Lo no Kona Subdivision, if deemed
necessary by the Department of Public Works.
Assurance of Henry Street Construction
No building permit for any development on the subject site shall be
issued unless and until there are legal and financial assurances, as
determined by the Chief Engineer and Corporation Counsel, that the
proposed Henry Street will be constructed and operable prior to or in
conjunction with the issuance of an occupancy permit for the proposed
development.

INTRODUCTION
Paul H. Rosendahl, Ph.D. Inc. (PHRI) has prepared this archaeological mitigation program for
WHAM, Inc. This plan has been prepared in conjunction with development of [he 9.5 acre Henry Street
Commercial Project site located in the Lands of Keopu 1st and Moeauoa 2nd, North Kona Dis[ric[, Island
of Hawaii (TMK:3-7-5-04:6,13) (Figure 1, Appendrx B). Development in the project area will entail
grubbing and other ground-disturbing activities, Followed by construction of commercial sites and
structures. This mitigation program will ensure protection or appropriate mitigation of cultural resourers
within the property, both known and those that may be currently undetected.
The history of archaeological investigations, significance evaluations, recommended treatments, and
regulatory comments and concurrence at the project parcel is complicated. Several surface inspections
and testing proerams have been conducted in association with the Hemy Street Commercial Project
(Table 1).
The initial inventory survey for [he project area was conducted in December 1989 (Donham ac.d
Walker 1990). Thirty-four (34) sites were assessed during the initial inventory survey (Figure J,
Appendix B). Additional work, including tests foc burials, was recommended Tor 32 of the sites. The
Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) approved the report in July, 1994.
Additional inspections were conducted in November 1990 and April 1991 to assess bulldozing damage to
the project aren, and to determine whether burials were located in potential burial feahu~es (Falter and
Rosendahl 1991). Additional tests were conducted in November 1993 to assess damage to sites and to
determine whether burials were present (Jensen and Jimenez 1994). Significance assessments and
recommended treatments were revised as the result of each investigation, with the final version being
submitted with [he Jensen and Jimenez (1994) document. The DLNR concurred with the revised report
in January, 1995.
This plan includes a (1) Data Recovery Plan For the significant sites in the project area, (2) an
Interim Preservation Plan for burial sites, and (3) a commitment from the client to complete the reporting
on the work briefly described in Falter and Rosendahl (1991) (see Appendix .9).

DATA RECOVERY PLAN
Pursuant to 13-149-5 (llLVR 1996), this Data Recovery Plan shall include the six elements
addressed below. The final report will present Tindings of the Data Recovery Plan, as outlined in 13-278-
8: Rules Governing Minimal Standards for Archaeological Data Recovery Studies and Reports. The
forma[ and organization of the Tinal report has not been determined, but the contents will include, at a
minimum, all of the elements specified in the above-referenced Rules.
(1) IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTIES TO BE STUDIED
Data recovery has been recommended and concurred with for a total of 18 sites in the project area
(Table I). In addition, one site, the Great Wall of Kuakini (Site 7276) will be avoided during
construction and preserved. Of the 18 sites recommended for data recovery, 5 contain confirmed burials
(Sites 5057, 12414, 13518, 13526, and 13534). The current mitigation plan calls for excavation at s.ix
sites to address the research topic described below. The rationale for selection of the six sites is provided
in sections 2 and 3 oY the Data Recovery Plan. Figures illustrating sites to be excavated are included in
Appendis B in numerical order by site.
Different excavation and recordation strategies were used during the various investigations in alad
around the project area (Donham and Walker 1990; Fager and Rosendahl 1991; Hammett 1989; Han
1986; Jensen and Jimenez 1994; Rosendahl 1979; Schilt 1984; Soehren 1985). Data analysis was
conducted for the inventory survey work (Donham and Walker 1990), but results of additional tests for
3
w
burials was limited to contexts of burials and does not include detailed materials analyses (Fager and
Rosendahl I"991; Jensen and Jimenez 1994). Burials were left in situ and covered during all of the PHRI
investigations (Donham and Walker 1990; Fager and Rosendahl 1991; Jensen and Jimenez 1994).
Site 5609 is a complex of historic/prehistoric permanent habitation features that have been partially
impacted by bulldozing. Three features occur partially within the Henry Street Commercial Project area,
and 5 more occur immediately to the north (Hammatt 1989; Rosendahl 1979). The entire complex at one
time contained four low platforms, a stepped terrace, and a wall remnant, all within a rectangular
enclosure. The letter designations used here follow Rosendahl's original designations, which for Slte
5609 include Features B-G and L. As described by Rosendahl, the overall dimensions of the enclosure
are 64 by 30 m (Rosendahl 1979:4). The portion of the site within the project area is approximately 58 m
by IZ m. The site has been severely affected by bulldozing and construction of Henry Street since it was
recorded in 1979. Portions of three features remain in the current project area: B, F, G.
Feature B is a partial enclosure (I9 by 0.8 by 1.1 m high). The wall is core-tilled and bifaced with
pahoehoe boulders and large cobbles. The stones are stacked 5 to 8 courses high to an average height of
1.1 m. A few medium boulders are incorporated on edge in the wall sides. The eastem end of the wall
abuts the southwest side of Site 12429 enclosure. The wall has been severely affected by bulldozing.
Several fence posts are situated along the wall, in pairs on opposite sides. Most of the wire associated
with fhe posts is gone.
Feature F is a wall (12 by 1 by LS m high) located 23 m west of the eastern wall of the enclosure.
The south end of the wall is 5.4 m from the interior side of the south enclosure wall. The wall is bifaced
and core-filled. A few pieces of branch coral were observed on the present core-filled surface, which is
below the level of the wall edges in places. The boulders along the base of the wall are relatively lar¢,e;
some are turned on edge and some are se[ upright. This wall appears to have been wider and more
massive than the present enclosure wall (Feature B). A break which appears to represent a collapsed
entranceway occurs in the wall 5.4 m from the north wall terminus. The north side of this opening is
defined by two boulders placed on edge, forming a faced side. The entrance is 1.5 m wide and is on or
very near the Moeauoa 2nd/Keopu 1st boundary. The portion of [he wall within the project area is 4.6 m
long and appears to have been diminished by stone borrowing.
Feature G is a pla[Yo[m (83 by 7.0 by 0.5 m high). This low, rectangular platform is located
immediately on and to the south of [he project area boundary. A previous assessment indicated that this
feature was severely affected by bulldozing leaving only 8 square meters (Hammatt 1939:1:5).
Consegcently, the feature was assessed as being no longer significant (Hammatt 1989:6). In contrast,
Feature G was relocated during the Henry Street Commercial Project (Donham and Walker 1990) and
was found to be in good condition. The south and west perimeters of the feature have been displaced, but
the surface pavement and fill is mostly intact (at least 80% of the original surface area remains). Most
of the surface has been covered with dead trees, Loose boulders, and construction refuse, and appeared to
be part of a rubble pile until cleared and examined more closely. The Feature B enclosure wall has been
pushed from its original location and abets the south side of the platfo[m, intermixed with the perimeter
stones. The pta[Torm fill and surface pavement is dispersed to the south and west, and the surface area
given here is probably greater than the original platform surface. The northeast and northwest comers are
intact, as is the entire north perimeter and the northern portions of the east and west perimeters.
The platform perimeters are angular basalt boulders and cobbles stacked and vertically faced, two to
three courses high (25 em to 50 cm). The fill surface is paved with large vesicular basalt pebbles that are
of a uniform size, with scattered waterworn pebbles and pieces of coral. A subsurface feature which may
4
represent a fireplace is located along the interior side of the east perimeter, 1.7 m south of the northeast
corner. This depression is defined by partially buried linear boulder set on edge, forming an ova]
opening in the pavement 1 m wide along the platform perimeter and 1.7 m long at the center. Tlae
depression is partially filled with loose, loamy silt.
Site 13521 is a complex of 3 prehistoric permanent habitation features (19 by 9 m): two platforms
(Features A and B) and a partially collapsed wall segment (Feature C).
Feature A is a habitation platform (6 by 5 by 0.7 m high) with stacked angular and rounded boulders
and cobbles, and Taced perimeters intact along the north, south and east sides. The faced sides are
stacked 3 courses high. Most of the sides are 0.3 m high. Maximum height of the feature (0.7 m) is in the
center. Smaller fill, probably representing forner paving, is concentrated on the platform surface, at the
south znd. Portable remains observed include a hammerstone, waterworn cobbles, and coral.
Feature B is a habitation platfomn (3 by 6.5 by 0.5 m high) mach of angular and rounded boulders,
and cobbles stacked and faced in nvo sections along the northwest and northeast sides. The faced
sections of the perimeter are currently 1.50 and 2.00 m long, and range in height from 0.15 to 0.45 m.
Maximum platform height (0.50 m) is at the southzast comer. Pebble paving is present in a small area at
the northeast comer, where the two features are nearly ndjoined. Fill in the remainder of the feature is
loose cobbles and boulders. No soil or midden was observed on the platform. Waterworn coral and
basalt pebbles and cobbles are present.
Feature C is a remnant of a wall (1.8 by 1.5 by 0.1 m high) that is bifaced and core-tilled. The wall
abuts the north side of the nkup«a'a boundary wall (Sitz 13516). Waterworn coral and wooden planks
occur near the feature.
Site 13523 is a complex of 3 prehistoric/historic permanent habitation and agricultural features, tv+o
modified outcrops (Features A and C) and a mound (Feature B), located inside the Site 12429 enclosure.
The overall complex area is 15 by 9 m.
Feature A is an agricultural modified outcrop (5.8 by 2.3 by 03 m high) on a pahoehoe depression
filled with rounded pebble and cobble rubble. A deposit of loamy soil is present in the filled area.
Portable remains observed in the immediate vicinity include historic glass and other refuse.
Feature B is a mound (2.8 by 2.0 by 0.4 m high) with a stacked boulder perimeter along the east side,
filled with rounded cobbles. Several pieces of coral are present on the mound surface and in the vicinity.
The mound was situated over a pahoehoe excavation which contained a soil deposit with midden. A 1.3
by 1.3 m unit was excavated into the mound in order to determine if it contained a burial. Beneath the
surface cobble fill, a 10 to 20 cm thick deposit of dark brown loam occurs containing marine shell
midden, flaked lithic materials and charcoal. Beneath this soil is a 5 em thick Layer of gray ash directly
overlying the bedrock floor of the pahoehoe excavation. The ash layer contained burned marine shell and
charcoal. A radiocarbon date of AD 1450 to 1954 is associated with the upper soil strata, and the ash
layer dates to AD 1260 to 1410.
Feature C is a modified outcrop (6.5 by 3. l by 0.6 m high) that is a filled pahoehoe depression faced
along the west side with a stacked wall. The wall is a single stone wide with cobble fill directly on the
east side. Vo portable remains or deposits were observed.
5
Site 13524 is a prehistoric/historic temporary habitation cave (15 by 4 by 0.9 m high) located 12 nt
south of Site 12428 Feature E. The tube is oriented NE-SW, with the entrance in a collapsed portion of
the tube, at the northeast end. The northeast half of the cave floor is covered with scattered and piled
rubble up to 35 cm high. A 10 cm thick deposit of brown silty loam occurs just inside the cave entrance.
The deposit is 3 by 2 m. Portable remains observed within the soil deposit include a pig tooth and
Cypraeidae fragments. A considerable amount of historic refuse (glass and tin cans) is inside the cave.
Site 13527 is a terrace (3.5 by 2.5 by 0.2 m high) of unknown function and age. I[ is roughly
rectangular located between two pahoehoe outcrop faces, and has medium to large pahoehoe cobbles and
boulders. The surface of the terrace is roughly flat and level, but is not paved. Milled lumber planks and
sheets of corrugated tin roofing are present immediately north of the terrace. This material is presumed
to be the remains of a structure that possibly stood on the terrace. No portable remains suggestive of
historic period habitation were, however, observed at the site, and no indigenous portable remains were
observed.
Site 13531 is a complex of 3 prehistoric permanent habitation features: a platform (Feature A), a
stone wall/possible enclosure (Feature B), and a cave shelter (Feature C). The overall complex is 80 by
25 m.
Feature A is a platform (6 by 4 by 1 m high) with 3 straight sides and the fourth following the natural
contours of the outcrop. The platform perimeters are stacked and aligned boulders and nobbles. Platform
fill consists of cobbles; the surface slopes toward the northeast. do portable remains or deposits were
observed on the platform.
Feature B is a wall (13 by 9 by 0.8 m high) in 2 sections that may have been connected at one time.
Intact portions of the wall are bifaced. The wall has a slight notch in the west side (at the south end of
the faced portion). A possible opening with boulder alignments along the sides is present 2.3 m from the
south end. \o portable remains or deposits were observed on or around the wall sections.
Feature C is a habitation cave (38 by 10 by 2 m high) with the entrance at the northeast end, in a
collapsed section of the tube. A boulder mound is present at each side of the entrance. The mounds are
1.4 m apart, and serve to reduce the width of the entranceway. The mound on the west side is stacked
one to three courses, with a maximum height of 60 cm. The southeast side of the mound is faced and the
southwest side was probably faced prior to the collapse. The mound on the east side of the entrance is
situated mostly interior of the dripline. I[ is stacked 2 to 5 courses high, faced on three sides, and abuts
bedrock at the southeast side. A short wall (1 m long) extends from the east side of the mound to the wall
of the lava tube. This wall is 2 courses high and 2 boulders wide, with faced sides. East of the entrance
is a small opening (70 by 40 cm) that leads into a small chamber (5 by 4 m). Recent historic rubbish is
present in this chamber, as well as a soil deposit, which may contain cultural material. Eight meters from
the entrance along the nortliwest wall of the tube is a small enclosure with stacked, semi-faced walls.
The interior of the enclosure is Bleared of rubble, and a soil deposit is present.
In the center of the tube, a small portion of the floor has been partially cleared of roof fall. The
rubble appears to have been randomly tossed to the sides. The deposit here is a fairly Level soil area with
7arketi nut shell. Against [he northwest wall in this area is a roughly rectangular pile of cobbles. There
are a number of rough excavations with associated backdirt piles in the soil deposit. These are presumed
to be the work oT looters. A smaller tube extends oft the main tube to the south. There is a lot of roof
fall at the entrance of this side tube and visual examination at the entrance showed no internal
modifications. Opposite [he entrance of the smaller tube, along the northwest side wall, is another
b
cleared area or excavated depression. This depression is situated in a roughly rectangular-shaped,
cobble-filled terrace. About 30 m from the entrance in the main tube, a stacked wall is constructed
across the width of the tube. This wall is constructed at an angle to the side walls and is oriented east to
west. The wall is partially faced on both sides with small boulders. It does not appear to have been large
enough to seal off the remainder of the tube, and it is presently collapsed. Portable remains observed in
the cave include marine shell midden, la~kui nut shell, fish and bird bone, an Echinoidea abrader and a
volcanic glass core.
j2) RESEARCH TOPIC
The impot2ance of animal remains in the archaeological record is widely recognized (Wing and
Brown 1979), and subsistence related studies have grown in number and variety since their inception in
the late 1950s. Subsistence data can provide information on diet, nutrition, health, availability of food
resources, modes of production, institutional manipulation of resources, impacts to the environment
including domestication of plants and animals, and more. The context, as well as the content, of the
subsistence data provide the basis for undersiandin« prehistoric subsistence practices and patterns.
The composition of subsistence assemblages in Hawaiian archaeological sites varies with site
location, duration of occupation, types of activities conducted, and associated rank of residing groups
(Gordy 1981; Kirch L979, 1985; Kolb 1991). Repeated short-term use of shelters near the shoreline at
Kalahuipua'a, Island of Hawaii, have left faunal assemblages dominated by shellfish remains,
representing 90% of total meat value of the midden. Dag and pig are virtually absent from these short-
term, marine exploitation occupations. Dog and pig are expected to occur more frequently at permanent
agricultural settlements (2osendaht 1973; Kirch 1975; Newman 1973). The presence of fishing gear in
upland settlements also indicates that people were involved in subsistence procurement in areas away
from their residences (Newman 1972). Mammal remains, especially dog and pig, are also more likely to
be associated with high nankin„ and permanent habitations (Gordy 1981; Hammatt et al. 1993).
Results eY test excavations in a variety of feature types in the Henry Street Commercial Project area
indicate that subsistence remains and subsistence procurement tools are present (Donham and Walker
1990; Falter and Rosendahl 1991; ]ensen and Jimenez 1994) (Tables ~ and 3). Tested contexts are
routinely described as rich in artifacts and midden (Eager and Rosendahl 1991). Most of the occupations
in the project area were permanent habitations and one site, 5609, was been interpreted as a kouhale
complex and possible chiefly residence (Donham and Walker 1990; Hammatt et al. 1993; Kamakau
1961; Kzlly 1983). During late prehistory and early historic times, Che project area was within the core of
Kailua which was the residential district of many chiefs (Donham and Walker 1990).
The research focus for the present data recovery effort is vertebrate subsistence remains. To develop
specific hypotheses for the research, several studies, which produced sizable vertebrate assemblages From
sites in the general vicinity of the project area, are examined. Excavations conducted during SchiII's
(1984) archaeological study of the Kuakini Highway Realignment Corridor yielded vertebrate bone from
15 habitation sites. The earliest dated habitation sites were occupied between L00 and 1400. Most of
the prehistoric sites were occupied during the 1600-1700s and three sites were occupied during historic
times.
Collins in Schilt (1984) identified eight fish families (Muraenidae, Sparidae, Labridae, Scaridae,
Acanthuridae, Balistidae, Monocanthidae, Diodontidae) all inshore dwelling taxa and no pelagic fish.
Monocanthidae (Pewagor spp.) and Scaridae (Scares spp. and Calotanuts spp.) were the most common
[axa (29% each) based minimum number of individuals (MNI) counts. Labridae (Thalasson+a spp.,

Bodianus spp., and Coris spp.) followed by Diodontidae and Acanthuridae (Nano spp.) were moderately
common (3-14%). The remaining three taxa were uncommon each comprising less than 5% of the fish
remains.
Avian vertebrates identified consist of seven bird families (Procellariidae, Hydrobatidae,
Phasianidae, Rallidae, Columbidae, Strigidae, and Corvidae). The relatively frequency of bird taxa was
not described presumably because VIIv'[ counts were very low. Of the 34 individuals counted, 29% were
Procellariidae (shearwaters and petrels), 24% Phasianidae (Gafher gallur), 21% Rallidae, and 18%
Strigidae (dsio flammears), 6% Corvidae (Cons nopicus), and a single historically-introduced dove
(Columbidae).
Non-avian terrestrial taxa consist of the prehistorically introduced domestic dog (Canis familm-isi
and pig (Sus scrofa), bat (Vespertilionidae), rats (Rattus spp.), a mouse (Meer muscular), and the.
historically introduced mongoose, goat and sheep. Collins using MDII counts and age estimates found that
the majority of pigs 123 of 34 individuals) were juveni]e and immature individuals indicating selectivity
in slaughtering. Approximately 30% of the dogs were juvenile or immature.
Collins suggests that the predominate method of cooking vertebrates was boiling or inurroasting
because most bones were not burned. Schilt generated concentration indices (CIs) for fish, birds, and
mammals at two habitation caves with stratified, dated deposits. The CI values (weight/volume), which
range from 0 to 143, indicate a marked decrease in fish and increase in mammals through time. The
trend is interpreted as a result oT the increasinn importance of leeward slopes "for gardens and seasonal
occupation" in late prehistory (1984~.3~0). The Schilt does not make any other intrasite vertebrate
assemblage comparisons and does no[ make any inrersite comparisons.
Hammett, Schidler, Chiogioji, and Borthwick (1993) report vertebrate remains Yrom 21 sites in
Lanihau2 and Vloeauoa 2 in Vorth Kona. The sttes include two site clusters of which at least one is
determined [o "definitely represent a kauhale complex° (1993:1). A pot7ion the kauhale complex (Site
5609, Feature G) is one of the sites proposed for data recovery. Radiocarbon dates from the sites range
from L00 to contact. Only one site evidenced a historic component. The sites range in elevation from
12 m to 52 m above sea level.
The excavations covered 93.3 square meters and resulted in [he recovery of approximately 1793
grams of bone including 617 grams of hsh, I7 grams of turtle, 59 grams of bird, and 1099 grams of
mammal. The fish remains consist of 12 taxa including Pervu~or spp. (Monocanthidae), Diadon sp.
(Diodontidae), Scaridae, Labridae, Acanthuridae, Balistidae, Carangidae, Scombridae, Cazcharhinidae
(requiem shark), Triaenodon sp. (white-'ipped shark), ray, and an undifferentiated shark ray category.
Most of the fish remains are reported to be shallow water reef fish. The sharks, rays, and Carangidae can
be caught in shallow or deep water, and Scombridae (single specimen) was "almost certainly taken in
deep water (pelagic) fishing" (1993:192).
The report gives relative abundance data for only three taxa, based upon frequency of occurrence by
arbitrary 10 cm levels. Weight values are given and no MNI data are provided except for Pervagor spp.
which is reported to be the most common taxon. Diodon sp. is the second most common followed by
Scaridae. Three interpretations are offered for the high frequency of Pervagor spp.; food, fire fuel, and
ritual offerin¢s.
Bird remains consist of Gallus gnli4a, at least two species of Procellariidae, Common Morehen
(Ga1lLiaa/a charopers), Pacitic Golden plover (Pluviaiis fi~iv,t), Hawaiian Owl, and a historically-
10
introduced dove. No data are provided regarding relative frequency of bird taxa. The prehistoric bird
bone, except Gallus ga!lus, are interpreted to be hunted food remains. Alternatively, owl remains are
suggested to represent "cultic° activity (Hammatt et al. 1993:194).
The relative composition of mammal taxa is given as a percentage of total mammal bone weight
Medium mammal, which assumed to be either dog or pig, constitutes 35.5% of the assemblage, followed
by 31.0% dog, and 30.5% pig. The remainder consists of small amounts of rat and the historically-
introduced cat and goat. The bone from a pig burial was excluded from the percentage values. This
burial is used as "the strongest piece of evidznce" (Hammatt et al. 1993237) For interpreting a feature as
a men's house (hale nrzaa)
The authors report that there was a "strong preference for immature dogs" (Hammatt et a1.
1943:196), and that dog remains, relative to pig, were more abundant than elsewhere in Kona, although
no supporting data are provided for either assertion. The abundance of dog is interpreted as status-related
"with more frequent consumption of status food (do¢) than [he more common pattern of consumption of
status foods only on special feast occasions -which might more typically be pig" (1993:196).
The report provides CI values for each feature; however, the values use the total midden weight
combining bone, marine shell, and plant remains. Tabular data are presented from which CI values for
vertebrates could be calculated with some effort. CI values of Izss than 500 ace interpreted as.
representing "short-term utilization' and values over 1000 represent "permanent, loner term, or recurrent.
habitation" (Hammatt et al. 1993:196).
Graves and Goodfellow (1993) recovered vertebrate remains during data recovery excavations at 55
sites in a 43 hectare parcel situated in Puapua'a 1st and and between 99 m and 229 m above sea level.
Radiocarbon dates from the project indicate initial use of the area as early as 400-650. The remaining
dates rangz between 1000 and 1950 and the majority between 1400 and 1700.
Over 1,700 grams of vertebrate bone was recovered consisting of 2,240 specimens. Based on
specimen counts, the vertebrate assemblage consists of 47.9% fish bone, 5.16% bird, 46.1% mammal,
and 0.8°% indetermiuate bone. The most common identifiable fish family was Diodontidae, followed by
Monocanthidae, Scaridae, and Labridae all primarily inshore taxa. Other inshore taxa identified include
Mullidae, Sparidae, Cirrhitidae, Acanthuridae, and Balis[idae. Offshore taxa were represented by
occasional bones of sharklray, Serranidae, large Carangidae, and Scombidae.
Most of the bird bone was only identifiable as small (68%) and large (13%) bird. Of the identifiable
taxa GalAa gall us (7%) the most common followed by Procellaridae (4.3%). Rallidae, Strigidae, and
small Passerifomt represent less than 2% each. The large bird remains include a large, possibly flightless,
goose-like bird. Previously thought to be prehistorically extinct, the remains appeared to be "thoroughly
burned and thus associatzd with humans"(Graves and Goodfellow 1993:60).
Nearly one half of the mammal remains were pig (47%) followed by small to medium mammal
(23%), rat (22%), and dog (2%). Minor amounts of historically-introduced taxa consisted of cow, goat or
sheep, large dog, and cat. The report indicates that "mortality profiles indicate" the use of adult dogs and
subadult pigs "a minimum of a few months old" although no supporting data are presented (Graves and
Goodfellow 1993:60).
CI values using count data are used to analyze the vertebrate assemblage by feature type. Habitation
terraces contained the highest values followed by enclosures, modified outcrops, C•shapes, and
platforms, and mounds. Terraces and enclosures had the most diverse assemblages. These data are
interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that terraces and enclosures represent "longer-term, or more
ftecluent habitations" compared [o the other feature types (Graves and Goodfellow 1993:61). CI values
are also used to examine temporal variation in the assemblage. Features occupied between 1400 and 1700
are found [o have markedly larger and more diverse vertebrate assemblages compared to features
occupied between 1000 and 1400, and after 1700.
Cordy, Tainter, Renter, and Hitchcock (1991) report on vertebrate remains recovered by excavations
in Kaloko Ahupua'a. Excavations were conducted at 20 sites near the coast, 11 sites between 30 m and
244 m elevation, and five upland sites above 610 m elevation. Nearly all oT'the vertebrate remains came
from the coastal sites with only 22 grams of bone coming from the middle elevation sites. Most of tho
sites were presumed to be occupied in late prehistory in the 1600s and 1700s. Many sites had a historic;
component.
Nearly 1900 grams oT vertebrate material was recovered. With [he exception of fish, which were
analyzed by Leach, Norwood, and Smith (1988), very little analysis was conducted on terrestrial
vertebrate material. Taxonomic composition of the terrestrial assemblage is limited to occasional notation
of pig, doe, or rat ~Ieaned from the excavators' notebooks. CI values far vertebrates are given which
range $rom 0-635 Verams per cubic meter. All sites with CI values higher than 50 had historic
components. Most of the vertebrate bone was recovered from sites interpreted as permanent habitations.
Fish bone from five sites consisted of 199 individuals in 16 families. Only 17 individuals represent
pelagic species, all small specimens of Thunnidae (Scombridae), Sphyraenidae, Carangidae, and
Coryphaenidne. Aluteridae (Dionocanthidae) comprised 51% of the collection followed by Scaridae
(15%), Muraenidae (8%), Labridae (6%) and Balistidae (3.5%). Four or fewer individuals represent
Acanthuridae, Lamniformes (mackerel shark), Lutjanidae, Elasmobrancii (shark), Holocentridae,
Diodontidae, and Tetraodontidae. Leach, Norwood, and Smith (1988) cited Titcombe (1972) as the
source for traditional use of Monocanthidae for food, fuel, and ritual.
Excavations were conducted at 34 sites in a 70 hectare project area located between 107 m and 213m
elevation on the slopes of Hualafai in Holuaioa, North Kona (Hammatt et al. 1992). Twenty six
habitations sites occur within the many agricultm~al feamres associated with the Kona Field System in
this location. Three habitations are interpreted as permanent residences (1 in a lava tube), and the rest are
temporary occupations [hat may be "`field hale' or specialized processing places and shelter throughout
the kola plots" (Hammatt et al. 1992:11=).
A limited variety and low quantity of vertebrate remains were recovered from four sites that were
selected for data presentation of the total 34 tested. Distribution of vertebrate remains among the other
30 sites is not presented in the report. Tabulated vertebrate data is grouped into three categories (fish,
bird, mammal), with weights provided (rounded to the nearest gram), but no count, iV9VI, or CI values.
Discussion in the text provides additional information on species present, without quantification.
A total of 107 grams of fish bone (43% of vertebrate assemblage tabulated) is presented for the 4
selected sites. The fish taxi present, Scaridae, Sparidae, Diodontidae, Monocanthidae, Balistidae,
Carcharhinidae, Mullidae, Carangidae, and Acanthuridae, represent a variety of marine habitats. A total
of 18 grams of bird bone (7°fo) was recorded. "There are no major deposits of either flightless birds or
sea birds" (Hammatt et al. 1992:103-104), although it is unclear whether there are indeed any n[ all,
based on the tabulated data and the ambiguous assessmenC. The authors comment that "little chicken"
was eaten (Hammatt e[ aI. l99?:104).
12
Mammal bone comprised 49% (122 grams) of the vertebrate assemblage. Rodent bone is most
common, with pig four times more frequent than dog. The researchers comment that "there seemed to be
selection for young pigs over more mature individuals" (Hammett et al. 1992:104), although ro
supporting data are given. They were cautious in their interpretations because of the mixed nature of the
deposits, scarcity of midden, and shallowness of the deposits. They interpret the paucity of bird and
mammal remains as evidence that [he sites occupants had a die[ low in protein.
Excavations a[ Kahalu'u Cave yielded a large volume and wide variety of ecofactual remains,
numerous and diverse features and artifacts, multiple cultural strata, and midden and artifacts reflecting
the full range of traditional Hawaiian domestic, technological, and exploitation activities. The site is
interpreted as a permanent habitation occupied continuously over 350 years from the 1400s to the Tare
1700s. The research goals for the investigations included the explication of the aboriginal marine
resource exploitation strategies, identification of [he specific resources exploited, and determining the
intensity of that exploitation. (Hay et al. 1946:3-40). The study included a detailed characterization of
aquatic environment and distribution of marine resources across different depths and oceanlbay settings
to provide a baseline for types of fishes and invertebrates available in Kahalu'u Bay.
Twenty-two tish families were identified: Acan[huridae, Apogonidae, Ba(istidae, Carangidae.,
Chaetodontidae, Cirrhitidae, Diodontidae, Holocentridae, Kyphosidae, Labridae, Lutjanidae.
Monocanthidae, Mullidae, Muraenidae, Ostracize, Pomacentridae, Priacanthidae, Scaridae, Scombridae,
Scaridae, Sphyraenidae, and shark Monocanthidae was most common by NISP (51.4%) and MS'I
(642%). Labridae (NISP=11.0%, MNI=7.0%) and Scaridae (NISP=9.6%, MNI=6.4%) were also
common, with Scombridae with an ~I of 3.1%, and the rest at MNI less than 2.4%.
A total of 17.92 grams of bird remains were recovered. Indeterminate medium-sized birds comprise
more than half (52%) of the assemblage by weight (MNI was not generated). Prehistorically-introduced
red jungle Yowl (Gallus gall us) (29%), and small and medium sized petrels (procellm~iid), including
Bulwer's petrel (Bultiveria buhrerii) (13%) are common at the site. Other identified avian taxa include
small rapids, Columbidae, and Meliphagidae.
The non-avian terrestrial vertebrate assemblage at Kahalu'u Cava is limited. Indeterminate
mammals comprise 40% of the mammal assemblage by weight (MNI was not generated). Pig (Sus scroja
and likely Artiodactyl) dominates the assemblage (41%), with prehistorically introduced domestic dog
{Canis fmniliaris) {17%) and rodents (Muridae and Ratttts exulans) (7%) common. Of the mammal bone
identifiable to at least family level, pig and dog made up the majority of the assemblage with Muridae
comprising the remainder. The researchers comment that "much of the canine and suid bone" is from
young animals suggesting population management (Hay et al. 1986:7b-4).
Henry, Jimenez, and Kirkendall (199b) report on test excavations conducted at over 100 sites in
conjunction with the proposed realignment of AIi'i Drive. The project area extends from Kahului 2nd to
Keauhou Ist, ranges in elevation from 9 m to I15 m, and encompasses an area of approximately 66
hectares. Vertebrate remains were recovered from permanent habitation features at 41 sites which were
dated to between the late 1300s and late 1800s. The vertebrate assemblaee was analyzed number of
identified specimens (NISP) values and MNI. No CI values were not. generated. The total weight of the
assemblage was approximately 740 grams (Kirkendall, personal communication).
Twenty-three fish families were identified: Acan[huridae, Apogonidae, Balistidae, Carangidae,
Cirrhitidae, Diodontidae, Holocentridae, Kuhiidae, Labridae, Lutjanidae, Monocanthidae, Mullidae,
13
Muraenidae, Congrldae, Fistulariidae, Ostraciidae, Pomacentridae, Priacanthidae, Scaridae, Scombridae,
Sphyraenidae, Tetraadontidae, and Chondrichthyes. Monocanthidae was most common by NISP (36.2°ro)
and MNI (29.8%). The next most common [axon was Balistidae (NISP=12.5%), followed by
Diodontidae (10.0%), Acanthuridae (4.6%), Scaridae (NISP=8.0%), Carangidae (6.2%), and
Chondrichthyes (3.7%).
Avian vertebrates identified consist of seven bird families which, in order of NISP abundance,
consist of Phasianidae, Procellariidae, Passiferformes, and Sturnidae. Non-avian terrestrial taxa, also in
order of abundance consist of Muridae, pig, dog, mongoose, cat, and goatfsheep.
Tables 4 and S summarize the vertebrate assemblages from the seven cited studies. Table ~t
summarizes marine vertebrates and terrestrial vertebrates are summarized in Tabtz 5. The reported
relative frequency/abundance of a [axon is indicated by a number beginning with "Y' for the most
common one within each of the major categories; fish, birds, and mammals. Repetition of a number
indicates an equal $equeney for mare than one [axon. A plus sign (r) indicates present with no
indication of frequency.
Marine invertebrates are subdivided into reef fish, pelagic fish, and other marine categories. The
pelagic category includes taxa which can be caught in nearshore shallow water (e. g., barracuda,
shark ray). Six reef taxa (parrot Tish, file fish, porcupine fish, surgeon £sh, and wrasses) are very
common taxa identified by nemiy all six studies. Of these, file hsh are reported to be the most frequent
followed by parrot fish and porcupine fish. Moderately common reef taxa; goat fish, moray eel, porgies,
hawk fish and snappers; were idemited in roughly one half of the studies. The remaining inshore taxa
are uncommon in the studies. Seven deep water taxa were identified. Jacks and tuna/mackerels were
most common, followed by [he moderately common shark, barracuda, and shark/ray categories. Dolphin
fish and grouper were only identified in oae study as was turtle.
Chicken, shearwaCer/petrel, Rallid, owl, and dove were identified in four or more of the studies.
Chicken and shearwater/petrel were the most frequentlabundant bird remains, when quantified, followed
by owl, and dove. Perchinct~song bird was identified in two studies. The remaining avian taxa were only
identified in one study. All except the historically-introduced dove and myna are presumed to represent
food remains.
Pig, dog, and rat/mouse were identified in all of the studies. The remaining taxn are all historic
introductions. Of the only two taxa prehistericnlly used as food (dog and pig), pig is the most
frequent/abmrdant followed by dog. Several studies noted an apparent that young pies and dogs were
frequently eaten.
CI values based on midden weight divided by excavation volume were used in several studies.
Higher values are indicated for permanent habitations compared to temporary habitations. Schilt (1484)
uses CI values to demonstrate a decrease in fish and increase in mammals in late prehistory. Graves and
Goodfellow (1993) use CI values based on NISP instead of weight to show thnt habitation features
occupied between 1400 and 1700 have markedly larger and more diverse vertebrate assemblages than
features occupied prior Co, or after the period.
Based on the foregoing, the following expectations, or hypotheses, were fotxnulated for testing by the
data recovery work.

Vertebrate assemblages from permanent habitation sites occupied during Late prehistory and early history
are characterized as follows:
1. Inshore reef taxa minimally including parrot fish, file fish, porcupine fish, surgeon
fish, and wrasses dominate the marine vertebrate assemblage;
2. Pelagic species represent a minor component of the marine vertebrate assemblage
and minimally include jacks and tuna mackerels;
Ib
r
3. Avian remains are dominated by domestic chicken and hunted sheatwaters/petrels
and rapids;
4. Mammal remains ate dominated by pig and dog food remains and rodents;
5. A significant number (c. 30-50%) of the pig and dog remains are from young (non-
adu1Q animals;
6. ;Marine vertebrates are most abundant based upon vL~iI and NISP followed by
mammals and birds; and
7. Mammals (pig and dog) are more abundant in high status residential middens than
in low status middens.
Temporal trends in vertebrate subsistence patterns are characterized by:
i. A decrease in the abundance of fish remains and an increase in mammals remains
through time (beeinning c. 1650); and
2. Vertebrate assemblages from sites occupied between 1400 and 1700 are more
diverse and larger Than those from sites occupied aarlier or latter.
In addition to testing these hypotheses regarding the composition of and temporal variation in
vertebrate assemblages, the proposed research will examine deposition patterns of vertebrate food
remains. Previous studies are almost exelusively based on excavations conducted in the interior of
structures. Diet reconstruction is implicitly based on the assumption that the recovered remains are
representative of the food consumed 6y the structures occupants. The vertebrate remains recovered from
structure interiors presumably represent food remains that have accumulated on, or under, the floors of
residential structures. Such remains potentially represent accidental discards of food remains as opposed
to intentionally disposed food reliase. The latter disposal presumably took place outside of a residential
structure. The proposed research will attempt to locate and recover midden remains from the interior and
exterior of residential features and determine if the assemblages are similar quantitatively and
qualitatively.
~3) DATA NEEDED TO ADDRESS RESEARCH GOALS
Data required for addressing the research questions outlined above must be derived from the
controlled excavation of habitation deposits, the recording of precise stratigraphic associations, [he
recording and sampling of subsurface fearures, and finally the laboratory analyses of recovered materials.
The research goals necessitate the identification and retrieval of representative samples of subsistence
materials from datable and unmixed depositional contexts. Accordingly, Che investigations conducted
within such must emphasize recovery based upon strict vertical control. Recovered data will include
portable items such as artifacts and foodlmidden remains, and samples for radiocarbon dating. Recording
should include non-portable evidence for structures and features include soil staining, stone alignments,
pavements, and hearths. stratigraphic information in the form of detailed profiles is also needed.
Infotmation pertaining to the research orientation of this project is not contained in all sires
originally sated for data recovery (see Table 1). No further field work will be conducted at the wall sites
(5056, 7276, ]?429). ~VaII features within other sites (5609, 13521, 13531, 13536) will not require
17
additional archaeological investigations. No further field work will be conducted at agricultural sites
(13536, 13539, 13541, 13542), and one small site (13525) that was tested and found not to contain
burials. No further work will be conducted during Data Recovery within the sites that contain burials
(Sites 5057, 12414, 13518, 13526, 13535 j. A Burial Treatment Plan is currently under preparation.
Some subsistence information has already been recovered from features containing burials (Falter
and Rosendahl 1991). At the explicit request of DLNR (Appendix .d), and as planned and committed to
in (Falter and Rosendahl 1991), the date retrieved from the tests at the potential burial sites will be
analyzed and reported on. The most efficient and useful way to approach the results of the Falter and
Rosendahl (1991) investigations is to include i[ within the investigations conducted during data recovery
outlined in this mitigation plan; one report will be submitted for [he combined investigations. This
approach will reduce redundancy in reporting and production, and provide a research context for the
Falter and Rosendahl (1991) results.
The proposed teld investgations for the data recovery will focus on the habitation features. In
addition, subsistence remains from previously tested features that contain burials will provide additional
information on types, densiry, and distribution of subsistence items. Consequently, data recovery field
work will be conducted at 6 sites in the project area. Aerial excavations are prefersed in this mitieation
program, and are recommended by the DLNR (.dppendis d), to facilitate the retrieval of the maximum
contextual and material inforn~ation. Excavations will be located in areas where subsistence remains are
likely to have been processed, consumed, or disposed of: 1) within t]oor areas of habitation enclosures,
platforms, and terraces; 3) within soil areas in caves; and 3) in soil areas surrounding habitation features.
A 20% smnple of the interior floor areas oT the habitation enclosures, platforms, and terraces will be
excavated. Various percentages of the soil areas within the two caves with will excavated, based on the
extent of the deposits. Atrial excavations will be conducted in soil areas around structures based on
results of shovel tests in these soil areas. Details on site excavation strategies follows Tables 6 and 7.
The results of previous excavations will be incotpora[ed into the analysis and resem~ch approach for
this project (Table 6). In many cases, the previous tests are located in sites that were Tound to contain
burials, and will not be excavated further. In some cases, previous tests indicated that no burials were
present and this was sufficient to determine that sufficient data had been collected at these locations. For
Site 13521, [he previous tests will constitute a portion of the proposed 20% sample.
Site 5609 Itas been largely excavated (Hammett et al. 1993), and much of the area around the site has
been bulldozed. The majority of the site is located beyond the current project area, and has been
previously investigated (Hammett et al. 1993). One habitation feature, Feature G, appears to remain
intact in the current project area, however (Donham and Walker 1990:A-4). The Feature G platform
probably is directly related to the katahale previously described at length (Hammett et al. 1993).
Excavations at Feature G can contribute to the thorough delineation and understanding of the residential
complex by building on the results of excavations of the other features at the site (Hammett et al. 1993).
Excavations at Feature G will consist of the detailed mapping and establishing the physical relationship
to [he remainder of the previously-excavated complex.
Feature G was originally described as 8.3 by 7.0 m, but only about 80% (about 46 m') is still intact
(Donham and Walker 1990. Five 2 m by 1 m contiguous units will be dug, for a total of 10 mz (22%).
Units will be located in the portion of the platform furthest from bulldozer impact. The units will be
contiguous to provide an inspection of contextual relationship between wall morphology and internal
distribution of deposits and material remains. Information from Feature G will be examined within the
context of the previous investigations at Site 5609 (Hammett et al. 1993).

Site 13517 is an enclosure 11 by 9 m (about 100 m2). The internal floor area is about 6 by 4 m (24
m2). Soils are present within the pahoehoe flow to the north, west, and south of the site. A portion of the
floor area (5 m2) will be excavated in five 1 by 1 m contiguous units. Excavation of one quarter of.the
feature interior will ensure that a substantial quantity of subsistence remains are retrieved from the
structtue.
Subsistence processing, use, and disposal activities probably took place immediately surrounding the
structure. A series of shovel tests and test excavations will be conducted in the soils areas arotmd the
structure to assess the distribution of subsistence materials related to, but not contained within, the
structure. The field strateey for testing and collecting data in the area surrounding this, and other
selected sites (Table 7), wilt
follow the procedures outlined below.

A study zone will be established within a perimeter that is located 10 m beyond the exteriors of sites
with surface stone structure(s). A sketch map of the study zone will be made for each area to be tested,
and will include Che location of bedrock outcrops, soil, disturbance, and any new or modified cultural
features. Shovel tests will be conducted in the areas of undisturbed soil. Shovel test transects will be
located perpendicular to each of the sides of the structure (n=4 transects), and radiating diagonally from
the corners (n=4 transects), for a total of 3 transects for each structure. Two additional transects will be
used for larger sites where the length is greater than 1.5 times the width of the structure. Shovel tests will
be conducted at 2 m intervals along each transect beginning 2 m from the exterior of the structure. There
will be a maximum of 5 shovel tests for each transect extending to the 10 m study zone perimeter. A
maximum of 40 shovel tests will be conducted at smaller sites, and a maximum of 50 shovel tests will be
dug at larger sites.
The goal of the shovel testing is to assess the presence and density of subsistence remains that may
be located around the structures, and provide guidance for the placement of aerial excavations around the
structure exterior. The soil from the tests will be screened in 114 inch hardware mesh. Assessments of
gross categorses present (mammal bona, fish bone, bird bone, unknown bone, marine shell, terrestrial
shell, unknown shell) will be made in the field. Relative quantities (none, few, many) for each category
will also be made in the field. The color, texture, and depChs of the soils observed in the test protiles will
be recorded. The tests will be dug, and material segregated, in 20 om arbitrary levels. Controlled hand

excavations of up to 8 m' of aerial exposure (4 mZ for small Si[e 13527, and for disturbed Site 5604
Feature G} will be conducted over the shovel tests that yield the greatest density, or greatest diversity of
subsistence remains, or indicates [he presence of subsistence-related fearures such a hearth or imu.
Site 13521 is a wall (that will not be investigated), and two platforms. Exterior dimensions for one
platform is 6 by 5 m (30 m''), and the other is 8 by 6.5 (52 m The floor area of each platform is
estimated to be about 20 m' and 38.5 m' based on the assumption that the facing and larger stones along
the perimeter of the structures constitute walls and not floor space. Previous excavations at the site
exposed 4.6 mz. An additional 8 m' in the central area contiguous with the previous tests in both
platforms will be excavated to reach the 20% sample. Excavation of a large percentage of the platform
area will ensure that a substantial quantity of subsistence remains are retrieved.
A series of shovel tests will be conducted around the platforms. Eight m~ will be excavated in the
area where the shovel tests yield the ¢reatest density, ar greatest diversity of subsistence-related
materials, near each of the platforms.
Site 13524 is a cave (15 by 4 by 09 m high) with a small soil deposit (3 by 2 m and 1D cm thick) just
inside the cave entrance that contains at least a pig tooth and Cypraeidae fragments, in addition to a
considerable amount of historic refuse (glass and tin cans). Additional prehistoric remains may occur
within the 6 m' of soil deposit in the cave. Half of the snit deposit will be excavated in three 1 by 1 m
contiguous units. This should ensure that a representative sample of the subsistence remains from the
cave area retrieved.
Site 13527 is a 3.5 by ?.5 m terrace (about 9 m'"). A 2 m' area (22%) will be dug in the terrace, and
a series of shovel tests will be conducted around the terrace. A 2 mr unit will be excavated over the
shovel tests that yield the greatest density, or greatest diversity of subsistence-related materials.
Excavation of a large portion of the terrace interior, and tests in the soils surrounding the site will ensure
that a substantial quantity of subsistence remains are retrieved.
Site 13531 is a platform, wall, and cave. A portion of the (24 m~ exterior dimensions, IS mr door
area based on presence of 0.5 m thick perimeter) platform will be excavated in contiguous units covering
a total of 3 m~ (20%). The approximately 70 mZ area within the walls, and the area between the platform
and the wall area will be shovel tested to assess the density and distribution of subsistence remains
around the site. Eight m~ will be excavated over the shovel tests that yield the greatest density or
diversity of subsistence remains.
The cave is large, 38 by 10 m (380 m~} by 2 m high, nod contains internal features and material
remains. Excavation will concentrate on areas with formal features and areas that are likely to contain
the most subsistence remains. Prior to excavation, the entire cave will be photographed, and all cultural
material wilt be collected from the cave floor after being mapped in. Areas to be excavated include: (1) a
small chamber on the east side of the cave entrance (3 m'), (2) a soil deposit within a small enclosure
along the west cave edge (4 m-), (3) a portion of the area around the kukui nut scatter in fhe center of the
cave (8 m"), and (4) areas on the cave door to be deteanined based on inspection during field work.
Previous investigations noted that the floor has been disturbed and looted; few intact deposits are
expected. A maximum of ten mr will be excavated, in addition to those areas outlined in (I) through (3}
above. Total excavated area for the cave is projected to be 25 m~ (7% of cave floor), and will provide a
substantial quantity of subsistence remains from a variety of contexts within the cave.
21
Subsistence remains are more likely to be preserved in cave contexts. Items not often recovered rn
archaeological contexts may survive in the sealed and drier cave setting, making the excavation of cave
deposits an important element of the research context for this project. Intact stratified deposits may also
occur within the cave, providing an opportunity to observe changes in subsistence patterns over time
(4) FIELD AND LABORATORY METHODS
Field Methods
Photographs will 6e taken before, during, and after excavation. Plan maps will be updated for those
features and sites that have been modified since Ias[ investigated, or if the investigations determine that
previous maps misrepresented portions of the sites. Units will be excavated according to cu(turallnatural
stratigraphic layers. If necessary, excavation by arbitrary 10 cm levels will be employed for thick or
stratigraphieally complex layers, or where culturalJnatural layers cannot be clearly identified during
excavation. All fill will be screened through il4-inch and 118-inch screen. A 100°/a sample of the 114-inch
material will be analyzed. Due to the expected high quantity of material expected to be retained in the 113
screen, a sample oT the 1J3-inch screened material will analyzed. Subsurface features will be
numbered sequentially within excavations. The features will be plan mapped, excavated, and sampled for
laboratory analysis samples. When possible, given the comes of cone-meter-square excavation unit,
subsurface features will be sectioned, and appropriate cross-section drawings will be prepared.
Field documentation will include recording the horizontal and vertical provenience of recovered
portable materials and samples, and the subsurface features and strata encountered. These data will be
recorded on standard archaeological excavation grid and feature forms. Plan view and stratigraphic
section drawings will be made to scale, as appropriate. Cross-section drawings will be prepared for a
minimum of one face within each excavated unit. Layer descriptions wil] be compiled through a
combination of field examination and subsequent laboratory analysis of representative fill samples, in
accordance with Munsell Color Notation and V.S. Soli Conservation Service guidelines. Locations of all
excavation units will be plotted on the appropriate site map. Where present, samples of datable materials
(charcoal) will be collected for age determination analysis.
Laboratory Methods
The context and kind of material remains recovered Trom previous additional tests in the project area
(Eager and Rosendahl 1991) will be analyzed during the current investigations. In many cases, data from
the previous work pertains directly to the research topic. Subsistence remains were observed and
recovered from matrix associated with burial and non-burial contexCS. Because burial features will not be
excavated during data recovery, the results of the previous investigations will provide important
information on the distribution of subsistence remains from areas beyund those identified in the section of
this plan above. Incorporation of the previous results will particularly useful in examining subsistence
patterns in habitation areas that also contain burials (Site 13526), and for sites where the testing program
has ah'eady excavated the majority of site (Site 13525).
All artifacts and midden remains recovered during screening will be cleaned and sorted in the
laboratory. Artifacts wil] be sketched (when appropriate), clnssified as to type and material, weighed, and
characterized in terms of metric attributes. Analysis of midden remains will focus on the analysis of
vertebrate subsistence remains including weights, NISP, MNI, and CI for all contexts. All specimens
21
1
will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible, and characterized as to the size and age of
animal when possible. MeaUbody weight estimations will be developed dependent upon the extent and
degree of preservation of the assemblage. This analysis will be carried out with the assistance of Dr. Alan
Zeiglar and Dr. Diane Trembly.
Marine shell midden from a one meter square excavation unit from each tested feature will be sorted
and weighed by major category (e. g., bivalves, gastropods), with identifications made to the most specific
levels appropriate or possible. The unit will be selected based on its representativeness of overall feature
stratigraphy.
Absolute and relative methods of dating will be used to further refine the chronological framework
for the deposits. Dating is a critical element of the research design. An attempt will be made to acquire
adequate dating samples from every feature excavated. The techniques, and the rationale, to be used are
as follows:
L Radiocarboer (C-l4) assay provides an estimate of the absolute age of materials
analyzed, subject to the limitations of the sample under study. Wood charcoal
provides high-quality radiocarbon dates, but often is not found in significant
amounts in the region. Where necessary, in the case of very small or diffuse
samples, extended counter time, or an accelerated (Aiv15) method, or both will be
used. A maximum of 50 (estimated 10 per site) will be submitted to Beta Analytic
Inc. for analysis; and
3. Sh-atigraphic methodr provide a means for estimating the age of a particular
sediment layer based on (a) superposition, (b) the presence of historic or prehistoric
nrchaeological artifacts, or (3) remains of animals or plants known or believed to
have been introduced to the by humans. These animals can be used as "index
fossils" to permit classification ot" a stratigraphic layer as "prehuman" (no adventive
species), as prehistoric (prehistoric adventives, no historically adventive taxa), or as
modem (historic-phase adventive species present). Although soil mixing can
introduce inaccuracies into such conclusions, careful s[rati~raphic control during
excavation will minimize such problems.
(5) DISPOSITION OF COLLECTIONS
Copies of £~eld notes, photographs, reports, and corespondence generated by this project will be kept
a[ PHRI in Hilo. Archaeological materials retrieved during these investigations [hat are not associated
with burial contexts, will be temporarily housed at the PHRI repository in Hilo. Any human skeletal
remains that may be encountered will be handled following the procedures of 6E-43, and not be housed at
the PHRI facilities. After notification from the DLNR Chat compliance with the appropriate regulations
for this project has been completed, PHRI and the client will determine the final disposition of original
records and materials in consultation with the DLVR as outlined in 13-278-11: Rules Governing Minimal
Standards for Archaeological Data Recovety Studies and Reports. The client will be responsible for
insuring that adequate funds are allocated for the appropriate level of materials and records curation_
23
(6) PROCEDURES FOR TREATMENT
OF HUMAN SKELETAL REMAINS
The disposition of human skeletal remains within the project area is currently being deterntined in
consultation with [he Burial Council pursuant to 6E-43. Additional human skeletal remains may be
encountered within the project area during the implementation of the mitigation plan. To insure that
compliance with this statute is met, tite DLNR-SHPD will be notified as soon as possible upon
encountering human skeletal remains in the field. Subsequent excavations within the vicinity will cease
until the appropriate consultation has been completed.
INTERIM PRESERVATION PLAN
Archaeological features and sites to be preserved due to the presence of burial remains (Sites 5057,
12414, 13513, 1326, and 13534) will be treated in the following manner while archaeological
investigations are being conducted. A Berial Treatment Plan is currently undec preparation that will
provide interim preservation measures to be observed after the archaeological Data Recovery has taken
place.
• Establish a 10 m buffer zone around the burial sites. The buffer zone will be marked with
flagging tape. No activity will be allowed within the buffer zone areas.
• Provide instruction and orientation for Che archaeologists conducting the Data Recovery to
ensure that the burial sites are located and avoided during these investigations.

Archaeological Data"Recovery Plan
' Keopu, North Kona
Inclusion of the 1991 PHRI Test Escavatioas Work in the Data Recovery Plan
We understand that one problem in developing your research question background is the
lack of information about the 1991 PHRI test z~cavations. Normally, you would have
information on the results of that work. But since the PHRI report was accepted. with the
understanding that the test results would be included in the final Data Recovery Report,
there is no recourse but to work with what information currently exists.
However, before we can approve ycur Dana Recovery Plan there must be a comrrutment
from your client to complete a report on the test e.•ccavatiens underaken by PHRI in 1991
and briefly desuibed in the 1991 report by Mikele Fager and Paul Resendahl entitled
Addirioreal Arclraeological Inventory Survey Testing of Potential Burial Features De Lut
Kmuz Center Development Site. We don't care how your client chooses to do this, but
either you or PHRI will have to produce an acceptable report on this earlier wcrk. In your
data recovery plan, it should be clear who will do that work, when the report is scheduled
for completion, and briefly the scope of the laboratory and analysis work. Yeu or your
client should indicate to us in writing the plan and schedule for completing a report on the
1991 PHRI testing project. We •,vill not approve the current plan until we have a firm
commitment in writing that a report on that work will be forthcoming in a timely manner.
Finally, if the Hawaii Island Burial Council should agree to the distermeat of any of the
burials in the project area, then the current plan would may have to be amended if you
think that data recovery investigations might also be required after the burials are removed.
The information from the eariier work that is relevant to your research quesr'on should be
included in your final report. Thus, if PHRI should be awarded a contract to complete
their 1991 project, you mur have access to the records and collections relevant to your
research question, so you can fully address your question. This should be spelled out in
your data recovery plan.

THE RESEARCH QUESTION TO BE STUDIED IN THIS DATA RECOVERY
WORK
Clear Identification of the Question
You still need to clearly identify your question. You seem td include three questions - (1}
vertebrate and marine mollusc subsistence patterns, (2) volcanic glass exchange
(sourcing/chemical make-up) and (3) changes in agricultural patterns affected by a major
prehistoric ashfall. We strongly urge that you select but one question. The easiest to
analyze and the one with the most potential seems to be vertebrate and marine mollusc
subsistence patterns. It is clear that such remains are present, and studies in the
immediate vicinity have plenty of relevant information. In contrast, volcanic Blass
exchange require looking at a much wider regional picture and the third question requires
looking at agricultural sites of which very few are in this project area.
You could even reduce the problem down father to vertebrate subsistence patterns.
Clear Identification of the Properties to be Studied
The tables that you include are still very confusing. Simply include a list of sites (and
features) that you propose to study these questions at. If it is a sample of the entire set of
sites slated for data recovery, sav that in your text and justify why the sample was chosen.
Again, while we have already indicated that it is unnecessary to conduct further
investigations of all ZO of the sites recommended for further data collection in the 1°Q4
Jensen and Jimenez report, there should be some specific rationale for the six sit:.s that
you have selected.
Amplifying on the Research Question
(I) The research question has to summarize relevant information on the question from
sites in the project area, the ahupua'a and the relevant region. The focus on vertebrate and
marine mollusc subsistence patterns as a research problem is fine, because few have looked
at this question closely in recent years. However, this means you do not simply list the
raw data, but you show the patterns that appear. These can be presented as hypotheses on
past behavior, based on prior archaeological findings. For example, a basic starting point
aught be identify the species exploited, identify the extent of complete individuals present
(and things like their age and size variability), identify variability between sites, and
identify possible explanations for that variability (e. g., social status differences, variations
in household exploitation patterns, sampling problems due to the lack of e~ctensive
excavation in stzuctures, sampling problems due to preservation of some remains, sampling
problems due to butchering of remains elsewhere). Not all these paints need inclusion,
but the data need to be looked at for relevant questions, the patterns identified, and
8
hypotheses formulated. We would expect this summary to be more than a paragraph or
two; it should be fairly detailed.
Test Implications
You need to identify specific test implications for the hypotheses. What information will
answer the questions?
Field and Laboratory Methods to Gather the Test Implication Data
(1) You need to identify specific methods field and laboratory that will be used to
gather the needed test implication information.
(2) We recommend that you conduct areal or horizontal excavations rather than the usual
discontinuous, isolated test pits. You, thus, need to discuss the proposed excavation areas
for each site in terms of some kind of sampling scheme intended to address the questions
and gather the relevant information.
(3) Under laboratory analyses, you mention artifact analyses. We do not see how this
relates to your research question. It needs to be clear.
(-4) Wood charcoal identification can provide valuable information, but if this kind of
analysis is going to be done it should be tied directly to a research problem. We do not
currently see how this is relevant to a question of vertebrate and marine mollusc
subsistence parerns. Also, we need to know who is going to do the analysis.
(S) Lab analysis of mammal bone to identify body parts represented seems important (as
would be the cases for other vertebrates). However, we do not see the relevance of shift
from temporary to permanent residence postulated for Keahole Point. Clearly, if that is
one pattern of subsistence, it needs to be clarified under the discussion of the research
question.
(6) With reference to our comments above, you need to tie the proposed basaltic glass
sourcing study to the sole research problem and tell us who is going to unde.~take the
analysis. If subsistence is the focus, then probably this analysis is not relevant.
(11) How many radiocarbon dates do you plan on getting for each site?
Data Base Component of the Data Recovery Plan
One aim of the data recovery should be documenting basic data base information, not
directly related to the research questions.
• i
(1) For example, for some, or perhaps all, of the sites you plan to excavate it maybe
necessary to produce a new map and site description. Each site should also be
photographed before, during and after excavation. Some of the mare illustrative photos
should be included in the final report.
(2) You will clearly recover artifacu and remains not directly relevant to the research
questions. They must be minimally described and analyzed by provenience and archived.
Volcanic glass, bulk soils, etc. would fall into this area. For the volcanic glass and other
lithics the analysis should at the minimum consist of distinguishing cores and flakes and if
possible tools (edge altered flakes or cores).

Program Henry Street Commercial Project, Data Reco~~ery Plan
and Interim Sire Preservation Plan" («~olforth and Haun 1997)
Keopu 1 and ~'IoeauDa 2, Vorth Kona. Hawaii Island
T~IK: 7-~-Od: 6, 13
Thank you for your letter of December 9, 1991, together ~.vith the above referenced document for
our review and comment.
The interim prote~~tion plan, to protect burials solely while the archaeologists are doing the data
recover}I, is acceptable-
The data recovers plan is senerally acceptable. The research question or topic of looking more
closely at consumption of vertebrates is one that is rarely focused On, and we certainly approve
this as a topic of focus- We like the proposal for a horizontal focus of field investigation, and
your approach to look outside the stractures for disposal areas (via shovel tests) and then to test
outside- Your proposal to do this work at a sample of sires (6 sites), to allow time and cost for
horizontal ~~ork is acceptable Y"our proposed lab work includes looking at a sample of mollusc
remains, dofnl7 meat;bodv wei~~ht estimates, and processing a maximum of 50 radiocarbon dates.
It is not quire clear ~~hy you are proposing lookin, at a sample of molluscs. but this is acceptable
as a data base reporting step- The meat/body weight estimations are not discussed earlier, but we
will basically allow you to follow up on this point as it is relevant. It would have been useful to
explain why so rrlam~ radiocarbon dates are needed, but it is clear that several sites have multiple
features (so ii say .features ~~ere present per site, L features would need dates, and four dates
per feature might ~.vell be merited). Thus, we will not object to the proposal.

We do have some concerns with how you will look at the general research topic. You have
summarized the findings from a number of projects and indicated general patterns. Our concerns
are mostly points on fully covering prior work and the topic. We propose to handle them by
approving the data recovery plan, with the understanding that your firm will include the following
items in the analysis and daza recovery report.
L The other projects contain different types of habitation sites permanent and/or temporary
habitations. For example, Schilt's is mostly temporary habitations. We will require that in your
report, when you revie~,v the current state of knowledge on the research topic, that you summarize
tmdings by permanent and temporan~ habitations. to first see what kinds of variation evst within
those types LL'e also will require that you review in that report section the findim~s by site within
those cater*ories. sc the re :der can see the variation that exists between the sites Similarly, we
will require that in the nnalvsis of your sites. you first looms at sites by limctional type, before
movin« to kugher lecelgeneralizations. Our impression from the literature and recent work on
Maui (Kolb et al for Kulal is that there is considerable variation from site to site within one
functional type (say permanent habitation). If one lumps ail permanent habitations,
generalizations can oe made, but the variations need noting also. Additionally. we request that
you look at cave :=r,dings vs_ other types. as there seems likely to be diriering patterns in caves.
If you do eoml;are differences 'oenveen social ranks. be sure that either the prior work has a
solid basis for determining sodai ranks of sites (independent of faunal remains) or that you do
such a determination vourselves-
3_ For temporal patterns, we want to caution the conclusion that fish, bird or land mammals
decrease or inereasa in sites. Their percentages may drop. but the amounts may be the sane. Be
sure that this problem is allowed for. Be sure that axe of the sites is carefully discussed ir,.
reviewing the prior work and in presenting your work.
4. W'e will require that you look at artifacts which are related to the vertebrate remains, to help
evaluate consumption patterns (e g., fishing gear being mostly near-shore vs. pelagic).
LL'e expect a discussion on the amount of the animals present. For example, for pigs. does it
seem as if the sites- contain only small fragments? Does this mean the pigs were butchered
elsewhere and onh~ small portions were brought back° Is there evidence of butcherinu? Or, is the
pattern a result of poor preservation of the remains' Some discussion of this point should occur.
6. ?.gain, this project is to also complete a report on the previous test excavations for which the
fieldwork portion has been completed but not the laboratory analysis and writeup of the results.
Some data base recording of walls is needed. This is minimal work, and we recommend that
you use the same approach that you employed in the Gomes Psrcel survey in Kahului (i e_, take
some additional photographs and measurements. and add to the previous description)-

Assuming that these points are acceptable for inclusion within this data recovery project, 'we
approve the data recovery plan. We look forward to a careful analysis of vertebrate patterns in
prior projects in the general Kona area and to the findings from your project area. A close look at
vertebrate patterns and how to analyze such finds in Hawaiian archaeological sites will
provide new information and new approaches to this topic. It will benefit Hawaiian archaeology
and the general public.
If you have any questions about our review comments please contact Patrick McCoy (537-0006).
