PC-98 Page 3 March 5, 1998 circulated. Draft 2 also deleted Condition H because the northern boundary is undeveloped and there are no plans available for the adjoining property to which a roadway can be linked. Bill No. 186 was deferred until a public hearing could be held in Kona to heaz the concerns of the local residents. The public hearing was held on February 10, 1998 at the Kona Surf Resort and Country Club. At today's meeting, Bill No. 186, Draft 3 was circulated. Draft 3 restored the original Condition H, which was deleted in Draft 2, and amended it a bit further to read as follows: [A roadway] Roadway connection( to the adjoining parcel of the subject property's northern boundary shall be provided,jf such subdivision roads are dedicated to the coun(X. in a manner as req nL'red by the planning Department in consultation [meeting] with the [approval of theJ Department of Public Works, and shall be delineated on the final subdivision plat map for the subject property. There was a concern about Condition H because the Subdivision Code is currently being revised, so the language proposed in Draft 3 creates a leeway for any Subdivision Code changes. Testimony received at today's meeting favored the development of this KIC project. Written testimony asked for a deferral on this bill so the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club could provide their input into this project's plans. Because of the Committee's concern for the preservation of Hawaiian history which is embedded in this area, an amendment to Condition M was proposed An Archaeological Data Recovery Plan and Preservation Plan shall be submitted for the review and approval by the Planning Director in consultation with the Department of Land and Natural Resources-Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-HPD) and a cultural advisory committee composed of members of the community including but not limited to representatives from the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club. Na ' bpio O Kahalu'u and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Proposed mitigation treatment (preservation in place or disinternment/reinterrmrent) for burial sites within the subject property shall be approved by the Historic Preservation Division's Hawaii Island Burial Council before detailed mitigation plans aze finalized for these sites. A copy of the approved Final Archaeological Data Recovery Plan and Preservation Plan shall be submitted to the Planning Director for its files prior to submitting plans for subdivision review and prior to any approval for any land alteration permits. An interpretation/mitigation plan which shall include buffer zones, signage and long-range preservation concerns shall be submitted to the Planning Director prior to Final Subdivision Approval. A concern about Condition O (1) which sets aside money for the development of pazks was discussed. Although there aze no imminent plans for the development of a pazk, the lazge open spaces left in the development could be construed as "pazk". A suggestion was made that since there aze no plans for a park, perhaps the funds allotted in Condition O (1) could be redirected to develop Kahalu' u Pazk. A concern for the need for walking paths, Homing paths, etc was made, and your Committee was reminded that these are included in the overall design concept for the Open areas.
