The area involved is located north (makai) of Akoni Pule Highway (Highway 270) and adjacent to the Kumakua Phase I Subdivision, Pahoa, North Kohala, Hawai`i The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the requests: State Land Use Boundary Amendment The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Urban District will not be violative of Section 205 -2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will the reclassification actions be inconsistent with the Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer ' The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 Hawaii Land Use Commission Rules, the Hawaii State Plan and the County General Plan. The applicant requests the following: • State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to Urban District for 12.737 acres. Approximately 3.473 acres will remain in the Agricultural district. • Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential (RS- 15, RS -10, RS -7.5) and Open for 18.38 acres. According to the site plan, the proposed change of zone is as follows: • Area 1 - A -20a to Open, .53 acres • Area 2 - RS -7.5 to Open, .397 acres • Area 3 - RS -7.5 to RS -10, .99 acres • Area 4 - A -20a to RS -10, 6.191 acres • Area 5 - A -20a to RS -7.5, 1.805 acres • Area 6 - RS -7.5 to RS -15, .783 acres • Area 7 - A -20a to RS -15, 4.741 acres • Area 8 - A -20a to Open, 2.943 acres. The proposed Open designated area is to remain as open, natural space with no intention for its use for active or passive recreational purposes. The applicant is proposing to continue the development of the affordable housing project which began with the construction of Phase I of the subdivision in June, 2009. Twenty -four (24) single - family residential parcels were created in Phase I, 19 additional units will be created upon the approval of Phase H. With this request, the applicant is proposing to develop Phase III of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project consisting of approximately 45 lots for a total of 88 lots across all three phases. Approximately 60% of the units (53) are projected as self -help single - family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and the balance of the units (35) will be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, objectives and/or policies of the housing element articulated in the Hawaii State Plan: The request would be consistent with the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan as it will provide greater opportunities for Hawai`i's people to purchase or rent an affordable home in an area in which housing has become scarce and costly. Y The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 • Greater opportunities for Hawai`i's people to secure reasonably priced, safe, sanitary, livable homes located in suitable environments that satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals, through collaboration and cooperation between government and nonprofit and for - profit developers to ensure that more affordable housing is made available to very low -, low -, and moderate - income segments of Hawai`i's population. • The orderly development of residential areas sensitive to community needs and other land uses. • Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawai`i's people. • Increase homeownership and rental opportunities and choices in terms of quality, location, cost, densities, style and size of housing. • Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals, polices and standards of the Land Use - Single Family Residential and the Housing Elements of the Hawai`i County General Plan by creating affordable residential housing opportunities and increasing the housing supply for residents of the North Kohala district. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The proposed request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property as Low Density Urban and allows for single - family residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience -type commercial uses and the overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. The applicant is proposing to develop an affordable housing project with single family dwellings, and the project will help to satisfy the demand for much needed affordable housing in North Kohala and facilitate the development of urban activities The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 occurring in an orderly manner. The area under consideration is consistent with the urban form established for this section of the North Kohala District, as the property is adjacent to a parcel designated State Land Use Urban in 2006. The subject property is located along the Hawi - Niulii Road and within close proximity to Hawi Town and several residential neighborhoods and characterized by "city- like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other related land uses. Surrounding properties include a variety of residential neighborhoods, schools, the commercial center of Hawi Town and vacant lands. Lands to the north and south are larger agricultural lands zoned A -20a and A -5a and consists mainly of agricultural uses with scattered dwellings. To the west is a property zoned A -20a, and further west are properties zoned RS -15 and CV -10 in Hawi. To the east are properties zoned A -20a and RS -15. The Kohala Elementary and High Schools are located 600 feet to the east on lands zoned RS -15. An Urban classification would complement the existing and future residential land activities of the surrounding properties. The urban classification also conforms to the standard that the development is within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. Access to the proposed development is from the Akoni Pule Highway, a State highway with an approximate 22 -foot pavement and paved shoulders within an 80 -foot right -of -way. According to the Department of Water Supply, County water is available to the site. The project site is not situated within the service limits of the County's sewer system and will utilize a septic system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The nearest police and fire station is located approximately two miles from the property. Based on the foregoing, the request conforms to the Land Use Commission Rules which encourages urban developments in close proximity to centers of trading and employment, existing developments, services and facilities. The project area includes lands with no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project area is located outside of any tsunami inundation area. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 Based on the above findings, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and is supportive of the State of Hawaii Plan and the County General Plan. Change of Zone The applicant requests a Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential (RS -15, RS -10, RS -7.5) and Open for 18.38 acres. According to the site plan, the proposed change of zone is as follows: • Area 1 - A -20a to Open, .53 acres • Area 2 - RS -7.5 to Open, .397 acres • Area 3 - RS -7.5 to RS -10, .99 acres • Area 4 - A -20a to RS -10, 6.191 acres • Area 5 - A -20a to RS -7.5, 1.805 acres • Area 6 - RS -7.5 to RS -15, .783 acres • Area 7 - A -20a to RS -15, 4.741 acres • Area 8 - A -20a to Open, 2.943 acres. The proposed Open designated area is to remain as open, natural space with no intention for its use for active or passive recreational purposes. The applicant has requested a concurrent State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to Urban District for 12.737 acres. (Approximately 3.473 acres will remain in the Agricultural district) The applicant is proposing to continue the development of the affordable housing project which began with the construction of Phase I of the subdivision in June, 2009. Twenty -four (24) single - family residential parcels were created in Phase I, 19 additional units will be created upon the approval of Phase II. With this request, the applicant is proposing to develop Phase HI of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project consisting of approximately 45 lots for a total of 88 lots across all three phases. Approximately 60% of the units (53) are projected as self - help single - family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and the balance of the units (35) will be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 6 General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed change of zone will conform to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map for this area. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The proposed request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property as Low Density Urban and allows for single - family residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience -type commercial uses and the overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. The applicant is proposing to develop an affordable housing project with single family dwellings to address the demand for affordable housing in North Kohala. This change of zone request will facilitate the development of a concentration of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner for this area. Therefore, it is determined that the request is consistent with the urban form depicted on the LUPAG Map for this area of North Kohala. The proposed request will conform to the goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The request will be compatible with the surrounding urban types of uses, including the Kohala Elementary and High Schools, and existing single - family residential uses in Hawi Town, and along Honomakau Road, Union Mill Road and Kynnersley Road located near the proposed request. The request conforms to the projected needs of urban growth for this area and is consistent with the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed request will add approximately 53 units projected as self -help single- family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and 35 units to be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income to help address the strong demand for affordable housing in the North Kohala area. The project's objective is to address the shortage of affordable housing in North Kohala. Thus, a favorable recommendation of this request will conform to the goals and policies of the Land Use - Single Family Residential and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The requested change of zone is also generally consistent with the community planning document for this portion of North Kohala. Adopted on November 5, 2008 The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 7 by Ordinance No. 08 151, Section 3.2 of the North Kohala Community Development Plan states that self -help homes and other affordable housing projects should be located on lands that are within the Low Density Urban areas on the LUPAG map. In North Kohala, the Village Centers of Hawi, Kapaau, Halawa and Niulii are designated Low Density Urban. The requested change of zone will not create a significant adverse impact upon the natural resources of the area. The majority of the project site is designated Prime Agricultural Land. Portions of the eastern section of the project site are designated Other Important Agricultural Land and Unclassified. The Land Use Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating for the soil is `B" or "Very Good ". Soils within the project site consist of Kohala silty clay, 3 to 12 percent slopes (KhC). While the project site is situated within the County's A -20a zoned district and is identified as prime agricultural land with good soil, it is not currently being used for active or intensive agricultural purposes. Thousands of acres of the former Kohala Sugar Company lands were previously utilized for sugar cane cultivation between 1862 and 1973 and were designated as prime agricultural land. The lands have not been intensively utilized for agricultural activities since the close of the sugar company in 1973. Although the soil type would have justified designating this property in the "Important Agricultural Lands" LUPAG category, this is the type of area referred to on Page 14 -8 of the General Plan: "Certain areas that could have been classified as Important Agricultural lands have been placed within urban land use categories. Generally, these are adjacent to existing urban areas. This represents a decision that the orderly development of those urban areas justifies the eventual conversion of those lands to urban use." The requested rezoning will not be detrimental to the reduction of the agricultural land inventory in the County of Hawaii as the property has not been intensively used for agricultural purposes for a long period of time and is designated for urban growth. From a land use perspective, it is a more feasible alternative to infill urban development within this particular area of North Kohala. In doing so, it would tend to alleviate the conversion of more productive agricultural lands in more appropriate locations within the North Kohala area for urban types of uses. The request would not unreasonably burden the public agencies to provide roads and streets, water, drainage, police and fire protection. There are no significant adverse impacts to public utilities and facilities generated by this project. Potential impacts have been identified and assessed and appropriate mitigative measures will be incorporated within this favorable recommendation. Access to the proposed development The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 8 is from the Akoni Pule Highway, a State highway with a 22 -foot pavement with paved shoulders within an 80 -foot right -of -way. A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) conducted by The Traffic Management Consultant dated October 12, 2009 (Appendix A of application) concluded that the proposed project would generate less than 50 vehicles per hour total for both ingress /egress traffic; thus, the project is not expected to significantly impact traffic in the vicinity of the project. However, the study recommended traffic improvements at the intersection of Akoni Pule Highway and Hawi Road to mitigate LOS "F" conditions that are expected to occur by 2029 without the project: 1) restriping Akoni Pule Highway to provide an exclusive left -turn lane at the south leg of Hawi Road and the possible removal of on -site parking on one or both sides of the highway to accommodate the proposed left turn lane; and 2) restriping the west leg of the Akoni Pule Highway to provide a median shelter lane to facilitate the left -turn movement from northbound Hawi Road; possible removal of on- street parking on one or both sides of the Akoni Pule Highway to accommodate the proposed median shelter lane. In a letter dated May 25, 2010, the Department of Transportation has stated that "the proposed housing project is not expected to impact our State highway facilities." County water can be made available for the development. The project site is not situated within the service limits of the County's sewer system and will utilize a septic system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. The property is within Zone "X ", area determined to be outside the 500 -year flood plain. The property is also located outside of any tsunami inundation area. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to prepare and secure approval of a Solid Waste Management Plan prior to the issuance of Final Subdivision Approval for the proposed development. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The nearest police and fire station is located approximately 2 miles from the project site. The proposed request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The project site is located approximately one mile from the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact recreational resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. The proposed request will not have a significant adverse impact to traditional and customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the Hawai `i State Supreme The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 9 Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa'akai 0 Ka'Aina" decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance survey or botanical study was included in the application. The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area. As the site has been previously utilized for sugar cane cultivation and for cattle grazing, it is unlikely that there are any valued cultural, historical, and natural resources to be found in the rezoning area. Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: There is no evidence of any possible adverse effects or impairments will occur to any valued resources. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As there is no evidence of any valued cultural, historical, and/or natural resources found on the site, there is no action to be taken. A condition of approval will be added for the protection of inadvertent finds should any remains of historic sites, such as rock walls, terraces, platforms, marine shell concentrations or human burials be encountered. The applicant will be required to cease work in the immediate area and contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources — State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR -HPD). Subsequent work shall proceed upon an archaeological clearance from DLNR -HPD when it finds that sufficient mitigation measures have been taken. Based on the above findings, approval of this Change of Zone for 18.38 acres of land from an Agricultural 20 -acre (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential - 15,000 square foot (RS -15), Single Family Residential- 10,000 square foot (RS -10), Single Family Residential -7,500 square foot (RS -7.5) and Open districts would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, amendments to the State Land Use Boundary Maps and to Section 25 -8 -7 (North and South Kohala Zone Map) of the County Zoning Code are transmitted. The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 10 We are enclosing copies of the staff Background and Planning Director's Recommendation for your information.

The proposed State Land Use Boundary Amendment and Change of Zone application represents Phase III of Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation's (HICDC) Kumakua Affordable Housing Project. Ordinance No. 06 68, approved on May 22, 2006, amended the State Land Use District for the first 15 acres of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project from Agriculture to Urban. Ordinance No. 06 69 was also approved on May 22, 2006 and changed the zoning designation of the same 15 acres from Agricultural twenty acres (A -20a) to Single Family Residential seven thousand five hundred (RS -7.5). The Kumakua Phase I subdivision, consisting of 24 single family residential lots was completed in June, 2009. Ten low income families and one moderate income family are currently constructing their homes utilizing the self - help method of construction and are scheduled for completion by the end of the year. Eleven additional families are scheduled to start construction on their homes in January, 2010. A subdivision application for Phase II of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project received tentative subdivision approval for 19 additional lots in June, 2009. Construction of the Phase II subdivision is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2010. The successful completion of the Phase I subdivision and the interest expressed in the community for additional phases of the Kumakua project has given HICDC the encouragement to begin planning for Phase III of this affordable housing project. The HICDC is requesting a State Land Use District Boundary amendment from Agriculture to Urban for approximately 12.737 acres of land. Approximately 3.473 acres of the land area of the subject parcels will remain within the State Land Use Agricultural district. The Change of Zone request involves a number of different zoning designations and is summarized as follows: A -20a to Open (0) 3.473 acres 1 A -20a to RS -15 4.741 acres A -20a to RS -10 6.191 acres A -20a to RS -7.5 1.805 acres RS -7.5 to Open (0) 0.397 acres RS7.5 to RS -15 0.783 acres RS -7.5 to RS -10 0.990 acres The applicant is proposing to continue the development of the affordable housing project which began with the completion of the Phase I Subdivision in June, 2009. A total of 24 single family residential parcels were created in Phase I, 19 additional lots will be created upon the approval of the Phase II subdivision and an additional 45 lots are proposed for Phase III. Approximately 60% of these units (53) are projected as self -help single family dwelling units which are marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and the balance of the units (35) will be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income. b) Statement of objectives and reasons for the request: The applicant intends to address the existing demand for affordable housing units in the County of Hawaii and in West Hawaii in particular. The HICDC has an existing waiting list of approximately 119 families interested in self -help housing projects in West Hawaii. An informational meeting held at the Kohala High School Cafeteria on May 12, 2009 attracted 43 additional families who were interested in obtaining information on the proposed project. Those attending the informational meeting indicated strong support for this type of affordable housing project in the North Kohala district. c) Timeframe and cost: The proposed project will be built incrementally with construction on Phase III expected to begin sometime in 2011. The intent is to be able to construct approximately 10 self help units per year. The total cost of the proposed project is estimated at approximately $10 million. d) Traffic impacts: A Traffic Impact Analysis Report was prepared for the subject application by The Traffic Management Consultant in October, 2009. The report includes an analysis of existing roadway and traffic conditions for the Akoni Pule Highway which fronts the subject property and its intersection with Hawi Road and the project access road. In summarizing its findings, the report states, the following: "The peak hour trip generation from Phase III of the Kumakua Subdivision is expected to be less than 50 vehicles per hour, total for both the entering and exiting traffic. The traffic generated by the proposed Phase III of the Kumakua Subdivision is not expected to significantly impact traffic in the vicinity of the project." 2 A complete copy of the Traffic Impact Analysis Report is attached as Appendix A. B) CONFORMANCE WITH STATE /COUNTY PLANS 1) State Land Use designation: The subject property is situated within the State Land Use Agricultural district.

These areas are generally near the existing Village Centers of Hawi, Kapa' au, Halawa, and Niuli'i." In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the goals and strategies of the Kohala CDP as stated below: • Goal: The overall goal of an affordable housing program for North Kohala is to provide affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income residents and their children and grandchildren. • Self Help Housing Strategy — Establish an ongoing Self -Help Housing Construction Program for North Kohala that will provide 10 to 20 homes per year for at least the next 10 years. 7) Special Management Area (SMA): The subject property is not situated within the SMA boundary. 6 C. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA 1) Description of the subject property: The property is located on the north side of the Akoni Pule Highway, approximately 0.5 mile east of the Akoni Pule Highway -Hawi Road intersection, Pahoa land division, North Kohala, Island of Hawaii and identified as Tax Map Key: (3) 5 -5 -19: 25 and 27. The project site is located makai of the existing Kumakua Phase I subdivision. The subject property was previously utilized for sugar cane cultivation by the Kohala Sugar Company between 1862 and 1973. With the closure of the sugar company, sugar cultivation on the property ceased in 1973. Between 1973 and the present, the property has been used intermittently for cattle pasturage. Information from former Kohala Sugar Company employees has indicated that a pesticide mixing and loading area was located near the southeastern corner of the subject property. The State of Hawaii Department of Health's (DOH) Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office has been investigating former sugar plantation operations on the island of Hawaii and conducted an investigation of this site (an area of approximately 10,000 square feet) and collected soil samples on August 17 -18, 2009. Initial review of the results found elevated levels of arsenic along the base of a stone wall and along the makai side of the mixing area. Elevated levels of arsenic were not found on the mauka side of the property or along the existing cattle fence line. It should be noted that HICDC previously commissioned a study prepared by Geohazards Consultants International, Inc. (GCI) to evaluate the presence of agricultural pesticide residues on the subject property in 2005. Although the GCI study sampled the soil on a majority of the property it did not cover the portion of the property that was situated on the eastern side of the cattle fence line which consists of uncleared land sloping down towards Kumakua Gulch. As such, the pesticide mixing area was not included in the previous study. The GCI report stated that, "41 of the 51 samples submitted had arsenic levels below the 15 mg/kg MRL (Method Reporting Limit) utilized by our laboratory. The distribution of detectable arsenic contamination at the site is restricted to the upper, organic rich soil layer from 0 in. to 8 in. depth, where arsenic concentrations are irregularly distributed, with values slightly above detection levels. These analytic results on samples from the Subject Property indicate that there is not a clear nor hazardous pattern of arsenic soil contamination at the site." With regard to the former pesticide mixing and loading area, the DOH has not completed their analysis and has not determined whether other hazardous substances are present above DOH action levels. The HICDC will work with the DOH to address the elevated arsenic levels as well as any other hazardous substance that may be present above DOH action levels. 2) Lava Hazard Zone: The volcanic hazard as assessed by the United States Geological Survey for the project area is "9" on a scale of ascending risks 9 to 1 (Heliker 1990). Zone "9" is the least hazardous zone on the island with Kohala being the oldest volcano on the island which last erupted approximately 60,000 years ago. 7 3) Distance from the coastline: The coastline is situated approximately 1.25 miles north of the subject property. 4) Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) designation: The portion of the project site is designated as prime agricultural land by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) classification system. These lands have the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops economically when treated and managed according to modern farming methods. Thousands of acres of the former Kohala Sugar Company lands were designated as prime agricultural land but have not been intensively utilized since the close of the sugar company in 1973. The subject property has only been utilized intermittently for cattle pasturage since 1973. 5) U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Services Soil Service Report soil type: The soils of the project area are classified as being of the Kohala series (KhC) and (KhE) which are well- drained silty clays that formed in material from basic igneous rock influenced by volcanic ash. The KhC soils range between 3 to 12 percent slopes while the KhE soils range between 20 to 35 percent slopes. The Agricultural Capability Subclass rating for KhC soils is IIIe, irrigated and nonirrigated, which indicates "soils have severe limitations (due to erosion) that reduce the choice of plants, require special conservation practices or both." The Agricultural Capability Subclass rating for KhE soils is VIe, irrigated and nonirrigated, which indicates "soils have severe limitations (due to erosion) that generally make them unsuited to cultivation and limit their use to pasture or range, woodland, or wildlife." (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1973) 6) Land Study Bureau soil rating: The overall master productivity rating for the soils of the subject property is Class B which is described as "good ". 7) Existing drainage ways or improvements: Kumakua Gulch is situated along the eastern boundary of the subject property. Drainage improvements constructed in the Phase I Subdivision and planned for the Phase II subdivision will be incorporated with drainage improvements proposed for the Phase III subdivision. 8) Air /noise /water quality: The air quality of the subject property is primarily affected by pollutants derived from the volcanic emissions from the ongoing Kilauea eruption. The only other source of air pollution affecting the project site is vehicle exhaust emissions from the Akoni Pule Highway (State Highway 270). In general, however, the ambient air quality of the project area meets all federal and state standards as evidenced by its designation as an "attainment" area by the State Department of Health, Clean Air Branch. Existing noise levels in the vicinity of the subject property are typical of a rural residential area. Based on general observations at the project site, the site is not subject to current or projected noise levels that exceed 65 DNL (day -night average sound level, in decibels). The closest water body to the project area is the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1.25 miles north of the project site. As such, the proposed change of zone is not anticipated to have any impact on water quality. 8 v ' 9) Existing archaeological, cultural or historic sites on National Register or Hawaii Register: Although no archaeological survey has been conducted on the subject property, an inventory survey was conducted for parcels immediately adjacent on the north and west sides of the property. (Archaeological Inventory Survey With Subsurface Testing Report for a Property at TMK: 5 -5 -08: 1, 20, 43, 45, 48, 51, & 52 in the Ahupua'a of Hawi, Pahoa, and Honomakau, North Kohala District, Island of Hawaii prepared by Archaeological Consultants of Hawaii, Inc. in 1993.) These parcels share similar site characteristics to the subject property in that they are composed of relatively flat, seaward dipping slopes dissected by eroded deep gulches. These parcels were also utilized for sugar cane production for over a hundred years and utilized for cattle grazing after the sugar company closed down. The Archaeological Inventory Survey did not find any significant historic sites in the areas which had been previously cultivated in sugar cane. Significant historic sites were encountered within Kumakua Gulch and the report included recommendations for preserving the sites within the gulch. In addition, Hawaii Island Assistant Archaeologist, Morgan Davis conducted two site visits to the project area. The first was conducted on February 27, 2008 prior to the start of construction for the Phase I Subdivision and the second was conducted on March 4, 2009 to address the areas proposed for Phase II and Phase III of the project. In a letter dated March 6, 2009, the State Historic Preservation Division stated that, "no historic properties will be affected by this undertaking ". The entire letter is attached as Appendix B. 10) Existing floral/faunal resources (any native or exotic plants; any listed or candidate for endangered species): The entire parcel has been previously cleared and graded and utilized for sugar cane cultivation spanning the period between 1862- 1973. Since the closure of the Kohala Sugar Company in 1973, the property has been utilized for the grazing of cattle. The predominant vegetation type on the project site is characterized as pastureland which is composed of a mixed grass and herb association with scattered shrubs. Guinea grass is the primary pasture grass and Spanish clover or ka'imi is the most abundant of the herbs. Scattered within the pasture are clumps of shrubs including Christmas berry, guava, pluchea, koa -haole and lantana. The vegetation of the project site is dominated by introduced or alien species with no candidate, proposed, or listed threatened or endangered species as set forth in the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended are known from this area. Two endemic birds, the Short-eared Owl or Pueo and the Hawaiian Hawk or `Io are known to the area and are commonly found in open grasslands and agricultural lands in Kohala. A variety of exotic birds can be expected to frequent the area and include the Japanese White -eye, Zebra dove, House Finch, Common Myna and House Sparrow. With regard to mammals, the mongoose, feral cats and dogs can be commonly found in the pasturlands of Kohala. The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) reviewed the potential impacts from the proposed project on their management programs and endangered species in particular. In a letter dated October 17, 2005, DOFAW stated that, "We have no objections to your project and we will not need to be consulted further on your project." 9 The pastureland vegetation is quite common in Kohala and is not well suited as habitat for any listed or candidate endangered species. 11) Scenic or coastal resources: The predominant scenic views in the vicinity of the project area are of the Kohala Mountain and the open grassland. These views will not be adversely affected by the proposed rezoning. There are no coastal resources in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. 12) Social settlement pattern for the area: The North Kohala District is very sparsely populated with a density of approximately 1 person per 13 acres of land area. Population is concentrated in and around the communities of Hawi and Kapaau which were once the center of the sugar industry's activity within the district. The former sugar cane communities remain the focal point of social and economic activity within the district. Although the majority of the surrounding area is generally utilized as pasture, there are 11single family dwellings currently under construction in the adjacent Kumakua Phase I subdivision with 11 more dwellings scheduled for construction in 2010. Phases I and II of the Kumakua Subdivision will have a total of 43 single family residential parcels. In addition, the 21 -unit Hawi Mutual Self -Help Housing project previously developed by HICDC in 2000 is situated approximately 1,000 west of the subject property. Parcels along both sides of the Akoni Pule Highway with RS -15 zoning are also situated approximately 1,100 feet west of the subject property. Hawi town is situated approximately 1 /2 mile west of the subject property and is one of the primary urban centers in the North Kohala district. Hawi has a broad spectrum of community and business facilities including retail shops, restaurants, movie theatre, post office and gas station. The Kohala High School and Elementary School complex situated approximately 600 feet east of the subject property is within the State Land Use Urban district and zoned RS -15 by the County. 13) Economic resources of the area: The population of the North Kohala District nearly doubled between 1980 and 2000 increasing from 3,249 to 6,038. This growth in population was a significant departure from the trend of declining population experienced in the two previous decades. The primary economic activity in the North Kohala district is agriculturally related. Cattle, nursery products and macadamia nuts are the major products with some limited activity in truck crops. Another important source of income and employment for the district is the tourism industry with most of the tourism facilities located in neighboring South Kohala. One of the major landowners in the district, the Surety Kohala Corporation is working to develop a 240 -unit resort and residential development within the district adjacent to the Mahukona Harbor. 14) Land values: Land values in the North Kohala district have been affected by the economic downturn but remain high relative to what is considered affordable to families at or below the median family income in the County of Hawaii. Current affordable housing guidelinesfor a family at 100% of the median income is $266,700.00. The Kohala Community Development Plan states that, "In late 2007, 10 the lowest priced buildable house lots in North Kohala were in the new `Hana'ula Village' project, and were priced at $235,000 to $282,000." Currently, there is only one residential parcel for sale in North Kohala under $200,000 and that parcel was listed at $190,000. 15) Land use: The State Land Use designation of the surrounding area, except for Kumakua Phase I and II, is predominantly agriculture. Nevertheless there are a wide variety of land uses within a '/2 mile radius of the subject property including residential, agriculture, schools and the commercial center of Hawi town. 16) Zoning: All of the parcels immediately adjacent to the subject property, other than Phases I and II of the Kumakua Subdivision, are situated within the State Land Use Agricultural district and are zoned Agricultural twenty acres (A -20a). Other parcels within a '/2 mile radius of the subject property are zoned Single Family Residential fifteen thousand square feet (RS -15) and Village Commercial ten thousand (CV -10). D) PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES 1) Description of access: Access to the subject property is provided by the Akoni Pule Highway (State Highway 270), fronting along the southern border of the subject property. This highway is the primary transportation link between the small towns of North Kohala including Hawi, Kapa'au and Niuli'i and community of Kawaihae in South Kohala. 2) Availability of water: County water is available from an existing 12 -inch waterline along the Akoni Pule Highway and the 8 -inch waterline built within the Kumakua Phase I Subdivision. The Department of Water Supply indicated support for 80 units of water for HICDC's affordable housing project in a memo to the mayor dated January 30, 2006. To date, 24 water units were utilized for Kumakua Phase I and an additional 19 water units will be utilized for the Kumakua Phase II subdivision. Of the initial 80 units of water provided, the Phase I & II subdivisions will have utilized 43 units of water leaving a balance of 37 units of water. Discussions are currently ongoing with the Department of Water Supply for 8 additional units of water to accommodate the 45 additional parcels proposed for the subject application. 3) Sewage disposal: The project area is not situated within the service limits of the County's wastewater disposal system. The proposed project will utilize a septic system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. 4) Solid waste: There is no municipal collection system for solid waste in the County of Hawaii. All waste generated by the proposed project will be disposed at appropriate sites designated by the Department of Environmental Management. 5) Police and fire protection: The police and fire stations are situated approximately 2 miles west of the project site in Kapaau. 6) Schools: The project area is served by the Kohala High and Elementary School complex situated approximately 600 feet west of the project site. 7) Parks: Recreational facilities in North Kohala include the County's Kamehameha Park in Kapaau which provides a gymnasium/community center, lighted play fields and tennis courts, and a swimming pool. Recreational facilities and playfields are 11 available at the Kohala school complex. Parks providing ocean recreational opportunities within the district include Keokea Beach Park, Kapaa Beach Park and the Mahukona Beach Park. 8) Other utilities and services (telephone /electricity): The subject property is served by electrical and telephone lines along the Akoni Pule Highway (State Highway 270). E) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS 1) Relationship between local short term uses of environment and maintenance and enhancement of long term productivity: The project area has been previously utilized for sugar cane production from 1862 until 1973. With the closure of the sugar company, sugar cultivation on the property ceased in 1973 and since that time, the property has been used intermittently for cattle pasturage. Although the project area is designated as prime agricultural land by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) classification system, there are thousands of acres of land with similar site characteristics within the North Kohala district that have not been intensively utilized since the close of sugar operations in 1973. As such, approval of the subject State Land Use Boundary amendment and change of zone application will allow a more intensive use of the property which will result in a more efficient utilization of the land. 2) Mitigative measures proposed to avoid, minimize, rectify or reduce impact: Impacts resulting from the proposed State Land Use Boundary amendment and change of zone are expected to be minimal. Any potential impacts can be mitigated by complying with all applicable code requirements. With regard to the potential hazardous substances at the former pesticide mixing area, the applicant will work with the State Department of Health to identify and implement the necessary mitigation measures to address this matter. 3) Alternatives to the proposed development: In the event that the State Land Use Boundary Amendment and change of zone application are denied, the Agricultural designation and A -20a zoning will remain in place. The subject property could continue to be utilized intermittently for cattle pasturage. 4) Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of natural resources that would be involved if the proposed action is implemented: The project area is designated as prime agricultural land by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) classification system. Nevertheless, there are thousands of acres of land with similar site characteristics within the North Kohala district that have not been intensively utilized since the close of sugar operations in 1973. As such, the conversion of these agricultural lands for an affordable housing project will not adversely affect the agricultural productivity potential of the North Kohala district. 12 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED KUMAKUA SUBDIVISION - PHASE 111 HAWI, NORTH KOHALA, HAWAII TAX MAP KEY: (3) 5 -5 -08: PORTION OF 46 PREPARED FOR HAWAII ISLAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OCTOBER 12, 2009 PREPARED BY TMC THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED KUMAKUA SUBDIVISION - PHASE 111 HAWI, NORTH KOHALA, HAWAII TAX MAP KEY: (3) 5 -5 -08: PORTION OF 46 ?OP �,�, S • O�1 ti LICENSED 1.

Project Description Hawaii Island Community Development proposes to develop the third phase of the Kumakua Subdivision, which is located on the north side of Akoni Pule Highway (also known as Hawi-Niu-Li'i Road) in Hawi, North Kohala, Hawaii. The project site is a 16- acre parcel, identified as Tax Map Key: (3) 5 -5 -08: portion of 46. Figure 1 depicts the vicinity of the project. The traffic impact analysis for Phases I and II of the Kumakua Subdivision was presented in the Traffic Impact Analysis Report Kohala UCC Project, prepared by M &E Pacific, dated October, 2005. Phase I, consisting of 24 lots, was completed in June 2009. A subdivision application for Phase II of the Kumakua Subdivision has received tentative subdivision approval for 19 additional lots in June, 2009. All 43 single - family residential lots in Phases I and II are expected to be fully developed and occupied by late 2012. Phase III will consist of an additional 45 lots on the remaining 16 acres of the property, for a total of 88 lots. Access will be provided by the existing stop - controlled Tee - intersection on Akoni Pule Highway, which is located about one -half mile east of the Hawi Road intersection. Phase III is expected to begin development in the Year 2012, and deliver about 10 dwelling units per year, and reach full build out and occupancy by the Year 2017. The proposed site plan is depicted on Figure 2. B. Purpose and Scope of the Study The purpose of this traffic impact analysis report is to analyze the traffic impacts of Phase III of the Kumakua Subdivision. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the study. The scope of this study includes: 1. Description of the proposed project. 2. Evaluation of existing roadways and traffic conditions.

HCM defines capacity as "the maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point during a specified period under prevailing roadway, traffic flow, and traffic control conditions." A v/c ratio of 0.50 indicates that the traffic demand is utilizing 50 percent of the roadway's capacity. The capacity analysis worksheets are attached in the Appendix. 2. Traffic Simulation SimTraffic is a microscopic traffic simulation software, developed by Trafficware Corporation. Microscopic traffic simulation is a stochastic process, which can analyze the interactions of individual vehicles as they pass through the roadway network. SimTraffic also was used to analyze the vehicle queuing, vehicular delays, and the overall operations of the street network. 3. Trip Generation Methodology The trip generation methodology is based upon generally accepted techniques developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and published in Trip Generation, 8th Edition. ITE trip rates are developed by correlating the total vehicle trip generation data with various activity /land use characteristics, such as the vehicle trips per hour (vph) per dwelling unit. II. Existing Conditions A. Roadways Akoni Pule Highway is a two -way, two -lane arterial highway between Kawaihae and Niu -Li'i. Akoni Pule Highway carried about 6,000 vehicles per day, total for both directions, based upon traffic data that were obtained from the Hawaii State Department of Transportation (DOT). The posted speed on Akoni Pule Highway in the vicinity of Hawi Road is 25 miles per hour (mph). The posted speed on Akoni Pule Highway in the vicinity of the project access is 35 mph. Hawi Road is a two -way, two -lane roadway in Hawi. Hawi Road intersects Akoni Pule Highway at two Tee - intersections, which are offset by about 50 feet. The south leg • of Hawi Road continues as Kohala Mountain Road to Waimea. DOT data indicated that the south leg of Hawi Road carried about 3,000 vehicles per day, total for both directions.

Field Investigation and Data Collection Manual traffic count surveys were conducted at the intersection of Akoni Pule Highway and Hawi Road on August 27 -28, 2009, during the AM and PM peak periods of traffic — from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM. The peak period traffic data are presented in the Appendix. 2. Existing AM Peak Hour Traffic The AM peak hour of traffic occurred between 7:15 AM and 8:15 AM. Akoni Pule Highway, west of Hawi Road, carried about 460 vehicles per hour (vph), total for both directions. Akoni Pule Highway operated at LOS "C ", with a v/c ratio of 0.17. South of Akoni Pule Highway, Hawi Road carried 314 vph, total for both directions, during the existing AM peak hour of traffic. Hawi Road operated at Level of Service "C" with a v/c ratio of 0.16, during the existing AM peak hour of traffic. Hawi Road operated at LOS "C" on its approaches to Akoni Pule Highway, during the existing AM peak hour of traffic. Figure 3 depicts the existing AM peak hour traffic. 3. Existing PM Peak Hour Traffic The existing PM peak hour of traffic occurred between 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM. West of Hawi Road, Akoni Pule Highway carried about 500 vph, total for both directions. Akoni Pule Highway operated at LOS "C ", with a v/c ratio of 0.18. Hawi Road carried 370 vph, south of Akoni Pule Highway, total for both directions. Hawi Road operated at Level of Service "C" with a v/c ratio of 0.17, during the existing PM peak hour of traffic. During the existing PM peak hour of traffic, Hawi Road operated at LOS "C" on its approaches to Akoni Pule Highway. The existing PM peak hour traffic volumes are depicted on Figure 4. III. Future Traffic Conditions A. External Traffic Historical traffic count data, collected on Akoni Pule Highway west of its intersection with Hawi Road, were obtained from DOT. Linear regression analysis of the DOT data indicated that the annual growth in traffic on Akoni Pule Highway averaged about 1.9 percent per year. The annual growth factor was applied uniformly to the existing traffic on Akoni Pule Highway to estimate the Years 2014, 2019, and 2029 traffic demands.

Traffic impact analysis of the five -year (2014), ten -year (2019), and twenty -year (2029) conditions with the proposed project. 6. Recommendations of improvements, as necessary, that would mitigate the traffic impacts identified in this study. C. Methodologies 1. Capacity Analysis Methodology The highway capacity analysis, performed for this study, is based upon procedures presented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published by the Transportation Research Board, 2000. HCM defines Level of Service (LOS) as "a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream ". Several factors may be included in determining LOS, such as: speed, travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, driver comfort, and convenience. LOS's "A ", "B ", and "C" are considered satisfactory Levels of Service. The County of Hawaii considers LOS "D" to be a minimum acceptable operating Level of Service. LOS "E" is an undesirable condition, and LOS "F" is an unacceptable condition. Intersection LOS is primarily based upon delay. The Level of Service for a two -lane highway is based upon average speed and "percent time- spent - following" (PTSF), which is a result of vehicle platoons following slow- moving vehicles, combined with limited opportunities for passing. Intersection LOS is based primarily on vehicle delay (d), which is expressed in terms of average seconds of delay per vehicle. Table 1 summarizes the LOS criteria. Table 1.

Peak Hour Traffic Analysis Without Project The peak hour traffic without the proposed project includes the traffic generated from Phases I and II of the Kumakua Subdivision. Without the proposed project, Akoni Pule Highway and Hawi Road are expected to operate at LOS "C ". The Hawi Road intersection on Akoni Pule Highway are expected to operate at LOS "D" or better without the proposed project through the Year 2019. By the Year 2029, the northbound approach of Hawi Road at Akoni Pule Highway is expected to operate at LOS "F ". The southbound approach of Hawi Road at Akoni Pule Highway is expected to operate at LOS "E ". The Project Access Road at Akoni Pule Highway is expected to operate at LOS "B" through the Year 2029.

Left -Turn Lane Analysis An analysis was conducted to determine whether or not an exclusive left -turn lane will be warranted at the intersection of Akoni Pule Highway and the Project Access Road. The left -turn lane volume warrant was developed by M. D. Harmelink, and published in "Volume Warrants for Left -Turn Storage Lanes at Unsignalized Grade Intersections ", Highway Research Record 211, Highway Research Board, 1967. The Harmelink research has been adopted by many organizations, including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and incorporated into several publications including: the AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets ( "Green Book "), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 279 Intersection Channelization Design Guide, 1985, NCHRP Report 348 Access Management Guidelines for Activity Centers, 1992, and NCHRP Synthesis of Highway Practice 225, Left -Turn Treatments at Intersections, 1996. The AASHTO "Green Book" (2004) provides guidelines, which are based upon the Harmelink left -turn lane volume warrant analysis. Exhibit 9 -75 presents a table of the left -turn lane guidelines for various combinations of left -turn demands and through traffic demands on a two -lane highway. Within the scope of this traffic impact analysis, the Year 2029 PM peak hour of traffic with the proposed project is expected to be the critical period of analysis, where the left -turn demand to the Project Access Road and the through traffic demands on Akoni Pule Highway are the highest. Based upon interpolation of the values in Exhibit 9 -75, projected traffic demands are not expected to meet the AASHTO guidelines for an exclusive left-turn lane on Akoni Pule Highway at the Project Access Road, through the Year 2029. V. Recommendations and Conclusions A. Recommendations The following traffic improvements are recommended at the intersection of Akoni Pule Highway and Hawi Road to mitigate LOS "F" conditions that are expected to occur by the Year 2029 without the proposed project. 1. Akoni Pule Highway should be restriped to provide an exclusive left -turn lane at the south leg of Hawi Road. On- street parking may need to be removed on one or both sides of Akoni Pule Highway to accommodate the proposed left -turn lane. 2. The west leg of Akoni Pule Highway should be restriped to provide a median shelter lane to facilitate the left -turn movement from northbound Hawi Road. On- street parking may need to be removed on one or both sides of Akoni Pule Highway to accommodate the proposed median shelter lane. Page 28 Kumakua Subdivision—Phase 111 Traffic Impact Analysis Report Tax Map Key: 5 5 08:Portion of 46 October 12, 2009 B. Conclusions The peak hour trip generation from Phase III of the Kumakua Subdivision is expected to be less than 50 vehicles per hour, total for both the entering and exiting traffic. The traffic generated by the proposed Phase III of the Kumakua Subdivision is not expected to significantly impact traffic in the vicinity of the project. • Page 29 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED KUMAKUA SUBDIVISION - PHASE 111 APPENDIX A TRAFFIC COUNT DATA 4 TRAFFIC COUNT DATA FILE NAME: Akoni Pule Hwy Hawi Rd Sec 3 PROJECT: Kumakua PERIOD: AM Peak LOCATION: Hawi, Hawaii NORTH: E -W STREET Akoni Pule Hwy TECHNICIAN: Video PT N -S STREET: Hawi Rd DATE: 8/28/09 Akoni Pule Hwy Hawi Rd TIME EBL EBT EBR WBL WBT WBR NBL NBT NBR SBL SBT SBR TOTAL HRLY 6:30 6:45 0 14 15 6 19 1 15 2 8 7 1 4 92 6:45 7:00 2 25 15 11 24 0 22 2 13 7 2 7 130 7:00 7:15 1 29 10 9 29 2 14 4 15 14 6 4 137 7:15 7:30 1 35 16 14 30 3 17 1 23 8 6 4 158 517 7:30 7:45 3 50 21 11 30 12 17 4 20 13 2 4 187 612 7:45 8:00 3 51 13 25 36 8 19 1 25 11 7 6 205 687 8:00 8:15 3 30 13 21 40 5 15 3 17 2 3 2 154 704 8:15 8:30 2 23 21 12 34 5 13 5 11 9 4 2 141 687 8:30 8:45 0 30 17 11 36 5 18 8 14 8 3 5 155 655 AM PEAK HOUR 7:15 8:15 10 166 63 71 136 28 68 9 85 34 18 16 704 704 PHF 0.83 0.81 1.21 0.71 0.94 0.88 0.89 2.25 0.85 0.77 0.64 0.67 0.86 PHF TRAFFIC COUNT DATA FILE NAME: Akoni Pule Hwy Hawi Rd Sec 3 PROJECT: Kumakua PERIOD: PM Peak LOCATION: Hawi, Hawaii NORTH: E -W STREET Akoni Pule Hwy TECHNICIAN: Video PT N -S STREET Hawi Rd DATE: 8/27/09 Akoni Pule Hwy Hawi Rd TIME EBL EBT EBR WBL WBT WBR NBL NBT NBR SBL SBT SBR TOTAL HRLY 15:00 15:15 10 55 21 24 36 9 23 1 18 6 2 4 209 15:15 15:30 2 38 16 22 33 8 28 6 22 11 5 1 192 15:30 15:45 2 45 20 13 39 7 21 6 28 7 5 2 195 15:45 16:00 2 42 13 29 32 9 21 7 20 6 3 5 189 785 16:00 16:15 5 46 18 25 38 11 15 4 28 6 2 4 202 778 16:15 16:30 3 47 26 25 37 5 18 3 15 6 5 3 193 779 16 :30 16:45 5 45 23 26 32 8 15 8 20 4 2 1 189 773 16:45 17:00 6 51 16 27 23 11 16 3 19 11 1 0 184 768 17:00 17:15 5 32 17 25 22 4 10 6 25 8 1 1 156 722 17:15 17:30 3 42 9 24 26 9 12 4 12 8 3 2 154 683 PM PEAK HOUR 15:30 16:30 12 180 77 92 146 32 75 20 91 25 15 14 779 785 PHF 0.60 0.98 1.07 0.92 0.96 0.73 1.25 1.25 0.81 1.04 1.88 0.88 0.96 PHF A -1 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED KUMAKUA SUBDIVISION - PHASE 111 APPENDIX B CAPACITY ANALYSIS WORKSHEETS EXISTING CONDITIONS Kumakua Subdivision - Phase III Existing AM Peak Hour Traffic 3: Akoni Pule Hwy & Hawi Rd HCM Unsignalized Intersection Capacity Analysis ntJ Lane Configurations 4 4 4 4 Volume (veh /h) " 10 " 166. . 63 71 136 ! 28 68 9 8 5; 34 18 16 Sign Control Free Free op St Stop Grade 0% ,', :0 , ° O%'' 0 , Peak Hour Factor 0.83 0.81 1.00 0.71 0.94 0.88 0.89 1.00 0.85 0.77 0.64 0.67 :.

We understand that there are upcoming Subdivision and Change of Zone applications related to this project; this letter is also intended to address the historic preservation review for those as well. We determine that no historic properties will be affected by this undertaking because: ® Intensive cultivation has altered the land ❑ Residential development/urbanization has altered the land ® Previous grubbing /grading has altered the land ❑ An accepted archaeological inventory survey (AIS) found no historic properties ❑ SHPD previously reviewed this project and mitigation has been completed ® Other: A site visit was conducted at this property by Hawaii Island Assistant Archaeologist Morgan Davis on February 27, 2008 for the Phase I construction for this project. The parcel has been grazed by cattle until recently and prior to that was cultivated in sugar; no historic properties were noted (Log No.2008.0367 , Doc No. 0803MD01).A second site visit was conducted for the remaining portion of the parcel (including all areas for planned Phase II and III construction) and no historic properties were noted in any part of the parcel. In the event that historic resources, including human skeletal remains, cultural materials, lava tubes, and lava blisters/bubbles are identified during the construction activities, all work needs to cease in the immediate vicinity of the find, the find needs to be protected from additional disturbance, and the State Historic Preservation Division, Hawaii Island Section, needs to be contacted immediately at (808) 933- 7653.

Lands formerly used for sugarcane production are now being developed into communities where residential homes, schools and commercial businesses are being constructed. Chemicals associated with the sugarcane industry persist in soil today and may be a threat to public health and the environment. Elevated arsenic levels were discovered in soil at former sugarcane production areas on the islands. The HEER Office has identified former sugarcane production areas for assessment throughout the state and plans to work with property owners to conduct environmental assessments to identify and address elevated soil arsenic levels prior to finalizing development plans for the properties. We recommend that you review all of the Standard Comments on our website: http: //hawaii .gov/health /environmentall env- planning/landuse /landuse.html. Any comments specifically applicable to this project should be adhered to. The same website also features a Healthy Community Design Smart Growth Checklist (Checklist) created by Built Environment Working Group (BEWG) of the Hawaii State Department of Health. The BEWG recommends that state and county planning departments, developers, planners, engineers and other interested parties apply the healthy built environment principles in the Checklist whenever they plan or review new developments or redevelopments projects.

The previous two phases total 43 house lots. All phases, including the third phase, will use the same access intersection to Akoni Pule Highway. Notwithstanding our support for providing affordable housing for the public, we find the TIAR to be inadequate and needs to be revised and resubmitted for review and acceptance. All three phases of the project will make use of the same access intersection and cannot be treated as if they were separate entities that have no cumulative effect orLthhe project access. If analysis were to show that no traffic improvements are needed, then it must include all three phases to be valid.

MORIOKA, Ph.D., P.E. Director of Transportation LD 1 DEC 3 0 7009 By: 0 593:11 RHICDCSLU2.doc- 6/2/10 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION HAWAII ISLAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION STATE LAND USE BOUNDARY AMENDMENT APPLICATION (SLU 09 -25) Upon careful review of the request, the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Urban District will not be violative of Section 205 -2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will the reclassification actions be inconsistent with the Hawaii Land Use Commission Rules, the Hawaii State Plan and the County General Plan. The applicant requests the following: • State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to Urban District for 12.737 acres. Approximately 3.473 acres will remain in the Agricultural district. • Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential (RS -15, RS -10, RS -7.5) and Open for 18.38 acres. According to the site plan, the proposed change of zone is as follows: • Area 1 - A -20a to Open, .53 acres • Area 2 - RS -7.5 to Open, .397 acres • Area 3 - RS -7.5 to RS -10, .99 acres • Area 4 - A -20a to RS -10, 6.191 acres • Area 5 - A -20a to RS -7.5, 1.805 acres • Area 6 - RS -7.5 to RS -15, .783 acres • Area 7 - A -20a to RS -15, 4.741 acres • Area 8 - A -20a to Open, 2.943 acres -1- The proposed Open designated area is to remain as open, natural space with no intention for its use for active or passive recreational purposes. The applicant is proposing to continue the development of the affordable housing project which began with the construction of Phase I of the subdivision in June, 2009. Twenty -four (24) single - family residential parcels were created in Phase I, 19 additional units will be created upon the approval of Phase II. With this request, the applicant is proposing to develop Phase III of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project consisting of approximately 45 lots for a total of 88 lots across all three phases. Approximately 60% of the units (53) are projected as self -help single - family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and the balance of the units (35) will be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, objectives and /or policies of the housing element articulated in the Hawaii State Plan: The request would be consistent with the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan as it will provide greater opportunities for Hawaii's people to purchase or rent an affordable home in an area in which housing has become scarce and costly. • Greater opportunities for Hawaii's people to secure reasonably priced, safe, sanitary, livable homes located in suitable environments that satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals, through collaboration and cooperation between government and nonprofit and for - profit developers to ensure that more affordable housing is made available to very low -, low -, and moderate - income segments of Hawaii's population. • The orderly development of residential areas sensitive to community needs and other land uses. • Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawaii's people. • Increase homeownership and rental opportunities and choices in terms of quality, location, cost, densities, style and size of housing. -2- • Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals, polices and standards of the Land Use - Single Family Residential and the Housing Elements of the Hawaii County General Plan by creating affordable residential housing opportunities and increasing the housing supply for residents of the North Kohala district. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The proposed request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property as Low Density Urban and allows for single - family residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience -type commercial uses and the overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. The applicant is proposing to develop an affordable housing project with single family dwellings, and the project will help to satisfy the demand for much needed affordable housing in North Kohala and facilitate the development of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner. The area under consideration is consistent with the urban form established for this section of the North Kohala District, as the property is adjacent to a parcel designated State Land Use Urban in 2006. The subject property is located along the Hawi - Niulii Road and within close proximity to Hawi Town and several residential neighborhoods and characterized by "city- like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other related land uses. Surrounding properties include a variety of residential neighborhoods, schools, the commercial center of Hawi Town and vacant lands. Lands to the north and south are larger agricultural lands zoned A -20a and A -5a and consists mainly of agricultural uses with scattered dwellings. To the west is a property zoned A -20a, and -3- further west are properties zoned RS -15 and CV -10 in Hawi. To the east are properties zoned A -20a and RS -15. The Kohala Elementary and High Schools are located 600 feet to the east on lands zoned RS -15. An Urban classification would complement the existing and future residential land activities of the surrounding properties. The urban classification also conforms to the standard that the development is within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. Access to the proposed development is from the Akoni Pule Highway, a State highway with an approximate 22 -foot pavement and paved shoulders within an 80 -foot right -of -way. According to the Department of Water Supply, County water is available to the site. The project site is not situated within the service limits of the County's sewer system and will utilize a septic system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The nearest police and fire station is located approximately two miles from the property. Based on the foregoing, the request conforms to the Land Use Commission Rules which encourages urban developments in close proximity to centers of trading and employment, existing developments, services and facilities. The project area includes lands with no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project area is located outside of any tsunami inundation area. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. Based on the above findings, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and is supportive of the State of Hawaii Plan and the County General Plan. The accompanying draft bill to amend the State Land Use Boundaries Maps for the County of Hawaii is provided for your favorable consideration. -4- COUNTY OF HAWAII - •�'' =`':•- ,_..,.� STATE OF HAWAI rf o F•Nr'��_= BILL NO.

Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant requests a Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential (RS -15, RS -10, RS -7.5) and Open for 18.38 acres. According to the site plan, the proposed change of zone is as follows: • Area 1 - A -20a to Open, .53 acres • Area 2 - RS -7.5 to Open, .397 acres • Area 3 - RS -7.5 to RS -10, .99 acres • Area 4 - A -20a to RS -10, 6.191 acres • Area 5 - A -20a to RS -7.5, 1.805 acres • Area 6 - RS -7.5 to RS -15, .783 acres • Area 7 - A -20a to RS -15, 4.741 acres • Area 8 - A -20a to Open, 2.943 acres The proposed Open designated area is to remain as open, natural space with no intention for its use for active or passive recreational purposes. The applicant has requested a concurrent State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to Urban District for 12.737 acres. (Approximately 3.473 acres will remain in the Agricultural district) The applicant is proposing to continue the development of the affordable housing project which began with the construction of Phase I of the subdivision in June, 2009. Twenty -four (24) single- family residential parcels were created in Phase I, 19 additional units will be created upon the approval of Phase II. With this request, the applicant is proposing to develop Phase III of the Kumakua Affordable Housing Project consisting of approximately 45 lots for a total of 88 lots across all three phases. Approximately 60% of the units (53) are projected as self - help single- family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and the balance of the units (35) will be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed change of zone will conform to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map for this area. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The proposed request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property as Low Density Urban and allows for single - family residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience -type commercial uses and the overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. The applicant is proposing to develop an affordable housing project with single family dwellings to address the demand for affordable housing in North Kohala. This change of zone request will facilitate the development of a concentration of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner for this area. Therefore, it is determined that the request is consistent with the urban form depicted on the LUPAG Map for this area of North Kohala. 2 The proposed request will conform to the goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The request will be compatible with the surrounding urban types of uses, including the Kohala Elementary and High Schools, and existing single - family residential uses in Hawi Town, and along Honomakau Road, Union Mill Road and Kynnersley Road located near the proposed request. The request conforms to the projected needs of urban growth for this area and is consistent with the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed request will add approximately 53 units projected as self -help single - family dwelling units marketed to families earning less than 80% of the median family income and 35 units to be marketed to families earning more than 80% of the median family income to help address the strong demand for affordable housing in the North Kohala area. The project's objective is to address the shortage of affordable housing in North Kohala. Thus, a favorable recommendation of this request will conform to the goals and policies of the Land Use - Single Family Residential and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The requested change of zone is also generally consistent with the community planning document for this portion of North Kohala. Adopted on November 5, 2008 by Ordinance No. 08 151, Section 3.2 of the North Kohala Community Development Plan states that self -help homes and other affordable housing projects should be located on lands that are within the Low Density Urban areas on the LUPAG map. In North Kohala, the Village Centers of Hawi, Kapaau, Halawa and Niulii are designated Low Density Urban. The requested change of zone will not create a significant adverse impact upon the natural resources of the area. The majority of the project site is designated Prime Agricultural Land. Portions of the eastern section of the project site are designated Other Important Agricultural Land and Unclassified. The Land Use Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating for the soil is `B" or "Very Good ". Soils within the project site consist of Kohala silty clay, 3 to 12 percent slopes (KhC). While the project site is situated within the County's A -20a zoned district and is identified as prime 3 agricultural land with good soil, it is not currently being used for active or intensive agricultural purposes. Thousands of acres of the former Kohala Sugar Company lands were previously utilized for sugar cane cultivation between 1862 and 1973 and were designated as prime agricultural land. The lands have not been intensively utilized for agricultural activities since the close of the sugar company in 1973. Although the soil type would have justified designating this property in the "Important Agricultural Lands" LUPAG category, this is the type of area referred to on Page 14 -8 of the General Plan: "Certain areas that could have been classified as Important Agricultural lands have been placed within urban land use categories. Generally, these are adjacent to existing urban areas. This represents a decision that the orderly development of those urban areas justifies the eventual conversion of those lands to urban use." The requested rezoning will not be detrimental to the reduction of the agricultural land inventory in the County of Hawaii as the property has not been intensively used for agricultural purposes for a long period of time and is designated for urban growth. From a land use perspective, it is a more feasible alternative to infill urban development within this particular area of North Kohala. In doing so, it would tend to alleviate the conversion of more productive agricultural lands in more appropriate locations within the North Kohala area for urban types of uses. The request would not unreasonably burden the public agencies to provide roads and streets, water, drainage, police and fire protection. There are no significant adverse impacts to public utilities and facilities generated by this project. Potential impacts have been identified and assessed and appropriate mitigative measures will be incorporated within this favorable recommendation. Access to the proposed development is from the Akoni Pule Highway, a State highway with a 22 -foot pavement with paved shoulders within an 80 -foot right -of -way. A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) conducted by The Traffic Management Consultant dated October 12, 2009 (Appendix A of application) concluded that the proposed project would generate less than 50 vehicles per hour total for both ingress /egress traffic; thus, the project is not expected to significantly impact traffic in the vicinity of the project. However, the study 4 recommended traffic improvements at the intersection of Akoni Pule Highway and Hawi Road to mitigate LOS "F" conditions that are expected to occur by 2029 without the project: 1) restriping Akoni Pule Highway to provide an exclusive left -turn lane at the south leg of Hawi Road and the possible removal of on -site parking on one or both sides of the highway to accommodate the proposed left turn lane; and 2) restriping the west leg of the Akoni Pule Highway to provide a median shelter lane to facilitate the left -turn movement from northbound Hawi Road; possible removal of on- street parking on one or both sides of the Akoni Pule Highway to accommodate the proposed median shelter lane. In a letter dated May 25, 2010, the Department of Transportation has stated that "the proposed housing project is not expected to impact our State highway facilities." County water can be made available for the development. The project site is not situated within the service limits of the County's sewer system and will utilize a septic system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. The property is within Zone "X ", area determined to be outside the 500 -year flood plain. The property is also located outside of any tsunami inundation area. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to prepare and secure approval of a Solid Waste Management Plan prior to the issuance of Final Subdivision Approval for the proposed development. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The nearest police and fire station is located approximately 2 miles from the project site. The proposed request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The project site is located approximately one mile from the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact recreational resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. The proposed request will not have a significant adverse impact to traditional and customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme 5 Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa'akai 0 Ka'Aina" decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance survey or botanical study was included in the application. The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area. As the site has been previously utilized for sugar cane cultivation and for cattle grazing, it is unlikely that there are any valued cultural, historical, and natural resources to be found in the rezoning area. Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: There is no evidence of any possible adverse effects or impairments will occur to any valued resources. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As there is no evidence of any valued cultural, historical, and /or natural resources found on the site, there is no action to be taken. A condition of approval will be added for the protection of inadvertent finds should any remains of historic sites, such as rock walls, terraces, platforms, marine shell concentrations or human burials be encountered. The applicant will be required to cease work in the immediate area and contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources — State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR -HPD). Subsequent work shall proceed upon an archaeological clearance from DLNR -HPD when it finds that sufficient mitigation measures have been taken. Based on the above findings, approval of this Change of Zone for 18.38 acres of land from an Agricultural 20 -acre (A -20a) to a Single Family Residential- 15,000 square foot (RS -15), Single Family Residential- 10,000 square foot (RS -10), Single Family Residential-7,500 square foot (RS -7.5) and Open districts would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public.
