HHF is developing an EnvironmentaIAssess mentforthe
Kea `au -Mountain View Public Library proposed by the Hawaii
State Public Library System (HSPLS). The project will construct
a new 13,900 SF public library on a 1.7-acre site in Kea'au,
adjacent to the Kea'au Middle School. The site is owned by the
State of Hawaii. This library is one of two new libraries
proposed by HSPLS in the Puna District to replace three
outdated public and school libraries co -located within school
campuses. The Kea'au-Mountain View Public Library will
support current public demand and provide sufficient
The library site is located on Kea'au-Pahoa Road. Two one-way
driveways will provide access to the 42-stall parking lot.
Accessible walkways will connect the library to the public
sidewalk and the adjacent middle school.
Project Cost: $132,950
operational space for staff, resources, and library patrons. It
will provide current technologies such as broadband wi-fi
services and support community activities. The Proposed
Action does not include construction of the Pahoa Public --^
Library in Pahoa, which is being proposed under a separate-"
HSPLS project.
The interior of the Kea'au-Mountain View Public Library will be
comprised of the main library space and areas for community
and staff. The main library space will be a flexible open area
with modular furnishings that can be reconfigured as needs
change. HSPLS indicated that its priority in designing a library is
to maintain flexibility for the interior space. Hard walls and
built-in furnishings will be minimized to retain versatility and
adaptability in future use. A community meeting room is
provided for special functions during or after library hours and
opens to a lanai for indoor -outdoor functions. Staff areas
include offices, workspace, and storage. A dedicated space is
included for Friends of the Library.

HHF prepared a Federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Environmental Assessment (EA) for a project to relocate existing
Pu`uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park maintenance and
resource management functions from their current location in
substandard facilities in an area known to contain archeological
resources to new facilities at a more suitable location. The seven
existing structures were constructed as temporary facilities in the
1960s and are no longer physically adequate to meet current Park
needs. Their location does not support the Park's fundamental
resources and values as expressed in its cultural landscape.
HHF evaluated impacts on key environmental issue areas in three
NPS-owned project sites (two within the main Park boundaries
and one site three miles mauka); prepared materials in support of
the project's Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation;
prepared NEPA scoping meeting graphic materials; and oversaw
biological surveys of all three sites.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
Building off of the experience of other cities and with key input
from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning
and Permitting and the Department of Transportation Services,
the project team of HHF and Toole Design developed a set of
bikeshare station site planning guidelines to inform the
identification of potential bikeshare stations.
A hierarchy of preferred sites was proposed for review and
comment at over 50 stakeholder meetings, presentations at
neighborhood board meetings, City Councilmember briefings,
and pop-up outreach events. An online crowd -sourcing map
was created to gather community comments on potential
station locations - users could click on a proposed station
location, see a photograph and information about the site, and
"like" the station if they supported its proposed location.
The project team worked with the City and the Hawaii
Community Development
Authority to establish standard
permitting procedures. This
work led to permit approvals
for 100 Honolulu stations
launched in June 2017.
In 2017 the project was
recognized by the American
Planning Association's Hawaii
Chapter for excellence in
Transportation Planning.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
HHF teamed with Toole Design Group to develop the ongoing
update to the Oahu Bike Plan. The project team was tasked
with developing an update that establishes a low -stress
network of bikeways to meet the needs of potential bicyclists of
all ages and abilities. To kick-off the project, HHF established a
comprehensive geodatabase inventory of all available data for
O'ahu's existing and proposed bikeways, including number of
traffic lanes, speed, volume, type of bicycle facility, and
presence of on -street parking. From this inventory, a bicycle
level of traffic stress (LTS) analysis was conducted to determine
the relative level of comfort for the bikeway network and
identify key gaps and missed connections. Additionally, an LTS
cross-section tool and a state of the practice bicycle facility
design toolkit were developed and delivered to DTS as interim
work products. These technical work products provided the
basis for identifying the appropriate and feasible bikeway
treatments proposed in the bikeway network.
The planning process also relied heavily on public participation.
Community engagement was conducted throughout the
project with multiple community workshops, crowdsourcing
web maps, surveys, and stakeholder meetings. Based on this
input and in close coordination with DTS, HHF refined several
key program and policy recommendations and identified over
500 bikeway projects. HHF developed a GID-based prioritization
model to rankthe proposed bikeway projects based on criteria
developed from public input. The result is a plan update that
will guide the growth of bicycling as a safe, convenient, and fun
transportation option, and support the establishment of a
mu lti moda l transportation system

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
The County of Hawaii selected HHF Planners (HHF) to develop
a community -based, multi -use trails master plan to enhance
the bayfront's natural beauty; increase access for residents and
visitors; highlight the area's cultural significance; and protect
the fragile coastline and surrounding waterways. Stretching
three miles —from Hilo Harbor to the Wailuku River —the project
area comprises over 700 acres, including historic Downtown
Hilo, numerous county parks, and Wailoa River State
Recreation Area.
HHF worked closely with the County Department of Research
and Development; consulted with the public and private
constituents of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee;
coordinated plan development with the Departments of Parks
& Recreation, Public Works, Planning; and teamed with an
archaeologist, civil engineer, and community outreach
specialist. HHF also reviewed existing conditions through
research and site visits, prepared a user survey and assessed
responses from Hilo residents, organized three public meetings,
which included development of community participation
activities, and prepared conceptual and schematic plans,
public meeting records, and an order -of magnitude cost
estimate for design and construction.
The master plan describes the project area's history, existing
conditions, and challenges; details and illustrates the plan's
shared use paths, bicycle facilities, pedestrian walkways, and
features; and outlines design guidelines and implementation
action items and phasing. The report will be used to support
the entitlement phase of the project —environmental
assessment, Special Management Area (SMA) permit
application, and Conservation District Use Application (CDUA)—
and Phase II design and Phase III construction for the trails
project.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
The term "Important Agricultural Lands," or IAL, is a State land
use designation that identifies high -quality farm land to be
protected and preserved for long-term agricultural use. In
compliance with the State law (Hawai`i Revised Statutes,
Chapter 205), the City and County of Honolulu Department of
Planning and Permitting (DPP) is conducting a mapping project
to identify lands on 0`ahu that meet the statutory requirements
for consideration as IAL. DPP is seeking input from landowners,
farming interests and residents about the type of land to
include in 0`ahu's future inventory of agricultural land. The
maps produced as a result of this effort will be submitted to the
Honolulu City Council for review and adoption by resolution,
before being sent to the State Land Use Commission for final
approval.
HHF helped to create a technical basis for identifying Important
Agricultural Land on 0`ahu. Work required operationalizing
criteria established in Hawaii Revised Statutes, identifying data
sources to be utilized by Geographic Information System, and
mapping data. Working with the County Department of
Planning and Permitting, a technical advisory committee (TAC)
was selected, and HHF worked with the TAC to operationalize
criteria and select appropriate data sources. The TAC met 6
times over 8 months.
Phase II of the project focused on public outreach: stakeholder
meetings, community meetings, a project website, and a GIS
Map Viewer tool to share project maps and criteria used to
identify lands that qualify for IAL designation.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
The 0`ahu General Plan is a collection of overarching objectives
and policies that guides land use, development, growth and
capital improvements expenditures within the County, with a
planning horizon of 25 years.
First adopted in 1977, the City Charter requires that the General
Plan be reviewed at least every 10 years. HHF is proud to be
working with the City and County of Honolulu's Department of
Planning and Permitting (DPP) as the lead consultant to update
the City's General Plan. This current effort is focused on
updating objectives and policies related to 0`ahu's overall
growth, the economy, affordable housing and sustainability.
Discussion about amending the General Plan to recognize the
concept of sustainability as a fundamental city policy is a key
issue for this update, as the movement to promote
sustainability can influence the choices residents make in their
daily lives and shape land use and future development on
0`ahu. For an island community like 0`ahu, sustainability
principles focus on encouraging self-sufficiency and self-
reliance, and reducing dependence on imported products.
Through a series of community meetings and a web -based
public survey, HHF has identified specific land use and policy
considerations to address sustainability, such as promoting the
use of local resources to generate energy, increasing the
consumption of locally -grown food, promoting land use
development forms that encourage compact and mixed -use
development at higher densities, supporting multi -modal
transportation networks, transit -oriented developments and
energy -efficient building design, reducing material
consumption and expanding reuse/recycling, and seeking a
diversified, resilient economy.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost)
HHF support for the update of the 2012 City of Honolulu Hazard
Mitigation Plan included public and agency engagement as well
as an assessment of plan integration for resilience (to gauge the
extent to which natural hazards are considered as key factors in
development decisions and planning process). Regional land
use planning analysis focused on the Honolulu General Plan,
0`ahu Resilience Strategy, and the Development Plans and
Sustainable Communities Plans for the eight planning regions
on 0`ahu.
Alignment of policies, with regard to resilience, is critical for
these foundational plans because of the influence they have on
how our communities develop over time. Inconsistencies in
plans and policies are common and may result inappropriate
development in high hazard areas.
The plan integration effort followed the screening methods and
techniques established in the policy analysis portion of the
"Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard Guidebook"
developed by the US Department of Homeland Security's
Coastal Resilience Center and the National Research Council.
In support of community engagement, HHF helped plan and
facilitate two public meetings, created informational posters,
developed social media materials, and conducted activities to
capture input on concerns and proposed hazard mitigation
priorities during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval.

322 APA HAWAI'I CHAPTER AWARE
Trnnsnnrtntinn Plnnninp,
HHF completed a study to assess the vulnerability of American
Samoa's transportation assets to climate related hazards and
to analyze social characteristics that influence community
resilience to climate related hazards to inform mitigation
project considerations.
There was no pre-existing framework or single analysis tool to
assess both physical and social vulnerabilities to climate
change in American Samoa. The study combined creation and
use of a quantitative vulnerability index following an
adaptation of the U.S. Department of Transportation's
vulnerability assessment scoring tool, stakeholder
engagement, and analysis of hazard data (including
geotechnical information (i.e., subsidence rate), sea level rise,
precipitation, wave runup, and storm frequency) with
consideration of community and transportation asset
exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity.
The effort also involved the creation of social vulnerability
indices and adaptation strategies for public transportation
systems, interviews with American Samoa stakeholders and
regional subject matter experts, and facilitation of two onsite
stakeholder planning charrettes. This included coordinating
with related -agency representatives to create educational
briefing material to inform workshop participants in
preparation for adaptation concept development. This
approach ensured stakeholder awareness and concurrence
with the final report. HHF also developed cost estimates for
adaptation concepts. Project Cost: $96,569

HHF is developing an Environmental
Assessment for the Kea 'au -Mountain View
Public Library proposed by the Hawai'i State
Public Library System (HSPLS). The project
will construct a new 13,900 SF public library
on a 1.7-acre site in Kea'au, adjacent to the
Kea'au Middle School. The site is owned by
the State of Hawai'i. This library is one of
two new libraries proposed by HSPLS in the
Puna District to replace three outdated public
and school libraries co -located within school
campuses. The Kea'au-Mountain View Public
Library will support current public demand and
provide sufficient operational space for staff,
resources, and library patrons. It will provide
current technologies such as broadband wi-fi
services and support community activities. The
Proposed Action does not include construction
of the Pahoa Public Library in Pahoa, which
is being proposed under a separate HSPLS
project.

The interior of the Kea'au-Mountain View
Public Library will be comprised of the main
library space and areas for community and
staff. The main library space will be a flexible
open area with modular furnishings that
can be reconfigured as needs change. HSPLS
indicated that its priority in designing a library
is to maintain flexibility for the interior space.
Hard walls and built-in furnishings will be
minimized to retain versatility and adaptability
in future use. A community meeting room is
provided for special functions during or after
library hours and opens to a lanai for indoor -
outdoor functions. Staff areas include offices,
workspace, and storage. A dedicated space is
included for Friends of the Library.
The library site is located on Kea'au-Pahoa
Road. Two one-way driveways will provide
access to the 42-stall parking lot. Accessible
walkways will connect the library to the public
sidewalk and the adjacent middle school.

HHF prepared a NEPA EA for a project to relocate existing Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National
Historical Park maintenance and resource management functions from their current location in
substandard facilities in an area known to contain archeological resources to new facilities at a
more suitable location. The seven existing structures were constructed as temporary facilities in
the 1960s and are no longer physically adequate to meet current Park needs. Their location does
not support the Park's fundamental resources and values as expressed in its cultural landscape.
HHF evaluated impacts on key environmental issue areas in three NPS-owned project sites (two
within the main Park boundaries and one site three miles mauka); prepared materials in support
of the project's Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation; prepared NEPA scoping meeting
graphic materials; and oversaw biological surveys of all three sites.

HHF Planners (HHF) led a project team to
develop a master plan for the Hanalei Black Pot
Beach Park, which includes the existing beach
park and additional parcels, in support of the
planned expansion of the park by the County
of Kaua'i, Department of Parks and Recreation.
Black Pot Beach Park is located on Hanalei Bay,
adjacent to the iconic Hanalei Pier and Hanalei
River. It is arguably one of the most scenic
locations in Hawai'i, attracting visitors from
all over the world, as well as providing one of
the touchstone recreation spots and gathering
places for residents of Hanalei and the North
Shore of Kaua'i. Surfers, kayakers, stand-up
paddlers, swimmers, fishermen, runners,
walkers, and sailors gravitate to Black Pot,
making it one of the most heavily used beach
parks in the State.
HHF's approach to the implementation of
the project was heavily influenced by an
aggressive community outreach program,
including a Citizen's Advisory Committee
(CAC), focus group meetings, and larger
community meetings. The participants on
the CAC and the focus groups include a
diverse representation of stakeholders that
_?% HHF PLANNERS
places forpeople
include recreational users, fishermen, canoe
clubs, Native Hawaiian groups, landowners,
and others. The uniqueness of the Hanalei
community required inclusion of as many
viewpoints as possible when considering the
elements of the master plan. In addition to
the effort to reach community members with
a mix of in -person meeting opportunities,
HHF developed a project website, Facebook
page, and a virtual open house to provide
background information, work products, and
the opportunity for residents to comment on
the project.
The preferred planning alternative — which
was completed before an unprecedented,
catastrophic flood event in April 2018
decimated portions of the beach park — was
instrumental to the County's swift response
efforts to rebuild and implement $6 million of
improvements as part of the recovery effort.
The HHF-led project team consisted of civil
engineers and surveyors, archaeological
consultants, landscape architects, planners and
a local community liaison.

HHF Planners (HHF) completed an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the State Department of Transportation,
Harbors Division (DOT-H) to remove the
superstructure of an existing pier at Hana
Harbor, Maui. The pier was originally
constructed in the 1920s to support the
shipment of sugarcane from Hana. Over the
years, the pier was also used to load cattle
aboard ships and more recently used by local
fishermen and residents for subsistence and
cultural activities.
Due to poor condition, the pier is now
condemned, off-limits to public access, and
poses a legal liability risk to DOT-H because
individuals continue to access the pier despite
fencing and warning signage. To be consistent
with DOT-H's mission, harbor facilities
under its jurisdiction must be available to
qualified commercial vessels. Although DOT-H
initially proposed to repair the pier, the
Hana community strongly objected to any
commercial use of the pier. Therefore, DOT-H
HHF PLANNERS

proposes to remove the decaying pier deck
to protect public safety and reduce its legal
liability. HHF supported DOT-H in the public
engagement process in which the community's
preferences were made clear.
Key EIS issues include potential impacts to
corals and the marine benthic community,
subsistence fishing, historic properties, and
social and cultural resources.

The building that currently serves as the home
for the Diamond Head Theatre (DHT) was
constructed in 1933, and has been without
major improvement since 1952. Originally a
movie house for the Army post of Ft. Ruger,
DHT has been adapted for live performances
and has provided live theater entertainment
to hundreds of thousands of Hawaii residents
and visitors over the years. After careful
consideration, DHT decided to pursue replacing
the existing facility with a new one. DHT
selected HHF Planners (HHF) to lead a team
of consultants to determine the feasibility of
building a new theater, including cost; size;
volume; site plan; and entitlement issues.
After working with DHT staff and members of
its board of directors for nine months, HHF
submitted a final report in the fall of 2009
outlining its findings, which concluded that a
new 500-seat facility with 100 parking stalls
was feasible from cost, design, and entitlement
perspectives.
_?% HHF PLANNERS
places forpeople
In 2017 HHF finalized an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the proposed new
structure. Based on the comments received
during the EA comment period, DHT explored
alternative design scenarios to address
issues raised by the community: lowering
the proposed fly loft from 61 feet to 50 feet,
retaining the existing steel -framed addition
at the rear of the building, and an overall
reduction in building footprint. Incorporating
these revised figures, written descriptions, and
analyses, the Final EA included a modified site
plan and building design. Subsequently, the
project received A Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) determination.
Working with HHF, DHT staff, and Board of Director members,
Mason Architects created this perspective drawing to capture the scale
and volume of the preferred alternative.

Hawaiian Memorial Park (HMP) is a full -
service cemetery providing the Kane'ohe
community and Hawai'i residents with burial
plots and a variety of interment options. The
cemetery is in need of expansion given growth
in O'ahu's aging population and demand for
ground interment and inurnment spaces. HHF
assisted Hawaiian Memorial Life Plan, Ltd.
(HMLP) in successfully petitioning the State
of Hawai'i, Land Use Commission to amend
the State land use district boundary for a
portion of its property ("Petition Area") from
the State Conservation District to the Urban
District to allow for cemetery expansion to
meet future burial plot needs. The proposed
project consists of two components: 1)
expansion of the HMP cemetery; and 2)
creation of a Cultural Preserve immediately
northeast of the cemetery expansion area.
The remaining undeveloped area would be
placed in a conservation easement, restricting
future development of the property except
for cemetery expansion development and
establishment of the Cultural Preserve.

HHF Planners (HHF) is currently working on
an Environmental Review (ER) of 71 Federally
funded residential projects statewide for the
State Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA)
HHF's actions support the HPHA's efforts to
obtain funding from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
to implement repair and rehabilitation
improvements to these housing projects and
ensure compliance with HUD environmental
review requirements. HHF's unique actions
undertaken for the HPHA in this project
include:
• Expediting and assembling different ER
reports to meet specialized HUD grant
funding requirements;
• Upload of ER analysis and supporting
documentation to the HUD Environmental
Review Online System (HERDS);
• Successfully managing statewide site
inspections and work tasks for projects; and
• Effectively evaluating and facilitating historic
preservation review applicable to certain
housing projects.

ERs involved completion of HUD Statutory
Worksheets and Source Document Statutory
Worksheets to justify receiving a Categorical
Exclusion under HUD environmental
regulations. Each housing project was
physically inspected, and a photo record was
created to document conditions. Interviews
were held with site managers and maintenance
personnel to support the assessment of
deficiencies and improvements needed at each
housing site. Sixteen (16) key subject areas
were evaluated for each housing project (e.g.
toxic chemicals and radioactive materials,
explosive and flammable operations, historic
preservation, floodplain management,
wetlands protection, etc.). The results of the
review were later uploaded to HERDS, HUD's
online system for managing environmental
reviews. This work supports and updates prior
ERs completed by HHF in 2003, 2006, 2010,
and 2015 for HPHA housing projects.
