Firm Background
Name of Firm or Individual, Principal Place of Business
and Location of All of Its Offices

facilities, and natural and cultural resources;
• Regional and community planning, including long-range regional analysis and planning,
GIS modeling and graphic development, community outreach and engagement (including
in-person and virtual meeting facilitation and interactive input), and sustainable design

Community Planning
(Public Access Planning)
PBR HAWAII provides professional services in the fields of regional and community planning,
strategic planning, facilities and campus planning, urban design, site planning, entitlements,
environmental planning, and land management. In our planning process, we emphasize resource
analysis, cultural context, community relations and outreach; land use compatibility; analysis of
government plans, policies and regulations; infrastructure support requirements; and a well-
coordinated, multi-disciplined team approach to meet the individual needs of our clients.
PBR HAWAII employs a contextual approach as part of its planning process. We study each new
project in its unique environment and analyze the existing issues and potential opportunities that
may influence our clients' goals. We conduct studies of topography, soils, vegetation, climate and
surrounding land uses to understand the site's environmental relationships. We employ outside
specialists when necessary to support our efforts with expertise in a wide range of special fields
such as: engineering, architecture, biology, hydrology, archaeology, marketing, economics, and
demographics. From these studies, we develop unique programs and approaches from which
creative and practical solutions may be derived.
PBR HAWAII has extensive experience in organizing charrettes and various types of public
meetings. Recognizing the importance of visual communication, PBR HAWAII'S graphics
department can produce effective and engaging presentations, reports, maps, and public relations
materials. To more fully engage the community, we also use technology such as keypad polling,
social media, and collaborative project management websites, and 3D where appropriate.
Through collaboration and investigation PBR HAWAII is able to develop unique programs and
approaches from which practical solutions may be derived. Our finished products (whether a
development plan or a specialized study) are sources of information, programs for correction, and
estimates of future needs. Our plans are designed to reflect our clients' goals, to coordinate
actions, and to guide project implementation. But most importantly, our plans are intended to
serve as a framework for decision making. Therefore, a close rapport is always maintained with
our clients so that our finished products meet their needs and expectations.
Public access planning requires balancing environmental sensitivities, cultural values, community
concerns, legal rights and obligations, and maintenance responsibilities. We employ GIS
geodatabases to organize and present the extensive data that is the foundation for conflict
resolution and sound management. The combination of our planning expertise, community
participation efforts, landscape architecture capabilities, and graphics skills enables us to address
public access planning from inventory studies to specific trail and wayfinding design.
Our finished products provide clients with useful information, programs for action, and
projections of future needs to support their near-term and long-range goals. Our plans serve as a
framework for our clients' decision making, create a close rapport, and typically exceed
expectations. Our clients' success and reputation in the community are what drives us.

PBR HAWAII
Our Commitment to Sustainability
For 54 years, PBR HAWAII has been incorporating culturally appropriate sustainable design in our
practice. This commitment to sustainability is best described by the term localesolutions, which
at its core focuses on place-based sustainable design solutions. This approach is based on an
understanding of a "locale" or "place,"its natural environment(ecosystem and natural resources),
its people, local history, and culture as the context to inform the development of appropriate
sustainable design solutions. Based on this approach, our design solutions strive to incorporate:
• The latest sustainable design practices to reduce a project's impact on the environment;
• Considerations for both short-term and long-term economic sustainability; and
• The cultural and social context of a place.
PBR HAWAII'S sustainability practice includes: 1) the preparation of Sustainability Plans and plans
which incorporate sustainability guidelines; and 2) LEED® (Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design) consulting services to aid in the Green Building Certification process.
These are described further below.
Sustainability Plans and Guidelines
PBR HAWAII has prepared Sustainability Plans and related planning documents that incorporate
sustainability guidelines for the following private and public sector projects:
• Sustainability Plans
o `0`oma Beachside Village Sustainability Plan (Hawai`i)
o Waiale Sustainability Plan (Maui)
• Plans that Incorporate Sustainable Design Guidelines
o UH West 0`ahu Long Range Development Plan
o UH West 0`ahu Non-Campus Lands Master Plan
o Kapi`olani Community College Long Range Development Plan
o Lihu'e Town Core Urban Design Plan
LEED Consulting
PBR HAWAII'S sustainability practice includes: 1) the preparation of Sustainability Plans and plans
which incorporate sustainability guidelines; and 2) LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design) consulting services to aid in the Green Building Certification process. The firm has five
LEED Accredited Professionals (two LEED AP BD+C, one LEED AP ID+C, one SITES AP), five
licensed landscape architects, three certified planners (AICP), and one Ph.D. on staff who provide
design and consulting services relevant to each project. PBR HAWAII has been involved in a

Capacity to Complete the Work in the Required Time
PBR HAWAII'S staff is capable of immediate start and timely completion of projects. Our current
workload projections conclude that we have well-trained and experienced staff to accomplish
assignments. With our 40 employees, PBR HAWAII is one of the largest planning and landscape
architectural firms in the state. PBR HAWAII has the capability and experience of responding to
client demands on moment's notice. As a service business, it is our goal to maintain satisfied
clients from project start to finish. Repeat clientele represents approximately 80% of our work
and is evidence of PBR HAWAII'S ability to provide timely service and quality products year after
year.
It is our goal to respond to each assignment effectively and rapidly, while ensuring the successful
implementation of project requirements. PBR HAWAII is also committed to immediate start-up on
projects for Client emergencies or unexpected needs. A principal will be assigned to every project
to see that project schedules are met. The process we propose consists of following administrative
procedures:
1. Meet with Client and determine/identify critical project components and other logistical or
coordination project needs.
2. Visit project site.
3. Evaluate the project scope, budgets, scheduling constraints/requirements and logistical
considerations such as travel,work sequencing, equipment acquisition, etc.
4. Make key project assignments based on Client needs and schedule.
5. Initiate appropriate project controls, methodology to monitor progress reports, and final
delivery schedules.
Tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Project are often helpful to develop a workflow
that integrates project planning, design, and construction tasks. A PBR HAWAII project manager
for a specific project would use such a tool to determine opportunities for concurrent work tasks,
as well as monitor critical path tasks that affect overall project delivery. The project schedule
would evolve in detail and approach and will be updated regularly. Regular team meetings
provide a means to ensure assignments get accomplished in a timely manner and to anticipate and
come up with solutions for new issues. Concise meeting notes will be timely disseminated to
document decisions and next steps, as well as to guide accountability.A controlled-access Internet
site for team members (e.g., Basecamp) is useful to share files, exchange messages, assign tasks,
and manage a calendar.
PBR HAWAII has established a system for internal communication in which the project manager
constantly coordinates, and reviews staff work products and relays this information to the
principal-in-charge of the project. A system for critiques has been established to allow staff input
and to take advantage of individual talents and experiences. Points of contact within the firm are
established for coordination with consultants and with project team members. Project managers
are required to keep consultants and other project team members abreast of project status
through weekly or bi-weekly (depending on project requirements) coordination meetings and
memorandums. Communication with other consultants is not a problem as PBR HAWAII utilizes
state of the art technology and software to keep these consultants abreast on the project status. A
coordination check list along with standard process charts, schedules, and timelines are
established to complete projects on schedule and within budget. The related projects listed are
examples of projects completed on time and on budget.

Relevant Projects
Over the years, PBR HAWAII has been fortunate to have provided our services to federal agencies,
State of Hawai'i agencies, county agencies on all islands, and most large land owners and
developers throughout the state. The following projects provide an example of our diverse
planning experience.
Honua`ula Forest Reserve Visitor Use Management Plan, Kona, Hawaii
PBR HAWAII conducted the Honua'ula Forest Reserve Public Use Study, on the Hawaii Island, in
support of a larger planning effort by the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural
Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) to develop the Honua'ula Forest Reserve
Management Plan. The Honua'ula Forest Reserve, like many reserves within the DOFAW managed
Forest Reserve System, was established as a public-private partnership to protect local forested
lands.
Historically, the majority of the reserve was landlocked and public access was granted only to
those who received permission to traverse neighboring private properties. Due to a recent land
acquisition that now connects most of the reserve to a major State highway, the reserve is more
accessible to the public. To support existing demand for recreational space within the reserve and
plan for the long-term sustainable management of uses into the future, DOFAW contracted PBR
HAWAII to develop the Honua'ula Public Use Study which investigated publicly supported
recreational opportunities and provided an analysis of the associated potential impacts to natural
resources. The analysis was performed by integrating public use preference data into a natural
resource planning framework developed by Federal agencies within the Interagency Visitor Use
Management Council (IVUMC).
PBR HAWAII was responsible for engaging "
community members and key stakeholders in a " r'.
manner that allowed for the integration of ..

public use preference data into a federal � at � ' " - '`,

Ka`iwa Ridge (Lanikai Pillbox) Trail Improvements, Management Plan,
Environmental Assessment, and Conservation District Use Permit Project,
Oahu
PBR HAWAII is assisting the DLNR, Division of Forestry and Wildlife Na Ala Hele Trails Program
with a plan to make improvements to the Kafiwa Ridge Trail (Lanikai Pillbox Trail).
The project involves developing a plan for physical improvements of the Kafiwa Ridge Trail that
reduces erosion and provides an improved hiker experience. The goal is to provide safer
conditions while developing a management plan for the trail that: 1) upholds the right of public
access to mauka lands; 2) is compliant with HRS Chapter 198D and HAR Title 13, Chapter 130; and
3) lays the groundwork for reduced community conflict.
Project tasks include: 1) better defining the legal trail corridor and trail management
responsibilities; 2) a survey of existing natural and cultural resources; 3) identifying the points of
community conflict; and 4) developing a plan for physical improvements and management.
PBR HAWAII is responsible for community engagement, trail drawings, and a comprehensive
management plan. PBR HAWAII is working with a civil engineer/hydrologist to develop a physical
plan for the trail that addresses chronic erosion. PBR HAWAII will also prepare an Environmental
Assessment and Conservation District Use Application to ready the project for future design and
construction.

Wailuku Civic Complex Master Plan and Environmental Assessment, Maui
PBR HAWAII was part of the Ferraro Choi team working with the Maui County Planning
Department on the Wailuku Civic Complex Master Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA).
Building on the County's earlier reWailuku efforts, PBR HAWAII spearheaded the public outreach
and created the reWailuku website that was updated with information related to the Civic
Complex and other County projects in Wailuku. PBR HAWAII also designed the outdoor spaces at
the Civic Complex including improved pedestrian connections, streetscape improvements on
Vineyard and Church Streets, and a new plaza that will be the pu'uwai, or heart, of Wailuku Town.
PBR HAWAII also completed the EA/FONSI to support the project.

Diamond Head State Monument Implementation Plan, Oahu
Diamond Head (Le`ahi) is one of Hawai`i's most iconic geological features and a significant natural,
cultural, historical, and recreational resource. PBR HAWAII completed the Diamond Head Master
Plan in 1999. Since then, visitation to Diamond Head has doubled, resulting in pedestrian and
vehicular congestion. In 2018, Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) State Parks
contracted PBR HAWAII to assist in proposing improvements to the Diamond Head State
Monument to enhance and diversify visitor experiences in and around the crater. As part of the
work, PBR HAWAII prepared a public participation plan, which included use of social media to
cost-effectively increase public engagement.
In addition, PBR HAWAII used ArcGIS StoryMap to produce a webpage to provide information
about proposed improvements and obtain input. The StoryMap also included an on-line survey
(SurveyMonkey). In total, more than 500 people responded to on-line survey, to provide both
DLNR State Parks and legislators with feedback to support proposed improvements.

South Kauai Community Plan, Kauai
PBR HAWAII worked closely with the County of Kauai Planning Department to update the South
Kauai Community Plan (SKCP), which had not been updated since its enactment in 1978. The
SKCP is the County's guiding document for the long-range growth and development of the
southern sector of the island. Adopted by the County Council and signed into law by the Mayor in
July 2015, it won two American Planning Association Hawaii Chapter Awards later that year for
Outstanding Planning and Best Practice.
Guided by extensive community outreach and a Mayor-appointed Citizen Advisory Committee,
PBR HAWAII developed the plan to integrate projected population growth for the district with
land use recommendations and a multimodal transportation network which prioritizes
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit use to preserve South Kaua`i's rural two-lane roadways and
lifestyle. Community surveys, workshops, charrettes, social media campaigns, a project website,
and walk audits were used to inform alternative solutions for South Kauai's historic towns.
The SKCP also includes an innovative form-based code developed in partnership with Opticos
Design, Inc. It is applied only in key town core locations and is calibrated to the existing
communities to encourage future development that is in tune with its surroundings and best
fulfills the community's vision for future growth. The SKCP: 1) identifies cultural, natural, and
historic resources for protection; and 2) includes plans for climate change and natural and coastal
hazards, social and economic change, infrastructure requirements, and parks and recreational
needs. The SKCP concludes with a chapter on implementation and monitoring and an action plan
for County agencies. Indicators are identified to help monitor the effectiveness of plan
implementation over time. Cost estimates and financing and funding alternatives also provide the
County ,,..„.....,_,
with actionable items to include in their capital improvement budgets.

Kaka`ako Makai Parks Active Use Facilities Master Plan, Oahu
PBR HAWAII worked with the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) to prepare an
active use facilities master plan and an environmental impact statement (EIS) for HCDA's Makai
Area parks: Kaka'ako Waterfront Park, Gateway Park, and Kewalo Basin Park. To gather public
input on park preferences and proposed improvements, PBR HAWAII, in coordination with HCDA,
conducted a robust public engagement program. This included a series open house events over a
nine-month period to collect information from the public and allow community members to
interact, share stories, ask questions, and provide suggestions one-on-one with the project team.
Some of the open houses utilized keypad polling to gather instantaneous feedback on a wide range
of issues. Throughout the process PBR HAWAII also employed and on-line engagement platform to
reach people who may not attend public meetings, but nonetheless may want to contribute to the
planning process.

Wells Park Master Plan and Community Outreach, Maui
PBR HAWAII worked with the County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to
develop a master plan for Wells Park in Wailuku. Before the project began, many from the
community started out in opposition to the Wells Park Master Plan effort and attended the first
kick-off meeting with the intent to fight any proposals the County had for the park. However, this
was the first time DPR sought community input before developing a park master plan, so the
community was surprised there was no plan already in place.
The process involved extensive community outreach to gather input prior to developing the plan,
including a project website and several meetings with a community advisory group. With this
input, PBR HAWAII prepared three conceptual plans which the advisory group and the general
community vetted at open houses and at Wailuku's First Friday events. PBR HAWAII then
prepared a preferred master plan in conjunction with the advisory group and presented this plan
at a community open house and a subsequent First Friday event.
At the end of the process, the community advisory group was able to compromise and collaborate
with each other on the key features of the park master plan and the final master plan presented to
the community faced zero opposition. PBR HAWAII completed the final master plan and report,
which included a phasing plan and cost estimates to help the County fund the construction.

Hawaii Ocean Resources Management Plan Update, State of Hawaii
PBR HAWAII supported the State Office of Planning Coastal Zone Management Program (CZM)
with an update Statewide Ocean Resource Management Plan (ORMP). The work involves
statewide public and stakeholder information sharing sessions, incorporation of Traditional
Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and enhanced graphics.
Updated every five years, the ORMP facilitates compliance with CZM objectives and policies by
improving inter-agency collaboration across natural resources rather than jurisdictional
boundaries. The goals for this update of the ORMP are to:
• Increase the plan's utility to state agencies, plan partners, and the community, recognizing
the Plan's primary purpose is as a State Comprehensive Plan intended for use in inter-
agency collaboration.
• Distill the number of focus areas to a few (1-3) that appear to be ripe for interagency
collaboration for the greatest impact and unify future implementation efforts.
• Develop a project list that is focused and achievable.
• Integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in the planning process, focus areas, and
project list.
• Enhance readability of the document through streamlining and graphic enhancement.
• Capitalize on technology and one-on-one connections to reach a broad audience to capture
and carry forward implementation.

Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2021 Update
The Department of Land and Natural Resources State Parks
,::1 Division selected PBR HAWAII to prepare the 2021 State of
STATEWIDE
COMPREHENSIVE Hawai 1 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
OUTDOOR ,—'^" (SCORP). Generally, SCORP updates are done approximately
RECREATION PLA
2021 every five years and PBR HAWAII also prepared the 2015, 2008,
�. ""
and 2003 updates.
` As a technical reference,the SCORP report, maps and associated
et
data are intended to guide federal, state, county, and private
‘11.4444441° agencies in the planning, development, and management of
14 _ -e- Hawai`i's outdoor recreation resources. The 2015 SCORP
r ta °
update focused on identifying and addressing the shifting
w. <_ trends and challenges related to outdoor recreation including
°'� '- - maintenance backlogs, user conflicts, and the effects of sea level
a
DECEMBER 2021 rise.
The SCORP also includes the State Wetland Resource Plan
which draws connections between recreation and wetlands while ensuring consistency between
Hawai'i's recreation planning process and the National Wetlands Priority Conservation Plan.
For the 2015 update, in response to a reduced budget and the population's growing use of
technology for communications, PBR HAWAII collected public comments using a suite of web-
based services that allowed the public to participate in on-line surveys as well as in-person public
meetings. The on-line surveys facilitated a higher public participation rate than in prior editions of
the SCORP.
The 2021 update is the eleventh update of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan,
which was first prepared by the State in 1966. The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF) Act of 1965, requires the preparation of a SCORP document from each state prior to
consideration by the Secretary of the Interior for financial assistance. Since the inception of the
program, the State of Hawaii and the four counties have received more than $36 million in federal
grants for outdoor recreation acquisition and development projects.

Ha`ena State Park Master Plan and EIS, Kauai
Building on years of previous park planning efforts, PBR HAWAII worked with State Parks and the
Ha`ena community to develop a park master plan that focuses on the importance of Ha`ena in
Hawaiian culture and prioritizes the protection, rehabilitation, and restoration of the park's varied
historic, cultural, and natural resources such as the extensive Ha`ena Agricultural Complex, the
sand dunes and reefs, and the ancient Hula Complex encompassing Ka Ulu a Paoa Heiau and Ke
Ahu a Laka.
The proposed improvements were minimal including a new entry path through the restored lo`i
connecting a permeably-paved parking lot to Ke`e Beach, directing visitors away from rockfall
hazards along the highway, new restrooms, and the implementation of a new visitor limit, shuttle
access, ongoing support from community and cultural advisory groups, and an online reservation
system.
PBR HAWAII completed the master plan and Final EIS in 2018 and the result has been a highly
improved experience where visitors are emersed in the restored cultural landscape and local
residents feel welcome at the park again. The plan is being heralded as an example to help manage
other cherished parks that are often overrun by visitors and has won several awards including:
o 2020 American Planning Association, Hawaii Chapter Outstanding Planning Award
o 2021 American Society of Landscape Architects, Hawaii Chapter Honor Award - Planning&
Analysis
o 2021 Historic Hawaii Foundation Historic Preservation Programmatic Award.

Flood Vulnerability Assessment Report, Statewide
PBR HAWAII prepared the 0`ahu, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kauai Island Flood
Vulnerability Assessment Reports. These reports satisfy a technical pilot project to: 1) assess flood
risk vulnerability statewide; and 2) provide the Federal Emergency Management Agency with
information identifying areas that need to be studied on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
The analysis included compiling GIS data to illustrate probable flood areas and pairing it with
asset mapping to develop flood vulnerability maps. The resulting maps offer the State a direction
in suggesting where FEMA should focus flood mapping resources.
For Hawaii Island, PBR HAWAII prepared a building footprint layer in GIS. The flood vulnerability

Pahoa Park Expansion Master Plan and Environmental Assessment, Hawaii
The Pahoa Park Expansion Master Plan is a proposed expansion of an existing County park. The
master plan site consists of 71.121 acres. The eastern quarter of this area is currently developed
with park and community facilities including an aquatic center, ball fields, a basketball court, a
skate park, a Community Center, and a Senior Center.
The purpose of this Pahoa Park Expansion Master Plan is to: 1) provide improved and more
diverse athletic and recreational opportunities to Pahoa Town and the entire Puna District;
2) remedy the existing drainage problems often present at the park; and 3) provide an orderly
build out of the park with appropriate pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and adequate
infrastructure to support the master plan build out.
This master plan implements a course of action of the General Plan to "maximize the use of the
Pahoa Neighborhood Facility site to serve the recreational needs of the lower Puna area." The
General Plan also recognizes that"cool and rainy weather requires that there be extensive covered
and indoor recreational areas." This master plan also implements an action proposed by the Puna
Community Development Plan to expand the existing park and create a regional park.
PBR HAWAII also assisted the County with preparing and processing an environmental
assessment for the Pahoa Park Expansion Master Plan pursuant to Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised
Statutes to support the proposed expansion.

Waikiki War Memorial Complex - Natatorium, O`ahu
The City and County of Honolulu Department of Design and Construction (City) proposes to
remedy the current deteriorated state of the Waikiki War Memorial Complex (WWMC)
Natatorium in a manner that renews the memorial to World War I veterans and reestablishes
public access to this portion of Kapi`olani Regional Park. The City's proposed action is to construct
and operate a rehabilitated WWMC "Perimeter Deck" that would retain as much of the physical
structure that defines the historic integrity of the Natatorium as possible without subjecting the
Natatorium to the State requirements for public swimming pools, Hawaii Administrative Rules

Ala Pono, An Ala Wai Crossing Alternatives Analysis, Oahu
PBR HAWAII provided planning and community engagement services to Nelson\Nygaard
transportation consultants on a City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation
Services (DTS) project to identify, develop, and evaluate alternatives for additional access across
the Ala Wai Canal. The Alternatives Analysis (conducted by Nelson\Nygaard) assessed options for
new transportation infrastructure, including a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over the Ala Wai Canal
that will provide an additional connection between the Waikiki, Ala Moana, and McCully/MO'ili'ili
neighborhoods.
PBR HAWAII'S primary tasks included community engagement and preliminary environmental
documentation to support the analysis process and set a foundation for future phases of the
design development. Community engagement tasks included: 1) supporting DTS with briefings to
stakeholders such as community groups, funding agencies, educational institutions, and elected
officials; 2) organizing and staffing informational "pop-ups" for the general public; 3) organizing
and facilitating public meetings to involve the public in consideration of alternatives; and
4) preparing supporting materials such as fact sheets, web content, social media posts, electronic
presentations, and posters. As part of the community engagement work, unique community
engagement partnerships were formed. PBR HAWAII staff presented the Ala Pono project and
conducted a site visit with Jefferson Elementary students as part of their STEM curriculum. PBR
HAWAII staff also used the alternatives analysis as a vehicle for a site planning class at UH Manoa.
The final public meeting to share outcomes of the analysis included boards prepared by the
elementary students,with the aspiring engineers on hand to share their work with the public.
Preliminary environmental documentation tasks include conducting pre-assessment consultation
consistent with Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised Statutes, development of a report of potential
impacts and mitigation measures for the alternatives, and identification of local, state, and federal
permits required for regulatory clearance.

Alternative Funding Mechanisms for Acquisition and Maintenance of
Shoreline Public Access
PBR HAWAII'S work for the Office of Planning involved compiling over 70 alternative ways to
finance both mauka-makai and lateral shoreline public access. Traditional funding sources-state
or county general funds - are a diminishing source for acquisition, improvements, and
maintenance of shoreline access. With the likelihood that general funds will continue to be scarce,
the objective of this study was to be a positive force for public access by identifying new and
creative techniques to finance not just acquisition,but the needed improvements and maintenance
for safe and responsible access. Sources of information for the alternative funding mechanisms
included an Advisory Committee of Hawaii government agency representatives, other U.S. states,
municipalities, and public-private partnerships. Based on input from the Advisory Committee, the
report also included a series of financing principles to guide users of the report in the selection of
applicable and appropriate financing methods for their particular need. The Office of Planning will
use the recommendations of the final report to set up a shoreline access forum, comprised of state
and county officials, to increase and streamline funding of shoreline access in the state.
Kapalua Coastal Trail, Maui
PBR HAWAII prepared an environmental assessment, a Special Management Area Use Permit
application, a Shoreline Setback Determination application, and a Conservation District Use
Application for the Kapalua Coastal Trail. When complete the Kapalua Coastal Trail will run 3.5
miles from the Kapalua Resort to Honolua Bay. Trail users will be rewarded with dramatic vistas
of the shoreline, neighboring islands, and resort features, as well as exposure to important aspects
of Hawaiian culture, geology, and plant and animal life. In 2007 the American Planning Association
Hawaii Chapter recognized the Kapalua Coastal Trail with an award for outstanding
environmental planning and preservation.

Thomas Square Park Master Plan Update & Renovation, Oahu
The objective of the Thomas Square Master Plan was to prepare an implementable plan for
renovation of a historically significant urban park. The City and County of Honolulu contracted
with PBR HAWAII to: 1) analyze the existing conditions and the history of Thomas Square; and
2) develop a landscape master plan that tells the story of the park's history in relation to 1843
restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy.
To gather input and design inspiration, PBR HAWAII held community meetings; interviewed
cultural practitioners and representatives of the arts community and surrounding business and
institutions; and deployed an on-line public engagement tool. PBR HAWAII then developed several
design iterations, and prepared and processed an Environmental Assessment and Special District
Permit Application.
The concept was to communicate by imbedding cultural lessons and inspire a "yearn to learn."The
resulting design surrounds the flag with seven concentric rings, representing lei from the islands.
This was to declare that the historic events at Thomas Square should be remembered not just on
0`ahu, but for their significance for all Hawaii. The radii of the rings are proportionate to the size
of each island, but the Big Island does not have a band (there is no 8th ring) as the plaza would
have been too large and costly. Instead, we placed the statue of King Kamehameha III, Kauikeaouli,
50-feet from the flagpole,to represent his birthplace on the Big Island and the 50th state.
Ancient Hawaiians used solstice alignments for agriculture purposes and religious/ceremonial
purposes. The statue of Kauikeaouli is aligned with the winter and summer solstices - sunrise and
sunset, and his gesturing arm is positioned to accept the Hawaiian flag. The flag pole also acts as a
(cultural) solar compass, where the five crossing bands in the plaza that surround it point to the
four cardinal orientations, and toward Kukaniloko in Wahiawa, the traditional birthing place of
Hawaiian ali`i.

NTBG Kahanu Garden Master Plan, Maui
PBR HAWAII prepared a master plan for the National Tropical Botanical Garden's Kahanu Garden
in Hana, Maui. Kahanu Garden encompasses over 460 acres of the Honoma'ele Ahupua'a and is
home to Hale o Pi'ilani Heiau, the largest heiau in the State of Hawaii. It also includes NTBG's
world-renown Breadfruit Institute and one of the last remaining stretches of native Hala forests.
NTBG initiated the master planning process with community meetings and consultations with
Native Hawaiian cultural experts, the Kahanu Family, and archaeologists. PBR HAWAII brought
together the various pieces--the goals, vision, cultural guidelines--and worked with the staff to
develop the master plan. Balancing cultural sensitivities, environmental restoration, scientific
research, and public education, the master plan provides the blueprint for Kahanu Garden's future
development and outlines the appropriate cultural protocols to be followed with regards to Hale o
Pi'ilani Heiau.
The master plan won the Environment/Preservation Award from the American Planning
Association-Hawaii Chapter in 2005. PBR HAWAII also supported the Garden by designing
interpretive signs in both Hawaiian and English to help educate visitors about the rich cultural and
natural resources to be experienced at Kahanu Garden.
