ZENDO KERN, PLANNING DIRECTOR,
COUNTY OF HAWAI`I'S DECLARATORY ORDER
I, BACKGROUND
Hokuli'ais a master-planned community located in Kealakekua, Hawaii ("Project")
originally developed by 1250 Oceanside Partners (the "Original Developer"). On January 15,
1996, the Original Developer obtained two ordinances to rezone the property comprising the
Project: County of Hawaii ("County") Ordinance No. 96-7 and 96-8 (collectively
"Ordinances"), among other approvals. Together, the Ordinances rezoned the Project property to
Agricultural 1-acre, subject to various conditions. Following the Ordinances' enactment, the
Original Developer entered into a Development Agreement with the County, dated April 20,
1998,which set forth,inter alia, requirements relating to the acquisition of land for and the
construction of a bypass road, the development of a shoreline park, and the donation of a right-
of-way to the park ("Development Agreement"), In consideration, the Original Developer was
granted the right to develop the Project in accordance with the Ordinances and other approvals in
1
EXHIBIT A 894
force as of the date of the Development Agreement. Tn other words, the Ordinances and other
land use regulations applicable to the Project were "locked in" as of the date of the Development
Agreement for a period of thirty years.
As permitted by Hawai'i County Code("HCC") § 23-81 (1 983), and in lieu of actual
construction of infrastructure and roadway improvements, the Ordinances allowed, the Original
Developer to enter into an agreement with the County assuring the County the improvements
would be constructed, provided the Original Developer post an appropriate bond, surety or other
security deemed acceptable to the County. Upon the execution of such agreement and the
deposit of the security with the County, final subdivision approval would be granted prior to the
actual construction of improvements pursuant to HCC § 23-81. Further,the Development
Agreement required the Original Developer to post a bond in favor of the County to assure that
the improvements relating to various roadway requirements would be constructed prior to the
issuance of the first final small-lot subdivision approval for any portion of the Project.
Development Agreement § 13(b).
The Original Developer entered into a series of agreements and posted bonds for
various portions of the required improvements. These included, inter alia, agreements for
regional traffic improvements, subdivision improvements, and road maintenance. Based on
these agreements and the bonds, the County issued final subdivision approval for Phase I of the
Project on September 18, 1999, and Phase 11 on December 1, 2000. Portions of the covered
improvements were constructed by the Original Developer but many were uncompleted within
the deadlines set in the agreements.
On April 29, 2010, Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida wrote to the Original
Developer detailing the material breach of the Development Agreement and subdivision
2
EXHIBIT A 895
agreements due to the failure to timely construct the required improvements and the invalidity of
the bonds provided to the County. See Mr. Ashida's letter to John De Fries, dated April 29,
2010, attached hereto as Exhibit"A".
In 2012, 1250 Oceanside,LLC ("Oceanside") acquired the Original Developer's
outstanding loans and took over the Project, Over the years, the Mamalahoa Bypass Road
("Bypass"), the Haleki`i Street extension and portions of the subdivision improvements were
constructed, The property underlying the Bypass was conveyed to the County and the extension
of Haleki`i Street to the mauka side of the Bypass ("Mauka Halekii Extension")was accepted
by the Hawaii County Council ("Council") through dedication. County Resolution No. 317-12,
adopted November 9, 2012 ("Resolution 317-12").
After multiple inquiries with the County about the status of the dedication of the
internal Project roadways, i.e., a continuation of Haleki`i Street makai of the Bypass("Makai
Haleki`i Extension") and a north-south connector stub road from the Makai Haleki'i Extension to
the boundaries of the Project's adjoining properties ("Connector Road"), and other matters,on
March 31, 2023, C & J Coupe Family Limited Partnership (Petitioner"), an adjacent landowner,
filed an action in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit, State of Hawaii alleging that Oceanside
has failed to comply with, and the County has failed to enforce,the Ordinances, among other
claims. See C& J Couple Family Limited P'Ship v. Cowl tV vfHawai`i et al., Civil No. 3CCV-
23-0000123 ("Lawsuit"). On September 15, 2023, the Circuit Court ruled Petitioner"shall avail
itself of the declaratory ruling procedure provided under Hawai`i Revised Statutes ("Haw.Rev.
Stat.") ch. 91 and Planning's Rules of Practice and Procedure to seek a declaratory ruling from

11. APPLICABLE RULES; DIRECTOR AUTHORITY
Pursuant to Haw. Rev. Stat. § 91-8 (2012):
[a]ny interested person may petition an agency for a declaratory order as to the
applicability of any statutory provision or of any rule or order of the agency.
Each agency shall adopt rules prescribing the form of the petitions and the
procedure for their submission, consideration, and prompt disposition. Orders
disposing of petitions in such cases shall have the same status as other agency
orders.
Planning's Rules of Practice and Procedure ("Planning Rules") govern the declaratory ruling
process. Rule 3.1(a) thereof gives Planning's Director("Director")the discretion to"issue a
declaratory order as to the applicability of any statutory provision, ordinance, or any rule or order
of the Director or the Department." Planning Rule 3-1(b) requires that the filing of a petition for
a declaratory ruling must contain:
1 "Planning" or"Department" as used herein means the County's Planning Department.
4
EXHIBIT A 897
(1) A non-refundable filing and processing fee of one hundred dollars;
(2) Name, address, telephone number, if available, and signature of each petitioner;
(3) A designation of the specific provision, rule, or order in question, together with a
statement of the controversy or uncertainty involved; and
(4) A statement of the petitioner's position or contention; and
(5) A memorandum of authorities, containing a full discussion of reasons and legal
authorities in support of such position or contention.
The declaratory ruling procedure is one"whereby an interested party could seek agency
advice as to how a statute, agency rule, or order would apply to particular circumstances not yet
determined." Citizens Against Reckless Development v. Zoning Board of Appeals oldie City and
County of.Honolulu ("CARD"), 114 Hawaii 184, 197, 159 P.3d 143, 156 (2007). "Use of the
declaratory ruling procedural device only makes sense where the applicability of relevant law is
unknown, either because the agency has not yet acted upon particular factual circumstances, or
for some other reason the applicability of some provisions of law have not been brought into
consideration." Id. [T]he declaratory ruling procedure was not intended to be utilized to seek
review of agency determinations that have already been made and which have not been timely
appealed." Id., 114 Hawai`i at 196, 159 P.3d at 155.
III. ANALYSIS; RULING
A. Petitioner's Request
The Petition requests the Director to issue a declaratory ruling as to the following
questions:
1. Determine whether the Planning Director has the authority to determine—under
the HRS, Hawaii Charter, County Code, and the Development Agreement—whether Oceanside
is currently in compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement.
5
EXHIBIT A 898
2. Determine whether the Planning Director has the authority—under the HRS,
Hawaii Charter, County Code and Development Agreement—to determine material breaches of
the Development Agreement.
3. Determine which County official, if any, has the power to excuse a breach of the
Development Agreement.

dictate of County law.
8. Determine whether obligations in a development agreement can be excused by

were violations of Petitioner's right to due process of law.
By its Supplemental Petition, Petitioner has requested the Director to issue a
declaratory ruling as to the following additional questions:

B. Department's Response
1_ Questions Outside the Scope of the Director's Authority: Non-Compliance
With Planning Rule 3-1(b)
Questions posed which do not comply with the requirements of Planning Rule 3-1(b)
will not be addressed in this Order. The following questions do not designate a specific
provision, rule or order of the Director or the Department as Planning Rule 3-1(b)(3) requires:
Initial Petition
a. Question 1 does not designate any specific provision, rule or order of the
Director or the Department. Tt seeks an interpretation of the Development Agreement but the
Development Agreement is not a Department order.
b. Questions 3, 8, and 10 do not designate a specific provision, rule or order
of the Director or the Department.
Supplemental Petition
8
EXHIBIT A 901
a. Questions I, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 19 do not designate any
specific provision,rule or order of the Director or the Department.
b. Questions 2, 3, 4, 14, and 15 do not designate any specific provision, rule
or order of the Director or the Department and are an inappropriate reversal of the Petitioner's
and Director's roles pursuant to Rule 3-1(b) in that, rather than providing the Director with the
law to be applied and interpreted, Petitioner requests the Director cite to the applicable law.
2. Questions Outside the Scope of the Director's Authority: Requesting
Review of Prior Reviewable Actions
The following questions are focused on concrete agency decisions or past actions,
whether by the Department or another agency of the County, for which other means of review
are or were available. These requests are inconsistent with the purpose of Haw. Rev. Stat. ch. 91
and Planning Rule 3, see CARD, 114 Hawaii at 197, 159 P.3d at 156, and, therefore, they will
not be addressed in this Order:
Initial Petition
1. Question 2 seeks an interpretation of the Development Agreement but the
Development Agreement is not a Department order.
2. Question 5 seeks an interpretation of the Development Agreement but the
Development Agreement is not a Department order, and/or seeks review or affirmance of a
Council action over which the Director has no authority, and/or seeks review or affirmance of a
past Department action, i.e., the issuance of Variance 10-027, which is no longer appealable. See
CARD, 114 Hawai`i at 196, 159 P.3d at 155 (explaining declaratory ruling procedure not for
review of past agency decisions which are no longer appealable).
9
EXHIBIT A 902
3. Questions 6 and 7 seek review or affirmance of a past Department action,
i.e., the issuance of Variance 10-027, which is no longer appealable. See CARD, 114 Hawaii at
196, 159 P.3d at 155.
4. Question 9 seeks review or affirmance of a Council action over which the
Director has no authority.
Supplemental Petition
1 . Questions 11, 12,and 13 seek review or affirmance of a past Department
action, i.e., the issuance of Variance 10-027, which is no longer appealable. See CARD, 114
Hawaii at 196, 159 P.3d at 155.
To avoid an unauthorized exercise of discretion, the Director will not address the
Petition's above-referenced questions.
2. Questions Partially Within the Scope of the Director's Authority
To the extent Initial Petition Question 4 requests the Director to interpret the
Development Agreement, the question will not be addressed in this Order. To the extent that
Supplemental Question 10 seeks procedural advice from the Director, the question will not be
addressed in this Order. However, addressing the Ordinances' requirements and Oceanside's
compliance therewith is a question which seeks Department advice on how a statute, agency rule,
or order would apply to a specific set of facts. To the extent Initial Petition Question 4 and
Supplemental Petition Questions 6 and 10 request an interpretation of the Ordinances' conditions
as applied to the Project, those questions are within the Director's authority.
a. The Ordinances' Relevant Requirements
Ordinance 96-7, Conditions M(4)and M(5), require that"[p]rior to the issuance of
Final Subdivision Approval for any portion of subject property", the applicant shall "construct"
10
EXHIBIT A 903
the Mauka Haleki'i Extension and Makai Haleki`i Extension and"provide" the Connector Road,
and the phasing of the same shall be approved by the County's Department of Public Works
("DPW"). See Ordinance 96-7, at 1.5-16, attached hereto as Exhibit"B".
Ordinance 96-7, Condition K, requires that, "prior to final subdivision approval, or
any land alteration activity," a"final comprehensive public access plan shall be developed" and
include, inter alia, public "mauka-makai and lateral shoreline accesses". Ordinance 96-7, at 12-
13 (Exhibit "B").
Ordinance 96-7, Condition L, requires the "right to public access and recreational
use of[the Project's] privately owned coastline park and trails" be conveyed to the County "by
way of a perpetual easement". Id, at 14. Condition L specifically requires the applicant to
retain fee simple ownership of the shoreline park and, to the extent any roadway, trail or other
rights-of-way become deemed a public highway or trail under Haw. Rev. Stat. ch. 264,
Condition L shall no longer be applicable. See id.
Ordinance 96-8, Conditions L(4) and L(5), also require the construction of certain
roadway improvements prior to the issuance of final subdivision approval for any portion of the
Project,including construction of the Mauka Haleki i Extension, Makai Haleki`i Extension and
the Connector Road. See Ordinance 96-8, at 24, attached hereto as Exhibit"C". Ordinance 96-
8, Condition M, requires all roadway improvements stated in Ordinance 96-8, Condition L, be
dedicated to the County. See id, at 26.
b. Compliance and Non-compliance
Taken in their entirety, the Ordinances' roadway and public access requirements
expressly require the Mauka Haleki`i Extension, Makai Haleki`i Extension and Connector Road
11
EXHIBIT A 904
be dedicated to the County. Council accepted the dedication of the Mauka Haleki`i Extension on
November 9, 2012. See Resolution 317-12.
Council's acceptance of the Mauka Haleki`i Extension under Resolution 317-12
was a legislative act which received input from DPW. The Director neither had nor has authority
over Resolution 317-12. To the extent the Mauka Haleki`i Extension was effectively dedicated,
such dedication adequately satisfied those portions of Ordinance 96-7, Condition M(4), and
Ordinance 96-8, Condition L(4), applicable to the Mauka Haleki'i Extension.
As noted above, the Ordinances' roadway improvement conditions were initially
satisfied by the Original Developer's agreements and bonds pursuant to HCC §§ 23-81, 23-82,
and 23-83, which allowed the issuance of final subdivision approval based on the construction
assurances provided in the agreements and secured by the bonds. The agreements have not been
satisfied and the bonds are no longer valid or enforceable. Thus, Oceanside has not fully
satisfied the Ordinances'roadway improvement and dedication requirements because the Makai
Haleki`i Extension and Connector Road have not been dedicated to the County. In order to
comply with the Ordinances, Oceanside must construct the Makai Haleki`i Extension and
Connector Road to a condition approved by DPW and dedicate the Makai Haleki`i Extension and
Connector Road to the County.
IV. REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Rule 3-2 requires that:
[A]ny petitioner or party in interest who desires a hearing on a petition for a
declaratory ruling shall submit a written request for a hearing, setting forth in the
request the reasons why the matters alleged in the petition and the supporting
material submitted will not permit the fair and expeditious disposition of the
petition and,to the extent that such request for a hearing is dependent upon
factual assertion, shall attach to the request an affidavit establishing such facts.
12
EXHIBIT A 905
The original Petition did not satisfy Planning Rule 3-2's requirements because it
contained only a one-sentence request for a hearing without any of the required supporting
material or reasoning. Petitioner supplemented its request by letters dated February 13, 2024,
and April 25, 2004. Petitioner states a public hearing is "necessary to protect the rights of
interested persons and to ensure a consistent disposition of all the issues presented across the
three filings." Pet.'s April 24, 2024-letter.
Petitioner did not give any clear indication of how the"rights of interested
persons"will be protected by a public hearing aside from their statement that "a public airing of
the issues will provide Planning Director with a fulsome appreciation of the facts on the ground."
Id. Petitioner has had ample opportunity to provide the Director with any material or
information which Petitioner feels is missing from the extensive existing written record,
including Petitioner's own Petition and exhibits.
Thus, the Director finds Petitioner has failed to establish why a public hearing,
including presentations by the competing teams of attorneys of the information, history, and
arguments found in the Petition and Oceanside's Petition, is necessary to permit the fair and
expeditious disposition of the Petition, Given the extensive written records on this matter, the
well documented Petition and the Oceanside Petition concurrently under the Director's review,
Petitioner's request for a public hearing pursuant Planning Rule 3-2 is denied.
Pursuant to Planning Rule 3-6, this Order shall not be applicable to different factual
situations or where additional facts not considered in this Order exist.

1. BACKGROUND
Hokuli`a is a master-planned community located in Kealakekua, Hawaii ("Project")
originally developed by 1250 Oceanside Partners (the "Original Developer"). On January 15,
1996,the Original Developer obtained two ordinances to rezone the property comprising the
Project: County of Hawai`i ("County") Ordinance No. 96-7 and 96-8 (collectively
"Ordinances"), among other approvals. Together, the Ordinances rezoned the Project property to

On April 29, 2010, Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida wrote to the Original

the bonds provided to the County. See Mr. Ashida's letter to John De Fries, dated April 29,

In 2012, 1250 Oceanside, LLC ("Petitioner") acquired the Original Developer's
outstanding loans and took over the Project. Over the years, the Mamalahoa Bypass Road
("Bypass"),the Haleki`i Street extension and portions of the subdivision improvements were
constructed. The property underlying the Bypass was conveyed to the County and the extension
of Haleki`i Street to the mauka side of the Bypass ("Mauka Haleki`i Extension") was accepted
by the Hawaii County Council ("Council") through dedication. County Resolution No. 317-12,
adopted November 9, 2012 ("Resolution 317-12").
After multiple inquiries with the County about the status of the dedication of the
internal Project roadways, i.e., a continuation of Haleki`i Street makai of the Bypass ("Makai
Haleki`i Extension") and a north-south connector stub road from the Makai Haleki`i Extension to
the boundaries of the Project's adjoining properties ("Connector Road"), and other matters, on
March 31, 2023, C & J Coupe Family Limited Partnership ("Coupe"), an adjacent landowner,
filed an action in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit, State of Hawai`i alleging that Petitioner
has failed to comply with, and the County has failed to enforce, the Ordinances, among other
claims. See C& J Couple Family limited P'Ship v. County of Hawai`i el al., Civil No. 3CCV-
23-0000123 ("Lawsuit"). On September 1.5, 2023, the Circuit Court ruled Coupe "shall avail
itself of the declaratory ruling procedure provided under Hawaii Revised Statutes("Haw. Rev.
Stat.")ch. 91 and Planning's Rules of Practice and Procedure to seek a declaratory ruling from
the Planning Director regarding the issues raised in the Complaint, including Petitioner's

II. APPLICABLE RULES; DIRECTOR AUTHORITY
Pursuant to Haw. Rev. Stat. § 91-8 (2012):
[a]ny interested person may petition an agency for a declaratory order as to the
applicability of any statutory provision or of any rule or order of the agency.
Each agency shall adopt rules prescribing the form of the petitions and the
procedure for their submission, consideration, and prompt disposition. Orders
disposing of petitions in such cases shall have the same status as other agency
orders.
Planning's Rules of Practice and Procedure(``Planning Rules")govern the declaratory ruling
process. Rule 3.1(a) thereof gives Planning's Director("Director") the discretion to "issue a
declaratory order as to the applicability of any statutory provision, ordinance, or any rule or order
of the Director or the Department." Planning Rule 3-1(b) requires that the filing of a petition for
a declaratory ruling must contain:
(1) A non-refundable filing and processing fee of one hundred dollars;
(2) Name, address, telephone number, if available, and signature of each petitioner;
4
EXHIBIT B 386
(3) A designation of the specific provision, rule, or order in question, together with a
statement of the controversy or uncertainty involved; and
(4) A statement of the petitioner's position or contention; and
(5) A memorandum of authorities, containing a full discussion of reasons and legal
authorities in support of such position or contention.
The declaratory ruling procedure is one "whereby an interested party could seek agency
advice as to how a statute, agency rule, or order would apply to particular circumstances not yet
determined." Citizens Against Reckless Development v. Zoning Board ofAppeals of the City and
County of Honolulu ("(.ARI)"), 114 Hawai i 184, 197, 159 P.3d 143, 156 (2007). "Use of the
declaratory ruling procedural device only makes sense where the applicability of relevant law is
unknown, either because the agency has not yet acted upon particular factual circumstances, or
for some other reason the applicability of some provisions of law have not been brought into
consideration." Id. "[T]he declaratory ruling procedure was not intended to be utilized to seek
review of agency determinations that have already been made and which have not been timely
appealed." Id, 114 Hawai`i at 196, 159 P.3d at 155.

EXHIBIT B 389
I, Questions Outside the Scope of the Director's Authority: Non-Compliance
With Planning Rule 3-1(b),
Questions posed which do not comply with the requirements of Planning Rule 3-1(b)
will not be addressed in this Order. The following questions do not designate a specific
provision, rule or order of the Director or the Department as Planning Rule 3-1(b)(3) requires:
Dedication Requirements, Question 3, does not designate any specific provision, rule
or order of the Director or the Department. It seeks an interpretation of the Development
Agreement but the Development Agreement is not a Department order.
Construction Standards, Questions 3, 4 and 6, seek an interpretation of the
Development Agreement which is not a Department order.
2. Questions Outside the Scope of the Director's Authority: Requesting
Review of Prior Reviewable Actions
The following questions are focused on concrete agency decisions or past actions,
whether by the Department or another agency of the County, for which other means of review
are or were available. These requests are inconsistent with the purpose of Haw. Rev. Stat. ch. 91
and Planning Rule 3, see CARD, 114 Hawaii at 197, 159 P 3d at 156, and, therefore, they will
not be addressed in this Order:
Variances Under Chapter 23, Questions 1 and 2, and Variance Applications, Questions
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, seek a determination of how the Department's Subdivision Code, i.e., HCC ch.
23, applied to the relevant factual situation on January 31, 2011. These questions improperly
seek review or affirmance of a past Department action, i.e., the issuance of Planning Variance
10-027, dated January 31, 2011 ("Variance 10-027"), which is no longer appealable. See CARD,
R
EXHIBIT B 390
114 Hawai`i at 196, 159 P.3d at 155 (explaining declaratory ruling procedure not for review of
past agency decisions which are no longer appealable).
Variance Applications, Questions 6 and 7, seek a determination of whether any
provision, rule or order of the Director or the Department relating to the amendment of County
re-zoning ordinances or development agreements precluded issuance of Variance 10-027. The
questions improperly seek review or affirmance of Variance 10-027's issuance, which is no
longer appealable. See C:AR/), 114 Hawai`i at 196, 159 P.3d at 155.
Dedication of the Halekii Extension, Question 1, seeks a determination of whether
any provision, rule or order of the Director or the Department set forth notice requirements for
the Resolution. The question improperly seeks review or affirmance of a Hawai`i County
Council ("Council") action over which the Director has no authority.
Dedication of the Haleki`i Extension, Questions 2 and 3 improperly seek review or
affirmance of a Council action over which the Director has no authority.
To avoid an unauthorized exercise of discretion,the Director will not address the
Petition's above-referenced questions.
3. Questions Within the Scope of the Director's Authority
Determining the following questions are within the Director's authority and are
addressed below:
Dedication Requirements, Questions 1 and 2 cite a specific ordinance and request
application to the facts of the case.
Construction Standards, Questions 1, 2 and 5 cite a specific ordinance and request
application to the facts of the case.
9
EXHIBIT B 391
Variances Under Chapter 23, Questions 3, 4 and 5 cite a specific ordinance and
request application to a specific set of facts.
a. The Ordinances' Relevant Requirements
Ordinance 96-7, Conditions M(4)and M(5),require that "[p]rior to the issuance of
Final Subdivision Approval for any portion of subject property", the applicant shall "construct"
the Mauka Haleki`i Extension and Makai Haleki`i Extension and"provide" the Connector Road,
and the phasing of the same shall be approved by the County's Department of Public Works
("DPW"), See Ordinance 96-7, at 15-16,attached hereto as Exhibit"B".
Ordinance 96-7, Condition K, requires that, "prior to final subdivision approval, or
any land alteration activity," a"final comprehensive public access plan shall be developed" and
include, inter alia, public"mauka-makai and lateral shoreline accesses". Ordinance 96-7, at 12-
13 (Exhibit"B").
Ordinance 96-7, Condition L, requires the "right to public access and recreational
use of[the Project's] privately owned coastline park and trails" be conveyed to the County "by
way of a perpetual easement". Id., at 14, Condition L specifically requires the applicant to
retain fee simple ownership of the shoreline park and, to the extent any roadway, trail or other
rights-of-way become deemed a public highway or trail under Haw. Rev. Stat. ch, 264,
Condition L shall no longer be applicable. See id.
Ordinance 96-8, Conditions L(4) and L(5), also require the construction of certain
roadway improvements prior to the issuance of final subdivision approval for any portion of the
Project, including construction of the Mauka Haleki`i Extension, Makai Haleki`i Extension and
the Connector Road. See Ordinance 96-8, at 24, attached hereto as Exhibit"C". Ordinance 96-
10
EXHIBIT B 392
8, Condition M, requires all roadway improvements stated in Ordinance 96-8, Condition L, be
dedicated to the County. See id., at 26.
b. Compliance and Non-compliance
Taken in their entirety, the Ordinances' roadway and public access requirements
expressly require the Mauka Haleki`i Extension, Makai Haleki`i Extension and Connector Road
be dedicated to the County. Council accepted the dedication of the Mauka Haleki`i Extension on
November 9, 2012. See Resolution 317-12.
Council's acceptance of the Mauka Haleki`i Extension under Resolution 317-12
was a legislative act which received input from DPW. The Director neither had nor has authority
over Resolution 317-12. To the extent the Mauka Haleki`i Extension was effectively dedicated,
such dedication adequately satisfied those portions of Ordinance 96-7, Condition M(4), and
Ordinance 96-8, Condition L(4), applicable to the Mauka Haleki`i Extension.
As noted above, the Ordinances' roadway improvement conditions were initially
satisfied by the Original Developer's agreements and bonds pursuant to HCC §§ 23-81, 23-82,
and 23-83, which allowed the issuance of final subdivision approval based on the construction
assurances provided in the agreements and secured by the bonds. The agreements have not been
satisfied and the bonds are no longer valid or enforceable. Thus, Oceanside has not fully
satisfied the Ordinances'roadway improvement and dedication requirements because the Makai
Haleki i Extension and Connector Road have not been dedicated to the County. In order to
comply with the Ordinances, Oceanside must construct the Makai Haleki'i Extension and
Connector Road to a condition approved by DPW and dedicate the Makai Haleki`i Extension and
Connector Road to the County.
c. Applicability of a Variance
11
EXHIBIT B 393
Neither Ordinance addresses any variance process. In accordance with HCC § 23-
14, the Director may approve a variance from the Subdivision Code's requirements. Because
such a variance only excuses performance under Chapter 23, Variance 10-027 cannot and does
not effect an amendment of an existing ordinance. See Leone v. Cly. of Maui, 128 Hawai`i 183,
193-96, 284 P.3d 956, 966-969 (Haw. Ct. App. 2012) (explaining a variance cannot amend a
community plan); see also Earley v. Bd. of Adjustment of Cerro Gordo Ctv., 955 N.W.2d 812,
817 (Iowa 2021) ("The board cannot amend or set aside the zoning ordinance under the guise of
a variance,");Ivancovich v. City cif Tucson Bd. ofAdjustment,22 Ariz, App, 530, 535 (Ariz. Ct.
App. 1974)("The Board cannot amend or repeal any zoning ordinance [through a variance] for
this power belongs to the City Council."). Furthermore, a Chapter 23-variance cannot and does
not: (a) extinguish the authority of the DPW to set standards for or make determinations
regarding street constniction standards; or (b) usurp Council's authority to accept or reject the
dedication of public infrastructure subject to the DPW Director's approval. While the Director
has the authority to issue variances from Chapter 23's requirements, those variances provide
relief only from Chapter 23's requirements: they do not relieve Petitioner from the Ordinance's
conditions. The DPW's Director has the authority to set standards for and make determinations
regarding street construction, See HCC § 2-40, and the Council has authority over dedication of
public infrastructure, including streets. See HCC § 2-162.1(b).
To the extent that the Ordinances require the dedication of the Makai Haleki'i
Extension and the Connector Road to the County, subject to the DPW Director's approval, and
said roadways remain privately held, such obligations remain unsatisfied and the Petitioner has
not met its obligations under the Ordinances.

1250 Oceanside Partners
78-6831 Ali'i Dr., Ste. 429
Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
Dear Mr. De Fries:
RE: Material breach by 1250 Oceanside of the Development
Agreement between the County of Hawai`i and 1250 Oceanside
This office represents the County of Hawaii and has been authorized by
the Office of the Mayor to provide you this communication.
Pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 25 of the Development Agreement between
the County of Hawaii and 1250 Oceanside Partners (hereinafter"Oceanside"),
notice is hereby given of Oceanside's material breach of the aforementioned
development agreement.
f. Background
1. Oceanside, as developer of the subdivision called Hokuli'a, successfully
sought passage of Hawaii County Council Ordinances 96-7 and 96-8
(January 15, 1996). These ordinances in pertinent part rezoned 1550
acres of the project to allow for the development of the planned
subdivision, subject to certain conditions.
2. A condition of rezoning Ordinance 96-7 provided for Oceanside
agreeing to construct a bypass highway in the vicinity of Keauhou and
Captain Cook that would connect the subdivision to the Mamalaoha
Highway, construct the channelization and signalization of the
Marnalahoa Highway-Halekii Street Intersection, construct the
extension of Haieki'i Street, construct a park, grant a perpetual
easement for public access, gain water rights, construct wastewater
disposal systems, place most electrical and communication utilities

underground, provide a fair share contribution for park, and recreation
improvements, police facilities, fire facilities, solid waste facilities, and to
support road and traffic improvements.
3. As a condition of the rezoning under Ordinance 96-8, requirements
similar to that in Ordinance 96-7 were imposed.
4. According to Ordinance 96-7, in lieu of actual construction of
infrastructural improvements (the wastewater disposal system, the
park, and the roadway improvements [i.e. Haleki'i Street and the
Bypass]) Oceanside could enter into an agreement with the Planning
Director, the Department of Public Works and the Department of
•
Water Supply, if applicable "to assure the county that the
infrastructural improvements will be constructed together with the
appropriate bond, surety or other security deemed acceptable ...
Upon execution of such agreement and filing of the security with the
county, if applicable, Final Subdivision Approval for the subject
property or portions thereof shall be granted prior to the actual
construction of required infrastructural improvements."
5. Ordinance 96-8 had a similar provision as that provided in Ordinance
96-7.
6. Based on these promises made by Oceanside, on April 1, 1998
through Resolution 244-98, the Hawai'i County Council authorized
the County of Hawaii to enter into the subject Development
Agreement with Oceanside pursuant to Section 46-123, Hawaii
Revised Statutes, as amended, and Ordinance Na. 93-37 (Hawai'i
County Code Chapter 30).
7. On April 20, 1998, the County of Hawai'i through former Mayor
Stephen K. Yamashiro entered into the subject Development
Agreement with "1250 Oceanside Partners, a Hawaii limited
partnership, dba OCEANSIDE 1250 OCEANSIDE."
8. The Development Agreement was meant to clarify the"Land Use
Regulations and Approvals" as•of the date of the Development
Agreement.
9. The Development Agreement contained provisions relating to
Oceanside's obligation to acquire, dedicate and construct the Bypass
Highway.
10.The Development Agreement also contained provisions relating to
Oceanside's obligation to make subdivision improvements.
. 11.Paragraph 20 of the Development Agreement states: "Oceanside
shall have the right to develop the Project; the Bypass Highway and
the Coastline Park in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the Approvals, and the parties shall have the
right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto
acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to implement the intent
of the parties and that Oceanside shall have the right to develop the
Project, the Bypass Highway and the Coastline Park pursuant to the
EXHIBIT E 398
• Mr. John De Fries

Page 3
Land Use Regulations and Approvals, subject to its adherence to
and performance of all terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the
event that a question arises regarding Oceanside's and the County's
responsibilities or their intent, the parties shall look toward this
Agreement to clarify such issues."
12.The Development Agreement provided in paragraph 13(b) that prior
to the issuance of the first final small-lot Subdivision approval for any
portion of the property, Oceanside shall post a bond in favor of the
County to assure that the infrastructure improvements for the Bypass
Highway and for the channelization and signalizalion of the
Mamalahoa Highway-Haleki'i Street intersection will be constructed
and provide a bond for relevant extension of Haleki'i Street, amongst
other things.
13.The Development Agreement also provided in paragraph 13(d) that
"[lin any event from the time construction commences, the entire
Bypass Highway shall be completed within five (5) years provided
that those certain circumstances as articulated in Paragraph (39) do
not exist."
14.Paragraph 39 states: "Force Majeure. In the event that either party
shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of
any duties, obligations or conditions provided for and required under
• this Agreement by reason of strikes or other disturbances, lockouts,
labor troubles, riots, insurrection, war or civil disturbance, fire or
earthquake, tidal wave, acts of God, the elements, government
legislation, regulation or controls, or economic controls, making it
impossible to complete any duties, obligations, or conditions
provided for and required under this Agreement, then performance of
such duty, obligation, or condition shall be excused for the period of
the delay and the period for the performance of any such duty,
obligation, or condition shall be extended for a period equivalent to
the period of such delay. Under no circumstances shall this provision
operate or be construed to excuse either party from the payment of
any sum required to be paid to the other party."
15.The Development Agreement also provided that on or before
January l 4til of each and every year following the execution of the
Development Agreement, Oceanside shall submit an annual report of
its compliance with the terms and conditions of the Development
Agreement.
16.On September 16, 1999, Oceanside and the County entered into an
Agreement for Regional Traffic Improvements. Said agreement
specified that Oceanside was required to construct a bypass highway
and other regional traffic improvements pursuant to the conditions of
Ordinance 96-7, 96-8 and 97-3, by January 2005.
17.The Agreement for Regional Traffic Improvements was secured by
• bonds as follows:

• Page 4
Mamalahoa Highway Bypass Phase I (Keauhou to Haleki'i
Street) - $15,500,000
Mamalahoa Highway Bypass Phase li (Haleki'i Street to
Napoopoo - $9,260,000
Marna{ahoy Highway/Haleki'i Street Intersection Improvements -
$290,000
18.On September 16, 1999, Oceanside and the County entered into an
Agreement (Subdivision improvements) stating that Oceanside was
to complete the construction of utilities improvements (such as
roads, drainage structures, sewer system, and potable water
systems) in accordance with construction plans and specifications
approved by the Planning Department of the County of Hawaii on
September 15, 1999, File No. SUB 98-124 by December 31, 2001.
Said agreement was secured with a bond in the amount of
$34,170,000.
19.On September 16, 1999, Oceanside and the County entered into a
Road Maintenance Agreement, whereby Oceanside was to construct
an extension to Haleki'i Street and a new road and maintain the
landscaping and other facilities for a period of five (5) years after
dedication. Said Agreement was secured by a bond in the amount of
$1,635,000.
• 20.Based on the agreements and bonds as provided above, on
September 18, 1999, Oceanside received Final Subdivision Approval
No. 7168 for"Hoiculi'a, Phase I".
21.On November 27, 2000, Oceanside and the County entered into an
Agreement (Subdivision Improvements) where Oceanside agreed to
complete construction of utilities and improvements (such as roads,
drainage structure, sewer systems, and potable water systems)for
Hokulia Phase II by November 27, 2001. Said Agreement was
secured by a bond in the amount of$7,190,000.
22.Based on the agreement and bonds as provided in paragraph 21
above, Oceanside received Final Subdivision Approval for Hokulia —
Phase II on December 1, 2000.
23.All bonds mentioned herein were issued by "American Motorists
insurance Company", one of the Kemper Insurance Companies.
24.The construction of the bypass has always been and continues to be
a priority for the County of Hawai'i. When questions arose
concerning Oceanside's financial solvency and their ability to fulfill
their obligations under the various agreements (including the
Development Agreement), as well as the payment of the various
bond premiums, representatives of Oceanside and their tender met
with the County administration in April 2009, and assured the County
of Oceanside's commitment in fulfilling its obligations. Oceanside
promised to produce a financial plan to the Mayor of the County of
141111 Hawai'i, detailing their proposed course for fulfilling these obligations.

25.To date, despite further verbal representations and assurances from
Oceanside representatives, no financial plan has been submitted to
the County of Hawai'i.
26.In February 2010, at a meeting between Oceanside, its lender, and
County administration officials, the County again expressed its.
concern for the need for Oceanside to fulfill its obligation to complete
the bypass, given the acute needs of the community. A proposal
was made for the collateralization of real property belonging to
Oceanside in favor of the County for the purpose of allowing the
County to complete construction of the bypass. After completion of
the bypass, Oceanside would be allowed to repay the County; upon
fulfilling this financial obligation to the County, the County would
release any secured interest in the real property. Oceanside
representatives admitted they did not have the financial resources to
complete construction of the bypass.
27.Oceanside representatives and their lender agreed to explore this
collateralization arrangement and went so far as to begin scheduling
a site visit and obtaining an updated appraisal of the subject real
estate.
28.Within a few weeks after the discussion with Oceanside concerning
the collateralization of their land in favor of the County for the
purpose of allowing the County to construct the improvements
promised by Oceanside, the County learned Oceanside had
arranged a "private auction" of some of its lands.
29.Despite repeated attempts by the County to obtain further
information about this "private auction," Oceanside representatives
have been deliberately vague and have not provided the County with
any material information concerning what this auction is all about,
who will be invited to participate in the auction, and what lands are
being auctioned.
30.The construction of the bypass began in February 2002. Despite
Oceanside's claims they were not obligated to complete the bypass
within the five year time as required by the Development Agreement
due to periods being "tolled" by litigation, a judicial order putting the
County in possession of the land pending appeal was filed by the
Third Circuit Court on July 28, 2009. Oceanside has failed to resume
construction and the fulfillment of their obligation for the completion
of the bypass.

H. Material breach by Oceanside
The County of Hawai`i alleges as follows:
1. Oceanside has failed to perform its duties under the Development
Agreement in good faith.
Despite numerous promises by Oceanside of their commitment to fulfill
its obligation to our community, the fact remains Oceanside has not fulfilled
the majority of and the most substantial requirement of the Development
Agreement. When provided the opportunity by the County to collateralize their
real property so the County could complete construction of the bypass for our
citizens, Oceanside representatives expressed a willingness to enter into such
an agreement and went as far as scheduling a site visit and an updated
appraisal. Unbeknownst to the County, Oceanside contemporaneously
planned a "private auction" of unidentified lands to unidentified buyers. When
pressed for information concerning this "private auction" and whether the lands
that were to be sold were the very same ones the County sought to
coliateratize, Oceanside was deliberately vague and ambiguous. As of this
writing, despite numerous requests for information, Oceanside has hot been
forthcoming with any material information. Oceanside's actions constitute a
material breach of Paragraph 40 of the Development Agreement in their failure
to perform its duties in good faith.
2. Oceanside has failed to complete construction of the bypass as
required by the Development Agreement.
On July 28, 2009, the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit entered an Order
placing the County in possession of earlier disputed lands for the purpose of
resuming construction of the bypass. There is no legal impediment preventing
Oceanside from fulfilling its obligation to compete construction of the bypass.
Oceanside's failure to resume construction of the bypass constitutes a
material breach of Paragraph 13(d) of the Development Agreement.
3. Oceanside has failed to complete the subdivision improvements
for Phase I as required by the Development Agreement.
On September 16, 1999, Oceanside and the County entered into an
agreement stating that Oceanside was to complete the construction of utilities
improvements (such as roads, drainage structures, sewer system, and potable
water systems) in accordance with construction plans and specifications
approved by the Planning Department of the County of Hawai'i on September,
15, 1999, Fite No. SUB 98-124 by December 31, 2001. This agreement was
secured with a bond in the amount of$34,170,000.
EXHIBIT E 402
Mr. John De Fries
April 29, 2010
Page 7
The subdivision improvements are not yet complete, despite the
December 31, 2001 deadline for completion. Further, the County is of the
information and belief there is no current schedule or plan for the completion
of the Phase l subdivision improvements.
In meetings with County of Hawaii officials, Oceanside representatives
have admitted Oceanside does not have the financial capacity to complete
construction of the bypass as earlier promised. The veracity of this
representation is buttressed by the representation made in the Complaint filed
in The Club at HokuIi'a, et. al. v. American Motorists Insurance Company, et.
al., Civil No. 10-1-116K (Third Circuit Court, State of Hawai`i), wherein
Oceanside allegedly admitted in writing on March 3, 2010, that it was unable
to complete work as promised with respect to various dub and subdivision
improvements.
Pursuant.to Paragraph 24 of the Development Agreement, an annual
report must be submitted by Oceanside detailing its "compliance with the
terms and conditions of(the Development)Agreement to the Planning
Department." Upon information and belief, no report has been received for
2010.
• The County of Hawaii requests acknowledgment from Oceanside that it
is in material breach of the Development Agreement. Please communicate
your response to this office as soon as practicable.
Very truly yours,
