III. BACKGROUND FACTS A. Early Development of Hokuli`a by Oceanside's Predecessor-in-Interest. Oceanside's predecessor-in-interest, 1250 Oceanside Partners, L.P. ("1250 Partners"), first conceived Hokuli`a in the early 1990s, as a higher-density, master-planned residential community consisting of approximately 1,540 lots, a 27-hole golf course, and a 100-unit members' lodge. However, 1250 Partners subsequently faced legal challenges, and following several years of litigation, 1250 Partners revised its master plan to address concerns expressed by the community, ultimately proposing a lower-density, agriculturally-focused development. As part of its revised master plan, 1250 Partners committed to providing significant public improvements and community benefits. These included, inter alia, the development of an approximately 140-acre Shoreline Park, the expansion of the County's Kona Scenic Park, and the construction and dedication of an approximately five-mile segment of the Bypass Extension. 1250 Partners submitted necessary entitlement applications to the County to implement the revised master plan consisting of 730 agricultural lots, which culminated with the adoption of the Ordinances — Ordinance No. 96-7 covers Hokulia's western/makai lands, and Ordinance No. 96-8 covers Hokulia's eastern/mauka lands. Following adoption of the Ordinances, 1250 Partners secured other entitlements and entered into the Development Agreement. The development of Hokuli`a is divided into three general phases— Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, with Phase III further divided into three sub-phases — Phase III North, Phase III South, and Phase III East. Shortly after the Ordinances were adopted, 1250 Partners submitted construction plans to the County for subdivision infrastructure improvements for Phase I, including the Makai Haleki`i Extension and Connector Roadway. The Makai Haleki`i Extension and Connector Roadway were constructed in 1999,pursuant to construction plans approved by the County, including DPW.
