• An extension of the Mamalahoa By-Pass/Alii Drive ("Bypass Extension"), <br /> increasing connectivity between Kailua-Kona and Captain Cook; <br /> • An extension of Haleki`i Street to the mauka side of the Bypass Extension <br /> ("Mauka Haleki`i Extension"); <br /> • A continuation of Haleki`i Street makai of the Bypass Extension ("Makai <br /> Haleki`i Extension"); and <br /> • A"stub"road running north-south laterally from the Makai Haleki`i Extension to <br /> the boundaries with the adjoining properties ("Connector Road"). <br /> Oceanside contributed approximately$20 million dollars towards the completion of the Bypass <br /> Extension,' which was dedicated to the County in 2012 and subsequently opened to the public in <br /> 2016. Oceanside constructed the Makai Haleki`i Extension and Connector Road in 1999, and the <br /> Mauka Haleki`i Extension in 2012,pursuant to construction plans approved by the County, <br /> including the Department of Public Works ("DPW"). Oceanside dedicated the Mauka Haleki`i <br /> Extension to the County over a decade ago and it has remained open to the public ever since. By <br /> any measure, Oceanside has complied,robustly, with the conditions of approval imposed on <br /> Hokuli`a and provided significant benefits to the public. <br /> Coupe, on the other hand, has a long and litigious history with the County and Hokuli`a, <br /> having fought bitterly— and unsuccessfully—to block the construction of the Bypass Extension, <br /> but not before delaying completion of the critical thoroughfare for more than a decade and <br /> costing the County and its taxpayers significant tax dollars and resources. In recent years, <br /> Oceanside has worked in good faith to find an amicable resolution of Coupe's current concerns <br /> with Hokuli`a, but its efforts have fallen on deaf ears, with Coupe taking a litigation first <br /> approach. <br /> On March 31, 2023, Coupe filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit, <br /> 1 The $20 million contributed by Oceanside was spent on the portion of the Bypass Extension <br /> south of the entrance of Hokulia at Haleki`i Street. Oceanside's predecessor spent approximately <br /> $36 million on the Bypass Extension north of the entrance of Hokuli`a. <br /> 4860-3160-4157.3.051730- 00058 2 <br />
