Aguinaldo, came over to Hawaii (via boat) from the Philippines in approximately 1930 at the age of 21. He was born in 1908. He arrived on Oahu and staged there for a few months, then moved to Keaau (behind the Keaau Police Station) for a while, and eventually moved. to Pahoa Town (in approx. 1932). He was employed at Puna Sugar as a crane operator to load the cane hauling trucks. He married Gloria Juan in 1971 and moved here to Pahoa from the Philippines. Gilbert, their only child, was born in 1972. They lured in Pahoa Town in a building next to Kaleo's, which still exists. Shortly after Gilbert 7s birth Alberto retired. Gloria Aguinaldo was a farmer and grew papayas on leased land in Kapoho and still does today. They purchased the subj USE PERMIT APPLICATION TMK: (3) 1- 5- 003:037 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT REQUEST A. Details of Proposed Use /Development 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant, Aguinaldo 4, LLC, wishes to obtain a Use Permit to construct a .medical facility, providing geriatric services, an X -ray laboratory, pediatrics, general practice medicine, dentistry, optometry, physical' therapy and rotating specialists. Geriatric physicians specialize in managing patients with complicated medical diagnoses to help them maintain health and quality of life as they age. The emphasis of the clinic is that it will allow older citizens to live in their homes independently, as long as possible. Having a care center in Pahoa will enable seniors to have regular care without the necessity of driving to Hilo; in many cases, having to be taken to Hilo. There will be a unique affiliation allowing physician specialists to offer comprehensive care for older patients in an environment that thrives on collaboration between physicians and social workers of many different specialties and from different areas in Hawaii. X -ray imaging, also called radiography, is a fast and easy way to identify and diagnose bone injuries and disorders such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, fractures and infections. It can also aid in the detection and diagnosis of abnormalities in the chest organs, including the heart and lungs. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. A general practitioner treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education to patients. As a difference to medical or surgical specialized doctors, they intend to practice a holistic approach that takes into consideration the biological, psychological and social environment in which patients live. Dentists diagnose and treat problems with a patient's teeth, gums, and other parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health. Employment of dentists is expected to grow by 21% from 2010 to 2020. Dentists will continue to see an increase in public demand for their services as studies continue to link oral health to overall health. Optometrists perform eye exams to check for vision problems and diseases. They prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses as needed. The need for optometrists is expected to grow by 339 from 2010 to 2020, due mostly to aging baby boomers. Physical therapists help people who have injuries or illnesses to improve their movement and manage their pain. They are often an important part of rehabilitation and treatment of patients with chronic conditions or injuries. Employment of physical therapists is expected to increase 39% from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for physical therapy services will come, in large part, from the aging baby boomers, who are staying active later in life than the previous generations did. To assist physicians In outlying areas, rotating specialists lease clinic space on a weekly or monthly rotation. Patients can be seen for specialty care evaluations, check -ups and follow -up exams closer to their homes. 2. OBJECTIVES The proposed use would provide residents of Puna with an alternative to traveling to Hilo for these medical services. As of 2010, the population of the district of Puna over 60 years of age was 18.5%. With Puna the fastest growing district, there will be a critical need for aging and other services in the future. 3. SIZE The subject parcel is 1.545 acres, 67,300 square feet. 4. PROPOSED UNIT The building will be 13,520 sf. There will be seven offices, 1820 sf each, with rotating specialist sharing space with Physical Therapy. The X- Ray office will have a waiting room, patient check -in area, a doctor's office, dressing rooms, two exam rooms, the X -ray room and a unisex restroom. The other six offices will each have a waiting room, patient check -in area, a doctor's office, four exam rooms, a break room, unisex restroom and a storage room. 5. EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTELE The geriatric clinic will see 16 patients per day with one physician, attending nurse, a licensed practical nurse and a receptionist. The hours of operation would be from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday, the office will open at 12:00 noon and remain open until 5:00 p.m. for client convenience.

DESCRIPTION of SUBJECT PROPERTY The 1.545 acre parcel is located on the southeastern corner of the intersection of Pahoa Village Road, Pahoa Kapoho Road, Pahoa Kalapana Road and Pahoa Bypass Road. The triangular- shaped property is flat with mostly grass, ginger and some shrubby overgrowth. The perimeter is planted with palm trees and ti plants. There are no structures on the parcel. C. STATE /COUNTY PLANS AFFECTING THE REQUEST I. STATE LAND USE DESIGNATION The subject parcel is situated within the State Land Use Urban District. 2. CHAPTER 205A, COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT The proposed use would not be contrary to concerns of the Coastal Zone Management as it would not interfere with public access to the shoreline, scenic and open space resources since the parcel is approximately eight miles inland from the coast. 3. APPLICABLE GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: • Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of fife through economic development that enhances the county's natural and social environments. • Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors. • Strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. • Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical, social and cultural environments of the island of Hawaii. • Encourage the development of the retirement industry. • Encourage the health wellness industry. • Encourage the establishment or expansion of community health centers and rural health clinics. 4. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION (LUPAG MAP) The General Plan Land Use Allocation Guide Map (LOPAG) designates the subject parcel Medium Density Urban. This designation provides for village and neighborhood commercial and single - family and multiple family residential and related functions. 5. ZONING The parcel is zoned RS --10. The Hawaii County Code, Chapter 25 --5 -3, provides as a permitted use in the RS district "hospitals, sanitariums, old age, convalescent, nursing and rest homes ", provided a use permit is obtained. 6. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN In Chapter 3, Managing Growth, of the Puna Community Development Plan, it states "Within Puna, the vision is to reshape the development pattern by moving away from the sprawl effects of the existing subdivisions and toward the formation of village and town centers. Over the long term, this will improve the feasibility of developing supporting infrastructure for populated areas, give residents better access to public and commercial services, stimulate local employment opportunities, and reduce dependence on the automobile for transportation. It will also help preserve natural and cultural resources by limiting the spread of the development ". The Puna Community Development Plan includes the subject parcel in its map of Pahoa as a Community Village Center. The CDP also lists "medical clinic" as a use in its General Use Table for a Community Village Center. (See CDP Map) The Steering Committee for the Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan also includes the subject parcel in its Planning Area Map. (See Committee letter and map) 7. SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA The subject parcel is outside the County's adopted Special Management Area. No permits would be necessary under Special Management Area regulations. D. SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES 1. LAND USE The surrounding land uses are either vacant, single- family residences, in agricultural use, or part of the Pahoa School Complex. 2. ZONING The surrounding toning is RS -10, CN -20, A -1a, A -5a and CV -10 (See attached Zoning Map). E. FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) DESIGNATION "X", Areas determined to be outside the Soo -year flood plain. F. ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES A letter was submitted on September 5, 2012 to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources State Historical Preservation Division requesting evidence of archaeological, cultural and historic resources on the subject parcel. No reply was received. G. FLORAL AND FAUNAL RESOURCES The subject parcel is mostly grassy with a ginger patch and the perimeter planted with ti and palms. Birds observed are mynah, dove, cardinal, Japanese white -eye and finch. Animals not observed, but common in the area, are mongoose, feral cats, rats and coqui frogs. H. ACCESS DESCRIPTION Access to the subject parcel will be from Pahoa Kapoho Road, a 20 foot wide paved county roadway within a 50 foot wide right -of -way, i. TRAFFIC IMPACTS 1. The subject parcel is located at the southeastern side of the intersection of the Pahoa Kalapana Road, the Pahoa Kapoho Road and the Pahoa village Road. The Pahoa Bypass Road begins on the other side of this intersection. The existing traffic consists of a combination of commuter traffic (local residents traveling in both directions to work, school, shopping, etc.) and tourist and visitor traffic. This intersection funnels the traffic from these three roads to the Pahoa Bypass Road. The ingress and egress for the proposed use will be from the Pahoa Kapoho Road. A Traffic Assessment Report was prepared for this project by Witcher Engineering LLP. This report's finding is as follows: IV. FINDING This analysis indicates that the project will have a minimum affect on the flow of traffic on Highway 132. Eastbound traffic is not affected. Westbound traffic is somewhat affected, yet the level of service is "A ". The traffic flow out of the project is northbound left and northbound right. The wait to turn onto the highway is minimal for these movements. It should be noted that the hours of operation of the clinic fall after the AM peak hour of 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and that the clinic operates well after the end of the PM peak hour. Also, it should again be noted that there is a signalized intersection to the west of the proposed driveway. This will serve to provide gaps in the eastbound traffic. This project should have little to no impact of traffic flow on Highway 132. Parking will be provided on site. Proposed are a total of 46 parking spaces: 29 of standard size, 15 compact size and 2 ADA accessible. J. AVAILABILITY OF UTILITIES County water is available from an existing 8 -inch waterline within Pahoa- Kapoho Road fronting the subject parcel or an existing 12 -inch waterline within Pahoa - Kalapana Road. There is an existing 1 -inch service lateral to the parcel capable of accommodating a 5/8 -inch meter, which is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. The existing 12 -inch waterline within Pahoa- Kalapana Road is adequate to provide 2,000 GPM of flow for fire protection, as required per the Water System Standards for the proposed type of land use. The Department of Water Supply requires estimated daily water usage calculations. Based on these calculations, if the existing 1 -inch service lateral cannot accommodate the estimated demand, a larger or additional meter will need to be installed. The closest fire hydrant is 600 feet on Pahoa- Kapoho Road. An approved sewage disposal system will be designed by an engineer, conforming to State of Hawaii, Department of Health requirements. Electricity and telephone are available to the subject parcel. 2. HOW THE REQUEST MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS A. CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING CODE AND GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life through economic development that enhances the county's natural and social environments. • Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors. • Strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. • Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical, social and cultural environments of the island of Hawaii. 0 Encourage the development of the retirement industry. • Encourage the health wellness industry. Encourage the establishment or expansion of community health centers and rural health clinics. The proposed use is consistent is consistent with the Zoning Code: • Medium Density Urban provides for village and commercial and single - family and multiple residential and related functions. • In the RS District, a permitted use is "hospitals�,sanitariums, old age, ..r convalescent, nursing and rest homes ", provided1hat a use permit is obtained. B. IMPACT To THE COMMUNITY The granting of the proposed use shall not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor cause substantial adverse impact to the community's character or to surrounding properties. The medical facility would provide Puna residents with more services and choices than are now available and alleviate the necessity of driving to Hilo. The subject parcel is unique as to its zoning (RS) and location. It is the only parcel on the east side of Pahoa- Kalapana Road not zoned Agriculture. There are also several large tracts of vacant land. There are five single - family dwellings adjacent to the proposed project. The closest is Zoo feet and the furthest is 872 feet. (See Exhibit 1 and Zoning Map). These dwellings are already on either Pahoa- Kalapana Road or Pahoa- Kapoho Road, and already experience traffic noise, so there would be no substantial adverse impact to them by operating the clinic. C. IMPACT ON PUBLIC FACILITIES The granting of the proposed use shall not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements, police and fire protection and other related infrastructure. The streets and water already exist on the proposed site. The applicant will install the sewer and drainage. The proposed use would have no effect on school improvements. The police and fire protection would not be unreasonably burdened by the operation of the medical facility. MCI 14 P� ........... . re pC A lips* tea: Q OGG" ir 4P Va. ACP If.

MORIOKA ARAN H. SE.KIGUCHI IN REPLY REFER TO: HWY-PA 2.2520 The State Depanment of Transportation, in consultation with the Federal Highway Administration, has recently initiated planning studies for the proposed Keaau-Pahoa Road Improvements. The planning - study will examine the widening of the existing highway (approximately 10.5 miles), which extends southerly from its junction with the Kcaau Bypass, continues along to ffie Pahoa Bypass and terminates at the junction of the Pahoa Bypass and Pahoa Kapoho Road (see attached map). The study will involve an alternative analysis, an extensive public involvement program and the preparation of an environmental document. This project is primarily intended to address the traffic congestion, which frequently occurs along this highway corridor between Keaau and Pahoa. It will also provide a safer and more efficient travel route between Hilo and the Puma District, which is one of the fastest growing conununiti es in the State of Hawaii. In the upcoming months, we will be holding several agency and public informational meetings, and we look forward to speaking with you and addressing any concerns that you may have. If you have any questions or comments regarding this project, you may write or email: Ronald Tsuzuka, Head Planning Engineer State Department of Transportation Highway Division 869 Punchbowl Street, #301 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 email: ronald.U'wuk1 whawa11. ov We deeply appreciate your interest and futuxe participation in this project.

The asassment was pared in response to comment number 3 of our letter (HWY,-PS 2.3503 dated November 27, 2012) to the County of Hawaii Planning Department regarding Change of Zone Application No. REZ 12-- 000159 from RS -1 o to CV-20. The subject parcel is located adjacent to and east of State Route 130, Pahoa-Kalapana Road, and adjacent to and south of Route 132, Pahoa-Kapoho Road. ,Access is proposed from Route 132, which is under County jurisdiction, approximately 170 feet from the Route 130/Route 132 signalized intersection. The clinic's planned hours of operation are 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. We have the following comments: 1 * we understand that the provision of medical and dental services in Lower Puna should reduce the number of regional trips on State Route 130, Kcaau-Pahoa Road, between Pahoa and Hilo. 2. The TA should be revised to assess the clinic's impacts on State Route 130, primarily on the adequacy of the existing storage lengths of the auxiliary lanes on Route 130 at its intersection with County Route 132, Pahoa-Kapoho Road. The revised TA should be submitted to the .Department of Transportation (DOT) for review and acceptance prior to the issuance of building permits for the clinic. Should any changes to the existing auxiliary lanes be needed to accommodate additional traffic generated by the proposed medical, clinic, the Applicant should be required to plan, design and construct the improvements. prior to County approval of a certificate of occupancy for the clinic. 3. The queue analysis for the eastbound through and right -turn movements at the project driveway should be included in the revised TA to determine if queuing occurs back to the Paboa-K.alapana Road/ eaau -Pahoa road intersection. I It Mr. Bruce E. Witcher August 14, 2013 Page 2 HWY -PS 2.5352 4. A street light should be considered at the driveway for moray - A;*%" purposes. 5. Should the clinic charge its hours of operadon or provide workshops or other aivit�es that generate significantly traffic or Route 130, a revised TA. that describes the impacts and recommends any needed mitigation should be submitted to the DOT. 6. No additional stormwater runoff from the development to the State highway right -of -way shall be permitw& 1 If you have any questions, please contact Ken Tatsuguchi, Head Planning engineer, Highways Planning Branch, at (808) 587 -18300 Very truly yours, GLENN M.

The Information provided here does not create liability for the County of Hawaii, or any officer or employee thereof, for any damage that results from reliance on this information. 2) Buyers are advised to consult an Architect and/or Engineer or other experts of the buyers' choice if there are additional questions. 3) See attached about the mandatory purchase of Flood Insurance requirements. 4) In 2008, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Hurricane Study for Hawai'i County. In terms of potential risk to life and property, the more protective Base Flood Elevations and Special Flood Hazard Areas from FEMA's hurricane study, were incorporated onto FEMA's July 2011, Preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (Preliminary DFIRMs). Until FEMA's Preliminary DFIRMs become effective, the County will continue using FEMA's current effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Insurance Study for Hawaii County. We advise all coastal property owners to review FEMA's Preliminary DFIRMs and design/construct as appropriate. The Preliminary DFIRMs tan be reviewed at the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources' website: htt :/1 is.hawalinfi .or /fhath BASE FLOOD ELEVATION (BFE) — Water surface elevation of a flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (also called the "100 -year flood "). FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) — Map used in administering the National Flood Insurance Program. The maps display shaded areas in the community that are subject to flooding. Flood Insurance rates are based on risk of the various Special Flood Hazard Areas zones (defined below) shown on the map. County of Hawai`i's regulations are tied to the different SFHA zones. FIRM or SFHA zone information is available from th2 f Ilowin r • order or viewed on the Internet by visiting www.fema.Qov and clicking on the FEMA Flood Map Store in the left column, or by going directly to www. store, ms ema. ovlweba !w tares, or by calling 1- 800 -358- 9616. * The State of Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources provides property specific flood zone designation information at its website httq :llgis.hawaiinfig.orgtFhatt. The County of Hawaii Department of Public Works provides (upon request and for a nominal fee) a copy of the Tax Map Key with the specific flood designations(s). SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS (SFHA) -- Areas of land or zones that would be inundated by a flood having a 1 percent of occurring in any given year (also referred to as the base flood or 1 00 -year flood). ZONE A — No base flood determined ZONE AE -- BFE determined Z NE AH — Flood depth of 1 to 3 feet (usually areas of ponding); base flood elevation determined ZONE A — Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain); average depths determined. For areas of alluvial fan flood, velocities also determined. ZONE VV — Coastal flood with velocity hazard (wave action); no BFEs determined. ZONE VE -- Coastal flood with velocity hazard (wave action); BFEs determined. BUFFER ZONE — Areas bordering and within 50 feet of a SFHA with BFE, depth numbers specified in feet on the FIRM or other areas that have been studied and indentified with BFE or depth numbers [HCC §27 -12 and §27- 1 8(d)(5)]. OTHER FLOOD AREAS -- Areas of land or zones not designated as SFHAs. ZQNE_X fShadedI -- Areas of 500-year flood; areas of 100 -year flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and, areas protected by levees from 1 00-year flood. o� X — Areas determined t be outside the Soo -year floodplain. ZONE D -- Areas in which flood hazards are not determined. Notes: 1 j FIRM maps do not necessarily Identify all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources of small size, or all planimetric features outside SFHAs. 2) SFHAs (loo -year flood) include Zones A, Al -A30, AE, Al-1, AO, V and VE. 3) Certain areas In SFHAs may be protected by flood control structures (e.g., levees). County of Hawaii is as Equal opportunity Provider and Employer About the Mandatory Purchase of Flood Insurance Requirement NF: This community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes federally backed flood insurance available for all eligible buildings, whether they are in a floodplain or not. Flood insurance covers direct losses caused by surface flooding, including a river flowing over its banks, a lake or ocean storm, and local drainage problems. The NFIP insures buildings, including mobile homes, with two types of coverage: building and contents. Building coverage is for the walls, floors, insulation, furnace, and other items permanently attached to the structure. Contents coverage may be purchased separately, if the contents are in an insurable building. Mandatory Purchase Requirement: The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 made the purchase of flood insurance mandatory for federally backed mortgages on buildings located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). It also affects all forms of Federal or Federally related financial assistance for buildings located in SFHAs. The SFHA is the base (100-year) floodplain mapped on a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). It is shown as one or more zones that begin with the letter "A" or "V." The rule applies to secured mortgage loans from such financial institutions as commercial lenders, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and credit unions that are regulated, supervised, or insured by Federal agencies such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also applies to all mortgage loans purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in the secondary mortgage market. Federal financial assistance programs affected by the laws include loans and grants from agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, Farmers Home Administration, Federal Housing Administration, Small Business Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). How it Works: Lenders are required to complete a Standard Flood Hazard Determination {SFHD} form whenever they make, increase, extend or renew a mortgage, home equity, home improvement, commercial, or farm credit loan to determine if the building or manufactured (mobile) home is in an SFHA. It is the Federal agency's or the lender's responsibility to check the current Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to determine if the building is in an SFHA. Copies of the FIRM are available for review in most local government building or planning departments. Lenders may also have copies or they use a flood zone determination company to provide the SFHD form. If the building is in a SFHA, the Federal agency or lender is required by law to require the recipient to purchase a flood insurance policy on the building. Federal regulations require building coverage equal to the amount of the loan (excluding appraised value of the land) or the maximum amount of insurance available from the NFIP, whichever is less. The maximum amount available for a single - family residence is $2501000. Government sponsored enterprises, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, have stricter requirements. The mandatory purchase requirement does not affect loans or financial assistance for items that are not covered by a flood insurance policy, such as vehicles, business expenses, landscaping, and vacant lots. It does not affect loans for buildings that are not in an SFHA, even though a portion of the lot may be. While not mandated by law, a lender may require a flood insurance policy, as a condition of a loan, for a property in any zone on a FIRM. If a person feels that a SFHD form incorrectly places the property in the SFHA, he or she may request a Letter of Determination Review from FEMA. This must be submitted within 45 days of the determination. More information can be found at http://www.fema-gov/plan/prevent/fhm/fcLgenhm.shtm.
