2.0 PROPOSED ACTION
2.1 Ownership •
Lot 6, further described as Tax Map Key:
3rd/7 -5- 04:63, is owned by the County of Hawaii.
2.2 Location
Lot 6, being 43,562 square feet, is located on
Henry Street and is a part of the Crossroads
development.
2.3 Uses
Project Site. Lot 6 is currently vacant. A portion
of the lot is used for parking by people working in
the area.
Surrounding Properties. To the north and east of
Lot 6 is a pasture. To the south and west are other
lots of the Crossroads development. These properties
have been developed into retail complexes and office
buildings. Area businesses include Safeway, Borders,
Crossroads Dental Group, Central Pacific Bank, Maryl
Realty, Maryl Group and Wal -Mart.
2.4 Project Description
The County of Hawaii is considering the public
auction sale, in fee simple or by lease, of Lot 6 at
the Crossroads. The public auction shall be held at
the main entrance of the County Building, located at
25 Aupuni Street, Hilo, Hawaii or at such other place
as is convenient in North Kona, Hawaii. Notice of
the public auction shall be published in accordance
with Section 2 -116, Notice, Hawaii County Code.
-5-
It is anticipated that the successful bidder will
develop Lot 6 in a manner consistent with other
developments in the area, i.e. - commercial office
buildings, commercial retail space, etc. However,
other types of uses will be allowed, provided, said
use is permitted under Section 25 -2 -112, Permitted
Uses (General Commercial District), Hawaii County
Code.
Timetable. It is anticipated that a public auction
shall be held within one (1) year of the date of
approval of the disposition by the Council of the
County of Hawaii.
3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT
3.1 Physical Characteristics
Climate. The average annual precipitation for
Kailua -Kona is 25 inches per year. The average
temperature is 72.1 degrees F. in the coolest month
and 77.3 degrees F. in the warmest month. The wind
patterns for Kailua -Kona are driven by the difference
in land and water temperature. Particularly on warm
days, this system produces light off -shore winds in
the mornings and early afternoon and on -shore winds
in the late afternoon and evenings.
Topography. Lot 6 is slightly sloping. The
elevation rises from 220 feet, more or less, to
250 feet, more or less, above sea level, along the
approximately 416 foot frontage. Topographic
information was obtained from the construction plans
titled Crossroads - Henry Street Extension.
Soils. The Soil Survey of the Island of Hawaii,
State of Hawaii, classifies the soil as Punaluu
extremely rocky peat, 6 to 20 percent slope (rPYD)
and Lava Flows, Pahoehoe (rLW).
In soils classified as Punaluu extremely rocky peat,
6 to 20 percent slope (rPYD), rock outcrops occupy
40 to 50 percent of the surface. In a representative
profile, the surface layer is black peat about
4 inches thick. It is underlain by pahoehoe lava
bedrock. This soil is medium acid.
Lava flows, pahoehoe (rLW), has been mapped as a
miscellaneous land type. This lava has a billowy,
glassy face that is relatively smooth. Pahoehoe has
no soil coverings, however, in areas of higher
-6-
rainfall or on older flows, scattered ohia trees and
other hardy vegetation have gained a foothold in
cracks and crevices.
Flora and Fauna. Lot 6 was previously mechanically
altered and cleared, except for the buffer zone
adjacent to the Great Wall of Kuakini. The
mechanically cleared portion of Lot 6 is relatively
free of vegetation. Only a few weed species were
observed.
There were several Koa haole (Leucaena leucocephala)
and Kiawe (Prosopis pallida) trees within the buffer
zone. Also observed growing in the buffer zone and
on top of the wall were ivy gourd vines (Coccinia
grandis).
The project site is not a habitat, nesting area or
flight path for any known threatened or endangered
wildlife.
Air Quality and Noise. There will be a certain
amount of noise associated with the construction
phase of the project. This short term impact should
be mitigated by requiring that construction
activities shall comply with the provisions of
Title 11, Chapter 46, Hawaii Administrative Rules of
the Department of Health titled "Community Noise
Control." The rules require, among other things,
that a noise permit shall be obtained if the noise
levels from the construction activities are expected
to exceed the allowable levels of the rules, and that
construction equipment and on -site vehicles requiring
an exhaust of gas or air shall be equipped with
mufflers. Air quality is also expected to be
impacted during the construction phase. The
development and implementation of a dust control plan
shall be required.
No long term adverse effects are foreseen as a result
of the proposed disposition of Lot 6. Under normal
conditions and with proper maintenance, there should
be no significant air quality problems. Further, it
is not anticipated that the noise levels generated
from any development on Lot 6 will be greater than a
similar type commercial development in any other
sector of the urban core.
-7-
41/ 411
3.2 Natural Hazards
Flood Hazard. Lot 6 is designated Zone X on the
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) which means the site
is outside the 500 year flood plain.
Tsunami Hazard. Lot 6 is outside of the Hawaii
County Civil Defense Tsunami Evacuation Zone.
Volcano Hazard. Lot 6 is classified as Lava Flow
Hazard Zone 4 by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Seismic Hazard. The entire County of Hawaii is rated
Zone 4, Seismic Probability Rating, according to the
Uniform Building Code, Appendix, Chapter 25,
Section 2518, on a scale of ascending risk 0 to 4.
The Code contains certain structural requirements to
address the potential seismic hazards.
3.3 Social and Cultural Issues
Ceded Land. - Lot 6 is not classified as ceded lands.
Historic Resources. In conjunction with petitions
for State Land Use Boundary Amendments (SLU 93 -1,
93 -2 and 93 -3) and County of Hawaii Applications for
Change of Zone (REZ 93 -11, 93 -12 and 93 -13), a report
titled "Lanihau, North Kona, Hawaii: Archaeological
Inventory Survey" was prepared by William Barrera,
Jr., of Chiniago, Inc. dated September 1990.
The report identifies one historic site (Site 7276)
on the subject property, the Great Wall of Kuakini.
The Wall is located along the eastern boundary of
Lot 6.
To insure that any future development would have "no
adverse effect" on the Wall, the following mitigation
measures shall be followed:
(1) Interior Protection Measures During
Construction. An appropriate buffer zone shall
be fenced off with highly visible fencing
material during land alteration and preparation
activities and during the entire period of
construction. The Hawaii island staff
archaeologist with the State Historic
Preservation Division shall be notified
(Tel. [808]933- 0482), and an inspection of the
-8-
• 1
fenceline shall be completed prior to the start
of any land alteration and /or construction
activity; and
(2) Permanent Buffer Zone. A buffer zone
consistent with other developments along the
Great Wall of Kuakini shall be required.
In his report, Barrera notes the observations made by
Marion Kelly, Na Mala o Kona: Gardens of Kona, A
History of Land Use in Kona, Bernice P. Bishop
Museum, Department of Anthropology, 1983: "It has
long been presumed that this wall was built sometime
during the governorship of John Adams Kuakini
[1820 -1844] to protect the cultivated uplands from
the depredations of cattle. However, as the wall is
at all points less than a mile from the seacoast,
only the food plots in the coastal region would have
been protected by it. It probably would have only
kept cattle and horses grazing on the kula away from
the houselots and small gardens along the shoreline."
Barrera concludes his report by stating that "Site
7276, the Kuakini Wall, is significant for its
association with broad patterns of history, its
association with a significant person, its importance
to an ethnic group [the native Hawaiians] and because
it contains important historical information,
specifically, information on methods and techniques
of stone wall construction. Every effort should be
made to stabilize and protect this site. Breaches of
the wall for access should be allowed, with the prior
consultation and approval of the Historic Sites
Section [State Historic Preservation Division]."
Visual Impact. Lot 6 is currently vacant. Its
development for commercial office and /or for retail
purposes will be in harmony with the existing
commercial developments at "Crossroads."
3.4 Infrastructure and Public Services Requirements
Roads. Lot 6 is serviced by Henry Street. Henry
Street was constructed within an 80 foot right -of -way
with a median strip, sidewalks, street lights at
appropriate intersections, street lamps, and is
landscaped with palm trees.
Access to Henry Street is from the Queen Kaahumanu
Highway and Palani Road.

In their study titled Traffic Impact Analysis Report
for Crossroads Phase 2, (which includes Lot 6) dated
April 1993, Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc., of
Honolulu, Hawaii, analyzed the traffic impact for the
development of Phase 2 of "Crossroads" for Maryl
Development, Inc. Three intersections were selected
for the study. They are:
(1) Palani Road and Queen Kaahumanu Highway;
(2) Henry Street and Queen Kaahumanu Highway
(future condition); and
(3) Palani Road and Henry Street (future condition).
The analysis was based on the construction of the
Henry Street extension through Phase 2 and the
following off -site improvements:
(1) Extend Henry Street from the applicant's mauka
property line to Palani Road on property
provided by others. This segment would be
developed as a four lane collector with a turn
lane within an 80' right -of -way, matching the
cross- section of Henry Street makai of Queen
Kaahumanu Highway;
(2) Construct one -half of the Henry Street /Palani
Road intersection; the other half should be
provided by the developer of the Mid -Level Road.
In their summary, Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc.
discussed the results of the level -of- service (LOS)
analysis that would identify project - related impacts
on the surrounding roadway network and mitigation
measures, if any.
Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc. writes:
"Criteria have been established in various cities to
define a significant traffic impact requiring
mitigation. These criteria were used in this study
as specific guidelines have not been established in
Kailua -Kona. Generally, the criteria are as
follows: if the level -of- service (LOS) under
cumulative conditions without the project is E or F,
and the volume /capacity (V /C) ratio changes 0.030 or
less, the project's traffic impacts are considered
insignificant. However, if the V/C ratio change is
-10-
greater than 0.030, then mitigation measures that
will reduce the V/C ratio change to less than 0.030
must be identified. If the LOS with project traffic
is D or better or if the V/C ratio changes are less
than 0.030, then no mitigation is required. For this
project, the 0.030 criterion has been used."
A summary of the level -of- service analysis results
for the intersections under study showed that "none
of the intersections that indicate Level -of- Service E
or F under Cumulative Conditions demonstrate a change
of 0.030 or greater during the AM peak or PM peak
hours."
Thus, Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc. concluded that
"the LOS for cumulative plus project conditions is
either D or better or the V/C ratio changes less than
0.030 at all three intersections analyzed.
Therefore, no mitigation measures are required in
addition to the off -site improvements noted above."
Water Services. Water service is available to Lot 6
from an existing 12" ductile iron pipeline along
Henry Street.
Wastewater Services. The development on Lot 6 shall
be required to hook up to the 12" PVC sewer line
which is in place along Henry Street.
Electrical and Telephone Services. Underground
electrical and telephone lines are available along
Henry Street.
Drainage System. Any increase in runoff attributed
to the development of Lot 6 will be disposed of on
site through drywells constructed on Lot 6 or through
an alternative method acceptable to the Department of
Public Works. The construction of drywells may
require an Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit
in accordance with Title 11, Chapter 23, Hawaii
Administrative Rules of the Department of Health.
Emergency Services. If required, fire and emergency
medical personnel are stationed at the Kailua Fire
Station on Palani Road. If police assistance is
required, the Hawaii County Police Department's
Kealakehe Station is located off of Queen Kaahumanu
Highway. The Kona Community Hospital is located in
Kealakekua.
-11-
•
Solid Waste Services. Construction waste, debris,
etc., generated during the land clearing and
construction phases on Lot 6 shall be disposed of at
an authorized disposal site.
After occupancy, the business entities located on
Lot 6 shall be individually or collectively
responsible for the disposal of the solid waste
generated on the site. Good conservation practices
and a recycling program should be implemented.
Other Public Services. The proposed project should
not impact other public services.

unimproved County -owned lands.
-18-
411 411
7.2 Alternative Sites
The County of Hawaii does not have any other
commercially zoned property available for disposition.
8.0 DETERMINATION
In accordance with Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised Statutes,
the technical and environmental issues, their potential
impacts and significance as they relate to the proposed
disposition and subsequent development of Lot 6, has been
discussed in the Draft Environmental Assessment. It is
anticipated that the proposed disposition and subsequent
development of Lot 6 will not significantly impact the
environment, therefore, a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) is anticipated and an Environmental Impact
Statement will not be required. This determination is
based on the significant criteria listed in
Section 11- 200 -12, Hawaii Administrative Rules of the
Department of Health titled Environmental Impact Statement
Rules which are discussed below:
(1) The proposed project does not involve an irrevocable
commitment or loss or destruction of any natural or
cultural resources.
A portion of the Great Wall of Kuakini (Site 7276) is
located along the eastern boundary of Lot 6. To
insure that any development on Lot 6 would have "no
adverse effect" on the Wall, (1) Interior Protection
Measures during construction; and (2) a permanent
buffer zone consistent with other developments along
the wall, shall be required.
(2) The proposed project does not curtail the range of
beneficial uses of the environment.
No restriction of beneficial uses would occur as the
proposed use of the site is consistent with existing
land use plans and policies.
(3) The proposed project does not conflict with the
State's long -term environmental policies or goals and
•
guidelines as expressed in Chapter 344, HRS, and any
revisions thereof and amendments thereto, court
decisions or executive orders.
The broad goals of the State's long -term
environmental policies are to conserve natural
resources and enhance the quality of life. The
proposed public aution /sale and development of Lot 6
will not conflict with these goals.
-19-
(4) The proposed project does not substantially affect
the economic or social welfare of the community or
State.
The proposed public auction sale of Lot 6 will have a
positive economic effect since it will provide
aditional monies to the General Fund of the County of
Hawaii. Development of Lot 6 will add short -term
economic opportunities in the construction industry
and for the long term, provide for additional
economic growth within the commercial core of
Kailua -Kona.
(5) The proposed project does not substantially affect
public health.
The public auction sale of Lot 6 and its subsequent
development will not substantially affect public
health and /or safety.
(6) The proposed project does not involve substantial
secondary impacts, such as population changes or
effects on public facilities.
No secondary effects are expected. The availability
of public services such as roads, water, wastewater,
electrical and telephone service was addressed during
the development of "Crossroads" of which Lot 6 is a
part.
(7) The proposed project does not involve a substantial
degradation of environmental quality.
The public auction sale of Lot 6 will not involve a
substantial degradation of environmental quality.
The subsequent development will utilize Best
Management Practices and shall comply with all
applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations of the Federal, State and County of
Hawaii governments.
(8) The proposed project is not one which is individually
limited but cumulatively may have considerable effect
upon the environment or involves a commitment for
larger actions.
The proposed project is limited to the public auction
sale of Lot 6 and its subsequent development in
accordance with applicable land uses, zoning and
building requirements. The proposed project is not
-20-
related to other activities in the area in such a way
that it would produce adverse cumulative effects or
involve a commitment of a larger action.
(9) The proposed project does not substantially affect
any rare, threatened or endangered species or its
habitat.
Lot 6 is not a habitat, nesting area or flight path
for any known rare, threatened, or endangered species
of flora or fauna.
(10) The proposed project does not detrimentally affect
air or water quality or ambient noise levels.
No substantial effects to air, water or ambient noise
levels will occur from the public auction sale of
Lot 6 and its subsequent development. Temporary
effects will occur during the construction period but
will be mitigated by employing Best Management
Practices and strict adherence to applicable
Department of Health regulation regarding air, water
and noise.
(11) The project does not affect nor would it likely to be
damaged as a result of being located in
environmentally sensitive area such as a flood plain,
tsunami zone, erosion -prone area, geologically
hazardous land, estuary, fresh water, or coastal area.
Although the proposed project is located in a zone
exposed to seismic hazard, there are no reasonable
alternatives that would avoid such exposure. The
proposed action would not expose any person to
unreasonable risk.
(12) The project will not substantially affect scenic
vistas and viewplanes identified in county or state
plans or studies.
Lot 6 does not lie within scenic vista and viewplanes
identified in the General Plan - County of Hawaii.
(13) The project will not require substantial energy
consumption.
The public auction sale of Lot 6 and its subsequent
development will not require substantial energy
consumption.

Dear Glenn,
This note is in support of the proposed County sale by auction of the 1-acre lot known
as Crossroads La 6.
I fully appreciate that the real estate activities of the County are often over
by some of our zealous citizens. However, in this case, the proposed sale seems a
complete win/win for the community. The Crossroads Center is a very successful
commercial model for Hawaii with good planning and excellent execution being
obvious. It is logical and sensible to expand this area and the sale of Lot 6 will allow
this to happen.
As an interested taxpayer, I fully support the proposed sale.
Sincerely,

RE: Crossroads Lot 6
D ear Glenn:
I am writing this letter in support of the County putting the
commercial lot 6 up for public auction. I think this is a good idea to
generate funds for the County and allow this lot to be develop
privately versus sitting vacant in one of Kailua - Kona's most
successful commercial developments. I fully support any effort to
auction this parcel.
Sincerely,

Re: Proposed Public Auction Sale of Lot 6 at "Crossroads" TMK 3rd/7 -5 -04:63
I appreciate receiving information on the proposed public auction sale of the fee
simple interest of the above property.
I believe this property was initially intended to be used for the site of a County
building in West Hawaii. Since then committments were made to use other facilities and
with no immeadiate County use for this property I beleive it would be a good decision to
sell the property and use the funds for much needed impovements in the West Hawaii
are / a a. .

I have reviewed the pre - assessment consultation document as you requested.
As an interested citizen and a member of the Hawaii Leeward Planning
Conference I find that the document more than adequately describes the subject
parcel , its potential uses and the environs.
The proposed public auction /lease is readily supported as being appropriate. It
has been declared surplus to the immediate needs of the County of Hawaii and
its disposal can only help the financial position of the County.

RE: Pre - Assessment Consultation for the Proposed Public Auction Sale,
in Fee Simple or by Lease, of Lot 6 at "Crossroads" situate at
Lanihau 1, North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 3 7 -5- 04:63.
Dear Mr. Mayor, •
Thank you for the opportunity to review the above referenced document
regarding the proposed disposition.
We have reviewed the document, agree with its findings, and would like
to encourage the County to proceed with the proposed action in due
course for the following reasons:
• The proposed sale or lease will provide funds for the county.
• This action will allow private sector investment to initiate jobs and
commerce in the area.
• Annual real property taxes associated with Lot 6 which not currently
being collected will go directly to the County.
We believe this action to be in the best interest for the citizens of the
County of Hawaii.
Respectfull Submitted,
