These were a) Use Permit No. 74, which was approved on March 1, 1990 to allow the establishment of a 27-hole golf course and related improvements; b) Special Perntit No. 93-24, which was approved on February 17, 1994, for the expanded use of the golf clubhouse and community facilities; and c) Ordinance No. 94 78, which became effective on July 13, 1994. Because they all relate to the same project, we respectfully request your continued acceptance of this letter in full satisfaction of the annual report requirements for all of the above approvals. A similar report was submitted last year in March. As this project is an ongoing one with considerable progress made since the permits were issued, this report will be an update of last year's report; and if you desire additional information or have questions on other related matters, please let me know. USE PERMIT No. 74 Construction commenced on February 26, 1993. The grading and shaping work for the first eighteen (18) holes have been completed. Grassing and maintenance are the primary activities for that area now. The anticipated opening of this course would be early 1997. Work for the remaining nine (9) holes will begin within the next few months. The archaeological condition relative to discovery of sites will continue for this phase. Likewise, the suggested mitigations reflected in the approved floral and faunal mitigation programs as well as the dust mitigation ~hC~/ Ms. Virginia Goldstein March 25, 1997 Page 2 programs will continue to be implemented in this phase. The applicant will shortly be submitting its overall program to satisfy the recreational benefits program outlined in this Permit, as well as the rezoning condition. Likewise, the channelized intersection and the interior roadway to the clubhouse will be completed before the end of this year. It is understood that these must be fulfilled before the golf course is opened. In the area of water, the potable wells are already in place. The required certification of the water wells from the State Department of Health are now being worked on. Further, the formation of a private water company and the required approvals from the Public Utilities Commission are now being worked on. S TAL• P MTT No. 3-24 This permit relates to the expanded use of the clubhouse and the community park. The building permit for the clubhouse has been issued and construction has already begun. It is anticipated that the clubhouse should be completed before the end of this year or early 1998. Likewise, plans for the maintenance building are now being finalized, and permits will be applied for within the next month. Plans for the volunteer fire station and the community recreation are now being prepared. Construction of these facilities will be completed prior to opening of the golf course. At this time, the tentative opening date is late 1997 or early 1998. During construction of the clubhouse and community facilities, the applicant is aware of and will comply with the appropriate archaeological and dust control conditions. REZ ORD No. 94 78 This relates to the rezoning of the project site. Zoning became effective last year, after satisfaction of the Ms. Virginia Goldstein March 25, 1997 Page 3 proof that water is available to service the site. Since that time, preliminary subdivision approval has already been secured. The applicant is now in the process of complying with the appropriate subdivision conditions, some of which are related to rezoning conditions. In that regard, construction plans for the interior roadways are now being prepared. Provisions for water to the community park and adjoining properties are being made as part of the construction plans. As noted earlier, the required certification of the wells from the Department of Health and formation of a water company are already underway. In the preparation of the final plat maps, appropriate easements to reflect the requirements of the State relative to access to the north and makai area, as well as burial site access will be prepared. Then, too, we will be working with your office in trying to satisfy the impact fee requirements. Proposed covenants relative to no ohana, agricultural restrictions, and other matters will be submitted to your office for approval. It is understood that these, among other conditions, must be satisfied before final approval can be secured. On a related matter, the Special Permit for the 50-unit, members only lodge is now under appeal with the Circuit Court. It is hoped that a decision on this matter could occur within the next few months. We trust that the foregoing adequately covers the annual report requirement. If there is a need for additional information or clarification on any of the above, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much. n~~~erel%~~ S NEY M.
