Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone (REZ 851)
Request: Amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97-49
Applicant: The Bay Club Ownership, Inc.
Tax Map Key: 6-9-7:15
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on October 3, 2003, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for a time extension to Condition B
(time to secure Plan Approval) of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97 49, which rezoned
approximately 9.643 acres from the Open (O) to the Resort-Hotel 2-acre (V-2a) district. The
property is located at the south end of Anaehoomalu Bay and abuts the South Kohala-North
Kona District boundary, Anaehoomalu, South Kohala, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the request:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition B (secure Fina] Plan
Approval) of Ordinance No. 97 49 for an additional five yeazs to secure Final Plan
Approval for arecreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-family dwellings,
parking area, other related recreational facilities, and associated improvements and
infrastructure on a 9.643-acre coastal parcel.
Effective March 24, 1997, Ordinance No. 97 49 changed the district classification
of the subject property from Open (O) to Resort-Hotel (V-2a). The applicant requested
the change of zone to construct a recreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-

and Members of the County Council

family dwellings, parking azea, other related recreational facilities, and associated
improvements and infrastructure on a 9.643-acre coastal parcel. Under Condition B,
Final Plan Approval for the development should have been secured within five yeazs from
the effective date of the change of zone, or March 24, 2002. Although the applicant
secured Final Plan Approval on October 8, 2001, they did not utilize it within the
required two-year period stated within Section 25-2-7, which states:
Section 25-2-7. Utilization of approvals within two yeazs. Whenever any permit or
approval issued under this chapter, not otherwise conditioned, except for any amendment
of this chapter reclassifying a zoning district, has not been utilized within a period of two
years from the date of the written permit or approval, the director shall initiate
proceedings to invalidate the permit or approval. The proceeding to invalidate the permit
or approval shall require written notice to the owner or person who has been issued the
permit or approval prior to either the director or the commission taking action to
invalidate the permit or approval. In the event that an appeal is filed regarding any permit
or approval issued under this chapter, the two-year period provided for under this section
shall not commence to run until a final decision is rendered in the appeal.
The inability of the applicant to comply with the requirements of Condition B of
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97 49 is the result of conditions that could not have been
foreseen or aze beyond the control of the applicant. There have been global effects to the
local economy, mainly the effects of terrorism that were unforeseen and were beyond the
control of the applicant when the entitlements were initially issued (1997 and 2000).
The applicant continues to believe that conditions aze changing and greater global
security will be achieved in due time. This optimism has thus motivated the applicant to
expend funds and fulfill as many conditions of the existing entitlements. The applicant
believes that the project could be completed within the next five years.
Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan or
Zoning Code. Since the rezoning was approved for the project site in 1997, there have
been no changes to the General Plan affecting the subject property or immediately
surrounding area. According to the applicant, all improvements consistent with the
prevailing Zoning Code standazds, such as setback, height, parking, and landscaping will
be complied with.
Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original reasons for
the granting of the permit. The original reasons for the approval of the rezoning aze still
valid today. Accordingly, approval of this extension request would not be inconsistent
with the original reasons for approving the rezoning ordinance.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

BACKGROUND REPORT
THE BAY CLUB OWNERSHIP RESORT, INC.
CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE N0.97 49 (REZ 851)
AMENDMENT TO CONDTTION NO. B
SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA USE PERMIT NO. 412 (SMA N0.412)
AMENDMENT TO CONDITION N0.4
THE BAY CLUB OWNERSHIP RESORT, INC. is requesting a time extension to
Condition B (time to secure Plan Approval) of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97 49 (REZ 581),
which rezoned 9.643 acres from the Open (O) to the Resort-Hotel 2-acre (V-2a) district. The
applicant is also requesting a time extension to Condition No. 4 (time to secure Plan Approval)
of Special Management Area Use Permit No. 412, which allowed the development of a
recreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-family dwellings, pazking azea, other related
recreational facilities, and associated improvements and infrastructure. The Nikken Corporation
is the fee owner of the subject property. The property is located at the south end of
Anaehoomalu Bay and abuts the South Kohala-North Kona District boundary, Anaehoomalu,
South Kohala, Hawaii, TMK: 6-9-7:15.
REQUEST
1. Request: The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition B of Change of Zone
Ordinance No. 97 49 (REZ 581) for an additional five yeazs to secure Final Plan
Approval for arecreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-family dwellings,
pazking area, other related recreational facilities, and associated improvements and
infrastructure. The applicant has also requested an amendment to Condition No. 4 of
Special Management Area Use Permit No. 412 for an additional five yeazs to secure Final
Plan Approval. (See Exhibit A -August 6, 2003 Letter With Attachments and Letter
dated September 23, 2003)
2. Applicant's Reasons for the Request: According to the applicant, "the inability to
comply with conditions is a result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or were
beyond the control of the applicant. Although there have been renewed development
interests in this azea, much of these have been directed towards the resort/residential
c -39/ Gt3rll / 73~ PC
markets. The subject project is somewhat different, as it has multiple uses, including
recreational, retail (restaurant), office, and residential components. As such, lingering
fears of the global economic malaise (particularly in Asia), the residual effects of the
SARS epidemic, and the threat of terrorism have somewhat dampened the applicant's
level of aggressiveness. These conditions, especially the effect of terrorism and SARS,
were absent or at least not readily apparent when the entitlements were initially issued
(1997 and 2000).
The applicant continues to believe that conditions are changing and greater global
security will be achieved in due time. This optimism has thus motivated the applicant to
expend funds and fulfill as many conditions of the existing entitlements. The applicant
believes that the project could be completed within the next five years."

Deaz Mr. Yuen:
Subject: Annual Report and Time Extension Requests (SMA 00-015 &
Ord. 97 49), The Bay Club Ownershia. Inc.. TMK: 6-9-07•r1~j Y
•
The subject property is located at the south end of'Anaeho'omalu Bay and abuts
the South Kohala-North Kona District boundary. By approval of Ordinance No. 97 49,
the subject property was rezoned into the Resort-Hotel (V-2a) on Mazch 24, 1997
(Exhibit A). This rezoning was subject to a number of performance conditions. One of
these (Condition B) required the issuance of Plan Approval within five (5) years of the
rezoning (March 24, 2002).
Subsequently, SMA Use Permit No. 412 was issued on November 30, 2000 by the
Planning Commission for the development of a recreationaViestauranUoffice complex,
four dwellings, and related facilities on the subject site (Exhibit B). The approval was
also subject to a number of performance conditions. Specifically, Condition 4 required
that Final Plan Approval be secured by March 24, 2002 to coincide with the rezoning
condition. Condition 14 also required the submittal of an annual report. The last one was
filed with your office on September 18, 2002.
Final Plan Approval was secured on October 8, 2001, thus meeting with the
aforementioned conditions (Exhibit C). Section 25-2-7 of the Zoning Code, however,
requires the Plan Approval to be utilized within two (2) years of its issuance. As such, if
a building or construction permit were not issued before October 8, 2003, the Plan
Approval becomes void.
Although the real estate mazket in Hawaii has being on the upswing the past yeaz,
there is still some measure economic anxieties associated with the "Waz on Terrorism"
and the slow pace of global economic recovery. As such, the applicant is still working on
finalizing its financing and plans for this project. Notwithstanding this anxiety, the
applicant has gone ahead and fulfilled most, if not all, of the conditions associated with
the issuance of a building permit for this project. These include, for example,
completion of the Solid Waste Management Plan, Preliminary Flood or Drainage Study,
azchaeological preservation plan, and anchialine preservation plan. The required impact
fee and affordable housing program have also been satisfied.
3)+.5..~;1~(S~.
Mr. Christopher Yuen
August 6, 2003
Page 2
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, the applicant believes that the project could
be completed within the next 5 years. As such, the applicant respectfully requests
amendments to Condition B of Ordinance No. 97 49 and Condition 4 of SMA 00-015 to
allow five years within which to complete the project.
Please note that it appears that Condition N of Ordinance No. 97 49 does not
allow the Planning Drrector to grant an extension. of Condition B. As such, unless
another interpretation could be rendered, it is my understanding that the extension must
be acted upon by the County Council with the review and recommendatiori of the
Planning Commission. '
On the other hand, Condition 15 of SMA 00-015, gives the Planning Drrector the
ability to grant a time extension of Condition 4. The performance requirement of the
SMA permit, however, is tied into the rezoning ordinance. As such, in the event you aze
unable to grant an administrative extension of the rezoning ordinance, we respectfully
request that Condition 4 of the SMA permit be amended by the Planning Commission to
allow the extension to run concurrent with the requested extension of the rezoning
ordinance.
JUSTIFICATION OF REQUESTS
Tn making these extension requests, the applicant respectfully requests your taking
the following into consideration:
1. The applicant's inability to perform within the stipulated period was a
result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or were beyond the
control of the applicant and not attributable to the applicant's negligence.
Although there have been renewed development interests in this azea,
much of these have been directed towards the resort/residential mazkets.
The subject project is somewhat different, as it has a multiple uses,
including recreational, retail (restaurant), office, and residential
components. As such, the lingering feazs of the global economic malaise
(particulazly in Asia), the residual effects of the SARS epidemic, and the
threat of terrorism have somewhat dampened the applicant's level of
aggressiveness. These conditions, especially the effect of terrorism and
SARS, were absent or at least not readily apparent when the entitlements
were initially issued (1997 and 2000).
Mr. Christopher Yuen
August 6, 2003
Page 3
The applicant continues to believe that conditions aze changing and greater
global security will be achieved in due time. This optimism has thus
motivated the applicant to expend funds and fulfill as many conditions of
the existing entitlements, as discussed above; and the applicant believes
that the project could be completed within the next five yeazs.
2. Approval of these requests would not be contrary to the prevailing General
Plan and Zoning Code
Since the rezoning was approved for the site in 1997, there have been no
changes to the General Plan affecting the subject property or immediately
surrounding area. All improvements consistent with the prevailing Zoning
Code standards, such as setback, height, pazking, and landscaping will be
complied with.
Likewise, since 2000 when the SMA permit was issued, there have been
no changes to the criteria or guidelines for issuance of a SMA permit.
3. Approval of these requests would not be contrary to the original reasons
for granting of the requests for the rezoning and SMA permit.
In approving the SMA permit, the Planning Commission discussed the
project's relationship to the General Plan, zoning ordinance, SMA
guidelines, and other policies of the State and County. In summary, the
Commission concluded that the request or development will
"...not have a substantial adverse impact on the surrounding area, nor will
its approval be contrazy to the objectives and policies of Chapter 205-A,
HRS, relating to Coastal Zone Management and Rule 9 of the Planning
Commission relating to the Special Management Area."
A full description of the findings and relationship to the General Plan aze
found in the permit, a copy of which is found in Exhibit B. You will find
that the reasons for the approval of both the rezoning and SMA permit aze
still valid today. Accordingly, approval of these extension requests would
not be inconsistent with the original reasons for approving the SMA and
rezoning ordinance.

Dear Mr. Fuke:
Special Management Area Use Permit Application (SMA 00-015)
Applicant: The Bay Club Ownership Resort, Inc.
Request: Allow for a RecreationaURestaurant/Office Complex and
Four Single Family Residences
Tax Map Key' 6-9-7.15
The Planning Commission at its duly held public hearing on November 1, 2000, voted to
approve the above-referenced application. Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit
No. 412 is hereby issued for the development of a recreationaUrestaurant/office complex, four
single-family dwellings, parking area, other related recreational facilities, and associated
improvements and infrastructure. The property is located at the south end of `Anaeho`omalu
Bay and abuts the South Kohala-North Kona District boundary, `Anaeho `omalu, South Kohala,
Hawaii.
Approval of this request is based on the following:
The purpose of Chapter 205A, Hawa~,i Revised Statutes (HRS), and Special
Management Area Rules and Regulations of the County of Hawaii, is to preserve,
protect, and where possible, to restore the natural resources of the coastal zone areas.
Therefore, special controls on development within an area along the shoreline aze
necessary to avoid permanent loss of valuable resources and the foreclosure of
management options.
The development of a recreational/restaurant/office complex, four single-family
dwellings, parking area, and other related recreational facilities, and associated
improvements and infrastructure will not have any significant adverse environmental or
ecological effect, except as such adverse effect is minimized to the extent practicable
EXHIBIT B
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 2
and clearly outweighed by public health, safety, or compelling public interest. Such
adverse effect shall include, but not be limited to, the potential cumulative impact of
individual developments, each one of which taken in itself might not have a substantial
adverse effect and elimination of planning options.
"The applicant, who is the owner and operator of the Bay Club at Waikoloa,
would like to use the site for a restaurant, health and beach spa, office building, and 4
residential units. This would be part of the Bay Club's overall operations.
"It is the intent of this project to be "annexed" to the Waikoloa Beach Resort.
As such, the uses are intended to be complementary of the Waikoloa Beach Resort.
Likewise, the architectural design of the project should also blend with and be
consistent with the design concepts of the Resort. Accordingly, the structures will be
essentially low-rise (no more than 2 stories) and will emphasize the use of indigenous
materials and subtle colors. Minimal site grading will be done to have the project
blend with the existing contours and natural landscape of the area. Additionally, ample
low-land landscaping that is typical of this area will be implemented along the mauka
boundary of the subject site to help screen views from the highway and scenic vantage
points. No construction will occur within the 40-foot shoreline setback area."
The subject property, consisting of 9.643 acres, is located at the south end of
'Anaeho'omalu Bay and immediately south of the Waikoloa Beach Resort Complex.
The subject property was previously used as a private recreation area for Parker Ranch
employees and was known as the Parker Ranch recreational area. Approximately 400
feet mauka of the shoreline is an existing 1,156 square foot enclosed recreational
pavilion with about 1,700 square feet of open lanai or deck. The applicant states that
this structure will be renovated and continue to be used as a recreational pavilion.
There is also an existing 6-foot fence along the northern portion of the property that
stops about 350 feet short of the shoreline.
The subject property is bordered by the Waikoloa Beach Resort to the north and
west; to the east are ]ands zoned Open and Resort-Hotel (V-1.25).
As noted in the Natural Resources and Shorelines element of the General Plan,
the best beaches on the island are along the coast between Kailua-Kona and Kawaihae.
In the Recreation element of the General Plan, Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area
and the County's Samuel M. Spencer Beach Park are named as the major developed
ocean recreation areas. The most notable recreational area in the vicinity of the
property is 'Anaeho'omalu Bay. There already is an improved mauka-makai access on
the adjoining property to the north. As there will be no structural improvements within
the 40-foot shoreline setback area, lateral access fronting the subject property will not
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 3
be impeded. Furthermore, an area at the north side of the property will be improved
with two accessible parking stalls.
According to Section 9.6(B) of the Planning Commission's Rules, all
development permitted in the Special Management Area shall be subject to reasonable
terms and conditions as necessary in order to:
a. Improve coordination and funding of coastal recreation planning and
management; and
b. Provide adequate, accessible, and diverse recreational opportunities in
the coastal zone management area by:
iii. Providing and managing adequate public access, consistent with
conservation of natural resources, to and along shorelines with
recreational value;
In addition Ordinance No. 96-17 states: "The legislature also found that miles
of shorelines, coastal waters and mountain areas under the jurisdiction of the State of
Hawaii are inaccessible to the general public due to the absence of public rights-of-
way; that the population of the county is increasing while presently accessible beach,
shoreline and mountain areas remain fixed; and that the absence of public access to the
county's shoreline and mountain azeas constitute an infringement upon the fundamental
right of free movement in public space and access to and use of these public coastal and
mountain recreational areas."
In order to ensure the preservation of lateral shoreline public access along the
subject property, the applicant shall be required to designate a public access easement
within the shoreline setback area in perpetuity. As a condition of approval, a copy of
the proposed public access easement to be recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances
shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval. A copy of the
approved public access easement shall be recited in an instrument executed by the
applicant and the County and recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances in conjunction
with the issuance of Final Plan Approval. Upon recordation of-the shoreline public
access easement, the proposal would not have any adverse effect on public access to the
shoreline and would complement the goals of the General Plan's Recreation Element
which states to "provide a diversity of environments for active and passive pursuits"
and to "provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities " This requirement
will also fulfill the right of public access to the ocean and shorelines.
Mr. Sidney Fuke

In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, 'Anaeho'omalu Bay is listed
as a scenic resource. 'Anaeho'omalu Bay is approximately one mile from Queen
Ka'ahumanu Highway, where the nearest public view plane is located. In order to
mitigate impacts on view planes, all of the structures will be less than the permitted 45
feet in height. The tallest and largest of the structures to be built will be no higher than
35 feet and will be setback more than 200 feet from the shoreline to minimize its visual
impact from the shoreline. Plants tolerant of the grid coastal climate will be used to
landscape the property to help mitigate the visual impacts of the structures and
associated improvements. In addition, earth tone colors, non-reflective materials and
appropriate design will be used to mitigate any adverse visual impacts.
The proposed development is consistent with the objectives and policies as
provided by Chapter 205A, HRS, and Special Management Area guidelines contained
in Rule No. 9 of the Planning Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure. As the
subject property lies along the shoreline, there are potential hazards from tsunami
inundation. The portion of the property immediately adjacent to the shoreline is
located in Flood Zone VE-8, or a tsunami zone where the base flood elevation is eight
feet above mean sea level. A strip of land immediately inland is designated AE-7, or
an area within the 100-year flood plain where the base flood elevation is seven feet
above mean sea level. The remaining two-thirds of the property is located in Zone X,
outside of the 500-year flood plain. The subject property is located within the Civil
Defense Agency's. Tsunami Evacuation Zone. As with the Waikoloa Beach Resort
complex, patrons and occupants of the proposed development would be subject to
evacuation in the event of a tsunami. In order to mitigate drainage hazards, the
applicant will be required to prepare a drainage study and install a drainage system
meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works. Any new construction
or substantial improvements within flood plains azeas are subject to the requirements of
Chapter 27, Flood Control, of the Hawaii County Code. The applicant has stated that
no structural improvements are contemplated within the "VE" area. Within the "AE"
area, the few structures and improvements planned will be designed and/or elevated to
conform to the "AE" elevation requirements based on the base flood elevation. With
these mitigation measures in place, the development will not result in significant
adverse impact to the environment as the result of tsunami and drainage hazards.
Therefore, conditions of approval will be included to comply with this
recommendation.
Any potential runoff or discharge which could reach ocean waters can be
handled by on-site improvements meeting with the approval of the Department of
Public Works and the Department of Health. Any discharges into State waters will
require the applicant to secure a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit meeting with the requirements of the Department of Health prior to
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 5
any construction activities. Wastewater generated by the project will be disposed of
within a wastewater treatment system meeting with the approval of the Department of
Health. With these precautionary measures in place, the proposed development is not
anticipated to have any substantial adverse effects on the coastal resources or
environment.
The applicant's county environmental report referenced a report that
accompanied an earlier change of zone application for this parcel. The earlier report
noted that vegetation throughout the site consisted of kiawe, coconut (Cocos nucifera),
naupaka (Scaevola taccada), pandanus or hala (Pandanus tectorius), noni (Morinda
citrifolia), pickleweed (Bads martima), and sedge or 'ahu'awa. It also concluded that
there was no known rare or endangered plant life on the subject site or in the
immediate vicinity of the property. The same report also noted that an inventory of the
aquatic resources of the anchialine ponds on the site was conducted by Richard E.
Brock, Ph.D. in March 1996. The inventory noted that the larger anchialine pond
revealed the dominance of introduce tilapia and the presence of aholehole, black crab,
dragonfly nymphs, and ubiquitous brackish water snail. Species present in a smaller
anchialine pond proximate to the larger pond included the cyano-bacterial blue-green
mat, opae'ula, alpheid shrimp, and a small, unidentified reddsh amphiopod. The
inventory revealed that no unusual anchialine species were found in either ponds and
that all species encountered were common to the West Hawaii anchialine biotope.
Based on the inventory and to provide for the adequate protection of the aquatic
resources of these two anchialine ponds, an Anchialine Pool Management Plan was
prepared by Dr. Brock. In a memorandum, dated October 23, 1996, the State DLNR-
Aquatic Resources Division in commenting on the change of zone application and Plan
noted [hat it had "no objections to the zone change" and did "not expect any significant
impact adverse to aquatic resource values from constructing the single family resort
residence. " It did go on to recommend that "the anchialine pond management plan be
conditioned as part of the permit process to assure protection of the ponds."'
In 1991, Paul H. Rosendahl, Ph.D., Inc. (PHRI) performed an inventory level
archaeological survey of the subject property. In 1996, an addendum report was
performed by PHRI to update the earlier survey. The 1996 addendum notes that of the
five sites on the property, two petroglyph sites (sites 20760 and 20763)- and two
modified anchialine ponds (sites 20761 and 20762) near the noithern boundary of the
parcel are significant for their information content and should be preserved as is. The
modified anchialine ponds are further assessed as significant for information content
and as provisionally significant for cultural value. One of the ponds (site 20761) is
additionally assessed as significant as an excellent example of a site type. In addition,
site 14215 was judged to be no longer significant as no burials were found. When the
change of zone for the property was approved in 1997, one of the conditions of
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 6
approval was a requirement to prepare a historic preservation plan for these four sites.
Once this plan is submitted, it will be subject to review and approval by the Planning
Director in consultation with the Department of Land and Natural Resources-Historic
Preservation Division (DLNR-HPD) prior to any land altering activity or development
of the property. Such an approved plan will mitigate any impacts to historic and
archaeological resources on the property. The applicant notes that when the change of
zone application was being considered, there was an issue related to a potential trail
which skirted the south end of the larger anchialine pond and continued east across the
a'a lava flow; this potential trail was documented in a 1971 report by William Barrera.
In response to these concerns, the then applicant's representative stated that this was
not so and/or not needed as "there is already a public access trail in the immediate
vicinity of the subject trail and the DLNR State Historic Preservation Division
previously recommended that this trail is not required for preservation because there
are similar types of such trails already preserved as part of the Waikoloa resort
complex." Submitted in conjunction with this application is a cultural resources and
historical documentation report, dated May 30, 2000, prepared by Kepa Maly of Kumu
Pono Associates. The report notes that there were small coastal settlements along the
western shoreline of Hawaii by ca. AD 1200, including at 'Anaeho'omalri.
'Anaeho'omalu was one of the choice lands in an otherwise grid region t;ecause it
provided settlers with fresh water resources and a sheltered, sandy bay.
'Anaeho'omalu, as well as other lands to the north were valued and perhaps subdivided
for their rich fishery resources (fish ponds, near shore and deep sea fisheries). While
'Anaeho'omalu is cut off from the upland resources, it appears to have had agricultural
ties with the upland areas of Pu'u Anahulu and Pu'u Wa'awa'a. The report adds that
"by the early 1900's, residency near the shore of 'Anaeho'omalu was limited, and often
associated with seasonal residency patterns. Residency appears to have been tied to
important fishing seasons, with selected areas used over successive generations by
native tenants who resided in the uplands of the South Kohala-North Kona region. "
In light of the State Supreme Court's recent decision to set aside the State Land
Use Commission's 1996 reclassification from Conservation to Urban for the proposed
expansion of the Ka'upulehu Resort to "help ensure the enforcement of traditional and
customary native Hawaiian rights while reasonably accommodating competing private
development interests," the applicant has commissioned Haun and Associates to
perform a cultural assessment of the subject property using the Court's suggested
"analytical framework." This assessment utilizes the information contained in the
PHRI archaeological inventory survey addendum and the historical overview prepared
by Kumu Pono Associates. The Haun and Associates assessment states: "Based on the
findings of the archaeological inventory survey; and on the findings of research on
native Hawaiian customs, practices, and historic events in the coastal lands of
'Anaeho'omalu; there are "valued cultural, historical, or natural resources" in the
project area. These consist of [wo petroglyph sites and potentially, two anchialine
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 7
ponds. There is evidence that traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights are
exercised along the coast in the parcel. This use consists of coastal travel and fishing. "
The assessment concludes that the proposed project has the potential to adversely
impact the four archaeological resources (the two petroglyph sites and the two
anchialine ponds) but that such impact will be mitigated by their preservation in
accordance with a Preservation Plan to be prepared and implemented with the approval
of DLNR-HPD. The assessment also notes that the ponds will be maintained in
accordance with an Anchialine Pond Management Plan required by DLNR-Aquatic
Resources Division. The assessment also concludes that the project has the potential to
adversely impact on the traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights of access,
coastal travel, and fishing. These potential impacts will be mitigated by providing
access to the preserved sites and by providing access via the existing beach access road
on the northeast side of the parcel. The assessment asserts that coastal travel and
fishing occur along the coast within the shoreline setback area and will not be affected
by the proposed development.
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning
Code. The subject property is designated-for Resort uses by the General Plan Land
Use Allocation {3uide (LUPAG) Map. The General Plan identifies the ares
surrounding the subject property as a major resort area. Such a resort is a self-
contained destination area, which provides an array of support facilities. Thus, the
applicant's proposal to develop arecreational/restaurant/office complex and four
single-family dwellings is consistent with the General Plan Goals, Policies and LUPAG
Map.
The subject property is currently zoned Resort-Hotel (V-2a). Based on this
zoning, the maximum number of units allowed on this property is four. The other
uses, such as restaurant, office, spa and recreational areas, are consistent with the
current zoning.
The proposed request for the development of a recreational/restaurant/office
complex, four single-family dwellings, parking area, and other related recreational
facilities, and associated improvements and infrastructure will conform to the following
goals, policies and standards of the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
LAND USE
* Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 8
* Zone urban- and rural- types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and
facilities.
* Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or
projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
* The county shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
* Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with
adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and
public need.
The Proposed request for the development of a recreational/restaurant/office
complex, four single-family dwellings, parking area, and other related recreational
facilities, and associated improvements and infrastructure will also conform to the
goals, policies and standards of the Single Family Residential, Housing and Economic
Elements of the General Plan.
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
* To maximize choices of single-family residential lots and/or housing for
residents of the County.
* To provide single-family residential areas conveniently located to public and
private services, shopping, other community activities and convenient access to
employment centers.
* Areas shall have basic improvements and amenities necessary for immediate
use.
* Area shall be limited to low-density and medium density residential uses.
HOUSING ELEMENT
* Attain safe, sanitary and livable housing for the residents of the County of
Hawaii.
Mr. Sidney Fuke
Page 9
* Attain a diversity of socio-economic housing mix throughout the different parts
of the County.
* Maintain a housing supply which allows a variety of choice.
* Develop better places to live in Hawaii County by creating viable communities
with decent housing and suitable living environments for our people.
* Improve and maintain the quality and affordability of the existing housing stock.
* Seek sufficient production of new affordable rental and fee-simple housing in
the County in a variety of sizes to satisfactorily accommodate the needs and
desires of families and individuals.
The development is consistent with the Economic Element of the General Plan
in that the proposed development will provide additional and expanded employment
opportunities for the residents of the area. The employment opportunities for the
proposed development- will generate short-term (construction) employment.
ECONOMIC ELEMENT
* Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life.
* Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical
and social environments of the island of Hawaii.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversification of its economy by
strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors.
Based on the foregoing, the proposed development of a
recreational/restaurant/office complex, four single-family dwellings, parking area, and
other related recreational facilities, and associated improvements and infrastructure,

Dear Mr. Yuen:
Subject: Time Extension Requests (SMA 00-015 & Ord. 97 49)
The Bay Club Resort Ownership, Inc., TMK: 6-9-07: 1
This is to follow up and confirm my discussion with Jeff Darrow of your staff
regazding the subject matter. Based on our discussion, it would appeaz prudent and
consistent with current policy regazding time extension that Condition N be farther
amended by deleting the reference to Condition B. In so doing, the Director would have
the ability to grant an administrative extension for any initial extension request. All
subsequent requests would have to be processed through the Commission and acted upon
by the Council.
Accordingly and if appropriate, we respectfully request that the applicant's
request also reflect the above.
As always, if there are questions or comments on this matter, please feel free to
contact me. Thank you very much for your assistance and understanding.

Upon review of the special use permit request the following comments are submitted:
Portions of this location are in the tsunami inundation and evacuation zone. As a result,
damage may result from a tsunami.
This location is in the lava threat zone 3, and damage from a future lava flow is possible.
There is no emergency warning siren in reasonable proximity to this site, and as a result
residents may not receive timely warning in the event of a pending disaster. Recommend
the developer purchase and install an appropriate emergency warning siren system.

Gentlemen:
Subject: The Bay Club Ownership, Inc.
Time Extension
Change of Zone (REZ 851), TMK : 6-9-7 :1
Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject application.
We do not have any objections to the Time Extension and Change of Zone and have the
following general comments.
1. The subject area is currently served by our 12,000-volt underground distribution lines
from Anaehoomalu Substation, which has adequate capacity to serve the proposed
project.
2. HELCO's current system peak load is 177,900 KW and our total generation system
capability is 233,700 KW. Our reserve margin is 31% and has adequate generation
to serve the project-
3. We strongly recommend that energy efficient and conservation features suitable to
reduce the peak electrical demand are part of the development's plans. We
recommend that this development take full advantage of waste heat recovery
equipment to recycle and reuse the waste heat rejected by air conditioning and
refrigeration equipment. If this equipment is incorporated in the development's
original design, the amount of energy required will be substantially reduced.
4. The project consultants a~+d er~yi~~eers are urged tc GOrBCt I-I~LCO's Engineering
Department as soon as practicable to open a service request to insure timely
procurement of long lead equipment. A remote meter reading option is now
available using the electrical lines as communication medium to a central master
receiver at the substation. This option will require additional equipment in the
HELCO meters and the substation. A cost estimate for this option may be requested
from the Engineering Department.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at (808) 969-0321 or Hal Kamigaki at
(808) 969-0322.

Dear Mr. Yuen:
Subject: Time Extension Requests (SMA 00-015 & Ord. 97 49)
The Bay Club Ownership, Inc., TMK: 6-9-07: 1
Thank you for providing me with a copy of agency comments to date regazding
the subject applications. In response to said comments, please note the following:
a. Civil Defense Aeency
The applicant is aware of the site's proximity to the shoreline and the
attendant threat resulting from tsunami. As such, the applicant intends to
develop a tsunami evacuation plan.
b. HELCO
The project would be designed with energy efficient and conservation
features. These would include the possible use of solar panels, material,
placement of structures to take advantage of wind patterns, landscaping,
and the like.
None of the other agencies had any comments or objections to the extension
request.
We trust that the comments have been adequately addressed. If not or if there are
other questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much.

COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
THE BAY CLUB OWNERSHIP RESORT, INC.
CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 97 49 (REZ NO. 851)
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONS B
Upon review of the request, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable
recommendation of the request to amend Condition B of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97 49
(REZ 851) be forwarded to the County Council. This recommendation does not, however,
sanction the specific plans submitted with the application as they may be subject to change given
the specific code and regulatory requirements of the affected agencies. Since this
recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right
to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public
heazing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following fmdings:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition B (secure Final Plan
Approval) of Ordinance No. 97 49 for an additional five yeazs to secure Final Plan
Approval for a recreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-family dwellings,
pazking area, other related recreational facilities, and associated improvements and
infrastructure on a 9.643-acre coastal pazcel.
Effective Mazch 24, 1997, Ordinance No. 97 49 changed the district classification
of the subject property from Open (O) to Resort-Hotel (V-2a). The applicant requested
the change of zone to construct arecreation/restaurant/office complex and four single-
family dwellings, parking azea, other related recreational facilities, and associated
improvements and infrastructure on a 9.643-acre coastal pazcel. Under Condition B,
Final Plan Approval for the development should have been secured within five yeazs
from the effective date of the change of zone, or March 24, 2002. Although the applicant
secured Final Plan Approval on October 8, 2001, they did not utilize it within the
required two-year period stated within Section 25-2-7, which states:
-1-
c--39iCw~;ii i~3)Pt
Section 25-2-7. Utilization of approvals within two years. Whenever any
permit or approval issued under this chapter, not otherwise conditioned, except for any
amendment ofthis chapter reclassifying a zoning district, has not been utilized within a
period of two years from the date of the written permit or approval, the director shall
initiate proceedings to invalidate the permit or approval. The proceeding to invalidate the
permit or approval shall require written notice to the owner or person who has been
issued the permit or approval prior to either the director or the commission taking action
to invalidate the permit or approval. In the event that an appeal is filed regazding any
permit or approval issued under this chapter, the two-yeaz period provided for under this
section shall not commence to run until a fmal decision is rendered in the appeal.
The inability of the applicant to comply with the requirements of Condition
B of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97 49 is the result of conditions that could not
have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant. There have been global
effects to the local economy, mainly the effects of terrorism that were unforeseen and
were beyond the control of the applicant when the entitlements were initially issued
(1997 and 2000).
The applicant continues to believe that conditions aze changing and greater global
security will be achieved in due time. This optimism has thus motivated the applicant to
expend funds and fulfill as many conditions of the existing entitlements. The applicant
believes that the project could be completed within the next five yeazs.
Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan or
Zoning Code. Since the rezoning was approved for the project site in 1997, there have
been no changes to the General Plan affecting the subject property or immediately
surrounding azea. According to the applicant, all improvements consistent with the
prevailing Zoning Code standazds, such as setback, height, pazking, and landscaping will
be complied with.
Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original reasons
for the granting of the permit. The original reasons for the approval ofthe rezoning aze
still valid today. Accordingly, approval ofthis extension request would not be
inconsistent with the original reasons for approving the rezoning ordinance.
-2-
Based on the above fmdings, it is recommended that a favorable recommendation be
forwazded to the County Council with the following changes to Ordinance No. 97 49. (Material
to be deleted is bracketed and material to be added is underscored):
B. Final Subdivision and/or Plan Approval for the subject property shall be secured within
five (5) years from the effective date of this [change of zone] amendment.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Condition B of Ordinance No. 97 49 is provided for your
favorable consideration.
