North Kona. Hawaii On behalf of Kona Vistas, IBC, we are requesting confirmation of deadlines for fulfilling Honolulu conditions of zoning and SMA approvals for the above-described property. Kona Vistas Guam acquired the property from Gamrex, [nc. in 2006 and is taking over the responsibility of Hong Knnq Philippines fulfilling the various requirements for the project. On January 15, 2007, the company filed the seat(le most recent annual progress report per Condition 7 of SMA Use Permit No. 430, which was Singapore subsequently accepted and forwarded to the County Planning Commission. The property's 7haila"° zoning ordinance has no annual progress report requirement. Although Kona Vistas prepared the latest report, it is still bringing itself up to speed on all the requirements for the project. The company is most concerned that it meets the various deadlines as specified in the zoning and SMA conditions. In particular, Kona Vistas would like to know if there are any due dates that are not specifically stated or apparent in the conditions that the Planning Department is cognizant or knowledgeable of for this project. Conditions A to G of Zoning Ordinance 02-131 relate to general requirements, specific tasks, and essentially the single-family zoned portion of the property. The owner has fulfilled and/or acknowledges these conditions. For Conditions H and I that relate to the multi-family zoned portion of the property, Kona Vistas is cognizant of the deadline to secure final plan approval for the first increment of that development by November 27, 2007. Condition J, which relates to the potential Unified Impact Fees Ordinance, will be addressed when/should that ordinance be adopted.

We believe Conditions L and M have been satisfied, Condition N will be addressed in the multi-family plan to be submitted under Condition H, Conditions O and P have been addressed, and Condition Q is being fulfilled with the soon-to-be submitted drainage plan for the multi-family site (no specific deadline is stated for that condition). The single-family residential portion of the project already has received drainage plan approval. Conditions R and S, relating to archaeological surveys and stop work procedures, have conditional submittal dates but no specific deadlines. The owner has satisfied Condition T and acknowledges Condition U. For the SMA Use Permit, it appears that only Conditions 2 and 7 have specific deadlines. We acknowledge that construction of the drainage improvements is to be completed by May 5, 2008 and that the project's progress reports are to be submitted annually. The other conditions relate to general requirements, tasks to be performed with no specific deadlines, construction methodology, and public notification. As mentioned above, we are requesting the Planning Department to confirm whether there are any other deadlines for the project per Zoning Ordinance 02-131 and SMA Use Permit No. 430. We thank you for your assistance on this matter. Should you have any questions regarding our request, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely yours, BELT COLLINS HAWAII LTD. Glen T.
