The properties are located south of the North Hawaii Community Hospital along the north side of Pukalani Road, Waikoloa, Waimea, South Kohala, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the requests: State Land Use Bounda Amendment The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Urban District for approximately 3.068 acres will not be violative of Section 205-2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will it be inconsistent with the Land Use Hawaii County is an Egual Opportunity Provider and Employer Pete Hoffmann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 Commission Rules, the County General Plan and the Hawaii State Plan. The applicant also requests a concurrent Change of Zone from A-40a (3.137 acres) and ML-20 (.947 acres) to CV-7.5 for approximately 4.084 acres. Under the Land Use Commission Rules, one of the standazds for considering an azea for urban reclassification states that "In determining urban growth for the next ten years, or in amending the boundary, land contiguous with existing urban areas shall be given more consideration than non- contiguous land, and particularly when indicated for future urban use on state or county general plans." The property conforms to this standard as it is situated across from an existing Urban-designated azea to the west, and adjacent to urban-designated property to the east and south. Located near the project site is the North Hawaii Community Hospital and Pazker Ranch Shopping Center. The applicant's request to designate 3.068 acres into the Urban District reflects the infilling of Agricultural lands within this section of Waimea already bordering existing Urban-designated lands. The reclassification action conforms to the goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan by encouraging urban growth primarily to existing urban azeas where adequate public facilities aze available. The reclassification action also conforms to the goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Economic Elements of the General Plan. The LUPAG Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standadds and courses of action. It is also a graphic depiction of the physical relationship between the various land uses and establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The request conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map, which designates this area for Low Density Urban and Medium Density Urban. The Low Density Urban designation includes residential uses, with ancillazy community and public uses and neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses. The Medium Density Urban designation allows village and neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions. The Urban classification conforms to the standazd that the development is within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. The property is situated south of the North Hawaii Community Hospital within close proximity to shopping centers, theaters, protective services, essential utilities and conforms with the Land Use Commission Rules which encourages urban developments in close proximity to existing developments, services and facilities. According to the applicant, the primary access to the project area will be from an existing improved portion of Pukalani Road, and will take advantage of an existing hospital driveway on TMK: 6-7-2: 53. The existing driveway currently provides Pete Hoffmann, Chainnan and Members of the County Council Page 3 secondary access to the hospital (TMK: 6-7-2: 13) from Pukalani Road and has a pavement width of 24 feet which widens to 30 feet plus a 4-foot median at the Pukalani Road intersection. Pukalani Road, owned by Parker Ranch, currently extends south from the Mamalahoa Highway for approximately 1,100 feet and provides primary access to commercial establishments and secondary access to the North Hawaii Community Hospital. According to the applicant, Pazker Ranch has indicated that Pukalani Road will eventually be dedicated to the County. The applicant has executed a grant of easement with Parker Ranch (recorded November 29, 2006) for the use of the roadway (Appendix G). There are no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the property as Zone "X", areas outside of the 500-year flood plain. The property is located approximately 10 miles east of the South Kohala shoreline and 8.5 miles southwest of the Hamakua shoreline. All project generated runoffwill be disposed of on-site, so as not to impact surrounding properties. Thus, the reclassification meets with the standard which states that the lands included within the urban district "....shall be those with satisfactory topography and drainage and reasonably free from the danger of floods, tsunami and unstable soil conditions and other adverse environmental effects." Urban Districts shall include lands chazacterized by "city-like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other related land uses. Surrounding properties are mainly in commercial uses, with some residential and agricultural uses to the south of the project site. Lands to the east and south aze vacant and zoned CV-7.5. The Parker Ranch Shopping Center, located west of the site, is also zoned CV-7.5. The North Hawaii Community Hospital is located north of the site and zoned RS-7.5. Thus, as urban uses already exist in the immediate area, the urbanization of the project site will not contribute towards scattered urban development. While the property is within the State Land Use Agricultural and County's Agricultural (A-Sa) and Limited Industria12Q,000 squaze foot zoned district, it is not currently being used for active agricultural purposes. The project site is undeveloped pasture land and currently vacant. The properties are unclassified by the State Depaztment of Agriculture's Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) Map and the Land Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating. Thus, the reclassification of this 3-acre area from the Agricultural to the Urban designation will not be detrimental to the reduction of this area from the agricultural land inventory in the County. From a land use perspective, it is a more feasible alternative to infill urban Pete Hoffmann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 development within this particular azea of Waimea. In doing so, it would alleviate the conversion of more productive agricultural lands in more appropriate locations within the Waimea area for urban type uses. Furthermore, an Urban classification would complement the existing and future land use patterns of the surrounding properties in view of the commercial uses already in existence proximate to the project area. Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to the Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and County General Plan and is supportive of the Hawaii State Plan. Chance of Zone The applicant requests a Change of Zone from A-40a (3.137 acres) and ML-20 (.947 acres) to CV-7.5 for approximately 4.084 acres of land to construct an approximately 16,800 square foot one to two-story medical office building. The applicant is also requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for approximately 3.068 acres. Proposed uses include doctor's offices and space for other health and wellness service organizations such as the Waimea Women's Center. The project includes a minimum of 56 pazking stalls and landscaping. The new building is expected to have 35 to 40 employees and daily patient traffic of 80 to 120 patients. Hours of operation are expected to be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, with limited operation on Saturdays and Sundays. In order to consider an azea for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar azeas in the County. The proposed request conforms to the goals, policies and standazds of the Land Use (Commercial) and Economic Elements of the General Plan. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The requested Village Commercial zoning is consistent with the LUPAG designation for this azea of Waimea. Pete Hoffinann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 Surrounding uses aze mostly commercial businesses and zoned RS-7.5 and CV- 7.5. The project site is located south of the North Hawaii Community Hospital, in close proximity to the Parker Ranch Shopping Center. Lands to the east and south aze vacant and zoned CV-7.5. The Pazker Ranch Shopping Center, located west of the site, is also zoned CV-7.5. The North Hawaii Community Hospital is located north of the site and zoned RS-7.5. According to the applicant, the primary access to the project area will be from an existing improved portion of Pukalani Road, and will take advantage of an existing hospital driveway on TMK: 6-7-2: 53. The existing driveway currently provides secondary access to the hospital (TMK: 6-7-2: 13) from Pukalani Road and has a pavement width of 24 feet which widens to 30 feet plus a 4-foot median at the Pukalani Road intersection. Pukalani Road, owned by Pazker Ranch, currently extends south from Mamalahoa Highway for approximately 1,100 feet and provides primary access to commercial establishments and secondary access to the hospital. According to the applicant, Pazker Ranch has indicated that Pukalani Road will eventually be dedicated to the County. The applicant has executed a grant of easement with Parker Ranch (recorded November 29, 2006) for the use of the roadway (Appendix G). According to the Department of Water Supply, County water is available from an existing 12-inch waterline within Pukalani Road fronting the project site. Police and fire services are located within''/z mile of the project site in the Waimea Civic Center complex. All utilities aze available to the site. The request would complement a policy of the General Plan in which "Commercial facilities shall be developed in azeas adequately served by necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems....." There is no municipal sewer system in the azea. The existing sewer system, including an offsite Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), is owned by Waimea Wastewater Company. Although the WWTP is in the process of being expanded, it is currently unable to accommodate any additional flow at this time. The expansion is scheduled for completion in January, 2009. The applicant states that upon completion of the expansion, there will be adequate capacity to provide service to the project. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to dispose of wastewater into the Waimea Wastewater Company sewer system. Pete Hoffmann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 6 The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that the azea is located in Zone "X," areas determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. There aze no significant drainage ways that adversely affect the project site. The applicant will be required to comply with all applicable County guidelines for run-off that maybe generated by the project. The applicant has submitted a botanical study as well as an avifaunal and feral mammal survey. Both studies concluded that the proposed project will have no significant negative effects on botanical resources or native habitats. An archaeological plan as well as a cultural impact assessment study was also included in the application. The studies recommended that access to Koki Cemetery, located adjacent to the project site on TMK: 6-7-2: 10, should be included in the design element of the proposed project. The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The site is not proximate to the shoreline and therefore will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access that traverses the project site. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the site and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa'akai O Ka :4ina"decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: Investieation of valued resources: The following information was submitted with the application for the Planning Commission's review: • Archaeological Inventory Survey for the North Hawaii Community Hospital Medical office Park, Puukapu and Waikoloa, South Kohala District, Island of Hawaii, TMK (3) 6-7-002:20 and 6-7-002: 02 portion of 51 by Thomas Wolforth dated February, 2007 (Appendix B) • Cultural Impact Assessment for the North Hawaii Community Hospital Medical Oj~ce Park, Puukapu and Waikoloa Ahupuaa, South Kohala District, Island of Hawaii TMK: (3) 6-7-002: 20 and 6-7-002: O2 portion of SI by Thomas Wolforth dated March, 2007 (Appendix C) Pete Hoffmann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 7 • Botanical Survey, North Hawaii Community Hospital Project (TMKs: 6-7-02: 20 and portion of TMK 6-7-02: 51), by Palmer and Associates Consulting, January 2007 (Appendix D) • Avifaunal and Feral Mammal Survey for TMK: 6-7-002: 20, portion of 51, North Hawaii Community Hospital, Waimea, Island of Hawaii, by Phillip L. Bruner dated January 10, 2007 (Appendix E) The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area: An archaeological study, cultural impact assessment study, as well as flora/fauna studies were conducted of the site and surrounding area. No endangered species of flora or fauna, or significant historical sites were discovered in the project area. The azchaeological and cultural study, however, recommended that access to Koki Cemetery adjacent to the project site continue to be provided. Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Established standards and controls to manage potential negative effects should effectively limit and mitigate foreseeable long-term impacts. Native plants could be destroyed by construction and ground alteration. The property does not abut the shoreline, therefore Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights is not an issue. Based on the above findings, the request to reclassify the site from an A-40a and ML-20 to a CV-7.5 zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, amendments to State Land Use Boundary Maps and Section 25-8-11 (Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map), of the County Zoning Code are transmitted.

This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant requests a Change of Zone from A-40a (3.137 acres) and ML-20 (.947 acres) to CV-7.5 for approximately 4.084 acres of land to construct an approximately 16,800 squae foot one to two-story medical office building. The applicant is also requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for approximately 3.068 acres. Proposed uses include doctor's offices and space for other health and wellness service organizations such as the Waimea Women's Center. The project includes a minimum of 56 parking stalls and landscaping. The new building is expected to have 35 to 40 employees and daily patient traffic of 80 to 120 patients. Hours of operation are expected to be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, with limited operation on Saturdays and Sundays. In order to consider an azea for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similaz azeas in the County. The proposed request conforms to the goals, policies and standazds of the Land Use (Commercial) and Economic Elements of the General Plan. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The requested Village Commercial zoning is consistent with the LUPAG designation for this azea of Waimea. Surrounding uses aze mostly commercial businesses and zoned RS-7.5 and CV- 7.5. The project site is located south of the North Hawaii Community Hospital, in close proximity to the Pazker Ranch Shopping Center. Lands to the east and south are vacant and zoned CV-7.5. The Pazker Ranch Shopping Center, located west of the site, is also zoned CV-7.5. The North Hawaii Community Hospital is located north of the site and zoned RS-7.5. According to the applicant, the primary access to the project area will be from an existing improved portion of Pukalani Road, and will take advantage of an existing hospital driveway on TMK: 6-7-2: 53. The existing driveway currently provides secondary access to the hospital (TMK: 6-7-2: 13) from Pukalani Road and has a pavement width of 24 feet which widens to 30 feet plus a 4-foot median at the Pukalani Road intersection. Pukalani Road, owned by Pazker Ranch, currently extends south from Mamalahoa Highway for approximately 1,100 feet and provides primary access to commercial establishments and secondary access to the hospital. According to the applicant, Pazker Ranch has indicated that Pukalani Road will eventually be dedicated to the County. The applicant has executed a grant of easement with Pazker Ranch (recorded November 29, 2006) for the use of the roadway (Appendix G). According to the Department of Water Supply, County water is available from an existing 12-inch waterline within Pukalani Road fronting the project site. Police and fire services aze located within'/z mile of the project site in the Waimea Civic Center complex. All utilities are available to the site. The request would complement a policy of the General Plan in which "Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems....." There is no municipal sewer system in the area. The existing sewer system, -2- including an offsite Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), is owned by Waimea Wastewater Company. Although the WWTP is in the process of being expanded, it is currently unable to accommodate any additional flow at this time. The expansion is scheduled for completion in January, 2009. The applicant states that upon completion of the expansion, there will be adequate capacity to provide service to the project. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to dispose of wastewater into the Waimea Wastewater Company sewer system. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIltM) indicate that the area is located in Zone "X," areas determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. There are no significant drainage ways that adversely affect the project site. The applicant will be required to comply with all applicable County guidelines for nm-off that maybe generated by the project. The applicam has submitted a botanical study as well as an avifaunal and feral mammal survey. Both studies concluded that the proposed project will have no significant negative effects on botanical resources or native habitats. An archaeological plan as well as a cultural impact assessment study was also included in the application. The studies recommended that access to Koki Cemetery, located adjacent to the project site on TMK: 6-7-2: 10, should be included in the design element of the proposed project. The suhject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The site is not proximate to the shoreline and therefore will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access that traverses the project site. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the site and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the azea. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa'akai O Ka'Aina"decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights -3- must be addressed in terms of the cultwal, historical, and natwal resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: Investigation of valued resources: The following information was submitted with the application for the Planning Commission's review: • Archaeological Inventory Survey for the North Hawaii Community Hospital Medical o,~ce Park, Puukapu and Waikoloa, South Kohala District, Island of Hawaii, TiY1K (3) 6-7-002:20 and 6-7-002: 02 portion of Sl by Thomas Wolforth dated February, 2007 (Appendix B) • Cultural Impact Assessment for the North Hawaii Community Hospital Medical Office Park, Puukapu and Waikoloa Ahupuaa, South Kohala District, Island of Hawaii 711~IK• (3) 6-7-002: 20 and 6-7-002: 02 portion of 51 by Thomas Wolforth dated March, 2007 (Appendix C) • Botanical Survey, North Hawaii Community Hospital Project (Tips: 6-7-02: 20 and portion of TMK 6-7-02: 51), by Palmer and Associates Consulting, January 2007 (Appendix D) • Avifaunal and Feral Mammal Survey for TMK: 6-7-002: 20, portion of 51, North Hawaii Community Hospital, Waimea, Island of Hawaii, by Phillip L. Bruner dated January 10, 2007 (Appendix E) The valuable cultural historical. and natwal resowces found in the rezoning area: An archaeological study, cultural impact assessment study, as well as flora/fauna studies were conducted of the site and surrounding area. No endangered species of flora or fauna, or significant historical sites were discovered in the project area. The azchaeological and cultwal study, however, recommended that access to Koki Cemetery adjacent to the project site continue to be provided. Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resowces: Established standazds and controls to manage potential negative effects should effectively limit and mitigate foreseeable long-term impacts. Native plants could be destroyed by construction and ground alteration. The property does not abut the shoreline, therefore Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights is not an issue. -4- Based on the above findings, the request to reclassify the site from an A-40a and ML-20 to a CV-7.5 caned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further benefit the general public. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-I I (Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. -5- C1Y}iCfIREZ.doc-8/22/07 NORTH HAWAII COMMUNITY HOSPTI'AL CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 07-000068) CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL A.

ORIGINAL: Agent COPIES: Applicant /Landowner (See Instructions on Reverse Side) EXHIBIT Background Information on Subject Request A. Detailed written description of the proposed request and a statement of objectives and reason for the request. Project Description On behalf of North Hawaii Community Hospital ("Landowner" and "Pefitioner", NHCH), Belt Collins Hawaii ("Agent") is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for an undeveloped 3.068-acre site in Waimea in the South Kohala District on the island of Hawaii. The site is situated on a portion of TMK 6-7-002: 20. Figures A and B attached provide anisland-wide Location and TMK map showing the subject project azea. This application proposes to change 3.068 acres from the State's Agriculture Land Use District to the Urban Land Use District. Figures C and D attached depict the existing and proposed State Land Use Districts for the project azea. With regazds to the Hawaii County General Plan and based on its Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map, the subject azea has been identified for future Low Density Urban and Medium Density Urban uses. The attached Figure E depicts the General Plan's LUPAG map for the subject azea. The site is a portion of TMK 6-7-002:20, which fronts onto Pukulani Road. This site is contiguous with other lands owned by NHCH, and is situated to the south of the existing hospital (TMK 6-7-02:13). It is in close proximity to Mamalahoa Highway (connected byway of Pukulani Road) and the Pazker Ranch Shopping Center. The project area is undeveloped and is proposed for the development of an approximate 16,800 sf medical office building, which would include doctors' offices and space for other health and wellness service organizations, such as the Waimea Women's Center. Development would be concentrated in areas closest to Pukulani Road. Access to the project area would be from an existing 24' wide paved driveway that presently leads from Pukulani Road to the existing NHCH hospital. Pukulani Road is a private road lot owned by Parker Ranch, and on which NHCH has access rights (a record of the easement agreements granting NHCH rights to Pukulani Road were attached in Appendix G of the Background and County Environrnental Report from the eazlier Change of Zone Application submitted on May 15, 2007 by Belt Collins Hawaii for NHCH). The attached Figure F depicts a preliminary site plan of the proposed project. Statement of Obiectives and Reasons for Request NHCH is proceeding with this State Land Use Boundary Amendment application to allow for the development of a medical office building, in areas where basic infrastructure is available and easily accessible, including roads and driveways. This application coincides with a concurrent application to Hawaii County for a Change of Zone Application for TMK 6-7-02: 20 &por 51, totaling 4.084-acres. This Change of Zone application, submitted on May 15, 2007, proposes to rezone 0.947-acres of Limited Industrial (ML-20) land and 3.137-acres of Agriculturally zoned (A-40a) land to the County Village-Commercial (CV-7.5) zoning districts. The 3.068-acre area that is the subject of this State Land Use Boundary Amendment application represents a portion of the County agriculturally-zoned lands. The balance of these lands are already in the State's Urban Land Use District. Both of these applications would bring their respective areas into conformance with the State Land Use Districts and County Zoning Districts for the surrounding area. Items (B) through (L) requested as part of the background information for the application are as submitted with the Background and County Environmental Report attached to the May 15, 2007 Change of Zone Application for TMK 6-7-2: 20 &por 51. These items include: (B) descriptions; (C) State/County Plans; (D) surrounding zoning and land uses; (E) FIRM designation; (F) Archaeological Resources; (G) Floral and Faunal Resources; (H) Valued Cultural Resources; (I) Public Access; (J) Description of Accesses; (K) Traffic Impacts-Assessments; and (L) Availability of Utilities. m2006 Belt Collins Hawaii Ltd. 2006.33.1300/OOJ-1 d10.1B 06 3 ~ P a c l/ i c O c e a n Kauai Niihau Oahu Molokai Upolu Pointe ~ ~ui HAWK Lanai O ~ II Kahoolawe Hawaii °h ~o ~u3 6 9 S. poi- 4y ~ KAWAIHAE HONOKAA STATE OF HAWAII 1 ~ ~ L' ~ ti PAAUIIo Kawaihae Rla d WAIME pro ect Kgwaihae Bay AUPAHOEHOE Lo lion / /WAIKOLOA / ~ Kihala Bay c~ ` j / / r- HONOMU Kaa~o~x ,pl9hwaY ~~o akaAahoa ~ ~ ~ ~ PAPAIKOU M Hilo Bay Keahole / Airport ~ HILO Saddle RI ad \ j % KAILUA-KONA' / / KEAAU / KURTISTOWN ~ - See KEAUHOU / / enlarged map \ _ MOUNTAIN VIEW • CAPTAIN COOK) / PAHOA /(l Kealakekua Bay \ \ / HONAUNAU r''~ ~ / KALAPANA r j o~Q v R~' / PAHALA L / J / / NAALEHU L~ P a c i f i c O c e a n ~J South PO(nt Figure A ® LOCATION MAP 0 3 6 12 State Land Use Boundary Amendment Application ~ North Hawaii Community Hospital BcItCOBmS NORTH SCALE IN MILES May 2007 Mamalahoa Highway T ~ SEG 3 , P(AT M y 3. ~ - az 9 ` M. ~ s " NAT ~ ~ imnr~,e~ • North Hawaii Community t ,n.. - ?9 . ~ ~ i y Hospital ~ .w e.

(3) The impact of the proposed reclassification on the following nreas of state concern: (A) Preservation or maintenance of important natural systems or habitats; The project site is neither a known habitat for threatened or endangered plant species, nor is it a known habitat for threatened or endangered species of birds or mammals. • These are discussed under the Natural Resources section (pg. 12) of the Background and County Environmental Report, submitted on May 15, 2007 in conjunction with a Change of Zone Application for the same project area. Botanical and Avifauna] and Feral Mammal Surveys are included in the Background and County Environmental Report and were attached in Appendix D and Appendix E, respectively. (B) Maintenance of valued cultural, historical, or natural resources; ¦ No significant archaeological resources have been identified on the project site. ¦ No Traditional Cultural Properties or cultural practices have been identified on the project site. ¦ No historic sites have been identified on the project site. • These are discussed under the Historic Resources (pg. 10) and the Valued Cultural Resources sections (pg. 13) of the Background and County Environmental Report, submitted on May 15, 2007 in conjunction with a Change of Zone Application for the same project area. An Archaeological Inventory Survey and Cultural Impact Assessment are included in the Background and County Environmental Report and were attached as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively. (C) Maintenance of other natural resources relevant to Hawaii's economy, including agricultural resources; ¦ The proposed project is not expected to impact other natural resources relevant to Hawaii's economy, including agricultural resources, as project site is not currently or previously used for active agriculture cultivation. The site is not situated within any areas of agricultural importance per the Agricultural Lands of Importance in the State of Hawaii map (ALISH). The ALISH map designates the site as "built up". The site is an agriculturally-zoned remnant within the middle of a larger area that is proposed for future development, as evidenced by the prevailing State Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 2 S[andazds of Review Bel[ Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundary Amendment {15 acres or less) Urban Land Use District and County Village Commercial zoning of lands surrounding the project site. (D) Commitment of state funds and resources; ¦ The proposed project does no[ require any commitment of State funds and resources. (E) Provision for employment opportunities and economic development; and ¦ NHCH has identified a shortage of suitable medical office space in the Waimea area for doctors' offices. To allow for the continued growth of I~ medical services and to attract doctors to this rural region, the proposed project would make space available for doctor's offices, and other health and wellness services, such as the Waimea Women's Center (currently situated 1 mile from the project site and proposed to be relocated to the NHCH campus, and possibly within the project azea). This would allow continued employment opportunities for doctors, health and wellness service providers, and related supporting administrative and technical staff. (F) Provision for housing opportunities for all income groups, particularly the low, low-moderate, and gap groups; • While the proposed project does not specifically propose additional housing, the project will provide additional opportunities to improve access to medical services for surrounding residential communities. 1 (4) The representations and commitments made by the petitioner in securing a boundary change; • NHCH is seeking the proposed action in order to bring this remnant area into conformance with [he prevailing State Land Use and County Zoning for the area, f and to allow development to proceed in areas of available infrastructure and in l close proximity to existing hospital services.

The ALISH map designates the site as "built up". The site is an agriculturally-zoned remnant within the middle of a larger area that is proposed for future development, as evidenced by the prevailing State Urban Land Use District and County Village Commercial zoning of lands surrounding the project site. (D) Commitment of state funds and resources; • The proposed project does not require any commitment of State funds and resources. (E) Provision for employment opportunities and economic development; and • NHCH has identified a shortage of suitable medical office space in the Waimea azea for doctors' offices. To allow for the continued growth of medical services and to attract doctors to this rural region, the proposed project would make space available for doctor's offices, and other health and wellness services, such as the Waimea Women's Center (currently situated 1 mile from the project site and proposed to be relocated to the NHCH campus, and possibly within the project azea). This would allow continued employment opportunities for doctors, health and wellness service providers, and related supporting administrative and technical 1 staff. (F) Provision for housing opportunities for all income groups, particularly the low, low-moderate, and gap groups; • While the proposed project does not specifically propose additional housing, the project will provide additional opportunities to improve access to medical services for surrounding residential communities. (4) In establishing the boundaries of the districts in each county, the commission shall give consideration to the general plan of the county in which the land is located; • The proposed project is consistent with the Hawaii County Genera] Plan as discussed later in this document. The County's General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates a majority of the project area as being within the Low Density Urban zone, with portions of the site closest to Pukulani Road designated for Medium Density Urban. • Desired uses within the Low Density Urban azea include "residential, with ancillazy community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience- 'i type commercial uses", while Medium Density Urban includes "village and neighborhood commercial"-type uses. (5) The representations and commitments made by the petitioner in securing a boundary change, including a finding that the petitioner has the necessary economic ability to carry out the representations and commitments relating to the proposed use or development; and Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 5 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundary Amendment (15 acres or less) ¦ NHCH relies heavily on outside sources of funding for development, including, but not limited to, gifts, grants, third party development agreements, debt/bond financing, etc. NHCH is in the process of securing funds and development agreements to proceed with the project. NHCH's operating revenues typically only generate sufficient income to cover operating costs, including costs to maintain its facilities. ¦ NHCH is motivated to pursue the boundary amendment application for the project area as it represents available lands that are directly accessible to available infrastructure, including roads, driveways, and utilities, and thus, most ready for development. (6) Lands in intensive agricultural use for two years prior to date of filing of a petition or lands with a high capacity for intensive agricultural use shall not be taken out of the agricultural district unless the commission finds either that the action: (A) Will not substantially impair actual or potential agricultural production in the vicinity of the subject property or in the county or State; or (B) Is reasonably necessary for urban growth. • The project area has neither been used for intensive agricultural use for the two years prior to the Filing of this petition nor has it been identified as important Ag lands. • The project azea is reasonably necessary for urban growth as it is a remnant azea in the middle of a large area of Waimea approved for future urban development, and in areas where infrastructure exists to support development. (c) Amendments of a land use district boundary in conservation districts involving land areas fifteen acres or less shall be determined by the commission pursuant to this subsection and section 205-3.1, HRS. ¦ The project area is not within the conservation district. (d) Amendments of land use district boundary in other than conservation districts involving land areas fifteen acres or less shall be determined by the appropriate county land use decision-making authority for the district. • The area proposed within the subject State Land Use Boundary Amendment application is 3.068 acres and is being submitted to Hawaii County for approval. (e) Amendments of a land use district boundary involving land areas greater than fifteen acres shall be determined by the commission, pursuant to this subsection and section 205-3.1, HRS. • Not applicable. Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 6 Standards of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) HAWAII STATE PLAN, CHAPTER 226, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES The Hawaii State Plan (Chapter 226, HRS) establishes a set of goals, objectives, and policies that serve as long-range guidelines for the growth and development of the State. The Plan is divided into three parts: Part I (Overall Theme, Goals, Objectives, and Policies); Part II (Planning, Coordination, and Implementation); and Part ]II (Priority Guidelines. The sections of the Hawaii State Plan directly applicable to the proposed project, along with a discussion of how the proposed project conforms to the State Plan are included below: PART I Overall Theme, Goals, Objectives, and Policies §226-4 State Goals (1) A strong, viable economy, characterized by stability, diversity, and growth, that enables the fulfillment of the needs and expectations of Hawaii's present and future generations. • The proposed boundary amendment would facilitate NHCH's proposed development of a medical office building, and possibly a more permanent home for the Waimea Women's Center, thus increasing employment opportunities for North Hawaii residents. By continuing to grow medical services in the area, the proposed project would further develop the health and wellness industry in the region, and further diversify the economic base for the island of Hawaii. Growth of medical services and the health and wellness industry would complement other economic activities in Waimea and the South Kohala district including tourism, services, agriculture, cattle ranching, public and private educational institutions, and scientific research (associated with observatories located on Mauna Kea). (2) A desired physical environment, characterized by beauty, cleanliness, quiet, stable natural systems, and uniqueness, that enhances the mental and physical well-being of the people. • In its planning for its lands, NHCH is committed to maintaining the rural character of Waimea, by developing low-density one- and two-story structures along available roads, maintaining open space/pastures and existing vegetation in interior portions of its lands, and ensuring views to the Kohala Mountains and to Mauna Kea from within its campus. Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS ~ Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) (3) Physical, social, and economic well-being, for individuals and families in Hawaii, that nourishes a sense of community responsibility, of caring, and of participation in community life. • The proposed project would provide additional medical services to the growing residential communities in Waimea and the South Kohala region, thereby supporting the physical and social well-being of individuals and families within the community. The project is a critical initiative on the part of NHCH to continue attracting qualified doctors to work and live in the Waimea area. • The vision statement for NHCH, and by extension its motivation to proceed with the medical office building/Waimea Women's Center project, focuses on treating "...the whole individual-body, mind and spirit- through ateam approach to patient-centered care, and ultimately to become the most healing hospital in the world." • The mission of NHCH, and by extension its motivation to proceed with the medical office building/Waimea Women's Center project, focuses on improving the "health status of the people of North Hawaii by improving access to care and providing high quality services at a reasonable cost" Specific objectives, policies, and priority directions of the State Plan most relevant to the project are listed and discussed below. §226-5 Objective and Policies for Population Objectives It shall be the objective in planning for the State's population to guide population growth to be consistent with the achievement of physical, economic, and social objectives contained in this chapter. Policies (1) Manage population growth statewide in a manner that provides increased opportunities for Hawaii's people to pursue their physical, social, and economic aspirations while recognizing the unique needs of each county. (2) Encourage an increase in economic activities and employment opportunities on the neighbor islands consistent with community needs and desires. (3) Promote increased opportunities for Hawaii's people to pursue their socio- economic aspirations throughout the islands. • The proposed medical office building project is intended to allow NHCH to grow available medical services to support the continued growth of Waimea, and to better recruit and retain doctors' in the Waimea area. NHCH has identified a shortage of suitable medical office space as a significant disincentive for new doctors to practice in the Waimea area. Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS $ Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) • The South Kohala region is anticipating significant population growth, with the population expected to increase from 13,131 as of the 2000 census, to over 24,400 by 2020. ¦ Waimea is one of two primary population centers in the South Kohala District (the other being Waikoloa). In the 1990's, Parker Ranch received land use approvals for expansion of the Waimea Town Center area, including upwards of 220 acres for future single family and multi-family uses, ultimately yielding upwazds of an estimated 580 new residential units. Within this future expansion area, recent residential developments include the 44-unit Holoholo Ku residential development on commercially zoned land, and an initial increment of 49-unit single family residential units at Lualei by Schuler Homes. These residential projects have been oriented to the primary market. §226-6 Objectives and Policies for the Economy - in General Objectives (1) Increased and diversified employment opportunities to achieve full employment, increased income and job choice, and improved living standards for Hawaii's people. (2) A steadily growing and diversified economic base that is not overly dependent 1 on a few industries, and includes the development and expansion of industries on the neighbor islands. Policies (6) Strive to achieve a level of construction activity responsive to, and consistent with, state growth objectives. (9) Foster greater cooperation and coordination between the government and private sectors in developing Hawaii's employment and economic growth opportanities. (13) Encourage businesses that have favorable financial multiplier effects within Hawaii's economy.

The project area is situated within the center of an area that was earlier reclassified to the State's Urban Land Use District and the County's Village Commercial Zoning District in the 1990's and areas designated for the growth of Waimea's Town Center. Chapter ZOS & 205A, HRS 16 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundary Amendment (15 acres or less) (2) Make available marginal or nonessential agricultural lands for appropriate urban uses while maintaining agricultural lands of importance in the agricultural district. ¦ The subject property does not include lands identified as important agriculture lands, and have not recently been used for active agriculture cultivation. ¦ The project site is a remnant State Agriculture land that is now surrounded by lands that have been approved for future urban development, including lands classified within the State Urban Land Use District and the County Village-Commercial Zoning District. I HAWAII STATE FUNCTIONAL PLANS The Hawaii State Plan directs State agencies to prepare functional plans for their 1 respective program areas. There are thirteen (I3) state functional plans that serve as the primary implementing vehicle for the goals, objectives, and policies of the Hawaii State Plan. These thirteen plans include Agriculture, Conservation Lands, Education, 1 Employment, Energy, Health, Higher Education, Housing, Human Services, Recreation, Tourism, and Transportation. While the State Plan establishes long-term objectives, the State Function Plans serve to establish objectives for shorter term actions. 1 Applicable Functional Plans to the proposed project include are discussed below: Agriculture The Agriculture Functional Plan seeks to increase the overall level of agricultural development in Hawaii, in accordance with two fundamental Hawaii State Plan objectives for agriculture, namely: 1) continued viability in the sugar and pineapple l industries, and 2) continued growth and development of diversified crops and products. ¦ The proposed boundary amendment involves a remnant area of agriculturally- ~ zoned land and does not affect any existing or recent agricultural activities in Waimea. The project area is situated within the middle of areas approved for ~ future urban development. To the west of the site lies existing commercial and institutional development along the Mamalahoa Highway corridor, and to the east are lands approved for future commercial and residential uses as part of Waimea Town Center plan. • By containing and concentrating urban development within the Waimea Town Center area, surrounding agricultural and ranching lands can be better preserved for long-term viable agricultural uses. Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS l~ Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital Stale Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) Conservation Lands The Conservation Lands Functional Plan addresses the impacts of population growth and economic development on Hawaii's natural environment and provides a framework for the protection and preservation of pristine lands and shore lands. The objective of the plan is to provide for a management program allowing for the judicious use of the State's natural resources balanced with the need to protect these resources to varying degrees. While the State is primarily responsible to provide the management of conservation areas, the counties play a key role in directing urban and agricultural activities and in retaining open space and cultural sites as lands become urbanized. • The proposed boundary amendment would not have a detrimental effect on the natural environment as it proposes future development in the existing Waimea Town Center azea. This area has been previously planned for future urban growth, as evidenced by surrounding lands in the State's Urban Land Use District and the County Village-Commercial and residential zoning districts, and by the County's General Plan LUPAG map, which designates the area for Low grid Medium Density Urban uses. Education The objectives of the State's Education Functional Plan reflect the Department of Education's (DOE) strategy to address the goals, policies, and priority guidelines of the Planning Act and the goals of the Board of Education (BOE). The plan outlines actions to be taken by the DOE to improve the public school system and to attend to various societal needs and trends. ¦ Not applicable to the proposed project. Employment The State's Employment Functional Plan focuses on preparation of the Hawaii's workforce for the global, information-based twenty-first century economy. It's objectives, policies, and implementing actions address four major issue areas: (1) education and preparation services for employment; (2) job placement; (3) quality of work life; and (4) employment planning information and coordination. • The proposed project would allow for the continued growth of medical services and the health and wellness industry in the Waimea area. Related employment opportunities for the project would include doctors, health and wellness service providers, and related administrative and technical-support staff. As one of the lazgest employers in the Waimea azea, NHCH and the proposed doctors' offices and service organizations that would be part of the proposed medical office project, would support the continued development of medical and health and wellness-related job skills for employees. These would be on-the-job skills opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to provide in a strictly academic setting. Energy Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 18 Standards of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) The State Energy Functional Plan sought to (1) support the commercialization of Hawaii's alternative energy resources, (2) implement a wide range of energy conservation and efficiency technologies; (3) prepare for disruptions in the energy supply; and (4) reduce the State's dependence on imported fossil fuels. ¦ NHCH has instituted, and will continue to encourage, efforts to moderate growth in energy demand by instituting programs that encourage conservation and energy efficiency into the design and operations of its facilities. NHCH will continue to incorporate sustainable design principles into its project, such as providing daylight within its facilities, use of indigenous plant materials, and having an integrated interior and exterior pedestrian network throughout its entire campus. j Health The State's Health Functional Plan focuses on four major priority issues, inclu ing: preventive health care; (2) access to health care; (3) environmental protection; and (4) upgrading administrative and leadership capabilities. • The proposed project would provide additional space for doctors' offices and health and wellness service providers. These efforts would increase access to health care for the community by making available more services and potentially a wider range of health and wellness services. By increasing access to health i care, the community would have greater opportunities to access health and medical services on a preventive basis. + NHCH recognizes that the natural beauty of the Waimea region, including its ii rural character, its pastures and landscape, and the surrounding mountains, are part of the holistic healing environment for its campus. In developing its lands, NHCH is emphasizing retention of open space and natural vegetation, as well as low-density development. By providing space for more doctors' offices, and other health and wellness i service providers, NHCH is making available more opportunities for employees ~ to take on greater administrative and leadership roles. J Higher Education i The objectives of the State Higher Education Functional Plan are to provide (1) a number of diverse postsecondary education institutions; (2) quality educational, research, and public services programs; (3) appropriate opportunities for all who can benefit; (4) financing to ensure accessibility; and (5) coordination of educational resources. ~ Not applicable Historic Preservation The long-term philosophy of the State's Historic Preservation Functional Plan highlights the importance of maintaining a record of Hawaii's unique history. The Historic Preservation Functional Plan focuses on three main issue areas, including: (1) Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 19 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) preservation of historic properties; (2) collection and preservation of historic records, artifacts and oral histories; and (3) provision of public information and education on the ethnic and cultural heritages and history of Hawaii. ¦ Based on the an archaeological inventory survey and cultural impact assessment prepared by Tom Wolforth of Scientific Consultant Services, Inc (SCSI) in February and March of 2007, no significant archaeological sites were found within the project site. No negative impacts to cultural practices are anticipated with the project site as no cultural practices and no Traditional Cultural Properties were found on the project site. The project site does not contain any known historic sites. ¦ NHCH and its developers and contractors will comply with all laws and rules regarding the preservation of archaeological, cultural and historic sites should any sites be found during construction. Housing The State's Housing Functional Plan identifies a need to develop affordable housing throughout the State, and addresses major areas of concern, including: (I) increasing homeownership; (2) expanding rental housing opportunities; (3) expanding rental opportunities for the elderly and other special need groups; (4) preserving housing stock; (5) designating and acquiring land that is suitable for residential development; and (6J establishing and maintaining a housing information system. • While NHCH focuses its limited financial resources on its health and wellness mission, it is considering as part of its long-term planning for its lands, opportunities to provide transitional staff housing. NHCH recognizes the need for transitional staff housing to temporarily accommodate newly recruited staff relocating to North Hawaii, as well as shift staff that work for extended periods of time at its hospital. No detailed plans or timetables exist at this time to proceed with these opportunities due to financial constraints. • By providing additional health and wellness services, and increasing access to medical services in the Waimea Town Center area, the proposed project may make residential development opportunities more attractive on nearby undeveloped residentially-zoned lands. Human Services Priority issues for the State's Human Services Functional Plan include: (1) elderly care; (2) children and family support; (3) self sufficiency, and (4) improved delivery of human services. ¦ Creating additional space for doctors and service providers supports NHCH's efforts to fulfill its Mission, Vision, Quality, and Values. The proposed project supports NHCH's Vision statement which reads "to treat the whole individual - body, mind, and spirit - through a team approach to patient-centered care, and ultimately to become the most healing hospital in the world, and its Values Chapter 205 & 205A, HRS 20 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) statement which reads "As `Ghana, we value an environment of Aloha which nurtures trust, respect, self-expression, open minds and hearts",. Recreation The State's Recreation Functional Plan outlines the public and private sector's roles in serving the recreation and open space needs of the public. It focuses on six issue areas, including: (1) ocean and shoreline recreation; (2) mauka, urban, and other recreation; (3) public access to the shoreline and upland recreation areas; (4) resource conservation and management; (5) management of recreation programs and facilities; and (6) I wetlands protection and management. • As part of its long-range planning efforts, NHCH is proposing to maintain ~ significant interior portions of its lands in open space to preserve the rural ~ character of its lands, and to ensure viewplanes from the hospital and future development to surrounding mountains, including Mauna Kea. • As part of its campus and the project area, NHCH will provide an integrated network of pedestrian paths, linking different parts of its campus and to surrounding streets. Tourism I The State's Tourism Functional Plan focuses on six issues, including: (I) the positive and negative impacts of tourism growth on the community; (2) physical development in terms of product quality, product diversity, land use planning, adequate infrastructure, and visitor use of public services; (3) environmental resources and cultural heritage; (4) community, visitor, and industry relations; (S) employment and career development; and (6) effective marketing. The Plan seeks primarily to strengthen tourism, while developing other industries to diversify the State's economic base. ¦ NHCH supports both a resident and visitor patient base. • By providing greater opportunities for the health and wellness industry to grow, the proposed project will continue to reinforce Hawaii's attractiveness as a healthy lifestyle tourism destination, both in terms of its natural beauty, its nature- oriented recreation opportunities, and the availability of exemplary medical and health and wellness services. Transportation The State's Transportation Functional Plan identified four key issue areas of concern including congestion, economic development, funding, and education, and thus sought to: ' (1) construct facility and infrastructure improvements in support of Hawaii's thriving ~ economy and growing population base; (2) develop a transportation system balanced with an array of new alternatives; (3) implement Transportation Systems Management to maximize the use of existing facilities and systems; (4) foster innovation and use of new technology in transportation; (5) maximize joint efforts with the private sector; (6) pursue land use initiatives which help reduce travel demand; and (7) encourage resident Cha ter 205 & 205A, HRS p 21 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) quality-of--life improvements through improved mobility opportunities and travel reduction. The proposed project co-locates doctors' offices and health and wellness service providers, such as the Waimea Women's Center, on the same campus with the existing NHCH hospital. All of these functions would be linked internally by internal driveways and pedestrian paths. To some extent, congestion in the Waimea Town Center area maybe relieved as some of these providers and offices are presently spread throughout the existing town center area, connected primarily by the areas primary roads. • These services would further be located directly across from, and within easy walking distance to, the existing Parker Ranch Shopping Center, where markets, pharmacies, post office, banks, coffee shops, and other commercial services are currently situated. Patients and staff would be able to travel between the project area and these services by walking, or by vehicles without having to travel onto Mamalahoa Highway,.

The adjoining roads lead to other commercial services in the Waimea Town Center, including future planned commercial and residential developments. Hawaii County General Plan 33 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) Land Use :Overview The General Plan's Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map serves as a guide for the direction of future developments, and indicates the general location of various land uses itt relation to each other. The project area includes the Low Density Urban and Medium Density Urban land use designations, which in turn are described within the General Plan as follows: Low Density Urban: residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses; overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. A majority of the project area is situated within this area. Medium Density Urban: village and neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions (multiple family residential up to 35 units per acre). While this area constitutes a small portion of the site, it does coincide with areas closest to Pukulani Road, where development would be concentrated. Goals (a) Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. Policies (a) Zone urban- types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. (b) Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and use of urban areas that are serviced by basic community facilities and utilities. (c) Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. (fj Encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. (j) Encourage urban development within existing zoned areas already served by basic infrastructure, or close to such areas, instead of scattered development. Courses of Action (a) The establishment of Waimea as a regional commercial center for northern Hawaii shall be encouraged. (b) Establish controls to insure orderly development and minimize speculation of commercially zoned lands. (c) Continue the concentration of commercial uses in Waimea, Kawaihae, Waikoloa Village, and in the resort areas. Do not allow strip or spot commercial development on highways outside of these primary commercial areas. Hawaii County General Plan 34 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundary Amendment (15 acres or less) i • The proposed project is situated in the midst of existing State Urban and County Village Commercial-zoned lands within the Waimea Town Center area, and in direct proximity to available existing infrastructure including roads, paved driveways and utilities. • The proposed project abuts existing commercial and institutional development along Mamalahoa Highway to the west and future planned commercial and residential development to the east. • Expanding medical and health and wellness services in the azea complements existing institutional (e.g., hospital, post office, etc.) and commercial services (e.g., markets/pharmacies, banks, restaurants, coffee houses, offices, etc.) in the Waimea Town Center area. WEST HAWAII REGIONAL PLAN The West Hawaii Regional Plan was developed by the Office of State Planning in 1989. While the region extends from North Kohala to Kau, the planning area focuses on geographic locations where most of the proposed changes in land use and demands for public services are anticipated. The State intended for the West Hawaii Regional Plan to complement the County of Hawaii's General Plan and formulated the plan to: (1) coordinate State Activities in West Hawaii and respond effectively to emerging needs and critical problems; (2) address areas of State concern; (3) coordinate the Capital Improvements Program; and (4) provide guidance in the State land use decision-making process. Vision elements from the Regional Plan that are applicable to the proposed project include: -Plan and maximize benefits for Hawaii's people -Promote a diversified economic base which maximizes job choice and opportunities. -Ensure access to, and adequacy of health, education, job-training, and human service programs. -Minimize adverse impact of new development on local lifestyles, historic and cultural resources and community values. -Support urban developments that maintain the unique character of the West Hawaii region. -Develop only within infrastructure capacities and constraints. -Ensure that development does not lead to deterioration in the quality of life. ¦ As discussed elsewhere in this document, the proposed project is consistent with these aspects of the Regional Plan's Vision for West Hawaii. Hawaii County General Plan 35 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) Government Services and Human Resources Programs :Health Services The way in which these goals manifest themselves into land use patterns, public funding, and implementation is the heart of this plan. The plan combines a commitment to long- term benefits while attending to current immediate problems. Health care is one area where the private sector has a dominant role in providing a wide range of services. The proposed development and rapid population growth is expected to result in an overall increase in number of health care problems of the elderly and the children and youth of families. Increased health risk factors relating to rapid changes in the environment, crowding and changes in lifestyle can also be expected as West Hawaii is further developed and settled. The growing demand on limited health resources will increase existing problems involving shortages of health care workers and professionals, and the accessibility of health care services. The Regional Plan calls for expanding health facilities and programs in coordination with other human services, and to increase the availability of these services in concert with increasing population and especially in rural communities. ¦ NHCH has identified a deficiency in suitable available medical office space in the Waimea area, which in turn serves as a significant deterrent to recruiting and retaining young doctors in Waimea and the North Hawaii region. ¦ The proposed project would allow NHCH to make additional space available to doctors and other health and wellness service providers, and would co-locate the proposed project within direct proximity to the existing NHCH hospital and its supporting medical infrastructure (e,g., emergency services, MRI, X-rays, surgical suites, etc.). Hawaii County General Plan 36 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) i STANDARDS OF REVIEW Applicable District Standards C. The extent to which the proposed reclassification conforms to the applicable district standards. HAR §IS-IS-18 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING "U" URBAN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, in determining the boundaries for the "U" urban district, the following standards shall be used: (I) It shall include lands characterized by "city-like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other related land uses; ¦ The project area is situated in the middle of an azea which received urban and commercial/residential land use approvals in the 1990's as part of the Pazker Ranch 2020/Waimea Town Center plans. The project area was not included in these earlier approvals as the lands were not owned by Parker Ranch or NHCH at the time. I • Since that time, development has occurred directly to the West of the site, in areas between the site and Mamalahoa Highway. This includes the Parker Ranch Shopping Center, Pukulani Road (from Mamalahoa Highway to the southwest corner of the project area), and North Hawaii Community Hospital. ¦ As approved with the Parker Ranch 2020 plan, future roads and urban development aze planned east of the project area, ultimately extending from Kamamalu Street to the north and to Mamalahoa Highway near the Kamuela Race Track to the south. (2) It shall take into consideration the following specific factors: (A) Proximity to centers of trading and employment except where the development would generate new centers of trading and employment; ¦ The project site is situated within Waimea Town Center's contiguous State Urban and County commercially/residentially-zoned town center area. This area serves as the trading and employment center for Waimea and the surrounding region. It is adjacent to existing commercial and institutional development in Waimea, including the Pazker Ranch Shopping Center and Applicable District Standazds 37 Standazds of Review Belt Collins Hawaii for North Hawaii Community Hospital State Land Use Boundazy Amendment (15 acres or less) the North Hawaii Community Hospital, among others. Other adjoining areas to the east of the site are undeveloped but have been approved for future urban development (i.e., lands classified within the State's Urban Land Use District and within the County's Village-Commercial zoning districts). (B) Availability of basic services such as schools, parks, wastewater systems,solid waste disposal, drainage, water, transportation systems, public utilities, and police and fire protection; and • The project site enjoys direct access to nearby parks, schools, police and fire protection services (situated at the Waimea Civic Center, less than 1/4 mile from the site), as well as utilities as discussed under the Public Facilities and Services section (pages 15 to 19) of the Background and County Environmental Report, submitted on May 15, 2007 in conjunction with a Change of Zone Application for the project area. (C) Sufficient reserve areas for foreseeable urban growth; • The project site is contiguous with other undeveloped Urban and County commercially-zoned lands to the east. These lands are intended to accommodate future urban growth in the Waimea area. (3) It shall include lands with satisfactory topography, drainage, and reasonably free from the danger of any flood, tsunami, unstable soil condition, and other adverse environmental effects; ¦ The project site is relatively flat, with prevailing slopes of less than 5°/o over a majority of the site, and is reasonably free from the danger of floods, unstable soil conditions, steep slopes or other adverse environmental conditions. Based on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) data, the site is situated outside of the 500- year flood plain. (4) Land contiguous with existing urban areas shall be given more consideration than non-contiguous land, and particularly when indicated for future urban use on state or county general plans; • The project site is directly adjacent to existing urban areas to the West, including commercial and institutional developments along the Mamalahoa Highway corridor, including the Parker Ranch Shopping Center and North Hawaii Community Hospital. • The project site is also contiguous with other undeveloped Urban and County commercially-zoned lands to the east. (5) It shall include lands in appropriate locations for new urban concentrations and shall give consideration to areas of urban growth as shown on the state and county general plans; • The project site is situated within Waimea's contiguous State Urban and County commercially-zoned town center area.

(6) It may include lands which do not conform to the standards in paragraphs (I) to (5): (A) When surrounded by or adjacent to existing urban development; and (B) Only when those lands represent a minor portion of this district; ¦ The project site conforms to the standards in paragraphs (1) to (5), and is surrounding by, and adjacent to, existing and future planned urban development. (7) It shall not include lands, the urbanization of which will contribute toward scattered spot urban development, necessitating unreasonable investment in public infrastructure or support services; and ¦ Because of the project site's location within the center of lands in the State Urban Use District and the County's Village-Commercial Zoning District, and adjacent to existing developed areas of Waimea Town Center, the proposed project can be ~ considered an infill development site. ¦ It would not result in spot urban development or an unreasonable investment in public infrastructure or support services. (8) It may include lands with a general slope of twenty per cent or more if the f commission finds that those lands are desirable and suitable for urban purposes and that i the design and construction controls, as adopted by any federal, state, or county agency, are adequate to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and the public's interests in the aesthetic quality of the landscape. • The prevailing slope on the property is less than five (5) percent.

Subject Request 1. Details of the Proposed Use/Development a. Project Description On behalf of North Hawaii Community Hospital ("Landowner" and "Applicant", NHCH), Belt Collins Hawaii ("Agent") is requesting a change of the County Land Use Zoning Map for an undeveloped 4.084- acre site in Waimea in the South Kohala District. The site includes TMK 6-7-002: 20 (4.015 acres) and a portion of TMK 6-7-002: 051 (0.069 acres). See Location Map in Figure I and Real Property Tax Map in Figure 2. i This application proposes to change 0.947-acres of Limited Industrial- zoned (ML-20) land and 3.137-acres of Agricultural-zoned (A-40a) land to the County's Village-Commercial (CV-7.5) zoning district. See Existing and Proposed Zoning diagrams in Figures 3 and 4, respectively. The site is situated along Pukulani Road and is contiguous with other vacant lands owned by NHCH. The site is situated to the south of the existing hospital (TMK 6-7-02: 13) and is in close proximity to Mamalahoa Highway and Parker Ranch Shopping Center (TMK 6-7-02; 30). The project site is undeveloped and vacant pasture land, and is proposed for the development of a medical office building, which may include the Waimea Women's Center and/or additional space for doctors' offices. See Proposed Medical Office Building Site Plan in Figure 5. b. Statement of Objectives and Reasons for the Request NHCH is proceeding with the change of zone application to allow for the development of the medical office building in areas accessible to existing roads and where basic infrastructure is available. Based on the County's General Plan (see Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map in Figure 6), and earlier land use approvals for lands surrounding the property (in conjunction with Zoning Ordinance 96-117 & 95-63, Pazker Ranch 2020/Waimea Town Center), this application is consistent with long-term County policies for the azea. Seeking the Village-Commercial (CV-7.5) zoning would bring the project azea into general conformance with the existing zoning for surrounding lands. a Number of acres/squaze Feet The subject area is 4.084 acres. 1 d. Proposed units/lots/floor azea of proposed building envelope The proposed medical office building is expected to consist of approximately 16,800 squaze feet in a low-rise structure (one to two stories). e. Timeframe and Cost The anticipated timeframe for completion of the project is 2010 and development costs are expected to range from $9 to $11 million. f Number of Employees and Clientele The medical office building is estimated to have 35 to 40 employees and daily patient traffic of 80 to 120 patients. Hours of operation are expected to be from 8:OOam to S:OOpm, Monday to Friday, with more limited hours of operations on Saturdays and Sundays. g. Parking Arrangement To conform to the Hawaii County Code, the proposed building site will include a minimum of 56 parking stalls, to conform to the Code's requirement of 1 stall per 300 sf of gross floor area for commercial uses. The proposed parking areas would take access from an existing hospital driveway leading to improved portions of Pukulani Road. h. Traffic hnpacts As part of this application, Julian Ng, Inc. completed a Traffic Assessment in January 2007. See Traffic Assessment in Appendix A. Traffic volumes generated by the proposed project were estimated for various time periods using trip rates from the widely used reference, Trip Generation, a publication of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Four peak hour periods on an average weekday have been considered: the morning peak hour of traffic on the highway (AM Peak Hour), the morning peak hour of site-generated traffic, the afternoon peak hour ofsite-generated traffic, and the afternoon peak hour of traffic on the highway (PM Peak Hour). Trip estimates prepared as part of the assessment assumed that all of the traffic generated by the proposed medical office building will use Pukulani Road and be new traffic that is added to the existing traffic on Mamalahoa Highway. Existing_Tra~c Conditions A traffic signal controls movements at the intersection of Pukulani Road and Mamalahoa Highway. The north leg of the intersection is the middle driveway to a shopping center. The east and west legs of the intersection are the highway links, east toward the Hamakua Coast, and west towazd the Kona coast.

The improved portion of this road extends for approximately one-quarter mile south of the highway. An existing 24' wide driveway (with a 6' wide sidewalk to one side) from Pukulani Road to the existing hospital will serve the proposed medical office building. Existing critical movements at the Mamalahoa Highway/Pukulani Road intersection currently range from LOS D to LOS E. Anticipated Increase in Tra~c/Traffic Impacts from Proposed Use New vehicle nips related to the project is estimated to peak at 40 vehicle trips entering per hour during the AM site peak hour (weekday), and 46 vehicle trips exiting per hour during the PM Peak-Hour (weekday). Traffic volumes generated by the proposed medical office building have been estimated to be less than the guideline of an increase of 100 vehicles per hour suggested by the TTE for conducting a traffic impact or site ( access study. The traffic impact of the project was identified by estimating baseline 1 volumes and with-project traffic volumes at the intersection of Mamalahoa Highway and Pukulani Road. The greatest impact at this intersection, assuming that all project traffic will be added to the highway traffic, will be an increase of less than 4% of existing traffic volumes. The increase in the sum of critical movements is less than one-third of the range of one level of service (i.e., the highest increase of 46 passenger cars per hour is less than one-third of the typical difference of 140 passenger cars per hour per hour between the levels of service) and does not affect the existing LOS service for critical movements at this intersection. By locating the proposed medical office building, and the Waimea Women's Center, on the same campus as the hospital, there may be additional traffic-related benefits as trips between these destinations will be contained without additional loading onto surrounding roads. ~ Additionally, when visitors, employees and patients make trips for different services and shopping between the medical office building, the hospital, and Pazker Ranch Shopping Center, they can do so by crossing directly across Pukulani Road without loading onto Mamalahoa Highway. Based on both the project related traffic volumes and the additional benefit of co-locating services within an existing town center area, the project traffic impacts aze not expected to be significant. ~ i. Proposed on-site and off-site infrastructure O -Site Infrastructure Off-site infrastvcture improvements will be limited. Access to the project site is proposed by way of an existing 24' wide paved driveway from Pukulani Road to the existing hospital. Pukulani Road is an improved 3 private road owned by Parker Ranch, with which NHCH has an agreement to allow it access (see attached in Appendix G). Pazker Ranch has indicated that they intend to dedicate this portion of Pukulatii Road in the neaz future. The proposed project will connect to existing utilities that support the hospital or which are presently available along Pukulani Road. On-Site Infrastructure Proposed on-site infrastructure will include parking areas; driveways, and underground utilities, including water, sewer, electrical, telephone, and CATV service. B. Conformance with State/County Plans 2. State Land Use Designation The State Land Use District Boundary Map designates the existing MLr20 zoned area, or 0.947-acres, within the State's Urban Land Use District, and the existing A-40a zoned area, or 3.137-acres, within the State's Agricultural Land Use district. 3. How the proposed use is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Coastal Zone Management (existing public access, scenic or open space resources, coastal view planes, and coastal ecosystems). The project site is situated approximately 10 miles inland and no portion of the site falls under the definition of "Coastal Zone Management Area" as defined in Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), as, "all lands of the State and the area extending seawazd from the shoreline to the limit of the State's police power and management authority, including the United States territorial sea." 4. Applicable goals/policies and objectives of the General Plan The Hawaii County General Plan (February 2005) contains a list of goals, policies and courses of action for each study element pertaining to the island. The following is a discussion of the project's consistency with the relevant goals, policies, and courses of action within the specific elements of the Hawaii County General Plan. Economic: Goals (c) Strive for diversity and stability in the economic system. (f) Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors. Policies 4 (n Support all levels of education, employment and training opportunities and institutions. (x) Encourage the health and wellness industry. Discussion: The proposed project will improve the availability of employment opportunities and medical services in Waimea and surrounding communities, and encourage continued growth of the health and wellness industry on the Island of Hawaii. i~ Historic Sites: Goals (a) Protect, restore, and enhance the sites, buildings, and objects of significant historical and cultural importance to Hawaii. Policies (c) Require both public and private developers of land to provide historical and archaeological surveys and cultural assessments, where appropriate, prior to the clearing or development of land when there are indications that the land under consideration has historical significance. (n) Consider requiring Cultural Assessments for certain developments as part of the rezoning process. Discussion: An Archaeological Inventory Survey and Cultural Irnpact Assessment were undertaken for the project site in preparation of this • change of zone application. These are attached in Appendix B and C. No significant azchaeological sites were identified, and no Traditional Cultural Properties or cultural practices were found in the project area. Land Use: Goal (a) Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. Policy (a) Zane urban-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community ~ services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. I (c) Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region, and County. ~ (n Encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. 5 (j) Encourage urban development within existing zoned areas already served by basic infrastructure, or close to such areas, instead of scattered development. Discussion: The proposed change of zone will allow NHCH to develop a medical office building which will provide increased access to medical services for Waimea and surrounding communities. This application will allow the medical office building to be developed in the midst of azeas plammed for the future Waimea Town Center, and in azeas of available infrastructure. 5. General Plan designation (LUPAG Map) The subject site lies within the Low Density Urban and the Medium Density Urban Development Zones, as delineated in the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map of the County of Hawaii General Plan. Land azeas allocated to these LUPAG zones roughly follow the County's existing A-40a (Low Density Urban) and ML-20 (Medium Density Urban) zoning districts for the project site. The General Plan LUPAG diagram is attached in Figure 6. On this basis, the proposed application is understood to be consistent with the existing County General Plan. 6. Zoning The current zoning for TMK 6-7-02:20 include 0.947-acres of ML-20 (Limited Industrial) zoned land, and 3.068-acres of A-40a (Agricultural) zoned land. The current zoning for the 0.069-acre portion of TMK 6-7-02: 51 that is included within this application is A-40a. The proposed CV-7.5 (Village Commercial) zoning for the project site is consistent with the prevailing CV-7.5 zoning on surrounding lands. 7. Community Development Plan The proposed site falls within the area of the South Kohala Community Development Plan. The South Kohala Community Plan prepazation process is now underway with completion of the CDP anticipated at the end of 2008. 8. Special Management Area The site is not within the Special Management Area. 6 C. Physical Characteristics and Environmental Setting of the Property and Surrounding Area Physical Characteristics/Environmental Setting 9. Description of Subject Property, location, climate, topography, slopes, soils Subject Property The project site is an L-shaped lot measuring approximately 1,140' x 427' along ( its longest edges, with approximately 30' of frontage onto the improved and subdivided portion of Pukulani Road, and an additional 140' frontage onto a future Pukulani Road extension, which is neither owned by NHCH nor improved. The site consists of a former homestead site and pastures land and is undeveloped and vacant. Location The project site is situated in Waimea on the Island of Hawaii. The site is situated south of the existing NHCH hospital at the end of Pukulani Road, approximately 1/4 mile south of Mamalahoa Highway. Climate The average maximum daily temperature in the project area is approximately 75 degrees F., with an average minimum of 65 degrees F. Annual rainfall averages approximately 75 inches. Winds are dominated by prevailing northeast tradewinds, which forme] through the saddle between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea. Light and variable westerly "Kona" winds occasionally replace the prevailing trades, most often in winter. Togo rv aDhv The site is situated in the saddle between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea, between elevations 2,686' amsl and 2,710' amsl. The majority of the site is relatively flat, with elevations varying from 2,686' amsl to 2,692' amsl. The eastern most portion of the site rises quickly, with elevations vazying from 2,692' amsl to 2,710' amsl over the easternmost 100' of the property. Slone The majority of the site fronting both Pukulani Road and the NHCH driveway is relatively flat, with average slopes of less than 5%. The rear, or easternmost, portions of the site rises quickly at a slope of approximately 20%. Soils Based upon review of USDA Soil Conservation Service's Soil Survey for the Island of Hawaii dated December 1973, the subject site contains soils described as Kikoni (KfA) and Waimea (WMC). 7 Based upon the "Detailed Land Classification-Island of Hawaii" published by the Land Study Bureau in November 1965, the soil found on the site is described as Kikoni, Palapalai, and Punohu (B106, land classification symbol). These soils aze very deep and are from volcanic ash. They are well drained and well suited for agriculture, or machine tillability. 10. Lava Hazard Zone Based upon a 1987 USGS map showing volcanic hazard zones on the island of Hawaii, the subject site lines within Zone 8 -Mauna Kea. Zone 8 is based on a nine zone scale in which Zone 1 is the area of greatest hazazd and Zone 9 of the least. Zone 8 includes the lower slopes of Maua Kea and most of this area has not been affected by lava flows for the past 10,000 years. 11. Distance from coastline The site is approximately 10 miles east of the South Kohala coastline and approximately 8.5 miles south west of the Hamakua coastline. 12. Agricultural Lands of Importance in the State of Hawaii (ALISH) designation The site is designated as "built-up,"based on the November 1982 ALISH map and is not situated within any areas designated of agricultural importance. 13. U.S.D.A Natural Resources Conservation Services Soil Service Report soil type Based upon review of USDA Soil Conservation Service's Soil Survey for the Island of Hawaii dated December 1973, the subject site contains soils described as Kikoni (KfA) and Waimea (WMC). Kikoni (KfA): The soil consists ofwell-drained very fine sandy loams that formed in volcanic ash, 0 to 3 percent slopes. The natural vegetation consists of Bermuda grass, Hilo grass, ratail, and kikuyu grass. The surface of the soil has lost its strong granulaz structure where it has been continuously cultivated. This soil is used for truck crops. Waimea (WMC): The soil consists ofwell-drained very fine sandy loams that formed in volcanic ash, 6 to 12 percent slope. The natural vegetation consists of cactus, Bermuda grass, rattail, and ilima. The surface layer is about 17 inches thick and is neutral; the subsoil is about 25 inches thick and is mildly alkaline. Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazazd is slight. This soil is used for pasture and for irrigated truck crops. 14. Land Study Bureau soil rating Based upon the "Detailed Land Classification-Island of Hawaii" published by the Land Study Bureau in November 1965, the soil found on the site is described as 8 Kikoni, Palapalai, and Punohu (B106, land classification symbol). These soils aze very deep and aze from volcanic ash. They are well drained and well suited for agriculture, or machine tillability. 15. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designation The site lies outside of the 500-year flood plain. 16. Existing Drainage Ways or Improvements The existing topographic survey of the prof ect site shows no existing ( drainageways or drainage improvements. The proposed on-site infrastructure will include drywells and catch basins with drywells to collect and retain storm water from on-site. 17. Air/Noise/Water Quality 1 Air The state of Hawaii operates a network of air quality monitoring stations azound the state, but unfortunately systematic data is not available for the South Kohala azea. It is generally accepted that all criteria pollutants aze well within the standazd in this area. Winds aze northeast tradewinds that pass between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea. Light and variable westerly winds occasionally replace this pattern, especially in the winter months. South Kohala receives small quantities of vog from winds blowing north of Kona, where the Kilauea Volcano is located. However, the vog is frequently kept away from the subject site due to dominant trade winds. The principal source of short-term air quality impact will be construction activity. 1 During constmction, construction vehicle activity will increase automotive pollutant concentrations and site preparation and earth moving will create particulate emissions as will building construction. Fugitive dust control measures will be implemented in accordance with requirements set forth in Hawaii Administrative Rules 11-60.1. The principal source of long-term air quality impact will be automotive emissions, ( with an expected increase in carbon monoxide due to increased traffic associated with the proposed development. Based on the limited impact ofproject-related traffic, no significant impact to air quality from the proposed project is anticipated. Noise ~ The primary source of noise related to the project will be from constmction activity and from employee and patient vehicles. As lands azound the project site aze either vacant or undeveloped, noise related to the project is not expected to impact any sensitive or residential areas. Water Ouality 9 No adverse effects on surface water quality are expected given the distance of the site to the ocean (approx. 8.5 to 10 miles) and considering surface drainage is proposed to be captured and discharged into on-site drywells. Historic Resources 18. Existing archaeological, cultural or historic sites on National Register or Hawaii Register Archaeological Sites An Archaeological Inventory Survey of the site was prepared by Thomas Wolforth, M.S. in February 2007, and is attached in Appendix B. No significant archaeological sites were found within the project area. A pedestrian survey was conducted at 15 meter intervals over 100% of the project azea. Spazse vegetation facilitated cleaz viewing, and particulaz attention was paid to the periphery of the project azea that is covered in small trees, and along the hillside (easternmost portion of site) where maps indicated that an 'auwai was once present. The historic documentation associated with the project azea cleazly indicate that this azea was utilized during the historical period:Mahele data put a resident here in the mid-1830's, the community azound the site was involved with agriculture and ranching throughout the 1800s, and an 'auwai is documented to have passed through the site. The continued use of the area throughout the modern era, up to 2005 when the former house was bulldozed, has altered the place to such an extent that there are no "intact" azchaeological remains that could be evaluated as being significant. There were two earlier cultural modifications that have been modified sometime during over a century's passage: a wall and an 'auwai. The wall is oriented north- south in the western third of the project area and has been disturbed to such an extent that is not clear how it was used. Although possibly a ranching construct, and consequently dating to circa middle or late 1800s, the lack of integrity of shape, which precludes a clear determination of function is such that this is determined not to be a significant cultural resource. There is no surface indication of an 'auwai on the project site, though cleaz evidence of the `auwai to the north and to the south of the project site exists. Close inspection of the entire eastern side of the project area indicates that the 'auwai, where it would have connected the two segments, is no longer present on site. While there is some information relevant to the history of Hawaii prior to 50 years ago, that information has been obliterated or obscured to such a degree that is not likely to yield any important information regarding historical developments. Cultural Sites 10 A Cultural Impact Assessment of the site was prepared by Thomas Wolforth, M.S. in March 2007, and is attached in Appendix C. Part of the assessment centered on the concept of identifying Traditional Cultural Practices (TCP) and if present, determines whether they would be impacted by the project. Traditional Cultural Property means any historic property associated with the traditional practices and beliefs of an ethnic community or members of that community for more than fifty years. Traditional associations are those ' demonstrating a continuity of practice or belief until present or those documented i in historical source materials, or both (origin of TCP concept is found in the National Register Bulletin 38 published by the U.S. Department of Interior- ( National Pazk Service). l Based on written accounts of legend and history the Mahele records and maps, and the azchaeological work, there were found no Traditional Cultural Properties present in the site. The assessment also included consideration of the broader concept of cultural practices and beliefs provided in the Nov. 19, 1997 Guidelines for Assessing Cultural Impacts from the Hawaii State Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC). According to OEQC's guidelines, cultural practices and beliefs may include subsistence, commercial, residential, agricultural, access-related, recreational, and religions and spiritual customs. Based on interviews with informants and consultation of oral history, written J accounts of legend and history, the Mahele records and maps, there were several things to consider regarding cultural resources and practices within the project area. The lot is a recently vacated homestead. A house, with modern conveniences was recently bulldozed. Abandoned cars and trash are scattered around the property. Based on this situation, there were found no cultural practices that take place directly on this property. As a result, no negative impacts to cultural practices are anticipated on the project site. There is a cultural practice that occurs adjacent to, south of, and outside of the property: visitation of an old cemetery (Koki pazcel). The Koki parcel has been used as a cemetery at least since 1907. The cemetery continues to be tended, and although not in the project azea, vehicular access to the cemetery passes through the project area. NHCH is not proposing development in direct proximity to the adjacent parcel and will ensure future access to the adjoining Koki parcel. Historic Sites on National Register or Hawal'i Register There are no historic sites in the project area. 11 Natural Resources 19. Existing floraUfaunal resources Floral.• In January 2007, Palmer & Associates Consulting completed a Botanical Survey of the subject site, which is attached in Appendix D. The survey concludes that there are neither endangered or raze plants nor unique or sensitive habitats in the project area. Original native vegetation had been removed years ago. The area is highly disturbed and modified from its pristine condition, and there is essentially no native vegetation on the site. Development of the subject site will have no significant negative effects on botanical resources, native habitats or raze and endangered plants. A majority of the azea surveyed was former pasture land and covered in a dense sod of kikuyu grass. Trees found in the site were mainly black wattle and Christmas berry and were located on the edges of the parcel. An old planting of Monterey Cypress forms a windbreak in the north east corner of the project aza and has the potential to be incorporated into future landscaping for the site. Indigenous sea bean had been planted in the grounds as well. Fauna: Irt January 2007, Phillip L. Bruner, an Environmental Consultant, conducted an Avifaunal and Feral Mammal Survey for the subject azea, which is attached in Appendix E. Afield survey was conducted on foot over two days to allow for early morning and late afternoon-evening observations. No native land birds were recorded on the survey. The Hawaiian Owl or Pueo and Hawaiian Hawk or Io could forage on occasion at the site, though there was no known published data on their frequency of occurrence at the location. The Pacific Golden-Plover or Kolea was the only migrant seen on the survey. No other migrants would be expected at this site. The only mammals detected were the Small Indian Mongoose and Goat. The endangered Hawaiian Hoary bat was not found but could occasionally forage and roost in the area. The alien birds tallied on the survey were those typically found in this region. 20. Scenic or coastal resources The Hawaii County General Plan characterizes the scenic beauty of the Waimea region as a plateau between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea. The pastures and pu'u surrounding Waimea have been identified as vistas of dramatic natural beauty. Based on the low-scale nature of the proposed development and its location in the middle of future Waimea Town Center urban growth areas, the proposed project is not expected to significantly impact scenic resources in the region. 12 Valued Cultural Resources 21. Traditional and Customary Native Hawaiian Rights As discussed within the Cultural Impact Assessment attached in Appendix C and summarized above under item 18, there were found no traditional or customary native Hawaiian rights exercised in the project area. Public Access 22. Existing public access to and along the shoreline or to mountain areas and I knowledge of public access being used: The project site is not known to be used for public access to shoreline or mountain areas. Social-Economic Characteristics 23. Social Settlement pattern for the area Waimea has long been an important settlement and ranching community, serving as the headquarters for Parker Ranch for a century and a half. It enjoys a dramatic setting in the misty uplands in the picturesque saddle between Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mountains. The last twenty yeazs has seen rapid growth in the region with residential growth driven by an influx of transplanted mainland residents and employment growth related to the rapidly developing resort and resort-residential communities on the South Kohala coastline. The U.S. Census shows the population in South Kohala in 1980 to be 4,607, and growing to 13,131 as of the 2000 Census. More than 7,000 people now reside in Waimea alone. By 2020, the population of South Kohala is projected to increase to over 24,400. Continued residential growth in the Waimea area is expected. In 1998 and as part of Pazker Ranch 2020/Waimea Town Center plan, lands surrounding the project l area, from the Kamuela Race Track to Kamamalu Street, were approved for a variety of urban uses, including over 150 net acres for futwe residential 'i development (County RA, RM, RS zoning districts). To date, less than a third of ~ these entitled residential lands have been developed. These lands aze expected to be developed over the next 20 yeazs as basic infrastmcture become available. 24. Economic Resources of the area The primary economic activities in South Kohala include tourism, cattle ranching, agriculture, public and private educational institutions, scientific reseazch associated with the observatories located on Mauna Kea and health and wellness organizations. South Kohala enjoys one of the lowest employment rates and the highest median household incomes among all the districts on the Island of Hawaii. 13 The district is home to the second deepwater port on the island, Kawaihae Harbor (10 miles west of Waimea), and several of the premier resort communities on the island, including Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani and Waikoloa. Waimea is well known for cattle ranching, with Parker Ranch, historically one of the largest privately owned ranches in the country, headquartered in Waimea. The cattle industry utilizes most of the land in the district with pastures extending from the higher slopes of the mountains to lower areas closer to the coast. Waimea is also recognized as one of the most productive areas for vegetable crops on the Big Island, with cabbages, celery, lettuce, turnips, peppers, broccoli, and carrots among some of the commercial vegetable crops grown. Waimea's educational sector includes Hawaii Prepazatory Academy (HPA) and Pazker School. Both aze private college preparatory schools, serving K-12 with enrollment of approximately 600 and 150 students, respectively. HPA includes a boarding program, which accommodates approximately 50% of its Upper School students. Both aze synonymous with the recent history of Waimea as HPA was established in 1949 and Pazker School in the late 1970's. Waimea is also home to several base facilities supporting the observational astronomy telescopes in the summit area of Mauna Kea, including the Canada- France Hawaii Telescope and the W.M. Keck Observatory. The Hawaii County General Plan seeks to support growth of these industries, while also preserving the rural, ranching character of the town of Waimea. 25. Land Values Based on a review of available 2007 Real Property Assessment records, TMK 6- 7-02:20: was valued at $1,282,500, with the agricultwal-zoned portion estimated at $221,100 and the limited industrial-zoned portion estimated at $1,061,400. The 0.069-acre portion of TMK 6-7-01:51 that is included in the application is estimated to be valued at $15,779 based on a proportionate percentage basis (0.4% of 15.219-acre lot area). The total land value of the project area is thus estimated at approximately $1,298,279. Surroundine Lands 26.

Public Facilities and Services 28. Description of Access li Primary access to the project azea will be from the existing improved portions of Pukalani Road, and will take advantage of an existing hospital driveway on TMK 6-7-02: 53. The existing driveway currently provides secondary access to the hospital (TMK 6-7-02: 13) from Pukalani Road and has a pavement width of 24 feet, which widens to 30 feet plus a 4 Foot median at the Pukalani Road intersection. Pukalani Road currently extends south from Mamalahoa Highway for approximately 1,100 feet, providing primary access to a few local businesses and secondary access to the existing hospital. This road is owned by Parker Ranch and Pazker Ranch has indicated that they will eventually dedicate the road to Hawaii County. It is presently a two-way undivided road with a 10-foot wide center turn 15 lane (striped median) and I S-foot lanes in each direction for acurb-to-cwb width of 46 feet. The 18-foot lane width is adequate to allow pazallel parking on both sides. The 60-foot right-of--way width includes cwbs, gutters, and 7-foot wide sidewalks on both sides. Although the cross section varies from standazd County cross sections, it is assumed to be adequate for dedication to the County due to the standazd right-of--way width, adequate pavement width, and provision of cwbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Parker Ranch has granted NHCH an easement for access across Pukulani Road until such time as Pukulani Road is dedicated to the County. A traffic signal controls movements at the intersection of Pukulani Road and Mamalahoa Highway, with left-tum storage lanes available on both Pukulani Road and Mamalahoa Highway. 29. Availability of Water a. Existing Conditions Storaue: The existing hospital (NHCH) is currently being serviced by the 4.0 Million Gallons (MG) Waimea Clearwater Reservoir. The overflow ' elevation of the reservoir is 3,052 ft. Based on consultations with the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply (DWS) on June 8, 2006, the existing available source and storage is anticipated to be adequate for the proposed project. Distribution: There is currently a 12-inch water line running from the Waimea Clearwater Reservoir along Mamalahoa Highway and along Pukalani Road. There is also an 8-inch water line looping from the 12- inch water line along Pukalani Road back to the 12-inch water line in Mamalahoa Highway. It is anticipated that adequate flow and presswe will be available at the project site for fire protection. - b. Projected Demand The design criteria for calculating the potable water demand for the proposed project are based on the 2002 DWS Water System Standards. , The projected potable water demand includes both domestic as well as irrigation demand. The area used to estimate these demands does not include paved azeas, such as roadways or parking lots. The projected potable water demands are as follows: Averse Daily Demand 3.9 acres x 3,000 gpd = 11,700 gpd Maximum Daily Demand 1.5 x 11,700 gpd = 17,550 gpd 16 c. Proposed Action Based on DWS's indication that the source and storage will be sufficient for the proposed rezoning, the required infrastructure improvements will consist of a 2.5-inch domestic water lateral and a 10-inch fire protection line from the existing 12-inch line in Pukulani Road into the project site. 30. Sewage Disposal a. Existing Conditions An existing on-site 8-inch sewer line adjacent to the project site, along the existing driveway to Pukulani Road, provides service to North Hawaii Community Hospital. The existing sewer system, including an offsite Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), is owned by Waimea Wastewater ~ Company. The WWTP is currently not able to accommodate any ~ additional flow at this time. Waimea Wastewater Company is in the process of expanding the WWTP to provide a capacity of 250,000 gpd. This expansion is scheduled to be completed by January 2009. It is expected that after the expansion is completed the WWTP will have adequate capacity to provide service to the subject project. `See letter dated Mazch 23, 2007 from Waimea Wastewater Company, Inc. attached in Appendix F. b. Projected Wastewater Generation The design criterion for the proposed medical office building is based on the Januazy 2004 Hawaii Department of Health Chapter I1-62: Wastewater Systems guide. Projected wastewater flows aze based on t acreage as well as equivalent populations. The projected flows aze determined as follows: Average Daily Flow: No. of Employees: I I -16,800 sf / (200 sf /employee) = 84 employees /day No. of Patients: - 84 em to ees / da x 5 atients / em to ee 420 atients / I ( P Y Y) ( P P Y P day j Employees Average Daily Flow: 84 employees / day x 20 gpd/employee = 1,680 gpd Patients Average Daily Flow: 420 patients / day x 5 gpd/patient = 2,100 gpd Total Average Daily Flow: 1,680 gpd (employees) + 2,100 gpd (patients) = 3,780 gpd 17 c. Proposed Action It is anticipated that sewer service to the subject project can be provided with a connection to the existing 8-inch line adjacent to the project site after completion of the WWTP expansion, which is anticipated to occur by January 2009. No collection system improvements aze anticipated to be - necessazy to accommodate the proposed rezoning. , 31. Solid Waste Solid waste generated from the project will be taken to the Pu'uanahulu Landfill, a 300 acre facility in West Hawaii. According to the 2002 County of Hawaii • Solid Waste Management Plan, the Pu'uanahulu Landfill had more than 12,000,000 cubic yards of permitted capacity in 2002, which should be enough to accommodate West Hawaii for approximately 40 years. The landfill is located along Waikoloa Road, approximately 18 miles by road from the project site. 32., Electricity, Telephone, and Cable Service (CATV) • a. Existing Conditions Electrical service to the project azea is provided by Hawaiian Electric Light Company from the Waimea Power Plant and a HELCO substation on Kamamalu Road. Telephone service is provided to the area by Hawaiian Telcom, Inc., and CATV service is provided by Oceanic Time Wamer Cable Company. There is an existing overhead distribution line with electrical, telephone, and CATV service along the west side of Pukalani Road at the project site. b. Projected Demand The projected average electrical demand for the proposed project is 200 kilowatts (kW) with a projected peak demand of 400 kW and projected average monthly consumption of 36,000 kW-hours. The existing , electrical, telephone, and CATV systems available from the overhead distribution line along the west side of Pukalani Road have adequate ' capacity for the proposed project. c. Proposed Action The proposed project would be served by overhead lines across Pukalani Road to a new pole near the project entrance. From the new pole underground conduits would provide onsite electrical, telephone, and CATV distribution into the project site. 18 33. Police & Fire Protection The police and fire services for the project site aze located in Waimea, both of which are located within 1/2 mile of the project site in the Waimea Civic Center complex at the corner of Mamalahoa Highway and Kamamalu Street. 34. Schools The South Kohala district public school, Waimea Elementary and Intermediate School, is located in Waimea and accommodates an enrollment of approximately 1,195 students from kindergarten to 8"' grade. High School students commute to Honokaa and an additional elementary school is in operation in Waikoloa. The proposed project is not expected to impact public schools. 35. Pazks The County's Waimea Pazk (10.5 acres) is the district's recreation center with a ~ community center, playfields and facilities for spectators, tennis courts, restrooms and a playground for children. The proposed project is not expected to impact parks. E. Environmental Assessment and Analysis 36. Relationship between local short term uses of environment and ~ maintenance and enhancement of long term productivity Local short-term use of the environment would include the development of a former homestead and pasture area for a medical office building, which is planned to include the Waimea Women's Center and other doctor's offices. These services would enable greater medical services to be available to the growing residential population in Waimea and surrounding communifies, thereby enhancing the long-term health and productivity of the community. 37. Mitigative measures proposed to avoid, minimize, rectify or reduce impact NHCH is committed to a holistic healing environment that is connected to the i rural, ranching setting of the hospital, and which minimizes impacts to its surrounding environment. NHCH proposes to achieve this by developing low- scale structures, retaining available open spaces, natural rock walls, and mature vegetation, by proposing landscape buffers along road frontages, and by ensuring that adequate pazking and driveways are providing on its campus. 19 38. Alternatives to the Proposed Development Proposed Action: In considering the proposed action, NHCH recognized the opportunity to provide amore permanent home for the Waimea Women's Center and make available more opportunities for doctors to have their own offices. Existing available space for these functions in Waimea are very limited and the existing hospital and LHMC does not have space available to accommodate these additional functions. Developing the proposed medical office building on the project site would allow NHCH to build in areas where access to existing roads and infrastmcture are ' available. It also ensures that NHCH will be able to maintain more open space , , behind, or to the south of, the existing hospital, where patient rooms look out on pastures and distant views of Mauna Kea. ' Development on this project site also allows NHCH greater flexibility to reconfigure supporting facilities and functions at its hospital in the future should the need arise, though no plans exist at this present time. No-Action Alternative: The "no-action" alternative would retain the present undeveloped and vacant ` status of the site. This action was not pursued fiuther because it would have limited NHCH from developing lands that are otherwise accessible to existing roads and infrastructure. Other hospital lands are less ready for development because of their lack of proximity to available infrastructure. Other areas closer to the existing hospital would also impact existing open space views from patient rooms. This alternative would also have limited the availability of additional medical services to the growing Waimea and South Kohala communities. , Alternative Use of the site: The proposed medical office building addresses the NHCH's most pressing needs. ' Other alternative uses that NHCH has discussed, including housing, additional physical and recreational therapy facilities, long-term care facilities, have not been identified as its most pressing needs and may ultimately be addressed at a later, as yet undetermined date as NHCH continues to develop its campus concurrent with available financial resources and as basic infrastructures become , more available for the remainder of its lands. 39. Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of natural resources that would be involved if proposed action implemented Based on the technical studies noted within the application, no significant natural, cultural, or azchaeological resources would be affected by proposed development of the project site. 20 Appendix A Traffic Assessment (January 2007) Julian Ng, Inc. Traffic Assessment Medical Office Building, North Hawaii Community Hospital Waimea, Hawaii TMK 6-7-02: 49 January 2007 The North Hawaii Community Hospital has proposed to construct a medical office building on a portion of their existing campus in Waimea, Hawaii. The project site is located I south of the existing hospital building and will have its primary vehicular access from Pukalani Road. Figure 1 shows the project location and the surrounding street system. The proposed medical office building will house a women's center, general surgeons' offices, and additional space for several doctors. The services provided by the building will support ongoing activities at the existing hospital. A parking lot will be provided adjacent to the building neaz Pukalani Road. The hospital's internal roadway system will provide a connection from existing parking areas to the new parking lot and some of the traffic generated by the new medical office building is expected to be to or from the hospital. However, the trip estimates prepared as part of this assessment have assumed that all of the traffic generated by the proposed medical office building will use Pukalani Road. The traffic volumes generated by the proposed project at completion and full use have been estimated for various time periods using trip rates from the widely used reference, Trip Generation, a publication of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Four peak hours on an average weekday have been considered: the morning peak hour of traffic on the highway (AM Peak Hour), the morning peak hour ofsite-generated traffic, the afternoon peak hour of site-generated traffic, and the afternoon peak hour of traffic on the highway (PM Peak Hour). Table 1 shows the traffic generation rates that were applied and the computed vehicular trips for a medical office building with a gross floor area of approximately 16,800 square feet.

The project, therefore, is not expected to have a significant impact to traffic conditions in the azea. The remainder of this report provides additional infonnation to support the conclusion that the development will not have significant traffic impacts. Julian Ng, Inc. Traffic Assessment, Medical Office Building for January 2007 3 of 9 North Hawaii Community Hospital Existing Conditions The proposed project is located in Waimea, Hawaii. Mamalahoa Highway (Hawaii Belt Road) passes through Waimea and is adjacent to and north of the hospital. Mamalahoa Highway is the only public roadway serving traffic in and out of Waimea from the east side of the island of Hawaii, and it serves local traffic to and from various public, business, and residential uses located along the highway. Traffic from the proposed project will enter or leave the highway at Pukalani Road. In the vicinity of Pukalani Road, the Hawaii Belt Road is five lanes wide, with two lanes for traffic in each direction and a left tutu lane between the traffic lanes. About 1,200 feet to the east, the Hawaii Belt Road narrows to become atwo-lane undivided highway. Approximately 1,000 feet to the west, traffic to the west side of the island can either continue on Mamalahoa Highway or use Lindsay Road to connect to Kawaihae Road. A traffic signal controls movements at the intersection of 1'ukalani Road and Mamalahoa Highway. The north leg of the intersection is the middle driveway to a shopping center. The east and west legs of the intersection are the highway links, east towazd the Hamakua coast, and west toward the Kona coast, of the Big Island. The south leg is Pukalani Road, athree-lane roadway that is striped for one lane of traffic in each direction and a median turn lane for left turns in and out of driveways serving adjoining properties. The improved portion of this road extends for approximately one-quarter mile south of the highway. A driveway from the hospital site near the end of the improved portion of Pukalani Road will serve the proposed medical office building. The State Highways Division's estimates of average daily traffic (ADT) for the segment of the Hawaii Belt Road near the project site (from the State Department of Transportation, Traffc Summary -Island of Hawaii 2002, the latest published information) aze shown in Table 2. Lineaz regression analyses (curve-fitting) were used to determine that the average increase in daily traffic volumes on the highway has been approximately 125 vehicles per day each year. A similar regression analysis for a constant rate of growth indicates an average growth rate of 0.65% per year. With either method, the extrapolated ADT for 2010 based on the past trend would be 20,900 vehicles per day. Julian Ng, Inc.

Traffic Summa - Island o Hawaii 2002. Factors provided in the Traj~c Summary report were used to compute peak hour volumes on Hawaii Belt Road. Two-way volumes on the highway in 2002 were 1,500 vehicles per hour in the AM Peak Hour and 1,600 vehicles per hour in the PM Peak Hour. Traffic counts taken in June, 2004 (State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation, Traffic Survey Data -Island of Hawaii 2004, Stations 10 and 10-F) showed 24-hour totals of 20,929 vehicles per day on the east leg of the intersection of Hawaii Belt Road and Lindsay Road, and 15,071 vehicles per day on Hawaii Belt Road (Mamalahoa Highway) two miles east of Kamamalu Street (Kamamalu Street is approximately 1,900 feet east of Pukalani Road). Two-way peak hour volumes recorded in 2004 were 1,323 vehicles per hour east of Lindsay Road and 1,206 vehicles per hour two miles east of Kamamalu Street in the AM Peak Hour, and 1,516 vehicles per hour east of Lindsay Road and 1,361 vehicles per hour two miles east of Kamamalu Street in the PM Peak Hour. 'i Existing traffic conditions in Waimea are described as congested for most of the day. The single, narrow highway and the many driveways result in slow-moving traffic. The County of Hawaii Planning Department is conducting a traffic circulation study to address the existing situation. The study is expected to be completed in early-2007 and will include recommendations for both short-term improvements and long-range improvements. Short- term improvements will include traffic operational changes such as traffic signal timing adjustments, while long-range improvements will include new roadways and additional modifications to traffic flow. Julian Ng, Inc. Traffic Assessment, Medical Office Building for January 2007 5 of 9 North Hawaii Community Hospital Impact of the Proposed Development The traffic impact of the proposed project was considered by evaluating conditions at the intersection of Hawaii, Belt Road and Pukalani Road. Conditions at signalized intersections are described by "Levels of Service" which are related to the average delay incurred by drivers using the intersection. Six levels of service are defined, ranging from "A" for good conditions to "F" for poor conditions. Level of Service A describes little or no delay, with average delays of no more than 10 seconds per vehicle. Level of Service B describes short delays of 10 to 25 seconds. Level of Service C is considered "average" conditions, with delays greater than 25 but no more than 40 seconds per vehicle. Level of Service D describes long delays of more than 40 seconds but no more than 55 seconds. Level of Service E describes very long delays typical of near- capacity conditions, with delays greater than 55 seconds but not more than 80 seconds. Level of Service F describes conditions when delays are greater than 80 seconds. In determining levels of service, traffic composition and volumes, intersection geometry, and signal timing aze considered. Field measurements of physical characteristics of an intersection, traffic volumes, and signal timing can be used to compute delays and determine levels of service. For this assessment, however, a simplified evaluation procedure was applied and traffic estimates were used in lieu of field counts. Traffic assignments at the intersection, in equivalent passenger cars per hour, for year 2010 were developed for various hours of a typical weekday by applying the derived annual growth rate described above to traffic counts taken in. The traffic assignments, shown in Figure 2, represent the baseline, or without project condition for each of the four weekday hours being considered. Project traffic volumes were added to the baseline volumes for the "with project" traffic volumes, shown in Figure 3. Julian Ng, Inc.

Traffic Assessment, Medical Office Building for January 2007 7 of 9 North Hawaii Community Hospital The simplified analysis of the intersection, using a "Critical Movement Analysis" that determines the conflicting movements and computes a sum for the intersection was used. In this analysis, a sum of 1,400 passenger cars per hour was considered the capacity of the intersection, and "Levels of Service" were based on the relationship between levels of service and the critical movement sum shown below. Levels of Service -Signalized Intersections Critical Movement Sum 770 910 1,050 1,190 1,400 >1,400 (maximum) relative to capacity 55% 65% 75% 85% 100% >100% Level of Service A B C D E F Level of Service D is considered acceptable for urban conditions such as in Waimea. Any unacceptable conditions would mean that improvements should be done. Table 3 presents the results of the analyses. At the intersection during both the afternoon site peak hour and the PM Peak Hour, Level of Service E conditions were found in the baseline condition, indicating improvements are already needed. The addition of project traffic, however, does not change the levels of service. The comparison of the sum of the critical movements and the traffic volumes on the highway for baseline and with-project conditions were compared. At the intersection, the increase in the sum of critical movements is less than one-third of the range of one level of service (i.e. the highest increase of 46 passenger cars per hour is less than one-third of the typical difference of 140 passenger cars per hour between the levels of service). The with-project traffic volumes, which had assumed that any traffic destined to or originating from the proposed medical office building will be new traffic that is added to traffic already on the roadway, would be less than 4% higher than the baseline volumes. This increase would be approximately equal to the increase that would occur in six years at the previously described annual growth rate of 0.65% per year. Julian Ng, Inc.

The project traffic impact, therefore, is not expected to be significant. The traffic impact of the project was identified by estimating baseline volumes and with-project traffic volumes at the intersection of Hawaii Belt Road and Pukalani Road. The greatest impact at this intersection, assuming that all project traffic will be added to the highway traffic, will be an increase of less than 4% of existing traffic volumes. Julian Ng, Inc.

Previous Archaeological Studies in the Ahupua'a S ii INTRODUCTION North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) plans to build a Medical Office Pazk (MOP) on approximately 4.4 acres that straddles the ohupua'a of Pu`ukapu and Waikoloa in South Kohala (TMK: (3) 6-7-002:20 and 6-7-002:02 portion of 51). The project azea is an irregulaz polygon with a western boundary at Pukalani Road, and the remainder adjacent to existing NHCH lands (Figures 1 and 2). A portion of the southern boundary is adjacent to a small parcel TMK (3) 6-7-002:10 that is not owned by the NHCH (shown in white in Figure 1). The project area will be grubbed and graded, and landscaped to facilitate the construction of a parking lot, several small buildings, walkways, and a courtyard associated with the Medical Office Park.

PHYSICAL SETTING The project area is at approximately 2700 feet about sea level near the confluence of Kohala and Mauna Kea flows. Lava flows from these two volcanoes aze well over 10,000 years old (Wolfe and Moms 1996). The fine sand to silty sediment known as Pahala Ash soils cover the project azea (Sato et al. 1973:100). Saprolitic boulders and rocks aze included within these soils. Mean annual temperatures are in the 60's (Fahrenheit). The winter is colder with temperatures reaching neaz freezing, especially as experienced with the wind chill factor. Observations that were made and recorded by many during the 19'" and eazly 20`h centuries indicates that colder weather was more common than it is today (Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:10). The majority of the project area is level. The eastern edge of the project area is a sloping hillside. Non-native grasses cover most of the area, with non-native trees along most of the perimeter (Figure 3). _ m I ..J aao^ ~ C__.._. - 4 w 1 Puu Ohu, } PROJECTAREA yGedino Qe > zaa ~l, ~ a - Stmm^ ~ ~ ter- '`.'~.~2u~ b ~ ' t . ~ ~ 'v. j, ?

CULTURAL SETTING The land divisions of Waimea are complex (Burchazd and Tomonazi Tuggle 2005:17-18). In brief those that are associated with this project azea can be envisioned as: Moku: Hawaii District: South Kohala Ahupua`a: Waimea `Ili kGpono: Waikoloa and Pu`ukapu `Ili `aina in Waikoloa: Makahikilua `Ili `aina in Pu`ukapu: Paulama The division between the `Ili kupono of Waikoloa and Pu`ukapu is in the western portion of the project azea (Figure 4). There is a relative paucity of legendary associations with the Waimea area. This may reflect a corresponding dearth of occupation and use of the azea during pre-Contact times. `Olelo about Waimea relate to the relatively inhospitable landscape. Hele po'ala 1 ka anu o Waimea.

Paucity of midden remains associated with these localities plus minimal investment in stmctural features at these sites, implies that residence was relatively short-term, most plausibly associated with agricultural activities in fields set off by the field ridges in their near vicinity. While not in itself definitive, charred sweet potato remains recovered from Site 8803 aze consistent with use of the fields for production of this commodity. Development of, or intensification in, use of the field system (with concomitant affect on residence) during Kamehameha's stay at Kawaihae is possible, indeed probable. Extant data, however, while consistent with that interpretation, are not sufficiently fine-grained to correlate to the event with precision. In any case, data suggest that eazliest residence and agricultural pursuits had ceased by 1802. Subsequent and separate periods of use and abandonment of commercial agriculture and residence followed in the period between 1835 and the eazly 1900, and is reflected in the project azea's more recent historical and azchaeological record [Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:117]. Based on the available data, a conservative estimate for Ure arrival of people in Ute Waimea is circa 1400s AD (Burtchazd and Tomonazi Tuggle 2005:116). Some radiocarbon dates can be interpreted as indicating an eazlier arrival, perhaps as early as the 1100s AD (Gordy 2000:312), or somewhat later in the 1300s AD (Wolforth 1999). Whatever the date of arrival, the manner in which those residents settled and used the land is still a matter to be fully understood, depending upon how one interprets the information regazding the irrigation system, sometimes referred to as the Lalamilo Field System. The extensive network of irrigation ditches ('auwai) over the rolling hills and plains of the Waimea area have been the focus of two data recovery azchaeological studies (Clazk and Kirch 1983; Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005), and others have supplied some relevant data (Thompson and Rosendahl 1992; Wolforth 1999) (Figure 5). The eazly archaeological studies have combined to suggest that the irrigation network and associated agricultural fields were created perhaps as eazly as the 1300s AD, with a developing complexity that peaked in the 1700s AD (Gordy 2000:312). Recent investigations have resulted in the consideration of a radically different interpretation (Burtchard and Tomonoari Tuggle 2005): that all of the fields were built after the arrival of Europeans to the azea, in particulaz in association with the short-lived sugaz industry at Waimea in the early 1800s. This new interpretation is well-developed, and incorporates important contextual data such as soil capacity for water retention, and changing climatological patterns during the late historical period in Hawaii. Additional studies aze needed to be able to conclude whether it explains the origin and use of the fields appropriately, however. Until that time, it is appropriate to leave the chronology of the irrigation fields open. Oral histories supply information on a significant event that effected those living in the Waimea azea during the reign of Lonoikamakahiki, who may have ruled circa 1640 to 1660 ADS: the battle of Pu`u`owa`owaka. This battle was an engagement between Maui forces bent on conquest of the island of Hawaii and the amues defending Hawaii (Fomander 1996:123; Kamakau 1992:58). The Maui forces were led by Kamalalawalu, and the ruler of Hawaii at that time was Lonoikamakahiki. ~ See Gordy (2000:84) for a discussion of alternative chronologies for island genealogies. 5 ~ ~ 1 ~ .r.....~..r......r.• / ; Ia c ~~~r ~...rr Irrsrrr.c - r... } •--rze ~tit?~yl.i:'.J c..~y~/+..~.~r.-.rte/ ~ -~v~L.~.si „a z , :i 1...., _ poi + _~_~ai ese ,r uar x Project Area Dnf>a A__ ~ y7 rl ~ i •v"--_ -_~~v~- -'J-ILr~^~~~ i yti ' n j b i cu-.•. `01}x,=fir. arr ~ ,rte ~ 1r~~~ ~~li Wolforth(1999) 6, : \ _rr 4' ~ ~ ~ I PP80XIYATE LOCATOM 'A ~ . - r' mac'` ' OF SITE 3 a I ~ N to sates-.; .

Irrigation Ditches Associated with the Project Area (adapted from Wolforth 1999). Kamalalawalu's warrior fleet landed at Puako. The local Waimea chief Kanaloauo (Kanaloakuaana in Fomander 1996; Kanaloa-kua`ana, son of Keawe-nui-a `Umi in Kamakau 1992:58) mazched down from Waimea to engage the Maui forces knowing the futility of their situation (Fornander 1996:123). His forces were completely overwhelmed by the Maui army at Puako. On his way inland Kamalalawalu encountered two local ali `i, Kumaikeau and Kumakaia (one was named Puhau-kole in Kamakau 1992:58). These two men feigned allegiance to Kamalalawalu, providing the Maui aggressor with false information regarding the best tactics to engage the Hawaiian forces, and indicating that the locals would welcome Kamalalawalu's advance. Kamalalawalu was so encouraged by these devices that he even acted on their recommendation to destroy all of his own canoes to prevent the certain-to-be defeated Hawaiian farces from using them in their retreat. Ultimately Kama was led to the eventual battlefield by their advice that "Lonoikamakahiki is your sure prey. There is the place he may be killed by you; that hill upland of Waimea, Hokuula by name. Once you stand thereon with your warriors, your duty will be simply to roll the rocks from above" (Elbert 1959:188). 6 "The battlefield of Pu`oa`oaka was outside of the grassy plain of Waimea, but the men of Hawaii were afraid of being taken captive by Kama, so they led to the waterless plain lest Maui's warriors find water and hazd, waterworn pebbles. The men of Hawaii feared that the Maui warriors would find water to drink and become stronger for the slinging of stones that would fall like raindrops from the sky" (Kamakau 1992:58-59). The Hawaiian forces overwhelmed those from Maui, pursuing them to Puako, slaughtering the retreating Maui army along the way. They ultimately perished on the coast next to their broken canoes (Elbert 1959; Kamakau 1992). Land Commission Awards There is one Land Commission Awazd (LCA) for this project area: Number 4037. The claimant for LCA 4037 was Anthony D. Allen, also known as Milika`a. According to the testimony associated with this lot, Milika`a lived on that 3.83 acres of land with two houses within an unspecified kind of enclosure over an unspecified portion of the lot. Anthony D. Allen's father was a freed slave that became a successful businessman in Honolulu. (Stewart 1970:157). "Allen, Sr. died in 1835 and was buried in Waimea" (Burchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:A-3). There is no mention of other modifications to the land. There aze several other houselots with multiple residents within enclosures within a mile radius of the project area in the LCA documentation (Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:37). These are very similaz in size and content to the one within the project area. Previous Archaeology and Project Expectations Many archaeological investigations have been conducted within this large ahupua'a that ranges from the Kohala Mountains, the slopes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, to along the shoreline from Kawaihae to `Anaeho`omalu Bay. They have been concentrated in several areas of Waikoloa: along the coast, in Waimea, and in the northern portion of the ahupua `a between the coast and Waimea (Table 1). The results of these investigations in conjunction with the traditional history of the area provide data sufficient to construct an outline of cultural developments in the region and their chronology. Archaeological remains within inland caves suggests that the initial occupation of the Waikoloa azea may have occurred as early as A.D. 780 (Jensen 1989). The presence of small modified lava blisters near the coast with tools and food debris indicates that by A.D. 900 (Kirch 1975, 1979) people were coming to the azea [o extract marine resources. More permanent and continuous use of the coast is reflected in the construction offish ponds and lazger habitation structures by A.D. 1200 (Welch 1989). Population increased and the social structure became more complex (Earle 1978; Cordy 2000). Settlements were dispersed along the entire Waikoloa coast with concentrations of people, and features reflecting more intensive resource extraction (i.e. fishponds and salt pans) and places of political power (i.e. heaiu) at `Anaeho`omalu, Kalahuipua`a, Lalamilo, Puako, and Kawaihae. During the centuries of sustained permanent occupation in Waikoloa from the 1300s through the late 1700s, trails were built to facilitate movement of people along the shoreline, between higher and lower elevations, and between villages (Ban•era 1971; Ching 1971; Rosendahl 1972; Walker and Rosendahl 1986 Trails connecting to the shoreline have been observed to be directly in line with previously unsurveyed areas within the Saddle Road Extension project area. An older trail paralleling the ocean was subsequently built over in the historical era by the Kiholo-Puako, or "King's Trail" (Cordy 1995; Walker and Rosendahl 1986). 7 Table I.

In addition, there is one named cave that mazks a place along the border between Kohala and Kona. A series of paved platfontts situated approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) inland from `Anaeho`omalu have been interpreted as burial features (Jensen and Burgett ]991). Although an absence of archaeological excavations in those features leaves that proposition untested, the size, shape and especially the fine paving and construction of the architecture makes that a likely proposition. The rationale for the situation of multiple burial platforms so faz from habitation areas and other utilized areas, and their scattered, seemingly random placement on the rough lava is unknown at this time. 8 Many of the azchaeological investigations have recorded quany and manufacture areas for abraders (cf. Ching 1971; Kirch 1979; Jensen and Donham 1988). These aze evident in small pits in the lava, often with pieces of bedrock moved from the inside to the rim of the pit. There aze also grooves and shallow lines in the bedrock that appear to have been created by rubbing pieces of rock against the bedrock, most likely to shape the quarried rock. Some of the outcrops contain a rough, scoriaceous lava that is pazticularly well-suited as raw material for abrading tools Petroglyphs were created along the shoreline trail (Cox and Stasack 1990). Some were pecked into the smoothed basins created in the abrader manufacture process (Gordy 2000:232). Battles were fought in several places in the ahupua`a, and warriors traveled through the region to battles fought elsewhere (Fomander 1996; Kalakaua 1990; Kamakau 1996; Malo 1951). The development of the region as a place of power culminated in the enhancement of the Pu`ukohola Heiau by Kamehameha in the late 1700s, and the consecration of the remodeled heiau with the death of Keoua (Desha 2000; Kamakau 1996; Malo 1951). The greatest concentration of population settlement in Waikoloa was at Waimea (Hommon ] 982; Kirch 1975). The Mauna Kea soils were enhanced for cultivation with water from the Kohala Mountains via a network of channels referred to as the Lalamilo Field Sys[em (Clazk and Kirch 1983). Based on several sources of data, it appears that the channel network was created during the late 12th century (Clazk 1983; Wolforth 1999), although recent evaluations of the context and radiocazbon dates suggests that the field system may be a historical development (Burtchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005). Permanent population has continued in Waimea to date, while the field system was abandoned after transformation for alien cultivated species in the mid-1800s (McEldowney 1983). There is evidence that a type of floodwater farming occurred within the banen zone that was dependent on intermittent seasonal flows of surface water (Rosendahl 1972). Several small agricultural features were identified within the narrow Kamakoa Gulch (Jensen and Burgett (1991), and similaz features identified near the base of Pu`u Hinai (Bevacqua 1971). These areas are not far from the "Aina Mahi"just upslope from Pu`u Hinai noted in the historical map Based on the size and configuration of the ahupua'a of Waikoloa, it is assumed that people within Waikoloa had direct access to the cultivated fields of Waimea and the marine, grass, and lava resources at lower elevations and along the coast. At the least, it is expected that these resources were moved and exchanged between the coast and population concentration at Waimea. Data recovery work was conducted in the lands surrounding the MOP project area (Burtchard and Tomonori Tuggle 2005) (Figure 6). Site 21850 is the BrighUSpencer Lot that was first used as a habitation in the 1850s. There is a small 'auwai that was used to supply water to that residential azea. Site 21851 is a platform terrace at the location of a habitation for the Spencer family. It was occupied in the late 1800s and eazly ] 900s. Site 21866 is a stone wall enclosure with residence that dates to circa 1920. Site 21872 is a kuleana lot area, that is currently covered with fill. Based on the archaeological and historical data and the particulaz physical setting of the project area, one `auwai is expected within the project azea. In addition, the LCA associated with the project area indicates that there was a residence here as early as the middle 1800s. The azea was also inhabited until very recently (Figure 7). Habitation features associated with the recent occupation aze expected, and these may obscure evidence of eazlier use and habitation. 9 - j -F~~`=~rr-a4'--- ~ , . ~~~E~ _ Lyon s'Amvai i ' - (I-``' ' .A~';~4''-Pv' oa i~~//_~~ ij (9179) ,.`--emu 9I'9;, MOP Project Area ~ ~i.-i ~ c . \~l ~ +G' ~ ~ _ ~ i .f~ ~ Makahikilva ~'JILpCK ;l. ~ /I6095 ~ .

RESULTS METHODS The methods applied to this project were designed to address the particulaz situation manifest in the physical setting. Pedestrian survey was conducted at 15 meter intervals by myself over 100% of the project azea in less than one day. Spazse vegetation facilitated clear viewing. Particular attention was paid to the periphery of the project area that is covered in small trees, and along the hillside where maps indicate that an 'auwai was once present. No test excavations were conducted. None were warranted based on the results of the surface survey, as explained below. No material remains were collected. 11 CULTURAL MODIFICATIONS There is evidence of cultural modification at the project azea: modem residential occupation comprising the entire project azea (Figure 8). Several concentrations of material remains provide some indication as to how this landscape was used during the recent past, and these aze numbered on Figure 8. 21850 = r ; ~ ~ /Qa + ~ ~ a. a a.` V~ ~ _ . - ~t " . =Material concentration =Previously recorded site ~ r`~ o a m +m X01lIH BWEMfHT ~ 30 meters Figure 8.

There aze large concrete chunks, modem shoes, cut animal bone, plastic pipes, broken china, and other indications of habitation within the house that was standing as recently as 2005 in this location (Figure 9). A second concentration of debris is located in the southern extreme of this area, under the mango trees at the property's edge. Material here includes bricks, cut bone, bottles from the second half of the 20t° century, 55 gallon dnrm, food tins, and jars. These items suggest that this area may have been associated with food storage and/or processing. "~~i`- 'LF~'_ - ~ to ~w,. ~ + i.

There aze 15 marked gravesites in this 13 by 13 meter azea. There may be other unmarked ones. Grave plots vary in shape and construction technique, indicative of changing gravesite styles over time. Dates and names are mazked on only some of the graves, while others lack markings of any kind. The oldest marked grave is for a death in 1907, and the most recent is for a death in 1959. CONCLUSION DISCUSSION The historical documentation associated with the project azea clearly indicate that this area was utilized during the historical period: Mahele data put a resident here in the mid-1830s, the community around here was involved with agriculture and ranching throughout the 1800s, an 'auwai is documented to have passed through here, and the Koki cemetery (which is not within the project area) has tombstones with death dates as eazly as 1901. Consequently, people occupied and utilized the azea during the historical era, and probably prior to that in the pre-Contact era. However, the continued use of the area throughout the modem era, up to 2005 when the house was bulldozed, has altered the place to such an extent that there aze no "intact" azchaeological remains that could be evaluated as being significant. The main household area in the east central portion of the project azea was probably built over a previous household. Similarly, a second eazly household may have existed in the northwestern portion of the project azea (at Areas 3, 4, and 5), but that has been modified with the continued use of that azea up to modem times. 14 There are two eazlier cultural modifications that have not been impacted by continuous household upgrades, but have been modified sometime during over a century's passage: a wall, and the 'auwai. The wall that is oriented roughly north-south in the western third of the project azea has been disturbed to such an extent that it is not clear how it was used. Currently it is an "L" shape, lacking sides that would enclose a space. It is not aligned with LCA, or TMK parcels. Although it is possibly a ranching construct, and consequently dates to circa middle or late 1800s, the lack of integrity of shape, which precludes a clear determination of function (it may have been a kuleana wall, or something else), is such that this is not a significant historical resource. There is no surface indication of an 'auwai within the MOP project azea. There is, however, clear evidence of the `auwai immediately to the north of the project area, and to the south of it. The 'auwai to the north displays an interesting configuration; it "hangs" alongside the sloping hillside. This phenomenon is typical of 'auwai that function to move water azound sloping terrain (cf. Wolforth 2005); the 'auwai is dug into the hillside and follows a path that is perpendiculaz to the sloping elevation. This particulaz 'auwai is clearly visible hanging on the hillside north of the project area, where it abruptly ends at the north boundary of the project azea. Close inspection of the entire eastern side of the project azea indicates that the 'auwai is no longer present here. There aze two reasons that one can expect that, in addition to lacking surface evidence, there is no subsurface evidence of the 'auwai remaining within the project area: 1) it is visible neazby, and 2) the sloping hillside in the project area is smooth. `Auwai is Visible Nearby The fact that this hanging 'auwai is visible neazby indicates that natural erosional processes are not sufficient in and of themselves to obliterate or otherwise disturb the form of the ditch on the hillslope. In other words, if one was to assume that the lack of visible expression of the 'auwai within the project area is due to erosion, then likewise, there should be no visible expression of that same 'auwai to the north and east of the project azea. The correlate of this observation is that the occupants of the project area must have willfully destroyed the 'auwai there. This is a likely scenario, because it would be very advantageous to remove a ditch that would otherwise bring waters directly into a yazd and house that receives potable water from local utilities. The Hillslope is Smooth Where the `Auwai used to be Within the Project Area A hanging `auwai on a hillslope is created by cutting the slope and placing that fill on the downslope side. This creates a wide channel that stands out very clearly from the surrounding terrain. Even if natural erosion took place here, one would see some physical anomaly on the sloping terrain. There aze no obvious or subtle deviations from the slope on this hillside. The complete lack of natural anomaly here is further indication that the 'auwai was willfully destroyed, probably with heavy machinery. The possibility that the 'auwai did not hang on the slope within the project area, and that it occurred elsewhere within the MOP area, was considered. Two points are known for the `auwai beyond the project azea: immediately north of the project boundary, and under the neazby road south of the project area (see Figure 4, and Figure 11). To get water from the last know point in the north to the known point in the south, that water must stay at or near an elevation that is only present on the hillslope within the project area. The water cannot travel down into the flats of the project then up to the other spot, and it cannot travel up the hill then over to that spot. Based on this consideration, the 'auwai must have hung on the hillslope, which would put it behind the house that stood on this property unti12005. 15 ..,p,,:„ p Figure 11.

SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENTS Resources identified during this project were assessed for their significance as outlined in Hawaii Administrative Rules § 13-275-6. To be assessed as significant a site must be characterized by one or more of the following five criteria: A) It must be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, or be considered a traditional cultural property. B) It must be associated with the lives of persons significant in the past. C) It must embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. D) It must have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. E) Have important value to native Hawaiian people or other ethnicities in the state, due to associations with cultural practices and traditional beliefs that were, or still are, carried out. RECOMMENDATIONS While there is some information relevant to the history of Hawaii prior to 50 years ago, that information has been obliterated or obscured to such a degree that is not likely to yield any important information regarding historical developments. Based on the information presented in this report, there are no significant sites within the project area. Although the Koki Cemetery is not on the project area, design elements for the Medical Office Park should include consideration of the access to the cemetery, and maintaining a respectful distance during construction, land alterations, and maintenance of the MOP. 16 REFERENCES CITED Barrera, W.

The project area is an irregular polygon with a westem boundary at Pukalani Road, and the remainder adjacent to existing NHCH lands (Figures 1 and 2). A portion of the southern boundary is adjacent to a small pazcel TMK (3) 6-7-002:10 that is not owned by the NHCH (shown in white in Figure 1). The project area will be grubbed and graded, and landscaped to facilitate the construction of a parking lot, several small buildings, walkways, and a courtyazd associated with the Medica] Office Park.

Part of the assessment centers on the concept of identifying Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) and, if present, determining whether they would be impacted by the project. Traditional Cultural Property means any historic property associated with the traditional practices and beliefs of an ethnic community or members of that community for more than fifty yeazs. These traditions shall be founded in an ethnic corrununity's history and contribute to maintaining the ethnic community's cultural identity. Traditional associations aze those demonstrating a continuity of practice or belief until present or those documented in historical source materials, or both. The origin of the TCP concept is found in National Register Bulletin 38 published by the U.S. Department of Interior-National Park Service. "Traditional" as it is used, implies a time depth of at least 50 years, and a generalized mode of transmission of information from one generation to [he next, either orally or by act. "Cultural" refers to the beliefs, practices, ]ifeways, and social institutions of a given community. The use of the term "Property" defines this category of resource as an identifiable place. Traditional Cultural Properties aze not intangible, i.e., they must have some kind of boundary. TCPs aze subject to the same kind of evaluation as any other historic resource, with one very important exception. By definition, the significance of Traditional Cultural Properties should be detemuned by the community that values them. This CIA includes consideration of the broader concept of cultural practices and beliefs provided in the Nov. 19, 1997 Guidelines for Assessing Cultural /mpacts from the Hawai `i State Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC), which also outlines data sources and methods for consulting individuals and/or organizations with knowledge of the area's cultural resources, practices, and beliefs, or of its historical and natural resources. According to the OEQC guidelines, cultural practices and beliefs subject to assessment may include subsistence, commercial, residential, agricultural, access-related, recreational, and religions and spiritual customs. The types of cultural resources subject to assessment may include traditional cultural properties or other types of historic sites, both man-made and natural, that support such cultural beliefs. The following kinds of data were researched to assess the cultural resources of the project area: traditional literature and histories; Land Commission Award and other Mahele data; archaeology reports; and maps available at the University of Hawaii at Hilo Hawaiian Collection of the Mo`okini Librazy. I did not speak with anyone associated with this small, single family houselot pazcel. I have walked the entire project area at close intervals on several occasions. These data sets are synthesized in the presentation of the cultural history of project area, PHYSICAL SETTING The project area is at approximately 2700 feet about sea level neaz the confluence of Kohala and Mauna Kea flows. Lava flows from these two volcanoes are welt over 10,000 years old (Wolfe and Morris 1996). The fine sand to silty sediment known as Pahala Ash soils cover the project area (Sato et al. 1973:100). Saprolitic boulders and rocks are included within these soils. Mean annual temperatures are in the 60's (Fahrenheit). The winter is colder with temperatures reaching near freezing, especially as experienced with the wind chill factor. Observations that were made and recorded by many during the 19`" and early 20'" centuries indicates that colder weather was more common than it is today (Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:10). The majority of the project area is level. The eastern edge of the project azea is a sloping hillside. Non-native grasses cover most of the azea, with non-native trees along most of the perimeter (Figure 3). 3 56 rv ~'r°cE ~YI Yy w3 J~ irF ~sCo ,a, ~ %.:z ~ ~I~ ~ +>;s. 4. a , Figure 3. Central portion of the project azea. View to East. There is a relative paucity of legendary associations with the Waimea area. This may reflect a corresponding dearth of occupation and use of the area during pre-Contact times, `Olelo about Waimea relate to the relatively inhospitable landscape. Hele po `ala 1 ka anu o Waimea. Going in a circle in the cold of Waimea. Said of a person who goes in circles and gets nowhere. Waimea, Hawaii, is a cold place and when foggy, it is easy for one unfamiliaz with the place to lose his way. [Pulcui 1983:83 #757]. Recent investigations in the Waimea area (Burtchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005) include a reassessment of the available archaeological data to suggest that the area was sparsely inhabited during the pre-Contact times. Paucity of midden remains associated with these localities plus minimal investment in structural features at these sites, implies that residence was relatively short-term, most plausibly associated with agricultural activities infields set off by the field ridges in their near vicinity. While not in itself definitive, charred sweet potato remains recovered from Site 8803 are consistent with use of the fields for production of this commodity. Development of, or intensification in, use of the field system (with concomitant affect on residence) during Kamehameha's stay at Kawaihae is possible, indeed probable. Extant data, however, while consistent with that interpretation, are not sufficiently fine-grained to correlate to the even[ with precision. In any case, data suggest that eazliest residence and agricultural pursuits had ceased by 1802. Subsequent and separate periods of use and abandonment of commercial agriculture and residence followed in the period between 1835 and the early 1900, and is reflected in the project area's more recent historical and archaeological record [Burtchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:117]. 4 ~ r s nos \ aw ~ v i u a. o KYlsn \ w ~m • w Y \ ~ ' Fw~s 'w \ ~ \ we sa ~ M v 1 ~ ~e ~ i ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - ~ ~ ^a C s ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ _ / ~ Project limits and Site limits ~ a~ ~~'Auwai visible on surface ~ ~ • 'Auwai not visible • ~ a ~ ~ ,W NORiH efJilE IN FAT 30 meters Figure 4. `Auwai in the Project Area. 5 Based on the available data, a conservative estimate for the arrival of people in the Waimea is circa 1400s AD (Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005: ] 16). Some radiocarbon dates can be interpreted as indicating an earlier arrival, perhaps as early as the 1100s AD (Gordy 2000:312), or somewhat later in the 1300s AD (Wolforth 1949). Whatever the date of arrival, the manner in which those residents settled and used the land is still a matter to be fully understood, depending upon how one interprets the information regarding the irrigation system, sometimes referred to as the Lalamilo Field System. The extensive network of irrigation ditches (`auwai) over the rolling hills and plains of the Waimea area have been the focus of two data recovery archaeological studies (Clazk and Kirch 1983; Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005), and others have supplied some relevant data (Thompson and Rosendahl 1992; Wolforth 1999) (Figure 5). The early archaeological studies have combined to suggest that the irrigation network and associated agricultural fields were created perhaps as early as the 1300s AD, with a developing complexity that peaked in the 1700s AD (Gordy 2000:312). Recent investigations have resulted in the consideration of a radically different interpretation (Burtchard and Tomonoari Tuggle 2005): that all of the fields were built after the arrival of Europeans to the area, in particulaz in association with the short-lived sugar industry at Waimea in the early 1800s. This new interpretation is well-developed, and incorporates important contextual data such as soil capacity for water retention, and changing climatological patterns during the late historical period in Hawaii. Additional studies are needed to be able to conclude whether it explains the origin and use of the fields appropriately, however. Until that time, it is appropriate to leave the chronology of the irrigation fields open. Oral histories supply information on a significant event that effected those living in the Waimea area during the reign of Lonoikamakahiki, who may have ruled circa 1640 to 1660 AD': the battle of Pu`u`owa`owaka. This battle was an engagement between Maui forces bent on conquest of the island of Hawaii and the armies defending Hawaii (Fomander 1996:123; Kamakau 1992:58). The Maui forces were led by Kamalalawalu, and the ruler of Hawaii at that time was Lonoikamakahiki. Kamalalawalu's wamor fleet landed at Puako. The local Waimea chief Kanaloauo (Kanaloakuaana in Fomander 1996; Kanaloa-kua`ana, son of Keawe-nut-a-`Umi in Kamakau 1992:58) marched down from Waimea to engage the Maui forces knowing the futility of their situation (Fomander 1996:123). His forces were completely overwhelmed by the Maui army at Puako. On his way inland Kamalalawalu encountered two local alt `i, Kumaikeau and Kumakaia (one was named Puhau-kole in Kamakau 1992:58). These two men feigned allegiance to Kamalalawalu, providing the Maui aggressor with false information regarding the best tactics to engage the Hawaiian forces, and indicating that the locals would welcome Kamalalawalu's advance. Kamalalawalu was so encouraged by these devices that he even acted on their recommendation to destroy all of his own canoes to prevent the certain-to-be defeated Hawaiian forces from using them in their retreat. Ultimately Kama was led to the eventual battlefield by their advice that "Lonoikamakahiki is your sure prey. There is the place he may be killed by you; that hill upland of Waimea, Hokuula by name. Once you stand thereon with your wamors, your duty will be simply to roll the rocks from above" (Elbert 1959:188). "The battlefield of Fu`oa`oaka was outside of the grassy plain of Waimea, but the men of Hawaii were afraid of being taken captive by Kama, so they led to the waterless plain lest Maui's wamors find water and hard, waterworn pebbles. The men of Hawaii feared that the Maui wamors would find water to drink and become stronger for the slinging of stones that would fall like raindrops from the sky" (Kamakau ]992:58-59). ' See Gordy (2000:84) for a discussion of alternative chronologies for island genealogies. 6 °•Iae It f' I ~v .••ulj;~ a.. iccy K.

Irrigation Ditches Associated with the Project Area (adapted from Wolforth 1999). The Hawaiian forces overwhelmed those from Maui, pursuing them to ]?uako, slaughtering the retreating Maui army along the way. They ultimately perished on the coast next to their broken canoes (Elbert 1959; Kamakau 1992). Land Commission Awards There is one Land Commission Award (LCA) for this project area: Number 4037 (Appendix A). The claimant for LCA 4037 was Anthony D. Allen, also known as Milika`a. According to the testimony associated with this lot, Milika`a lived on that 3.83 acres of land with two houses within an unspecified kind of enclosure over an unspecified portion of the lot. Anthony D. Allen's father was a freed slave that became a successful businessman in Honolulu. (Stewart 1970:157). "Allen, Sr, died in 1835 and was buried in Waimea" (Burchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:A-3). 7 There is no mention of other modifications to the land. There are several other houselots with multiple residents within enclosures within a mile radius of the project azea in the LCA documentation (Burtchazd and Tomonari Tuggle 2005:37). These aze very similar in size and content to the one within the project area. Previous Archaeology Many archaeological investigations have been conducted within this large ahupua`a that ranges from the Kohala Mountains, the slopes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, to along the shoreline from Kawaihae to `Anaeho`omalu Bay. They have been concentrated in several areas of Waikoloa: along the coast, in Waimea, and in the northern portion of the ahupua'a between the coast and Waimea (Table 1). The results of these investigations in conjunction with the traditional history of the area provide data sufficient to construct an outline of cultural developments in the region and their chronology. Archaeological remains within inland caves suggests that the initial occupation of the Waikoloa area may have occurred as early as A.D. 780 (Jensen 1989). The presence of small modified lava blisters near the coast with tools and food debris indicates that by A.D. 900 (Kirch 1975, 1979) people were coming to the azea to extract marine resources. More permanent and continuous use of the coast is reflected in the construction of fish ponds and larger habitation structures by A.D. 1200 (Welch 1989). Population increased and the social structure became more complex (Eazle 1978; Cordy 2000). Settlements were dispersed along the entire Waikoloa coast with concentrations of people, and features reflecting more intensive resource extraction (i.e. fishponds and salt pans) and places of political power (i.e, heaiu) at `Anaeho`omalu, Kalahuipua`a, Lalamilo, Puako, and Kawaihae. During the centuries of sustained permanent occupation in Waikoloa from the 1300s through the late 1700s, trails were built to facilitate movement of people along the shoreline, between higher and lower elevations, and between villages (Barrera 1971; Ching 1971; Rosendahl 1972; Walker and Rosendahl 1986 Trails connecting to the shoreline have been observed to be directly in line with previously unsurveyed areas within the Saddle Road Extension project azea. An older trail pazalleling the ocean was subsequently built over in the historical era by the Kiholo-Puako, or "King's Trail" (Cordy 1995; Walker and Rosendahl 1986). Natural lava tubes were modified to accommodate people during times of warfare, and for places to work and inter the dead (Berrera 1971; Donham 1986). In addition, there is one named cave that marks a place along the border between Kohala and Kona. A series of paved platforms situated approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) inland from `Anaeho`omalu have been interpreted as burial features (Jensen and Burgett 1991). Although an absence of azchaeological excavations in those features leaves [hat proposition untested, the size, shape and especially the fine paving and construction of the architecture makes that a likely proposition. The rationale for the situation of multiple burial platforms so faz from habitation areas and other utilized areas, and their scattered, seemingly random placement on the rough lava is unknown at this time. Many of the azchaeological investigations have recorded quarry and manufacture areas for abraders (cf, Ching 1971; Kirch 7979; Jensen and Donham 1988). These aze evident in small pits in the lava, often with pieces of bedrock moved from the inside to the rim of the pit. There aze also grooves and shallow lines in the bedrock that appear to have been created by rubbing pieces of rock against the bedrock, most likely to shape the quamed rock. Some of the outcrops contain a rough, scotiaceous lava that is particularly well-suited as raw material for abrading tools Petroglyphs were created along the shoreline trail (Cox and Stasack 1990). Some were pecked into the smoothed basins created in the abrader manufacture process (Cordy 2000:232). Battles were 8 Table 1. Previous Archaeolo ical Studies in the Ahu ua'a.

The development of the region as a place of power culminated in the enhancement of the Pu`ukohola Heiau by Kamehameha in the late 1700s, and the consecration of the remodeled heiau with the death of Keoua (Desha 2000; Kamakau 1996; Malo 1951). The greatest concentration of population settlement in Waikoloa was at Waimea (Hommon 1982; Kirch 1975). The Mauna Kea soils were enhanced for cultivation with water from the Kohala Mountains via a network of channels referred to as the Lalamilo Field System (Clark and Kirch 1983). Based on 9 several sources of data, it appears that the channel network was created during the late 12'" century (Clark 1983; Wolforth 1999), although recent evaluations of the context and radiocarbon dates suggests that the field system may be a historical development (Burtchard and Tomonari Tuggle 2005). Permanent population has continued in Waimea to date, while the field system was abandoned after transformation for alien cultivated species in the mid-1800s (McEldowney 1983). There is evidence that a type of floodwater farming occurred within the barren zone that was dependent on intermittent seasonal flows of surface water (Rosendahl 1972). Several small agricultural features were identified within the narrow Kamakoa Gulch (Jensen and Burgett (1991), and similar features identified neaz the base of Pu`u Hinai (Bevacqua 1971). These areas aze not far from the "Aina Mahi" just upslope from Pu`u Hinai noted in the historical map Based on the size and configuration of the ahupua'a of Waikoloa, it is assumed that people within Waikoloa had direct access to the cultivated fields of Waimea and the mazine, grass, and lava resources at lower elevations and along the coast. At the ]east, it is expected that these resources were moved and exchanged between the coast and population concentration at Waimea. Data recovery work was conducted in the lands surrounding the MOP project area (Burtchard and Tomonori Tuggle 2005) (Figure 6). Site 21850 is the BrightlSpencer Lot that was first used as a habitation in the 1850s. There is a small 'auwai that was used to supply water to that residential azea. Site 21851 is a platform terrace at the location of a habitation for the Spencer family. It was occupied in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Site 21866 is a stone wall enclosure with residence that dates to circa 1920. Site 21872 is a kuleana lot area, that is curzently covered with fill. Based on the archaeological and historical data and the particular physical setting of the project area, one 'auwai is expected within the project area. In addition, the LCA associated with the project azea indicates that there was a residence here as early as the middle 1800s. The area was also inhabited until very recently (Figure 7). Habitation features associated with the recent occupation are expected, and these may obscure evidence of eazlier use and habitation. The azchaeological investigation for this project area identified the remains of a houselot that was lived in until as recently as 2005. There is evidence of cultural modification at the project area: modem residential occupation comprising the entire project area (Figure 8). Several concentrations of material remains provide some indication as to how this landscape was used during the recent past, and these are numbered on Figure 8. The bulldozed remains of the main house and outbuildings (1) are situated at the eastern end of the driveway. There are large concrete chunks, modern shoes, cut animal bone, plastic pipes, broken china, and other indications of habitation within the house that was standing as recently as 2005 in this location. A second concentration of debris is located in the southern extreme of this area, under the mango trees at the property's edge. Material here includes bricks, cut bone, bottles from the second half of the 20`" century, 55 gallon drum, food tins, and jars. These items suggest that this area may have been associated with food storage and/or processing. There are three material concentrations along the northern periphery of the property. Tires, a wheel barrow, plastic buckets, wood boxes with nailed on tin, and plastic pipes (4) are reminiscent of small animal husbandry, perhaps for roosters. Remains associated with another home, such as a modem washer and drier, toys, and kitchen utensils and appliances are scattered along the northern project edge (5). This may also represent the homestead's dump area. A rusted, circa early 1450s buck rests in the northeast project area (6). 10 . i - ~ _ ,F ~~l-~~4: Jul;' : , Lyon s'Auu'ai ~,CZ-.1q, r~% - r 9179 - ' ' r~ 91_9 _ 1 ,u ;~-tip-' -J f:-:'~ s i.

Some kind of shed with a tin roof was situated neaz the driveway (2). Tires, cut bone, and milled wood are present there. Another shed {3) is situated along a wall. Milled wood, corrugated tin, and a sink suggest that food processing may have taken place in this location. There are two material scatters east beyond the project area. A bottle dump, with bottles less than 50 years old, is situated along a wall (7). Corrugated [in, and metal "poles" (fallen) here (8) suggest that some kind of out building was located here. Another rusted car, circa 1960s, is located south of the house azea (9). 12 zu.~ . . ~ ~ ~ ~ a ~ m: i '~l~ N _ i_. ~ i ~ _ ~ \ ~ \ ~ ~ 0 ~ ~ t d _a R. _ Sip ~ j ~ ~ ~ a \ ~ \ ` ~ / ~ / / ~a~ Y~~ ~ ~ 5 _ a~ O =Material concentration ~ =Previously recorded site ~ p ]5 5O 100 ` a~w~ 3~~ Figure 8. Material Concentrations in the Project Area. Koki Cemetery The Koki Cemetery is situated adjacent to [he south of the project azea (see Figure 8). It is separated from the project azea by a wire fence. There are 15 marked gravesites in this 13 by 13 meter area. There may be other unmarked ones. Grave plots vary in shape and constmction technique, 13 indicative of changing gravesite styles over time. Dates and names are marked on only some of the graves, while others lack markings of any kind. The oldest marked grave is for a death in 1907, and the most recent is for a death in 1959. DISCUSSION The historical documentation associated with the project area clearly indicate that this area was utilized during the historical period: Mahele data put a resident here in the mid-1830s, the community around here was involved with agriculture and ranching throughout the 1800s, an 'auwai is documented to have passed through here, and the Koki cemetery (which is not within the project area) has tombstones with death dates as early as 1901. Consequently, people occupied and utilized the azea during the historical era, and probably prior to that in the pre-Contact era. However, the continued use of the azea throughout the modem era, up to 2005 when the house was bulldozed, has altered the place to such an extent that there are no "intact" archaeological remains that could be evaluated as being significant. The main household area in the east central portion of the project area was probably built over a previous household. Similarly, a second early household may have existed in the northwestern portion of the project area (at Areas 3, 4, and 5), bu[ that has been modified with the continued use of that area up to modem times. There are two earlier cultural modifications that have not been impacted by continuous household upgrades, but have been modified sometime during over a century's passage: a wall, and the 'auwai. The wall that is oriented roughly north-south in the western third of the project azea has been disturbed to such an extent that it is not clear how it was used. Currently it is an "L" shape, lacking sides that would enclose a space. It is not aligned with LCA, or TMK parcels. Although it is possibly a ranching constmct, and consequently dates to circa middle or late 1800s, the lack of integrity of shape, which precludes a clear determination of function (it may have been a kuleana wall, or something else), is such that this is not a significant historical resource. There is no surface indication of an `auwai within the MOP project area. There is, however, clear evidence of the `auwai immediately to the north of the project area, and to the south of it. The `auwai to the north displays an interesting configuration; it "hangs" alongside the sloping hillside. This phenomenon is typical of `auwai that function to move water around sloping terrain (cf. Wolforth 2005); the `auwai is dug into the hillside and follows a path that is perpendicular to the sloping elevation. This particular 'auwai is clearly visible hanging on the hillside north of the project area, where it abruptly ends at the north boundazy of the project area. Close inspection of the entire eastern side of the project azea indicates that the `auwai is no longer present here. ASSESSMENT OF TCP CULTURAL PRACTICES, AND ARCHAEOLOGY TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTIES Typical examples of Traditional Cultural Properties include mountain tops associated with deities, groves of sacred trees specifically associated with a significant cultural practice, beliefs about the sacredness of certain areas, and important historic or legendary sites such as battlefields, and other locations with these kinds of associations. Based on written accounts of legend and history, the Mahele records and maps, and the archaeological work, there are no Traditional Cultural Properties present in the project area. CULTURAL RESOURCES AND PRACTICES Examples of Hawaiian cultural practices include: gathering of subsistence items; commercial activities; loci of recreation, habitation, and agriculture; use of pathways to resources; and places where 14 religions and spiritual customs are conducted. Based on consultation of oral history, written accounts of legend and history, the Mahele records and maps, and archaeological studies, there are several things to consider regarding cultural resources and practices within the project area. The lot is a recently vacated homestead. A modern house, with modern conveniences was recently bulldozed. Abandoned cars and trash are scattered azound the property. Based on this situation, there are no cultural practices that take place directly on this property. There is, however, a cultural practice that occurs adjacent to the south of this property: visitation of an old cemetery. The Koki Cemetery has been used at least since 1907, and probably earlier. The cemetery continues to be tended. Although the cemetery is not in the project area, vehicular access to the cemetery passes through the MOP project area (see Figure 4). IMPACT TO CULTURAL PRACTICES There will be no negative impacts to cultural practices on the project area property. There is a potential for an impact to the practice of visiting the Koki Cemetery. The project design is for low density, small buildings in a landscaped setting. So long as the project design includes access to the Koki Cemetery, there will be no negative impacts to the practice of visiting the Koki Cemetery. REFERENCES CITED Barrera, W.

O. Box 637 Pahoa, Hawaii 96778 January 2007 Contents Section Page Introduction 1 Field Methodology 1 Results 2 Conclusions 3 References 4 Plant Species Encountered 5 Introduction We conducted a botanical survey of certain lands in Waimea, Island of Hawaii as part of planning studies for a proposed expansion of North Hawaii Community Hospital. The area surveyed consisted of 4.75 acres (TMK 6-7-02: 20) and an adjacent .15 acre portion of TMK 6-7- 02: 51 (Figures 1 and 2). The site is presently abandoned pasture land and what remains of the yard of an old house that has now been demolished. The purpose of this survey was to: de- scribe the botanical features present on the site; conduct a field survey for rare and endangered plants and unique or sensitive habitats; and identify any botanical resource issues requiring planning consideration. The results of the field surveys are presented in this report. Field Methodology Botanical field surveys were conducted as follows: The botanical field team (Rex Palmer, Ph.D. and field assistants) carried out a 100% visual survey of the project azea. Bo- tanical resources found during the field surveys, including botanically rare plants, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) designated plant species (USFWS Listed Endangered, USFWS' Threatened, USFWS Candidate, and USFWS Species Of Concern plants) and any sensitive or unique habitats or vegetation types were documented. All rare plants, USFWS designated ~ t x _ 'o` :e'.

General location of TMKs surveyed (black square) in Waimea, Hawaii Island. 1 plants, and sensitive habitats found during the surveys were located by GPS coordinates, pho- tographed, mapped, and described in the report. Field surveys were conducted on December 21, 2006. Plant nomenclature follows Wagner, et al (1999) for flowering plants. Staples and Herbst (2005) and Neil (1965) were used for names of cultivated plants and some weeds. Results No endangered or rare plants were found in either of the two TMKs and neither TMK contains unique or sensitive habitats. Both TMKs are highly modified from their pristine con- dition, with the original native vegetation having been removed many years ago. Most of the area surveyed is former pasture and is covered in a dense sod of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum). Trees, consisting mostly of black wattle (Acacia mearnsii) and Christmas berry (Schinus terebinthifolius) occur on the edges of the parcel. An old planting of Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) forms a windbreak in the north east corner of TMK 6-7-02: 20 (Figure 3). These cypress trees could be incorporated into future landscaping. The remainder of the flora is almost entirely alien, introduced weeds. A few cultivated plants occur around the site of the now removed house. Also in the former house yard is a planted indig- enous sea bean (Mucuna gigantea). a~n+PY nt:ew NNrx C..yw wm • ~ wa ~ ~ L1 "r i. j - an@_eM.Fis was 1 ~il~• z J~ ~rt ~ ~ ~ r~: _~V ~ # ~`_Y ~ ~ f r a r .5:~:. 1 ~ _ ~ .'..ice-r +~n..s~s.~ ~~Lt~ ~ 'yL Figure 2.

Both TMKs are highly disturbed and modified from their pristine condition, and there is essentially no native vegetation on either TMK. The only even partially valuable botanical resource on the site is the old planting of Monterey Cypress that could be maintained as part of new landscaping. We conclude that the proposed project will have no significant negative effects on botanical resources, native habitats or rare and endangered plants. . ~w; ri~ .i ~9 f r ~w r'_` ; ,~s ~F: Figure 3.

Bruner Environmental Consultant Faunal (Bird & Mammal) surveys #1775 BYUH 55-220 Kulanui street Laie, HI 96762 ]0 January 2007 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide the findings of a bird and mammal field survey of an approximate 4.2 acre site (TMK 6-7-002:20, portion of 5 ])conducted on 3, 4 January 2007 at North Hawaii Community Hospital, Waimea, Island of Hawaii. The goals of the survey were: 1- To document the species of birds and mammals currently on the property. 2- To examine the entire site and neazby lands for the purpose of identifying any important natural resources available to wildlife at this location. 3- To devote special attention to documenting the presence and possible use of this property by native and migratory species particulazly those that are listed as threatened or endangered. SITE DESCRIPTION This 4.2 acre site is presently covered in grass and a mix of alien trees and shrubs. Surrounding lands include pastures, North Hawaii Community Hospital and a shopping center. -2- SURVEY PROTOCOL The field survey was conducted on foot over two days (3, 4 January 2007) to allow for eazly morning and late a$emoon-evening observations. All birds seen or heazd were noted. Observations of mammals were limited to visual sightings and evidence in the form of tracks. The evening of 3 January 2007 was used to seazch for the presence of the endangered Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus semorus). A Pettersson Elektronik AB Ultrasound Detector D 100 was employed to listen for echolocating bats at several locations on and around the property. Weather during the survey was very windy with light passing showers. Detection of vocalizing birds was difficult due to the strong wind. Most observations were visual. The scientific names used in this report follow Pyle (2002) and Honacki et al. (1982). These sources provide the current names found in the scientific literature. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Native land Birds: No native land birds were recorded. The only possible native species that might on occasion forage in and aoound in this azea are the Hawaiian or Short-eazed Owl -3 (Asiollammeus sandwichensis), known as Pueo in Hawaiian and the 10 or Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius). These species hunt in a variety of habitats including forests, agricultural lands and grasslands (Pratt et al. 1987, Hawaii Audubon Society 2005). Pueo are not listed as endangered or threatened on the Island of Hawaii, however, the State of Hawaii does list them as endangered on Oahu. The Io is federally listed as an endangered species and is only found on the Island of Hawaii. Seabirds: No seabirds were seen on this survey. None would be expected to nest or roost at this site due to the presence of ground predators and human disturbance. Migratory Birds: The only migratory shorebird recorded on the survey was the Pacific Golden- Plover or Kolea (PluviaZis fulva). Two Kolea were seen on or near the property. This species has been extensively studied on its wintering grounds in Hawaii and on its breeding territories in western Alaska (Johnson et al. 1981, 1989, 1993, 2001 a, 2001b) Kolea are not listed as threatened or endangered. Alien Birds: A total of 15 species of alien (non-native, introduced) birds were tallied over the duration of the survey. None of these species are listed as threatened or endangered. -4- Table One gives the names and relative abundance of each species. No unexpected species were recorded, however, at least four alien species which also likely occur in this area were not detected. These four species aze: Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus); Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis); Barn Owl (Tyro alba); and Nutmeg Mannikin (Lonchura punctulata). Mammals: One Small Indian Mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) and Goat (Capra hircus) scat were discovered on the survey. The endangered Hawaiian Hoazy Bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) was not recorded on the evening seazch using the ultrasound detector. This mammal ranges widely on the ]sland of Hawaii from the coast to upper elevation forests as well as urban area. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The emphasis of this field survey was to document the birds and mammals on and azound TMK 6-7-002:20, portion of 51. No native birds were recorded on the survey. The Hawaiian Owl or Pueo and Hawaiian Hawk or Io could forage on occasion at this site. I know of no published data on their frequency of occurrence at this location. The Pacific Golden-Plover or Kolea was the only migrant seen on the survey. No other -5- migrants would be expected at this site. The only mammals detected were the Small Indian Mongoose and Goat. The endangered Hawaiian Hoary bat was not found but could on occasion forage and roost in this area. The alien birds tallied on the survey were those typically found in this region. -6- TABLE ONE Alien (introduced) species of birds found on a 3, 4 January 2007 field survey of TMK 6- 7-002:20, Waimea, Island of Hawaii.

Pukalani Road Extension, a collector road proposed to be dedicated to the County, serves the subject property by way of an easement over Paroe151. Pukalani Road Extension has not been extended to dedicable standards along the entire frontage of the subject property. DPW generally recommends such improvements with curb gutter and sidewalk along the property frontage. However that frontage does not appear to be awned by the applicant. Because those improvements by the property owner may be required under other approvals and such dedicable improvements are existing to and include the proposed access, we defer to the Planning Director. Should such condition be deemed appropriate, the applicant shall provide full improvements to the entire frontage of Pukalani Road Extension, consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any relocation of utilities; meeting with the approval of the DPW. The applicant shall construct all improvements and ded'ICate it to the County upon request. Install streetlights, signs and markings meeting with the approval of the DPW, Traffic Division. Any utility poles in the road right-of-way shall be installed as shown on DPW Standard Detail R-35 (Revised). The applicant shall provide any necessary easements for installation of such utilities. 2. The applicant shall provide the necessary street signs and markings on Pukalani Road to provide a dedicated left tum Zane opposing the existing tum lane markings to the shopping center. Review and approval of such plans to County dedicable standards by DPW TRF Division is required as a condition of any building permit approval. The left tum lane signs and markings shall be installed as a condition for approval of any certificate of occupancy for the subject property. TRAFFIC We reviewed the Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) by Julian Ng, Inc., dated January 2007. The report identified an existing LOS E deficiency at the intersection of Pukalani Road and Mamalahoa Highway. This intersection is included in the Waimea Traffic Circulation Study currently in progress. The deficiency is noted and should be addressed in the Context of improvements recommended and funded under that project. Should there be any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact Kiran Emler of our Kona Engineering Division office at 327-3530.

ROADWAYS 1. The project site includes approximately 174 feet of frontage onto the future Pukulani Road corridor. Of this frontage, Pukulani Road has been improved for approximately 40 feet of the frontage, with the balance unimproved. NHCH proposes to provide access to the subject site from its existing 24-foot-wide driveway on an adjoining parcel and leading directly to improved portions of Pukulani Road. Please seethe attached diagram. Pukulani Road will ultimately connect Mamalahoa Highway to a future Connector Road being constructed by Parker Ranch. The Pukulani Road corridor includes both an improved portion on a private road lot (approx. 850 ft. length, owned by Parker Ranch), and an unimproved portion (Pukulani Road extension, approx. 845 ft. length) consisting of two flagpole lots (TMK 6-7-02: 1 & 69, owned by Parker Ranch and the existing Holoholo Ku residential development). The unimproved portion presently consists of a single driveway straddling the two flagpole lots, providing access to the existing Holoholo Ku residential development and other Parker Ranch facilities. Holoholo Ku is a recently completed 44-unit single family condominium development on former Parker Ranch lands. As noted in DPW's memo, the Pukulani Road corridor consists entirely of land not owned by NHCH. In recent discussions with Parker Ranch, which owns or controls all of the land for the Pukulani Road corridor (including improved and unimproved portions), NHCH confirmed that it is Parker Ranch's intent to complete the Pukulani Road extension, in conjunction with recent development, such as Holoholo Ku, and future planned development on its entitled lands. NHCH recognizes that DPW is leaving to the Planning Director the discretion to place requirements on NHCH to upgrade the project site's frontage onto the unimproved portions of Pukulani Road. As the site's frontage onto the unimproved portion of the corridor represents less than 1/5 of the overall length of the Pukulani Road extension, it may be more practical for the frontage to be improved at the same time as the fill extension is completed by Parker Ranch. Until the extension is completed, the project site would enjoy direct access to the improved Pukulani Road through NHCH's recently completed 24-foot-wide driveway entrance, as reflected in the attached exhibit. Mr. Christopher J. Yuen August 7, 2007 2005.33.3001 / 07P-303 Page 3 2. Pukulani Road is a 60-foot right-of--way that has been completed to dedicable standards up to the project site, including NHCH's main driveway entrance from Pukulani Road (see attached exhibit). NHCH's driveway entrance is situated directly opposite a driveway entrance to the Parker Ranch Shopping Center. Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks have been provided for the improved portions of Pukulani Road, extending on both sides of the road, from Mamalahoa Highway past NHCH's driveway and Parker Ranch Shopping Center driveway entrances. The existing improved portion of Pukulani Road is atwo-way undivided road with a 10-foot-wide center tum lane (striped median) and 18-foot lanes in each direction. The curb-to-curb width is 46 feet, As requested, and at the time of development, NHCH can provide the necessary street signs and markings on Pukulani Road to provide alert-turn lane into its existing driveway (opposing the existing turn lane markings to the shopping center), understanding that sufficient pavement width exists within the improved portions of Pukulani Road to do so. TRAFFIC We acknowledge the existing LOS status of the Pukulani Road/Mamalahoa Highway intersection, as well as the ongoing Waimea Tcaffic Circulation Study, which is examining regional traffic patterns and regional impacts within localized intersections in the Waimea town center area.

The proposed medical office building at NHCH (may be referred to herein as the planned development or the NHCH project) will be located near to the existing NHCH facilities in Kamuela, Hawaii (Tax Map Key: 6-7-002: Por 020). The proposed medical office building development area consists of approximately 3.07 acres of undeveloped, situated just south of the existing hospital (TMK 6-7-002: 013) near to Mamalahoa Highway and the Parker Ranch Shopping Center. Access to the NHCH medical office building will be from Mamalahoa Highway and Pukalani Road. The planned development will consist of a single medical office building which will include doctors' offices as well as space for other health and wellness service organizations. Use of the NHCH medical office building will be for the general public seeking services of the NHCH. SOLID WASTE GENERATION According to the Hawai i County Code, solid waste (also known as rubbish) is defined as "any rejected material including paper and cardboard cartons, straw, excelsior, rags, clothes, shoes....and any other material of similar character". If not properly managed, solid waste can have serious negative effects on the environment which could potentially lead to various public health problems. The County of Hawaii (County) therefore requires solid waste to be removed from any building or premise and disposed of at an approved solid waste disposal facility. Quantities of solid waste were estimated for both construction and operation phases of the planned development. The "construction phase" of development is anticipated to be in 2010 when the planned facility at NHCH will be under construction. The "operations phase" of development refers to the time at which the facility has been constructed and is open for use. CONSTRUCTION PHASE As previously mentioned, construction of the proposed development is anticipated to start in mid-2010 and be completed in that same year. Projected building floor areas were used to estimate the amount of solid waste generated during construction (Tables 1 and 2). A range of 3.0 to 5.2 pounds (Ibs) of construction waste per square foot (ft2) of building Floor area was used to estimate the amount of solid waste generated by construction activities (Reference 4). TABLE 1: BUILDING FLOOR AREA Building Area ( ) Medical Office 16,800 t TABLE 2: CONSTRUCTION WASTE GENERATION RATES Year (tons I year) Building Description 2010 Medical Office 25 - 44 N es: 1. All calculations, except the existing structure, are basetl on (3.0 IbsAtT) x (area of building) x (number o/ buildings constmcteWyear) to (5.2 /bsRt=) x (area o/ building) x (number olbuildings constructed/year). Pounds were multiplied by 5 x 10' (or 12000) to convert to tons. 2. Calculation of construction waste is basetl on the assumption that the construction period will occur from mitl-2010 through the end o/ 2010. Belt Goilins Hawaii Ltd. 1 July 2007 NORTH HAWAII COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN Table 3 presents an estimate of the construction waste components based upon a typical composition. It is recognized that the actual composition of construction waste will vary according to the material selected for the facility, but Table 3 can be used as a guide.

A solid waste generation of 6.2 Ibs per person per day was applied (Reference 1). Hours of operation are expected to be from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, with more limited hours (assumed 8:00 am to 12:00 pm) of operation on Saturdays and Sundays. Table 4 provides population and residential solid waste estimates for full occupancy in 2010 and beyond.

Belt Collins Hawaii Ltd. 2 July 2007 NORTH HAWAII COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN The composition of wastes generated during the operations at the planned development is based upon the 1993 Hawai i Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan as well as a 2003 Oahu Waste Composition Study (References 2 and 7). Table 5 includes waste composition proportions anticipated at the proposed development. Management of these wastes is discussed in the following section.

ExclusNe of medical waste. 2. Calculations based on annual waste generated. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Solid wastes generated by and recycled materials from the project will be collected and deposited at State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) permitted facilities. Solid wastes will be managed in conformance with the applicable DOH and Hawaii County requirements. Arrangements for construction waste recycling and disposal will be formalized once the planned development's construction scheduled is finalized. Likewise, arrangements for operations waste recycling and disposal will be formalized when the planned development is constructed and occupied. CONSTRUCTION PHASE Table 2 shows the amount of construction waste that is expected to be generated during the construction of the NHCH office building project in 2010. The primary method of reducing (or mitigating) the amount of construction waste to be hauled offsite is recycling. The following items or materials will be recycled to the extent practicable: green waste (processed and used on site), wood waste (processed with green waste when practical, depending on type of wood and ability to chip, and used on site), cardboard (recycled off site), and metals (recycled off site). The remaining categories of wastes (i.e., drywall, other) may be recyced if a local recycling vendor is available. Otherwise, these non-recyclable wastes will be hauled to the landfill. The construction waste that may be diverted or recycled is shown in Table 6. Remaining waste which cannot be diverted or recycled will likely be hauled to the landfill.

HABiT, 2000. 2. Calculations based on annual waste generated. OPERATIONS PHASE The primary method of reducing (or mitigating) the amount of operations waste to be hauled offsite is recycling. To the extent practicable, the planned development will arrange for green waste (e.g., yard waste) generated during grounds keeping be collected and processed for use as soil amendment on the site. Green wastes that cannot be processed on site wNl be minimized and recyGed offsite or hauled to the landfill as appropriate. Future arrangements for recycling collection (aluminum, paper, newspaper, glass, and plastic containers) in building areas, and waste hauling for the remainder of waste that is not readily recyclable, will be made. The wastes associated with commercial activities will also be recycled (likely to include cardboard, paper, glass, and plastic containers). Specialized materials associated with grounds keeping (e.g., pesticides and fertilizers) will be used according to accepted practices (i.e., pesticide rinsate will be used as product, and fertilizer will be used up or incorporated into green waste processing at the site). Specialized materials associated with maintenance and industrial activities (e.g., motor oil and solvents) will be recycled when possible or disposed according to accepted practices for the County. Medical waste produced by operations at the NHCH project will be considered "speciallhazardous waste". The DOH defines medical waste as "all the infectious and injurious waste originating from a medical, veterinary, or intermediate care facility" The NHCH currently sterilizes all of its medical waste prior to disposal, meeting DOH, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Medical waste produced by the NHCH project will be sent to the hospital for disposal in the same manner. The anticipated recycled waste composition for non-medical operations is shown in Table 7. Hawaii County's recycling rate is approximately 27 percent (Reference 6). The County intends to increase recycling efforts and has set a goal of approximately 45 percent in 2009. Given the Countys goal and the associated opportunities for recycling of materials, a recycling rate of q0 percent is considered achievable for the NHCH project. Based on the planned development having a recycling rate equivalent to that measured by the County, approximately 6 tons per year of operational waste will be diverted or recycled once the facility is occupied. All other organic and inorganic categories of waste would likely be hauled to the landfill. Contracts with licensed private recyclers and waste haulers will be executed to ensure proper waste disposal is implemented. As noted above, green waste will be processed and used on site as soil amendment to the extent practical. Processing of green waste may involve chipping and passive composting of organic waste, resulting in soil amendment for use on NHCH grounds.

Calculation based on tote! operations waste (Table 5) -total deeded operations waste {Table 7). Belt Collins Hawaii Ltd. 5 Juiy 2007 NORTH HAWAII COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN Trucks will most likely be used to haul construction and operations waste to either a local recycling vendor, for diverted waste, or to the West Hawai i Landfill, for landfilled waste. For both construction and operations waste the number of trucks is expected to be on an on-call basis, meaning that less than one truck per month will be required for both diverted and landfilled waste. The truck route to the West Hawaii Landfill will most likely be from Pukalani Road and Mamalahoa Highway onto Kawaihae Road then along Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway. The truck route to the local recycling vendor (anticipated to be Pacific Waste Inc. in Waimea, HI) will most likely be along Mamalahoa Hwy onto Kamamalu Street to Fire Road 11. According to the 2002 Updated Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan for the County, the Pu'uanahulu Landfill is estimated to have 12 million cubic yards of air space which is enough to accommodate the waste generated by West Hawaii for approximately the next 40 years (Reference 1). In 2000, approximately 90,000 tons of waste was deposited at this landfill. Using this quantity of waste, the annual percent waste increase to the West Hawaii Landfill from the NHCH project was estimated to be 0.033 percent. It should be noted that the objectives for waste diversion for both construction and operations at the NHCH project are based upon the assumption that private companies in the vicinity of the development can be contracted to either directly recycle materials on the island of Hawai i or to economically ship materials to recycling markets elsewhere in Hawaii, the U.S, mainland, or international countries. If recycling vendors are not immediately available for all materials intended to be recycled, some of these materials may be hauled to the County's landfill.

Yuen Director Planning Department County of Hawaii 101 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 Hilo, Hawaii 96720-3043 Dear Mr. Yuen: Subject: North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) State Land Use Boundary Amendment Application (SLU 07-000015) and Change of Zone Application (REZ 07-000068), Medical Office Building TMK: 6-7-2: 20 and portion 51 Thank you for your transmittal requesting our comments on the proposed project to develop a 16,800 square foot medical office building, as reflected in the subject application(s), which would include doctors' offices and space for other health and wellness service organizations such as the Waimea Women's Center, that will provide services to support ongoing activities at the NHCH. Our comments are as follows: 1. While the proposed action to develop a medical office building may not have a significant impact on our State highway facilities in the area, we believe it is part of the NHCH master plan and as such, it should be reflected in the subject application's Traffic Assessment Report (TA). The TA should be updated to reflect the cumulative impact of traffic generated by the NHCH, including the proposed medical office building, and to identify required mitigation measures, 2. The existing traffic conditions in Waimea is described in the TA as being congested for most of the day and with the addition of the subject project, traffic will likely increase. The applicant should be responsible for implementing traffic improvements to mitigate project impacts and participate in and contribute its share towards implementing highway intersection and/or regional roadway improvements to mitigate the impacts determined by our Department DOT and/or the County. q ! 1 w tY M Mr. Christopher J. Yuen STP 8.2567 Page 2 August 6, 2007 3. The TA references the Waimea Traffic Circulation Study. We understand this study is still on-going and is being managed through the County. The applicant's TA recommendations for roadway improvements should be consistent with the findings of the Waimea Traffic Circulation Study. 4. We request that the County coordinate the recommendations for roadway and intersection improvements contained in the Waimea Traffic Circulation Study with our Highways Division for consistency with our DOT highways plans for roadway and intersection improvements in the area, including the Waimea Bypass. We ap eciat e opportunity to provide comments. Very y o s, BARRY FUK GA Director of Tr ortation
