Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 169-04, reports as follows
Resolution No. 169-04, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication
No. 547, dated March 1, 2004, authorizes the grant of easement for retaining wall purposes at
Kona Heights subdivision, Increment II. FP 1072 Hienaloli 5'" & 6`~. North Kona, Island,
County and State of Hawaii Tax Map Key No. (3) 7-5-29: Portion of Aloha Kona Drive and

The County of Hawaii is the owner of that certain roadway parcel located in the Kona I Ieights
Subdivision Increment Il, at Hienaloli, North Kona, Island, County and State of Hawaii, known
as Aloha Kona Drive and Nele Place.
The retaining wall owned by Ms. Beth Frye along the northeasterly boundary of the Aloha Kona
Drive and Nele Place intersection encroaches into the public right-ot=way. Ms. Beth Ann Frye
needs the grant of casement to maintain her retaining wall along the northeasterly boundary of
the Aloha Kona Drive and Nele Place intersection within the public right-of-way. An
independent appraiser determined that the fair market value of the retaining wall easemeut is
$572.00 with an area of 29 square feel.
Pursuant to Section 2-1 1 L Hawaii County Code, the council may, by resolution, as approved by
a majority of its members. dispose of real property.
Originally heard on March 16, 2004, this measure was deferred pending an answer to whether
the sidewalk meets the ADA accessibility standards. Also. a written explanation as to why the
wall was built on County property was requested.
Resolution No. 169-02, Draft 2 was referred to Your Committee, via Communication No. 547.
dated March 22, 2004, from Director of Finance William Takaba, which deletes the word "its'
and replaces it with "her" in the fourth WHEREAS and the NOW, THEREFORE, BF, IT
RESOLVED clauses.
Also attached to Communication No. 547.1 is a letter to Mr. Klaus D. Conventz, Consultant.
from Mr. Chris J. Yuen, Planning Director, approving the variance request subject to conditions.
PC REPORT NO. 239
Communication No. 547.2, transmitted by Director of Public Works Bruce C. McClure, dated
April 1, 2004, states that the property, which involves the west corner of the Nele Place/Aloha
Kona Drive intersection, is too steep to meet current ADA curb ramp standards. As a result. this
intersection is not part of the County ADA curb ramp transition (improvement) plan.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purposes and intent of Resolution No. ] 69-04.
as amended to Uraft 2, and recommends its adoption.
