the oceanfront public park recreation area and the 18 -hole golf course, in addition to creating
seven (7) large bulk lots or "pods" for further residential development and related infrastructure
improvements.
In order to address the complicated lot elevation and building setback issues, and to
facilitate future Subdivision, Plan Approval, and Building Permit reviews by Planning
Department staff, the "Kohanaiki Shores Summary of Constraints Map" dated February 20, 2007
was approved by the Planning Director on March 5, 2007 (Exhibit A).

2005, there has been ongoing grading on the Kohanaiki Shores project site,
which started in the more mauka portions of the project site developing
roadbeds and residential lots. However, current grading during the time of the
report has been undertaken for the golf course, which is in proximity to some
of the anchialine pools. Some of the "new pool finds" were immediately
adjacent to recently graded areas thus compromising the current minimum
buffer of 20 feet.
On January 11, 2006, the Planning Department granted the Applicant's request
to place golf course turf plantings within the outer 20 -feet of the required 40 -
foot setback areas from the anchialline ponds, which is an allowable
construction activity outlined within Condition 57 of the SMA permit.
Steven Rose has been hired by the Applicant as Pond Manager with technical
support from Dr. Richard Brock of Environmental Assessment Inc.
Condition S: Mauka-makai public access(es) shall be provided. A lateral, shoreline
public access throughout the length of the property shall also be provided.
Public parking shall be established near the shoreline following the ratio
of one public parking stall to be provided for every 10 hotel, condominium
and residential units. Restroom/shower facilities shall be provided at each
mauka-makai public access. Public parking stalls and 'restroom/shower
facilities shall be provided concurrently with the development of the first
hotel, the Marina Commercial Village, residential subdivision or
condominium development. An easement shall be recorded with the State
Bureau of Conveyances for the public access(es) and parking areas. The
location, time of construction arid/or availability, restrictions on uses,
signage and related improvements for the public shoreline access(es) and
parking areas shall be approved by the Planning Department. In lieu of
providing a mauka-makai access and facilities at either the north or south
end of the property, the Planning Director may substitute a payment to
the County in an amount equal to the cost of such access, parking stalls
and restroom/shower facilities, which payment shall be used by the
County for the establishment of a public campground in Kona. Use of the
mauka-makai and shoreline public access(es) parking stalls and
restroom/shower facilities shall be afforded to the public on a 24-hour
basis, subject to a public access plan to be approved by the Planning
Department. The use of the public access(es) and facilities after sundown
shall be primarily for those persons wishing to shore -fish at night. The
public access plan shall provide for adequate rules with respect to safety,
health and welfare of the public, including persons who are guests and
residents on the resort. The rules may include a system of permits or
passes to regulate the use of the access(es) and facilities after sundown; ,

This letter transmits a "Kohanaiki Shores Summary of Site Constraints" binder prepared
by the developer for staff use in reviewing plans for buildings at Kohanaiki, especially
single-family homes. The SMA permit has a number of conditions that have to be
checked, and the idea of this binder is that it will facilitate plan checks in the future,
especially for heights and setbacks ofsingle-family homes in the makai-most row of lots.
Specifically, the SMA condition limits the house height in the makai-most row of lots to
30', measured from natural grade to the peak of the roof. Because the site has been
extensively graded, with most lots somewhat elevated, to avoid making staff compare
house heights constantly against the former natural grade (which is shown on the grading
plan) we agreed to determine a hoose height above final grade for each lot in this area.
By CC&R's, the developer is limiting house heights to 26'. It turned out that there were
only a relatively few lots that had to be limited to less than 26' above final grade for the
hoose height. These are listed under Tab 2, Column C. To guard against the possibility
that a lot owner will further elevate the grade, the binder also gives a maximum height
above sea level for each house. This is arrived at by taking the maximum height, plus the
highest rough grade for the lot shown on the grading plan, and subtracting one foot.
Staff should remember that the maximum height is calculated by using the highest point
on the roof, not the method in the Zoning Code.
The Sitc Constraints binder also shows the special setbacks that apply in certain areas.

Subject:
Kohanaiki Constraints
Enclosed is the so-called Kohanaiki Shores Summary of Site Constraints
information for your reference. The County of Hawaii Planning Department
wanted certain information portrayed in a map and binder for their daily use in
connection with building permit plan checks and for use in interfacing with the
public.
A memorandum from County Planning Director Chris Yuen to Bennett Mark, a
planner in the Kona Planning Department office, is also enclosed.
I would point out that there is presently a maximum structure height constraint of
31 -feet that applies to the upper tier of Pod 6 and 28 -foot maximum structure
height for the upper tier of Pod 7, although these are not graphically depicted on
the maps at this time. Recall that the raising of grades led to these limitations;
however, I am seeking to remove this limitation and will report back to you when
and if the constraint changes.
Of course if you have any questions please contact me.

_. _ ...__cnn oav oo, aruuettj'-n116VL 1LL 1, • 47J ult
that the Commission completes the improvements as aforesaid, K -W
Kau or K -W Kohanaiki, respectively, shall cooperate fully to

located on the Wells), the chloride level increases to a level
greater than 180 parts per million or the quality of the water in
Well No. 1 and/or well No. 2 otherwise deteriorates or is
otherwise deemed unacceptable by the Commission, based on the
primary and secondary contaminant levels specified by the.U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Hawaii Department
of'Health (the "Standard Water Quality Level°), the Commission
shall so notify K -W Kau and R -W Kohanaiki of such a decrease in

containing certified results of a water quality test or study /
(performed according to customary industry standards). In such V/
event, the amount of the Commitment shall be reduced in proportion
(taking both Wells into consideration) to the reduction in well
pumping capacity necessary to maintain an acceptable quality of
water pumped by the particular well. For example, if the water .
quality of Well No. i decreases such that only 500,000 gallons
(rather than 1,000,000 gallons) can be pumped from Well No. 1 in
order to maintain the water quality level at the Standard Nater
Quality Level, and 1,000,000 gallons can be pumped from well No. 2
which is unaffected, then a total of 1,500,000 gallons can be
pumped (rather than 2,000,000 gallons) and the Kau Commitment and
the Kohanaiki Commitment will each be reduced by one-fourth. If
the Commission reasonably deems it necessary, K -W Rau and/or K -W
Kohanaiki, as applicable, shall at their expense modify or replace
the, pump bowl assembly at the applicable well in order to produce
water at the reduced flowrate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, K -W Kau and/or K -w Kohanaiki /
may propose treatment of the water or provision of another rater V
source and/or system acceptable to the Commission to maintain all
or a greater amount of the affected portion of the Commitment. If
a.�wzoma.unw
approved by the Commission, there shall be no reduction in the
flowrate of the Wells and K -W Kau and/or K -W Kohanaiki, as
applicable, shall at their expense design, construct and undertake
such alternate treatment or provision and shall convey all
additional facilities to the Commission.

Plan Approval: Resident's Beach Facility
Dear Mr. Yuen:
As required by the Zoning Code, all non-residential structures in V, CV, and ML zone shall obtain Plan
Approval. Accordingly, this filing seeks approval of our "resident's beach facility." This facility is situated in
the southerly and makai area of the project.
Reference is made to your letter of May 8, 2006 wherein you reviewed and approved our April 22, 2006
site plan for this area. While this facility must go through this present Plan Approval filing procedure, the
May 8 approval was sought early in order to ensure that the basic design objectives for this area were
found to be acceptable. Owing to the fact that there are a number of anchialine resources and
archeological/cultural constraints in the subject area, and because of the proximity of the facilities to
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park and the Pacific Ocean, we elected to design several smaller
structures rather than the one large structure originally contemplated for the area. The size and design of
the facilities are consistent with the design parameters established in the SMA Permit.
In addition to an extensive design package included with this filing, we are including a site plan denoting
what refinements we have made since your review of the April 22, 2006 plan. This "blue/red" comparison
plan is fairly self-explanatory; however, we have summarized the salient changes below:
a. Cart parking has been moved away from the 17'" golf hole to assure greater safety for the
residents.
b. The event lawn has been reduced in size.
c. The swimming pool is now rectangular and is sited further north and further from the ocean.
d. The utility/restroom areas have been separated but are still in the same vicinity.
The total square footage for this facility is still below the maximums established in your May 8, 2006
approval letter. We believe all of these refinements are an improvement to the design for the area and
would hope you will agree. Of course if you have any questions please contact me.
Sincerely,
Enclosures: May 8, 2006 approval letter

This letter is in response to your April 24, 2006 letter asking for approval of a revised site
plan for the "residents' beach facility" at Kohanaiki, and transmitting a revised site plan
for that facility prepared by Hunsaker and Associates, dated April 21, 2006 (hereafter
referred to as the "4/21/06 site plan.") The'4/21/06 site plan shows proposed
improvements for the residents' beach facility, along with the final anchialine pond
delineations, including 20' and 40' buffer lines, the archaeological preservation sites, and
the March 10, 2003 certified shoreline.
We have examined the 4/21/06 site plan with respect to the relevant conditions of the
Land Use Commission boundary amendment decision and order, Ord. 88-159, SMA Use
Permit No. 439, Use Permit No. 197, the "Management Plan for Anchialine Resources at
Kohanaiki" dated April 21, 2004, approved by the Planning Director, June 28, 2004, and
pertinent statutes, ordinances, and rules.
1. Overall Conformance with SMA Use Permit No. 439
The 4/21/06 site plan differs from the site plan approved with SMA Use Permit
No. 439 (the Sept. 5, 2003 site plan) primarily in that the earlier site plan showed
a single building for the residents' beach facility, while the current site plan shows
llawai'i County is an Equal Oppnnunity Provider and Empinyer.

it broken into several smaller structures. Condition No. 10 of the SMA permit
allows some flexibility in the exact location of the facility, and does not require
that it be a single building. We find that the proposed structures and locations are
consistent with the SMA Use Permit. It is in essentially the same location as in
the Sept. 5, 2003 site plan. Condition No. 8 requires the residents' beach facility
to not exceed 8000 fit. Because it was not clear whether this applied to the area
under roof or enclosed by walls, we previously accepted that the 8000 112 limit
would refer to the area enclosed by walls, provided that the total area under roof
not exceed 10,000 fit. Otherwise a very large structure could potentially be built.
These limits will be applied to all of the buildings related to the residents' beach
facility. Condition No. 10 also prohibits "facilities" closer than 400' from the
National Park boundary, except as shown in the Sept. 5, 2003 site plan. The lawn
on the 4/21/2006 site plan is closer than 400' to the National Park boundary, but it
is not a "facility" under the terms of this condition. The condition was meant to
limit visual impact on the National Park. The lawn will not have a visual impact.
2. Shoreline Setback
The 4/21/06 site plan shows all building at least 50' from the certified shoreline
dated March 10, 2003. The "beach boy hut" and the edge of a swimming pool are
shown at 50% other structures are 55' or more from the certified shoreline.
Because the shoreline is clearly delineated by beach heliotrope and kiawe trees
that are still in place, and there has been no significant change to the shoreline, we
will waive the requirement of a new certified shoreline survey for buildings as
shown on the 4/21/06 site plan, pursuant to Planning Department Rule 114(c),
provided, however, that Plan Approval is obtained no more than one year after the
date of this letter. The walkways shown are a "minor structure" under Planning
Department Rule 11-8 and exempt from shoreline certification. Landscaping in
the vicinity is a "minor activity" under Rule 11-8 and also exempt from further
shoreline certification.
3. Proximity of structures and walkways to lbe anchialine ponds.
SMA Use Permit Condition No. 57 and sec. 1.2.2 of the Anchialine Resources
Management Plan provide further definition of the basic 40' buffer requirement
for anchialine ponds at Kohanaiki. The basic requirement in Condition No. 57 is
that:
008159
4L •
Mr. Dave Eadie f
Chief Executive Officer
RUTTER DEVELOPMENT
Page 3
May 8, 2006
"There shall be a 40' buffer area around the ponds in which no
substantial construction may occur. Allowable construction and
activities in the buffer zone would be limited to construction of
additional ponds, maintenance and restoration activities,
construction of retaining walls to prevent fill or other materials
from entering the ponds, or to mark pond boundaries, portions of
the lateral public access road, cart paths, other similar low -impact
construction, and plantings that will not result in degradation to the
pond. All construction within the 40' buffer zone will require
approval of the Planning Director. Turf or other plantings
requiring irrigation and fertilization shall not be placed within 20'
of a pond."
The site plan shows all structures outside of the 40' pond buffer, except for a
comer of a "utility restroom" and a corner of a building near the "residents dining
building." These should be relocated slightly (about 4') to be outside the 40'
buffer. The various access paths and the bridge located between the "all purpose
building' and the swimming pool are hereby approved as "low impact
construction" under Condition No. 57. Similarly, the deck area mauka of the pool
and gazebo may be constructed within the 40' buffer as shown on the 4/21/06 site
plan, as "low impact construction", provided that no part of the construction is
closer than 20' from the pond edge, and appropriate measures are taken to protect
the ponds during construction.
This Ictter also constitutes approval of the relocation of the public pedestrian shoreline
trail, as shown at the westerly end of the 4i2l/06 site plan, to an area between the
certified shoreline and the anchialine ponds. The developer will be responsible for
constructing the new trail.
This letter also constitutes approval under the parallel conditions of the Use Permit No.

Re: Shores at Kohanaiki July 20, 2006
Dear Mr. Yuen:
Enclosed is an application for Plan Approval for the Kohanaiki Golf Course, designed by
Rees Jones, Inc. golf course architects. This plan substantially conforms with the golf
course layout denoted in the SMA/Use Permits for the subject property.
This is being submitted in accordance with County Code requirements. A subsequent
Plan Approval application for all vertical structures within the golf course (such as the
golf course "campus") will be submitted for processing at a point in time when the
architectural themes have been completed.
The enclosed tax clearance was current through June 30, 2006. The next tax payment is
not due until August 20, so we assume that the clearance submitted is sufficient. If not,
Please advise us and we will endeavor to have a current clearance furnished.
Of course if you have any questions please contact me.
Sincerely,
Dave Eadie

Pump station #1 shall be a vertical turbine, variable frequency drive station as manufactured by
Flowtronex. It will consist of four (4) 75 H.P pumps and all required electrical panels and components.
The main power supply is 460 Volt, 60 Hz 3 phase with a 400 amp main disconnect.
The building itself is a simple structure that serves only to hide and protect the pump station. It is
accessed by a simple walk in door and has simple lighting as required by code. The Door is a simple "
concrete slab, built to local codes. The pump as manufactured by Flowtonex, is self contained on a
skid. It sits over a 72' wet well, where the four (4) shafts for the pumps pick up the irrigation lake water.
There is a containment area that houses the fertigaton holding tanks. The containment area is sized to
make sure Ihat if there is a spill from any of the tanks, lt is contained and not allowed to enter the
environment outside the building. The tanks consist of two (2) 1,050 gallon tanks and a 500 gallon
mixing tank. These tanks told liquid fertilizers that are injected directly into the irrigation water going
out of the station. This is done through a system that is manufactured by Nufrifeed and incorporated
into the design of the pump station. In this way, liquid fertilizer can be spread over the course with the
use of the sprinkler system. The two 1,050 gallon tanks are purely storage tanks. The 500 gallon
mixing tank is used to inject other approved chemicals on the golf course as needed. This method of
fertilization is very efficient and is a safe way to apply fertilizers and certain chemicals. Once the areas
that have been treated dry, there is no chance of run off from rain, storms, or excess irrigation water.
The building is accessed by a simple walk in door. A small roll up type garage door will also be
installed so that the pumping equipment can be serviced. A small roof hatch exists in the event that the
pumps or the shafts need to be serviced or replaced. In this case, they would need to be pulled out via
small crane from the top.
There are no other facilities in this building. Again, this is a simple structure that will be built to the local
building codes.
If you have any other questions regarding this building, please call me.

Plan Approval: Golf Comfort Stations
Dear Mr. Mark:
As required by the Zoning Code, all non-residential structures in V, CV, and ML zone shall
obtain Plan Approval.
Accordingly, this filing seeks approval of two ancillary structures within the golf course called
"comfort stations." Our SMA/UP application referenced these facilities as 'refreshment
kiosks/restrooms."
These facilities will contain a men's and woman's restroom, equipment room, and a refreshment
dispensing area. One comfort station will be located in the vicinity of the 6'" tee of the golf
course and is 421 sq. ft. under roof, the other comfort station will be located in the vicinity of the
140 tee and will be 723 sq. ft. under roof. The 6'° tee structure is set into a stone recess with a
flat roof, while the 141E tee structure is in situated in the open with a typical roof, which accounts
for the added square footage. The heights of these one-story facilities do not exceed 13 -feet
above finished floor.
No landscape plans are furnished with this filing, as the comfort stations will be situated within
the golf course itself. No hard surface accesses to these areas are planned, other than from cart
paths in the vicinity.
Of course if you have any questions regarding this application, please contact me.
Sincerely,

Plan Approval: Sales Campus
Dear Mr. Mark:
As required by the Zoning Code, all non-residential structures in V, CV, and ML zone shall
obtain Plan Approval. Accordingly, this filing seeks approval of our "sales campus." The'sales
campus consists of two structures which are located at the project's entry.
The smaller structure is the kiosk providing for an attended entry to the project and is 203 sq. ft.
in size. The total under roof area of this structure is 985 sq. ft., which accounts for a covered
canopy over the southerly travel lane into the project.
The larger structure will serve as our marketing area for the duration of the project, whereupon
the facility would transition to a homeowner's meeting facility. This structure is 3,323 sq. ft.
(5,530 sq. ft. under roof), and consists of various rooms devoted to the sales effort. The height
of the attended entry structure and the sales campus buildings are 15'8" and 24'8" respectively.
Automobile parking is provided together with additional spaces designed for golf cart parking.
Themed landscape, water, and wall accents have been integrated with the design of these
facilities.
Of course if you have any questions regarding this application, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Enclosure: Plan Approval design set

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.06-000002 (PUD -06-000002)
Applicant: Ratter/K.W. Kohanaiki, LLC
Landowner. Kohanaiki Shores, LLC
Project: "The Shores at Kohanaiki"
Location: TMK: 7-3-009:003, Kohnnaiki, North Kona, Bawai'l
After reviewing the information submitted with the Planned Unit Development Application, the
Planning Director hereby approves Planned Unit Development Permit No. 06-000002, which
allows the development of a master planned community on land consisting of approximately
450 acres. This PUD addresses variances for minimum building site area and widths, roadways
improvements, minimum yard setbacks, and lot configuration.
BACKGROUND
Project Location
The subject property (TMK: 7-3.009: 003), hereinafter referred to as "Property", consisting of
approximately 450 acres, is located within the district of North Kona, adjacent and to the north of
Kaloko Honokohau National Park on the makai side of the Queen Kaahumanu Highway.
Land Use Designations
Hawa('i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer

June 15,2006
The Property is situated within the State Land Use Urban District and currently designated for
Resort, Low Density and Medium Density Urban with a 1,200 to 2,000 -foot band of Open along
the coastal portion by the County General Plan. The County zoning designation for the entire
property is a mix of Resort (V-1.25), Commercial (CV -10), Limited Industrial (ML -10), Multiple
Family (RM -3), Single Family (RS -10) and Open (0) designations. The Project, with the
approval of this PUD, will be consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Code and the land
use policies of the General Plan.
Proposed Development Details I
The "Shores at Kohanaiki" is a private residential community of up to 500 horriesites/residences
that will be situated in and around an 18 -hole golf course with lot sizes ranging; from about
1/3 -acre to one acre in size with primarily one -acre lots to be located nearest to�the ocean The
18 -hole championship golf course will include a golf clubhouse along with other ancillary
facilities such as tennis courts, residents dining and workout facilities. A 3 -acre resident's beach
facility will also be constructed. Approximately 109 -acres of open space, which includes 6 golf
holes, and a coastal community park will be provided for along the coastal area of the property
makai of the proposed residential lots. i
Compatibility with Neighboring Uses
I
The Property is situated within a region that is primarily designated for.urban uses by both the
State Land Use Commission and the County. Less than a mile to the north of the Property is the
Kona International Airport, On the mauka side of the Queen Kaahumanu Highway in close
proximity are the Kohanaiki Industrial lots and the Kaloko Indtistrial Subdivision. While the
Kaloko Honokohau National Historic Park is located immediately to the south of the Property,
the proposed private residential community is not viewed as an incompatible ormapprolmate use
of lands adjacent to the national park, and provides a transition of land use activities between
surrounding industrial uses in proximity to the park site. In fact, the inclusion of a coastal public
park along the shoreline of this Project will compliment the adjoining national Park.
' Related Major Approvals
1987 to 1988 — In 1987, the State Land Use Commission approved a State LandjUse Boundary
Amendment from Conservation to Urban to accommodate a proposal for 2 hotels, a marina,
commercial area, golf course and residential development on the Property. In 1987, the County
approved a General Plan amendment and in 1988, also approved a change of zone of the
Property to its current zone district classifications.

PROJECT OwECTIyE3 AND DESCRIPTION
The objectives for "The Shores at KohanaiW ("Project's include the following:
According to the Applicant "The purpose of the requested Planned Unit Development Permit "is
to allow for more flexibility in the design of theproject. Thii levibility will allow for the
avoidance and preservation of onsite natural and cultural features, as well as providing for a
more diverse and varied resort community." The Applicant also notes that "The requested
deviations will collectively allow for the establishment of a better balance of the built form, the
landscaping, and the natural environment. This will result in a more integrated neighborhood
pattern with blended edges, shared recreation, and social gathering areas. This integration will
also provide for a higher level of street character and visual interest. Combined these elements
will create a highly desirable built environment that is harmonious and compatible with the
natural surrounding Area and resources:"

APPROVED VARIANCES
The following variances aro hereby approved:
Variances to the Zoning Code
Minimum Building Site Area (Hawaii County Code §25-4-32(a). As detailed further
below, this approved variance will allow for the reduction of the minimum building site area
below the specified zone district requirements.
Minimum Building Site Area (Hawaii County Code §25-5-5, §154-34, §25-5-94, §25-5-
124 ). This approved variance will allow for a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet in lieu
of the minimum 7,500 square foot lot size permitted the Resort (V) and Multiple Family
Residential (RM) zoned districts and the minimum 10,000 square feet lot size required in the
Village Commercial (CV) and Single Family Residential (RS) zoned districts. Them smaller
lots will be located within development "pods" located within the mauka half of the Property
closer to the Queen Kaahumanu Highway.

Junel5,2006
Minimum Building Site Average Width (Hawaii County Code §25-5-6, §25-5-35, §25-5-
95, §25-5-125 ). For those lots less than 7,500 square feet to as small as 6,000 square feet as
permitted above, this variance will allow for a minimum building site average width of
50 feet in lieu of the minimum 60 feet and 70 feet, depending on this zone district
classification.
I
Minimum Building Site Average Width (RS) (Hawaii County Code §25-1-5 & §25-5-6).
Applicant requests that the minimum building site average width of 70 feet for lots within the
RS -10 zoned district be measured at the mid -point of the side lot lines to allow for the
creation of "pie -shaped lots" around the cul-de-sac and knuckles. This PUD will also grant
relief from the method of determining building site average width as defined by the Zoning
Code. I
The Applicant also wishes to exclude the land area within easements, preservation areas or
slopes C unbuildable areas') from being calculated against the side yard setback
requirements. The Applicant is mistaken in their interpretation of yard setback application.
The Zoning Code defines minimum yard setbacks as a set distance based on zoning.
Minimum yard setbacks are not variable based on the size of an actual lot. As an example,
portion of the Project with a zoning of RS -10 will have a minimum yard setback of 20 feet
from the front and rear property lines and 10 feet from the side property lines. These
setbacks will not increase as the parcel size increases beyond the required minimum
10,000 square feet minimum lot size.
Minimum Ysrda_(Hawaii County Code §25-5-7, §25-5-36, §25-5-96, §25-3-126). This
approved variance will allow for zero lot lines in certain instances where there will be back-
to-back units on two abutting lots. This zero lot line condition will only apply to that
property boundary straddled by the two abutting residential units. The required minimum
yard setbacks consistent with the applicable zone district requirements shall be applied to all
other property boundaries. This variance is approved with the understanding that a minimum
20 -foot structural setback between detached residential units will be maintained.
Variances to the Subdivision Code
Minimum Right -of -Way and Pavement Widths (Hawaii County Code §23=41(a)). The
Applicant is requesting a variance from the minimum rights-of-way widths for its internal,
collector -type roadway known as the Loop Road, Lot A. In lieu of the minimum 24 -foot
wide pavement within a 60 -foot wide right-of-way required for collector streets, the
Applicant is requesting that Loop Road be constructed with a 20 -foot wide pavement within
a 50 -foot wide right-of-way. Applicant justifies this request due to the lower average daily
trips expected within this private community as well as reduce the amount of impervious
surfaces, which will aid the Applicant in meeting its water quality goals.
014634
Mr. Dave Eadie, CEO
Rutter/K.W. Kohanaiki, LLC

June 15, 2006
This variance will also permit the use of mid -block islands and landscaped medians that will
create a more desirable streetscape and driving experience. Each travel lane, however, must
be at least 10 feet wide, so additional right-of-way may be needed to accommodate these
landscape features.
This variance excludes the coastal drive, portions of which will be situated within an
approximately 32 -foot wide road lot with the remaining coastal portion to be situated within
a bulk lot. A possible option is to retain both lots as a single large flag lot with access to the
proposed public coastal park. The Applicant should begin its consultation with both
Planning and the Department of Public Works regarding the anticipated improvements
necessary to provide access to the coastal public park.
Curb, gutters and sidewalks within subdivision roadways may be required in areas of likely
pedestrian traffic as determined by the Department of Public Works and in accordance with
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 88-159.
Cul-d"ac (Hawaii County Code §23-50). Applicant requests a variance to allow its project
cul-de-sacs to exceed the maximum length of 600 feet and service more than IS lots. This.
variance is approved based on street design integration with the natural environment and
topography. This PUD will establish a maximum 3,800 -foot length and a maximum of
42 lots along a cul-de-sac.
Grades and curves (Hawaii County Code §23-50): Applicant requests a variance from the
minimum requirements for vertical and horizontal curves for its various proposed private
roadways within the subdivision. This variance is approved on the basis of topography to
minimize the grading requirements and to retain as much of the natural terrain as practical.
In those instances where the vertical or horizontal curves do not meet the minimum
requirements, the Applicant shall present alternate standards at the time of construction plan
review, as provided far in §23-50(6), with lower design speeds assigned in order to meet the
roadway safety standards as specified within the AASHTU Policy on Geometric Design of
Highways and Streets, 2001.
Right of way Improvement (Hawaii County Code §23-95). This variance approval would
allow for deviation from the County's standard detail regarding the minimum edge of
pavement radius with no sidewalk of 30 feet. The Applicant will be required to present
alternative standards at the time of construction plan review and demonstrate that a reduced
pavement radius within the cul-de-sac will conform to AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design
of Highways and Streets, 2001 or other accepted national design standards.

Mr. Dave Eadie, CEO
Rutter/)LW. Kohanaiki, LLC

June 15,2006
DENIED VARIANCES
Elimination of Tangents between reversing curves and broken -back curves. There is no
such requirement within either the Zoning or Subdivision Codes that require a tangent
between reversing or broken -back curves. We believe that this design element resides in
national roadway design guidelines like AASHTO. Therefore, no variance is required.
However, the Applicant should work closely with the Department of Public Works to
determine whether such a deviation from design standards principles will be acceptable.
Through Lots (Hawaii County Code §23-36). Through lots may be permitted, at the
discretion of the Director, due to topographic constraints that are demonstrated. Since the
Director has this discretion, no variance is required
FINDINGS
The following findings are made in accordance with Section 25-6-10 (Criteria for granting a
PUD):
1) The constraction of the project shall begin within a reasonable period of time from the
date of full approval and shall be completed'within a reasonable period of time.
The Applicant is ready to start development as soon as approvals are issued„with
in&astructural improvements and basic grading done within 2 years from the approval of
infrastructural construction drawings. Vertical construction of the homes and duplexes are
anticipated to achieve full build -out within approximately 5 years thereafter. The Applicant
anticipates that the coastal public park will be completed commensurate with the completion
of the subdivision's infiastructural improvements.
2) The proposed development substantially conforms to the General Plan.
The proposed agricultural lots are consistent with the General Plan LUPAG Map designation
for the Property of Resort, Low 8c Medium Density Urban with a strip of Open along the
coastline. This proposed private residential community is consistent with the General Plan
Land Use and Housing goals and policies by providing a diversity of housing choices to meet
a range of housing needs and designing in accordance with the environment.'

3) The proposed development shall constitute an environment.of sustained desirability
and stability, shall be in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood
and shall result in an Intensity of land utilization no higher than, and standards of open
space at least as high as permitted or as otherwise specified for the district in which this
development occurs.
The proposed 500 -unit private residential subdivision will provide a density that is less than
the overall density permitted by its combination of single family and multiple family zoning,
which alone would accommodate a roughly -calculated 1,000 units. While the Property is
relatively flat when compared with the mauka section of North Kona, the Applicant is
working to align the subdivision roadways to follow the existing grades and minimize
grading. Approval of this PUD will provide the Applicant with opportunities to align and
narrow the roadways and to adjust and configure individual lots to take the best advantage of
the physical attributes of the Property and integrate its design into the natural enviromnent.
4) The development of a harmonious, integrated whole Justifies exceptions, if required, to
the normal requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Codes, and that the
contemplated arrangements or use make it desirable to apply regulations and
requirements differing from those ordinarily applicable under the district regulations.
In order to best meet the unique physical attributes of the Property, variances to the minimum
building site area, building site average width, minimum yards, roadway improvements and
other variances from lot configuration requirements will allow the Applicant to integrate the
project into the natural landscape as much as possible as well as create visual interest as its
future residents ride or walk along the subdivision roadways. Current code requirements are
universal with little regard to topography and site limitations. Roadway improvements are
designed for durability and standard design speeds. The stmt design variances result in the
desire to enhance the streetscape by providing unique visual elements such as a more -narrow
pavement section, mid -block island and landscaped medians. As a private roadway, a
community association or the developer will assume maintenance responsibility of the
landscaped areas located within the right-of-way.

Protection and avoidance Is proposed for all the allot listed above. Avoldanoe arv9 protection WIN include long term
and short term ff*=ree.
Proposed short term Interim prolection measures for all preserved sites are:
• Accurate plotting and locating of all sites on grading plane prior to Initiation of grubbing and grading
activities, and appropriate notation included on the grading plans;
• Exptict notification of construction supervisors as to the nature and location of the sites, the signitcance of
buffer zones, and the color and meaning of buffer zone fenelng;
• An on-site pre -construction brisling will be held with the construction firm to assure that the buffen are
understood, and
• On -aft monitoring of construction grubbing and grading in the immediate vicinity of all sites to be
preserved.
We believe thew Interim protection measures are satisfactory, but have some comments at the conclusion of tmis
;letter regarding he on-site moniloring.
it •� w .. •, �.__ i.
MEMO
Proposed long lorm protection measures will vary according to each site and consist of a permanent buffer in which
no land alteration or development will take place. The buffers vary according to each site and may consisi Of done
wall, vegetative, or other barrier demarcation. We have reviewed the long term buffer disianoso and find hem
acceptable. SHPD Kona staff Will evaluate and, if needed, field chedt the Implementation of both Interim and final
buffers within tM specified project arse for grubbing or grading permits under our review.
We are satisfied that a good faith effort has been made to consult with knowledgeable individuate and mauve
Hawaiian organitatlons and to solicit their Input regarding preservation of sites In ft project area.
1) Regarding Rutter Development's intent to preserve as many additional sites as possible vAthin the pfojed area,
which includes sites not formally proposed for preservation or part of this plan, we applaud the Intent. However, Its
practical application will be problematic unless your client intends to implement a decision-making methodology that
Includes archaeological input in the field, in coordination with construction personnel.

2) Under proposed short-term protective measures, you refer to'&=rat@ plotting and kx:atlmg of all Preserved sites
on grading plans.' We take this to noon only the sgrud•upon preservation Wlss In this plan, and not the'opional, at
Ruller Development's dbrnroW preservation rites, The optional preservation altos, or in fact all Wise may certainty
be Included, but we wil not be addressing them as a component of our grading or grubbing permit reviews a
review of cocroonoo with he plan. any
3) Regarding mob monitor ft we did receive for review an updated Monitoring Plan, Update Addendum: Revised
M&ftdng and Miadm Sib Probctyon (Roandahl, July 2004). The addendum contains proposed interim site buffer
distances b augment Qk contents of the previously approved Monitoring Plan (Jensen and RosendaM, Febuary
1991:21). However, at that tld
lme, we believed that the interim buffers Vdd more appropriately, be presented in the
context of a Preservation Plan and not in an addendum to do previously approved Monitoring Plan. The addendum
was not reviewed as a res it, and we proceeded with t.o review of this Preservation Ran. The Interim buffae w
stated in the Preservation Plan, dwerore, should supersede arty previous proposals and serve as the bufhn during
Implementation of the monitoring.
4) Finally, the test In the Preservation Plan on page 9 should be changed to reflect monitoring in accordance with the
approved Monflorirp Plan (page 21, 'Monitoring Plan j:
MW nohasologlcW moNlorkV crew would normally consist of one person who would be present wait$ at
cep times that any construction excavations are In progress in the vicinity of known sites. In general, the
archasolopid would monitor on-going activities b protect knows) sites and to examine any possible cultural
remains that might be dlsomered.'
Please note that monitoring k to be conducted in the vicinity of known Wtea', and not just In proximity to the
preserved sites, as you suggest in to Preservation Plan. in fact, it your client wishes to pursue the'preserviltion
optionor strategy for additional silos on the property not formally slated for preservation, monitoring deo hoot the
protect area It a bow implementation strategy.
Provided you vubndt a replacement page to corrscthe text on page 9, the report is adequate b salt* therequirements of HAR 13.277 ands scospied.

The enclosed communication prepared jointly by Dr. Richard Brock, Ph.D. and myself
concerns the iterative processes that have taken place at Kohanaiki leading to the
discovery of new pondstwetlands on the property. We have tried to summarize and put
a perspective on what has occurred in the field during construction as these resources
have been discovered, as well as to offer further comments and recommendations.
We believe it is at least the implicit intent of the regulatory agencies governing the
treatment of these resources to require such supplemental information as projects
progress.
We would hope that the manner in which we have handled this situation will be deemed
to have been done responsibly and in accordance with your expectations.
Of course, if you have any questions please contact either I or Dr. Brock.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Issuance of Final Anchialine Pool Map for the Kohanaiki Project Site
(County of Hawaii SMA Use Permit 03x312, USCOE POH
2004-1084)
The locating and delineation of anchialine and wetland resources on the Kohanaiki project
site has been a long-term effort due to topography, vegetative cover and difficulty in ascertaining
if a given depression meets the criteria of a anchialine pool or not. The USCOE uses the
working definition of an anchialine pool as any depression, hole, crevice, etc. that contains water
at some stage of the tidal cycle. Thus there are anchialine pools that have water through all
cycics of the tide and there are those at the other extreme that may only contain water on the
highest of high tides thus appear as a "pool" maybe for an hour or less a couple of times during
the year (i.e., during the peak spring high tides). Pools that have these characteristics (i.e., water
only a few times during the year) often have little in the way of any soil and/or plant material, so
the criteria for wetlands often is not met thus delineation requires one to be present when the
tides are at their highest point.
018246
In the original series of field surveys to locate ponds, we located and delineated (i.e.,
surveyed the pool/wetland edges) for 163 sites. These were numbered on the maps as P-1
thorough P-163. At the end of these surveys, we subsequently found three more locations which
were numbered P-170, P-171 and P-172. Each of these sites was given the appropriate buffer.
Armed with this information, the planners and architects proceeded with their planning and maps
were produced with these entities and buffers plotted. Please note that between the field surveys
and the development of maps, some pond numbers were dropped for a number of reasons
resulting in less than 166 plotted entities. 1n some cases, former separate pools were mergcd
into one and in others, further examination found no evidence of water in a given depression, so
that number was deleted.
As the project has moved forward, clearing of unwanted alien vegetation has assisted in
locating previously unknown pools. Of course during routine water quality field surveys, we
have noted the locations of depressions that may be dry at the time but could be a pool during
extreme high tides. Commencing in mid-May and continuing through mid-July 2007 we have
had a series of exceptional high tides occurring during daylight hours which was the signal to
examine known dry depressions as well as look for any new ponds. The results of these field
efforts are presented below.
Three field surveys were undertaken during these extreme tides; these were done on 30-31
May, 14 June and on 27 June 2007. We were accompanied by a professional surveyor during
these field surveys so that known pools could be positively identified (by number) and that any
newly discovered pool/wetland area could be accurately mapped. At the completion of each
field effort, interim small scale maps were produced which assisted in the subsequent surveys.
During these "sweeps" of the project site, all known sites were visited at least once and those
where data were lacking, inspections were made to affirm the presence of water as well as
inventory the aquatic organisms (species). In summary, the 30-31 May survey noted eleven
new pools, the 14 June inspection found 15 additional pools and the 27 June survey located
seven more pools. All of these "new finds" are assigned new numbers commencing with P-173.
Our total pond count now stands at 196 pools which are delineated on the attached set of sixteen
sheets. Inspection of the sixteen sheet map shows pond numbers commencing at P-1 and ending
at P-209; there is a difference of thirteen pools from the numbering as it appears on the map to
the physical count of actual pools present (i.e., 209 - 196 = 13). These thirteen "missing" sites
represent locations were pools were found to not actually occur (no water) or where several
adjacent pools coalesce at high tides creating a single pool thus reducing the count to a single
pool. Rather than trying to reassign an old existing pond number to a newly discovered pond,
we elected to use the next highest number to avoid any confusion in the future.
The majority of the anchialine pools at Kohanaiki occur in a "band" that runs from just
mauka of the natural shoreline beach rubble berm and continues (at most) about 240 m inland of
the certified shoreline with most being within 100 m of the shoreline. Grading has been
ongoing on the project site since commencing in September 2005 and it started in the more
mauka portions of the project site developing roadbeds and residential lots. Morerecently,
grading has been undertaken for the golf course which is in proximity to some of the anchialine
pools. Some of the "new pool finds" are immediately adjacent to recently graded areas thus
compromising the current minimum buffer of 20 feet.
018247
• If
I' It should be noted that the majority of these "new pool finds" are intermittent anchialine
pools having water only on the highest of high tides. Thus the discovery of an intermittent pool
in proximity to recently graded area is not surprising but makes the maintenance of current
natural substratum 20 -foot buffer impossible because some level of grading has occurred. One
example of this is found adjacent to P-195 and P-196 where rocks come within 2 in of the pond
edges. This is one of two issues raised by the discovery of these new pools; the other issue is
with three other pools where grading material (rocks) were accidently pushed into these pools
that were then "discovered" after the fact. These three pools are P-194 which lies at the bottom
of an — 6 m deep depression where some rocks were inadvertently pus 'ted into part of the
depression and the second is P-179 which is a depression filled with alien Christmas berry trees
(5chintrs rerebenthifolia) surrounded by open pahoehoe. In this case, some rock material was
pushed in along one side of the depression that served to push over the Christmas berry which in
tum, exposed the intermittent pool at high tide. Finally grading in the vicinity of P-203 (another
intermittent pool) prior to it's discovery resulted in some rock material outside of the current
buffer fence burying an estimated 25 cm wide x — 1.25 in long section of the pool. The
remaining pool is about 4 in in length and probably about 25 cm wide holding water only on
extreme high tides. Needless to say, in these three latter cases, the 20 --foot buffer was
compromised. Finally, it should be noted that the rock material falling into P-194 and P-179 has
been removed.
The maintenance of a minimum 20 -foot buffer has been compromised due to the discovery
of these intermittent pools under the current design. Assuming that thi: current design remains
in place and the regulatory community would accept a reduced buffer for some of these pools,
there are five new pools that are posing design problems. These pdols are:
1. Sheet 5, Hole #14, P-204: Access to the green complex is impeded by this pond's
buffer. Any reduction would help this situation.
2. Sheet 9, Holes #15 and #16, P-183: This pond is located in the middle of the cart path
from hole #15 to hole #16. Because of this pond, we need to now bridge this area and with the
current buffer in place it is a tight area to bring in the equipment needed to develop the bridge.
Because of this, a reduction in the buffer area would be appropriate so that a bridge can be
installed using the necessary equipment.
3. Sheet 11, Hole #16, P-187: The tees for the par 3 number 16 have to be fitted around
the many ponds and archaeology sites in this area. Unfortunately, the current buffer for P-187
would eliminate needed tee space in this area. A reduction of the buffer would allow the fitting
of the tee in this area. Par 3 holes require more tee space because golfers hit irons, thus tearing
up the turf.
4. Sheet 12, Hole #16, P-190: This pond and buffer has reduced the aesthetics and
playability of the hole. Any reduction at all in this area would help the problem, although not
solve it and again, since it is par 3, the designers feel that a reduction in the impact of this
pondibuffer is important.
018248
0 10
5. Sheet 15, hole #17, P-194: The presence of this pond makes the fairway in this area
unuseable. The buffer must be reduced in order to make the fairway work in this area. As it
presently stands, this area is now not useable thus a non-functioning area. A reduction in the
buffer area would make it at least safe to get a golf cart through this area.
Finally, although not one of the newly discovered pools, the buffer for P-122 (Sheet 5, Hole
#14) really affects the playability and the fairness of the 14`h green complex so any reduction in
the butler would assist in this problem.
In summary, if the current approved design for the golf course is to remain in place, a
reduction in the buffer zones is needed for the following ponds and reasons:
1. Affecting functionality of the Golf Course - P-204, P-194, P-190, P-187, P-183 (all
previously unknown) and ideally P-122 (previously known).
2. Inadvertent Grading in Buffer Zones of Previously Unknown Ponds: P-195 and P-196.
3. Inadvertent Grading Resulting in Rocks in Buffer Zones and in Previously Unknown
Ponds: P-179 and P-194 (rocks removed) and P-203 (estimated 0.3 mZ pond surface burial).
If concessions were made regarding a reduction of buffer widths, as mitigation the
developer could create a number of small anchialine pools in existing buffer areas creating high
quality permanent pond habitat in areas where such habitat is presently rare. The locations of
these "man-made" pools would be based on (1) absence of alien fish in adjacent ponds. (2)
accessibility to equipment for the creation of these pools, and (3) concurrence/oversight by the
Pond Manager during their construction. It is proposed that the actual pool surfaces be kept
small (l to 5 square meters), be dug far enough into the substratum to contain water during all
stages of the tidal cycle (thus are permanent habitat) and that they be placed near the edges of
existing pond buffers (with an agreed to no subsequent increase in pond buffer width) to
minimize disturbance of surfaces in the existing pond buffers by construction equipment. The
actual increase in pond water surface areas would be determined in the field and placing of
man-made permanent ponds in areas now heavily occupied by ponds that are intermittent, will
foster the survivorship and sustainability of the anchialine aquatic resources on the project site
thus enhancing the resource.
The proposed mitigation could be a centerpiece for the anchialine pool restoration effort at
Kohanaiki. We hope that you concur. Are the remedies regarding buffer zone reductions
appropriate given the circumstances? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

1.0 Introduction
i
Rutter/KW Kohanaikl, LLC ('RDC'), is the owner and developer of the
development at Kohanaikl, North Kona, Hawaii. This 'Public Access
Plan' is prepared in accordance with Condition No. 53 of the County
of Hawaii's approved Special Management Permit No. 03-012 and
Use Permit Nos 03-002 and 03-003 and the State Land Use
Commission Condition No. 2 (LUC Docket No. A88-599).
The proposed development Involves two privately owned parcels of land; an
approximate 7.75 -acre °access parcel' situated between the Queen Kaahumanu
Highway and the Mamalahoa Trail, and a 440.40 -acre contiguous parcel of land
makai of the Mamalahoa Trail.
The proposed development envisions committing approximately 109 acres make]
of individual homesites closest to the ocean for use as public and private open
space. When combined with the existing public shoreline acreage, the total open
space area will be approximately 128 acres. A plan of restoration and
preservation of the coastal frontage evolved as the site plans were refined to
respond to County administration and staff, other regulatory agencies, and
community comments on the original design. This area of open space includes a
proposed voluntary transfer of private property for private and public open space
use.
2.0 Location
The approximate 448 -acre project site Is located within the makal reach of the
Kohanaikl ahupua'a, in the North Kona District on the leeward coast of the
island of Hawaii. The site is approximately two miles south of the Keahole
Airport and flue miles north of Kailua-Kona, the principal town in West
Hawaii (Exhibit 2-1, Regional Location). The site is bounded to the east
(mauka) by an undeveloped 92.86 -acre parcel adjacent to the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway, to the north by the makai reach of the 'O'oma 2
ahupua's, and to the south by the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical
Park (NHP).
Mauka of the NHP lays the Kaloko Industrial Park consisting of 194 fee-
simple one -acre Industrial Iota, about 0.75 miles southeast of the project
site. Just to the south of the Industrial park are two quarrying operations.
Beyond the NHP to the south lies the 250 -slip Honokohau Small Boat
Harbor operated by the State Department of ,Transportation Harbors
Division. South of the Harbor Iles the State-owned Kealakehe tract. A
County regional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located In the
coastal area of Kealakehe.
425M
014552
Above the Queen Kaahumanu Highway some 2.5 miles south of the project
site is the Villages of La'1'opua residential community. Much of the backbone
Infrastructure has been constructed by the State, and Hawaiian Homelands
has developed 225 single family residential lots. The Kealakahe High
School has also been constructed. The county police station and the
Kealakehe Sanitary Landfill are located at the southwest comer of the
Kealakehe tract, adjacent to the Queen Kaahumanu Highway.
The Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELHA) and the Hawaii Ocean
Science Technology (HOST Park), operated by the State of Hawaii, are
located to the north, between the Keahole Airport and the project site.
The two facilities are involved in the research and commercial
application of alternative energy systems, aquaculture and related
fields, utilizing deep ocean water pumped ashore via offshore pipelines.
Above the Airport to the north lies the Keahole Agricultural Park and the
Hawaiian Electric and Light Company (HELCO) power plant.
To the west fronting the site is the Pacific Ocean. Two named
coastal promontories are located along the coast; Puhill Point at the
northwest comer and Wawahiwaa Point near the middle of the project site.
The project area consists of two parcels referred to for taxation purposes
as (3)-7-3-09:3 and (3)-7-09:18 (Exhibit 2-2, Project Location). The major
parcel is 440.40 acres in size while the smaller access parcel is 7.75
acres In size for a total project area of 448.15 acres. The two parcels are
separated by the Mamalahoa Trail contained within a State-owned right-of-
way.
3.0 Existing Public Access
Currently, public access to the shoreline Is by one of two jeep trails. The
primary access extends from the NEHA/HOST Park access road alonga
coastal trail fronting the adjacent O'ome II property and enters the proect
site at the northwest comer. Secondary public access is by a rough jeep
trail extending down in the vicinity of the northern property line, on the
O'oma li property, directly from the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This trail
connects with the NELHA/HOST Park trail near the northeast comer of the
prosect site. There is no documentation of public rights to use this mauka-
makal leap trail. From this point, a single jeep trail extends along the entire
coastal frontage of the project site. The coastal leap trail is approximately
on the alignment of an older pedestrian trail from the awailan period.
4.0 Circulation / Access Plan
Both public and prNate access to the property will be via the Queen Kaahumanu
Highway and wilt traverse over the Mama Trail. Public access to the project
site will then continue north and west along the periphery of the project site to the
coastal edge. At this point, the roadway material may no longer be asphalt
Surface treatment that will produce a more natural effect, such as flat lava 'bricks•,
014553
faux lava (stained and textured concrete) will be considered instead. Parking
spaces M be constructed at intervals along the roadway paralleling the coastline.
Akxxrss wig be open at all times, or controlled, as deemed appropriate, by the
future public or quasi -public owner.
After the opening of the new mouka-makal public access road from the Queen
Kashumanu highway, the access road from the adjacent Obma property will be
dosed to vehicular irafgc, but will remain open for pedestrian access. A gate or
other banter will be constructed at this northerly property line once the mauke-
makat access road is available.
Pedestrian access will continue along the shoreline from the Obma border down
to the Kaloko-Honokohau Park. This trail will generally follow the path of the
existingsep trail. In recognition of the popularity of the area In and around
"Pine rees" beach, the proposed development includes enhancing the
public accessibility and use of the area in a safe, convenient and
environmentally sensitive manner. The proposed public park is located
centrally along the shoreline. A "drop off" zone is provided close to the
central beach area to unload picnic and beach a uipment. Approximately
121 public parking spaces are placed in small pockets along the beach access
road to provide convenient vehicular access. Vehicular traffic will be not be
available after this point Only a pedestrian footpath will continue south to Kaldro-
Honokohau Park.
Private access to the proposed development continues westerly of the
Mamalahoa Trail past an attended ktosWgate entry into and around the residential
community.
A Conservation District Use Application (CDUA HA -3124B) has been approved by
the Board of Land and Natural Resources. The proposed Improvements across
the approximately 30 -foot -wide trail include either one 24 -foot -wide roadway or
two 12-11oot-wide roadways separated by a median.
Access routes are shown on Exhibit 4-1. The proposed roadway system within
the project site will be composed of the major entry road, the secondary
entry road, and collector roads to and within residential areas. The
proposed Roadway Section are shown on Exhibit 4-2.
Private access within and externally to the proposed development will include
resident cart paths, which will have connection points to the Public Park
5.0 Public Park
A significant amount of the proposed site will be retained in open space in
a variety of forms. The 128 -acre coastal park will be a major open space
element. The coastal setback and the anchialine pond resources will be
maintained as open space with selected pond areas utilized as interpretive
features. A number of important historic sites indicated for preservation
within the subject area will be protected with apTpropriate buffer areas which
may, where appropriate, include interpretiva/educational exhibits. Open
n1dAAA
space/resource preservation components are discussed below in more
detail, and are summarized in Exhibit 5-1.
State-owned land exists along the coast, makal of the pending certified
shoreline, which will remain In the public domain and comprises a
component of the coastal park. The 210 -acre golf course will enhance the
open space within the mauka areas of the site.
One hundred twenty-eight acres makai of individual homesites closest to
the ocean are proposed for use as public and private open space,
parking facilities and access routes. The coastline area within Kohanaiki
Is presently without any permanent sanitary facilities and is only accessible
by 4 -wheat drive vehicle or a lengthy walk over a rugged jeep trail.
In recognition of the popularihr of the area in and around "Pine Trees"
beach, the proposed deve�fopment includes enhancing the public
accessibility and use of the area in a safe, convenient and environmentally
sensitive manner. The proposed public park Is located centrally along the
shoreline. The park is accessed from the north on the proposed public road
system along the North property line. A "drop off" zone is provided close to
the central beach area to unload picnic and beach equipment.
Approximately 121 public parking spaces are placed in small pockets along
the beach access road to provide convenient vehicular access. Proposed
Improvements include showers and toilet facilities.
Restoration by the property owner Includes several components. In addition to
general site ctearwp, preservation of numerous archaeologlcal/historkc sibas (see
Section 5.10 of the SMA Application for further details), and
restoradon/preservation of the vast majority of onsite anchialine ponds (see
Section 5.8 of the SMA Application for further details), Including enhancement and
Interpretive programa (signage, explanatory brochures, etc.), will be included.
The concept for the open space component of the proposed development
includes a voluntary commitment an the part of the property owner to transfer
acreage into the public domain as permanent open space, which, when combined
with the public beach, will total over 128 acres.
Permanent open space within the project site will betransferred to a public or
quasi -public entity once Improvements aro completed. The ultimate park
ownership entity will have an easement from the property owner for water and
sewer services to the restroom facility. The property owner, and its successors,
will have an exclusive easement for the construction and use as a golf course
within certain portions of the permanent open space area. The property owner
and its successors will also have an exclusive easement for the construction and
use of a residents' beech facility and residents' cart pathss//pparkingg within certain
portions of the permanent open space area (see Exhibit 3-5 of the SMA
Application: Public and Private Easements).
While the golf course, the residents' beach facility and the golf cart paths will be
maintained by the homeowners' association, the balance of the open space
component will be maintained by the public and/or quasi -public entity that will
ultimately have jurisdiction of the open space areas (Exhibit 3-8 of the SMA
Application, Public and Private Maintenance Responsibilities). An Advisory
40sea
014555
... a s
committee consisting of both community members and residential owners in the
development will be formed to advise regarding the operation and maintenance of
the public park. The maintenance and management responsibilities are outlined
in the Good Faith Agreement, as well as Condition Nos. 12 and 18. it is
anticipated that the County of Hawaii will have jurisdictional responsibility.
8.0 Archaeological Sites I Cultural & Traditional Practices
Kohanaiki has a number of unique environmental and archaeological resources
within the coastal areas of the site. As part of the Use Permit Petition, both
cultural studies and many archaeological studies were conducted. The findings
are found in the appendices of the SMA Permit and are incorporated by
reference.
7.0 Signage and Related Improvements
Directional signage at the entrance to Kohanaiki from the Queen Kaahumanu
Highway will be provided. Visitors to the Kohanaikl Public Park will be directed
towards the mauka-makai vehicular access road to the north, while residents will
be directed into the residential development A signage plan will be completed in
conjunction with the Improvement plans. Archaeological and cultural
Identification signs and programs will be Included as part of the Public Park
working drawings with Input from the Kohanalld Cultural Committee.
8.0 Security and Hours of Access
The management of the Public Park is through the owning public agency; in
conjunction with the Kohanaiki Advisory Committee. The conditions of the SMA
permit allow public access to the public park from 5:30 a.m..to 9:00 p.m. daily,

SUBJECT: Revised Proposal to Monitor Ground and Coastal Water Quality for the
Proposed Shores at Kohanaiki Development, North Kona, Hawaii
Dear Mr. Lau, i
I certainly appreciate the rapid response regarding the submission of a draft water quality .
monitoring plan for the proposed Shores at Kohanaiki development. I have incorporated most of
the comments into the enclosed draft and respond below to your comments as welt I believe that
the present revised plan is much better and more complete with the incorporation of your
comments. I sincerely appreciate your time and thoughts on the project. Below are your
comments and responses to them. I
A. General Comments
I
Comment /a. You pointed out that West Hawaii Coastal Monitoring Protocols (hereafter the
"protocols") were developed to meet the needs of a consistent regional data base for water quality
and marine life monitoring. Furthermore, the protocols embodied the concept of regional
characterization rather than detailed effort for specific projects. '
Response: Towards meeting the goal of a more regional characterization of coastal water
quality, we have expanded the scope of our proposed monitoring plan to include sampling of
marine waters offshore of Wawaloli Beach located at the southern end of the NELHA parcel as
well as offshore of Kaloko Fishpond which is in the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park
Park. The Kaloko marine sampling transect is located about 0.5 km south of the southern
boundary of the Kohanaiki project site and the Wawaloli Beach transect is about 1.3 km north of
the north boundary of the project site. We will use water quality data from these two locations as
006065
0 0
comparative controls; these data will also assist in addressing the status of water quality along this
—3.7 km section of the West Hawaii coast. These additional sampling sites and the concept of a
more regional approach to monitoring has been incorporated into the proposed monitoring plan.
Comment !-b. You note that we should be using and referring to the 20m edition of Standard
Methods and that the field sampling of marine waters should follow the Guidelines and HAIL
Chapter 11-54 [11-54-06(d)(1)(iii)].
Response: We have made the appropriate changes regarding the use of the 20° edition of
Standard Methods and those will be followed. The proposed sampling design (i.e., locations of
stations and frequency of sampling) follow the Guidelines and HAR 11-54, You will note that in
our marine sampling program we have added bottom stations at 10 m and 50 in offshore as well
as another surface station at 200 in offshore. The bottom station data do not enter into any
calculation of geometric means, the determination of standards or with the meeting of those
standards. The bottom stations were added to provide better definition of source(s) of ammonia
nitrogen which as you know can be generated in situ and the 200 in offshore surface station
provides a more complete picture of the dilution/advection/uptake in any surface gradients of
concentration from materials entering with groundwater. We have incorporated this material into
the proposed monitoring plan.
Comment 2. You note, "As stated in the Guidelines, the program is designed to describe
existing conditions. Quarterly monitoring was proposed to meet this goal. However, the
Guidelines also specified that 'Catastrophic events and proposed coastal development projects
may require more frequent data collection and analysis.' The proposed Shores at Kohanaiki
project is a low density golf community development. More frequent data collection shall be
considered and required in the monitoring plan."
Response: We have changed the monitoring schedule from quarterly to bimonthly (i.e., once
every other month) for the baseline period. Please note that we have included a mechanism (a
rainfall trigger for sampling) that requires sampling immediately following any rainfall event of 1.5
inches or more in a 24-hour period. This sampling following high rainfall is the primary
"catastrophic event" that could cause materials to enter groundwater, anchialine pools or the
marine environment. An analysis of rainfall as measured at the Kailua-Kona Keahole Airport over
the last I 1 years suggests that a 1.5 -inch in 24 hours rainfall occurs on the average about 1.5
times per year. We will use the Keahole Airport data which is updated on the web every 12 hours
as our primary source of rainfall information. This has been incorporated into our proposed
monitoring plan. The US National Park Service will be establishing an automatic rain gage at the
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park adjacent to the project site in the future. At that time
we propose to use their data as our primary source of information regarding local rainfall.
Comment 3. Quarterly pre -construction sampling events are proposed at least one year prior
to the start of construction. These data will provide the baseline information on existing
conditions. You note that, "the adequacy of determining the existing water environment at the
I
selected sites with only four sets of data needs to be re-evaluated."
Response: As noted above, we fully agree with this comment and are now proposing to carry
out six routine monitoring surveys per year plus any that might be triggered by a high Irainfall
event (1.5 inches in 24 hours) during the baseline period. This has been incorporated into the
pi oposed monitoring plan.
Comment 4. `There are only two upstream groundwater monitoring wells (North' and South
of the project boundary) proposed (see p8), not four as indicated on page 12 of the Monitoring
PIIan. Written clarification is requested. In addition, the adequacy of selecting only two upstream
groundwater monitoring wells needs to be re-evaluated."
Response: The author's first thought was that four inland groundwater monitoring wells
uld be appropriate but comments from a professional hydrologist (Mr. Tom Nance) who will
ually determine the exact placement of the wells suggested that two wells would be completely
;quate. The author had not totally revised the proposed number of wells throughout the first
A. The present revision has noted two proposed wells to be located by the hydrologist. Please
to that these wells are for groundwater monitoring only.
Comment S. "There are no post -construction sampling events proposed to detect potential
Id use changes related impacts to the receiving State water quality (including groundwater,
:hialine pools,. and marine environment) resulting from the proposed development project."
e: The revised draft monitoring plan calls for water quality and anchialine pool
to continue through the during construction process and for a minimum of two years
uildout at which time the regulatory agencies, environmental monitor and the
would mutually determine the need for the continuance and level of effort for the
t is expected that the post -construction monitoring schedule wilt be on a quarterly

policy for these waters. Waste discharge into these waters is prohibited (see paragraph

from any human -caused source or actions. To the extent practicable, the wilderness character of
these areas shall be protected. Sampling data collected at (in the) Marine environment showing
`significant deviation (see PA) from the baseline constitutes violation to the HAR, Chapter 1I-
54."
Response: The above comments are recognized and are implicit through the entire proposed
monitoring program. The sampling strategies proposed in this program are designed (to the
author's best ability) to address these concerns. Any further improvement to the sampling design
or analysis that could be suggested is welcomed.
Comment 7. "Water quality data is to be reported to the CWB in a manner that is compatible
with the USEPA STORET system and State GIS. Water quality parameters are to be reported in
both molar and gram (mg, ug, I, mm, ... etc., see p.29 of the Guidelines), instead only in molar as
proposed. A quarterly water quality report shall be submitted to the CWB. (Please see pages 14
and 15 of the Monitoring Plan)."
Response: The data presented in our monitoring reports will be compatible with USEPA
STORET and all data will be identified through sample locations (given in latitude and longitude)
as well as by sample time period. This will make the data compatible with the State GIS system.
We expect that the Clean Water Branch (CWB) will want these data in electronic format as well
as in the usual monitoring report. We propose to provide these data in electronic format annually
to the CWS and expect to provide these data in gram (mg, ug, I, mm, etc.) format as given in the
Chapter 11-54 standards. These changes have been incorporated into the revised monitoring
program.
Comment 8. "There is no discussion on whether the monitoring plan complies with HAR,
Paragraph 11-54-03(d)(iii) requirements which states in part, '...this sampling protocol shall be
replicated not less than three times on different days over a period not to exceed fourteen days
during dry weather conditions."
Response. We assumed that the first bimonthly sample period would entail the three surveys
carried out over a 14 -day dry period. The revised proposal now explicitly states that this will be
done. However, we expect to not only use the data from the first three surveys (done in the 14 -
day period) but also all data collected on a bimonthly (i.e., once every other month) schedule as
well as any data collected following a high rainfall event (i.e., 1.5 inches or more in a 24-hour
period) that is completed prior to the start of construction. Thus with a one-year period to collect
baseline data, we will have, at a minimum, data,from seven surveys which far exceeds the baseline
database for most water quality monitoring surveys.
Comment 9. "Please describe which regulatory agencies will approve the 'pond management
plan'? We recommend that the concrete support be placed outside the anchialine pools. If a pool
size renders the construction of the concrete support impractical, prefabricated concrete piles shall
4
be used."
Response: The pond management plan will be sent to the County of Hawaii Planning
Department and the US Army Corps of Engineers for their review. We expect that these agencies
I
ill request the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Hawaii State Department of and and
1 atural Resources to also review the draft pond management plan. We appreciate the advice
concerning the use and placement of concrete support materials in the proximity of the anchialine
P ools.
Comment 10. "The black and white photographs of the anchialine pools were not, labeled,
therefore, they could not be compared with the coordinates submitted in the SMA aplication."
Response: The black and white photographs submitted to the developer for inclusion in the
SMA application were hand labeled with each pond number placed on each photograph. If needed
by the Clean Water Branch, we could hand label each of the photographs currently in the
possession of the CWB.
Comment 11. "Please describe what types of Best Management Practices (BMPs) or
measures, that the developer proposes to use, could "prevent' potential contaminants from
entering groundwater, anchialine pools, surface waters and ocean? (See p5.16 ofthelSMA
Response: The author is not the golf course manager, but some of the BMPs thatlwill be used
lude the regulations and guidelines (as administered through the Department of Agriculture)
;arding the storage and dispensing of fertilizers and pesticides. Other BMPs include using
terials (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) on an "as needed only" basis rather than on a predetermined
iedule. If in excess, irrigation water could leach and tarty materials from the golf course to the
rundwater; anchialine pools and ocean. Thus, golf course irrigation will be applied based on
ly measurement of water retention in the soil, which avoids over -watering and the possibility of
thing materials to the groundwater. These are among some of the BMPs that will be followed.
Comment 11. "There is no justification on why Ciguatera Monitoring was not proposed."
Response: A justification is presented in the revised monitoring plan. j
Comment 13. Please advise whether the total size of the project site is 448 acres (see Table
1 of the SMA application or the 541.1 acres (see table 3-1 of the SMA application)."
Response: The total size of the parcel to be developed is 448 acres and the 541 l acres
ludes the additional lands between the Kings Trail (which defines the mauka boundary of the
)ject site) and the Queen Kashumanu Highway. This additional area is 93.1 acres.

B Permitting Requirements
Comment 1. "An individual National Pollutant Discharges Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit is required for the project construction activities. NPDES General Permit (GP) is not
applicable to this project for the following reasons:
a. Anchialine pools shall remain it natural state, waste discharge into Anchialine pool is
prohibited ((11-54-05(1), Section I.e of the GP, Appendix C.] Waste discharge into
anchialine pools is prohibited.
b. The receiving nearshore open coastal waters is Class AA, Marine Waters. Section Le.
of the Appendix C. specifically excludes discharges into this class of State waters from
being authorized NPDES GP."
Response: The developer has no intention to discharge any waste materials into either the
Kohanaiki anchialine system or the adjacent marine environment. Required permits will be
applied for at the appropriate time.
Comment 1. "The Developer or you shall not begin the construction of the groundwater wells
until the developer has received the required NPDES permit as the construction of the
groundwater wells is part of the 'common development plan or sales"'.
Response: The two groundwater monitoring wells that the water quality monitoring plan has
proposed be drilled at the mauka end of the project site are for the monitoring of the groundwater
only and will not be used as a source of water for irrigation purposes thus should not be
considered as part of the "common development plan or sales". As noted in the proposed water
quality monitoring plan, NPDES Permits are usually applied forjust prior to the start of each
phase or segment of construction and since each application requires detailed information on
scheduling, grading areas and measures to control pollutants, it would be difficult to apply for
such a permit a year or more in advance of anticipated construction just for the purpose of drilling
two small groundwater monitoring wells. The intention is to have a year of baseline water quality
monitoring prior to the start of construction. Other small coastal wells that are used exclusively
for groundwater monitoring that the author is aware of, required state permits (DLNR) but not
federal (NPDES) permits. We believe that it is not the Department of Health's intention to stymie
the acquisition of long term baseline water quality data. Written clarification would be helpful to
understanding what will be required from the Department of Health regarding the development of
the two proposed observation monitoring wells.
Comment 3. The Army Corps of Engineers shall be consulted for the placement of any
dredged spoils or fill material such as low rock wall and concrete piles below the ordinary high
water mark or ordinary high tide line of the Waters of the United States."
Response: The developer is not conducting any activities in the marine waters fronting the
Kohanaiki project site. With respect to anchialine pools, it is the intention of the developer and
his consultants to work in close consultation with the USCOE regarding any and all restoration
006070
activities on anchialine pools. We do, however, appreciate the Department of Health's comments
that will insure we adhere to all regulations.
Comment 4. "The Developer shall be informed of HAR, Section 11-55-38 reqs
regarding the historic and burial sites review; coastal zone objectives and policies."
Response: The developer is working with the appropriate agencies and community groups to
insure that archaeologic, historic and burial sites on the Kohanaiki parcel are dealt with in
accordance with all regulations. Again, we appreciate the Department of Health's comments
regarding these important regulatory aspects of the development.
We should point out that we have been discussing the proposed Kohanaiki water quality
monitoring plan with the US National Park Service and the US Geological Survey (USGS). The
USGS will be carrying out a water quality monitoring program for the Kaloko-Honbkohau
National Historic Park which is located directly south of the Kohanaiki parcel. It islexpected that
the USGS water quality monitoring program will primarily focus on groundwater. We expect to
work with the USGS personnel and hopefully share data which should result in a more
comprehensive monitoring program and provide a better understanding of water quality on a
regional basis.
We appreciate the Department of Health's comments regarding our proposed water quality
monitoring plan. We have incorporated the comments into the revised plan as well as addressed
these concerns in this letter. We believe that the revised water quality monitoring pian is a much
better plan with your suggested changes incorporated into it. The revised draft water quality
monitoring plan is enclosed. If you have further comments to make on this draft, please forward
them and we will address them. We do appreciate your help and guidance! Mahalol

daily measurement of water retention in the soil, which avoids over -watering and the possibility of
leaching materials to the groundwater. These are among some of the BMPs that will be followed.
Comment lZ "There is no justification on why Ciguatera Monitoring was not proposed."
Response: A justification is presented in the revised monitoring plan.
Commenrl3. Please advise whether the total size of the project site is 448 acres (see Table
1-1 of the SMA application or the 541.1 acres (see table 3-1 of the SMA application)."
Response: The total size of the parcel to be developed is 448 acres and the 541.1 acres
includes the additional lands between the Kings Trail (which defines the mauka boundary of the
project site)•and the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This additional area is 93.1 acres.

B Permitting Requirements
Comment 1. "An individual National Pollutant Discharges Elimination System (NPDES).
Permit is required for the project construction activities. NPDES General Permit (GP) is not
applicable to this project for the following reasons:
a. Anchialine pools shall remain it natural state, waste discharge into Anchialine pool is
prohibited ((11-54-05(1), Section Lc of the GP, Appendix C.] Waste discliarge into
anchialine pools is prohibited. i
b. The receiving nearshore open coastal waters is Class AA, Marine Waters. Section l.c.
of the Appendix C. specifically excludes discharges into this class of State waters from
being authorized NPDES GP."
Response: The developer has no intention to discharge any waste materials into either the
Kohanaiki anchialine system or the adjacent marine environment. Required permits, will be
applied for at the appropriate time.
Comment 1. "The Developer or you shall not begin the construction of the groundwater wells
until the developer has received the required NPDES permit as the construction of the
groundwater wells is part of the'common development plan or sales"'.
Response: The two groundwater monitoring wells that the water quality monitoring plan has
proposed be drilled at the mauka end of the project site are for the monitoring of the groundwater
only and will not be used as a source of water for irrigation purposes thus should not be
considered as part of the "common development plan or sales". As noted in the proposed water
quality monitoring plan, NPDES Permits are usually applied for just prior to the start of each
phase or segment of construction and since each application requires detailed information on
scheduling, grading areas and measures to control pollutants, it would be difficult to apply for
such a permit a year or more in advance of anticipated construction just for the purpose of drilling
two small groundwater monitoring wells. The intention is to have a year of baseline water quality
monitoring prior to the start of construction. Other small coastal wells that are used exclusively
for groundwater monitoring that the author is aware of, required state permits (DLNR) but not
federal (NPDES) permits. We believe that it is not the Department of Health's intention to stymie
the acquisition of long term baseline water quality data Written clarification would be helpful to
understanding what will be required from the Department of Health regarding the development of
the two proposed observation monitoring wells.
Comment 3. "The Army Corps of Engineers shall be consulted for the placement of any
dredged spoils or fill material such as low rock wall and concrete piles below the ordinary high
water mark or ordinary high tide line of the Waters of the United States."
Response: The developer is not conducting any activities in the marine waters fronting the
Kohanaiki project site. With respect to anchialine pools, it is the intention of the developer and
his consultants to work in close consultation with the USCOE regarding any and all restoration
N

0 0
activities on anchialine pools. We do, however, appreciate the Department of Health's comments
that will insure we adhere to all regulations.
Comment 4. "The Developer shall be informed of HAR, Section 11-55-38 requirements
regarding the historic and burial sites review; coastal zone objectives and policies."
Response: The developer is working with the appropriate agencies and community groups to
insure that archaeologic, historic and burial sites on the Kohanaiki parcel are dealt with in
accordance with all regulations. Again, we appreciate the Department of Health's comments
regarding these important regulatory aspects of the development.
We should point out that we have been discussing the proposed Kohanaiki water quality
monitoring plan with the US National Park Service and the US Geological Survey (USGSJ The
USGS will be carrying out a water quality monitoring program for the Kaloko-Honokohau
National Historic Park which is located directly south of the Kohanaiki parcel. It is expected that
the USGS water quality monitoring program will primarily focus on groundwater. We expect to
work with the USGS personnel and hopefully share data which should result in a more
comprehensive monitoring program and provide a better understanding of water quality on a
regional basis.
We appreciate the Department of Health's comments regarding our proposed water quality
monitoring plan. We have incorporated the comments into the revised plan as well as addressed
these concerns in this letter. We believe that the revised water quality monitoring plan is a much
better plan with your suggested changes incorporated into it. The revised draft water quality
monitoring plan is enclosed. If you have further comments to make on this draft, please forward
them and we will address them. We do appreciate your help and guidance) Mahalol

Richard Brock, Ph.D.
