These plans included petitioning the State Land Use Commission (LUC) to reclassin, approximately 1,009 acres north of Kona Village Resort from conservation district to urban district to allow for the construction of 530 single-family residential units, and 500 rulti-family residential units. Ic would also include a 36-hole golf course (2 golf courses), a golf clubho,.se, 11 acres of commercial develoomon: and a residents club. The Keakealani family and most other families ofthe ahupua'a asked that KHCC step in because they feared they would have no voice in opposing the destruction of their 'aina, particularly ka lae mano - the salt cliffs. The KHCC Board of Directors voted to support their efforts, and a motion was made at the general membership meeting, at the urging of our kupuua, to oppose this development. The vote to oppose was unanimous and the President was instructed to attend the LUC hearing at Waik.oloa to funnily oppose the reclassification petition. At this hearing, many other Hawaiian groups came farvard to request intervenor str.t" in a contested case. Of these gr o ps, the LUC allowed only 3 intervenors. Thes, 3 were; KHCC, Ka Lahui Hawaii, and Protect Kohanaiki 'Ghana (PKO). The LUC Chnl1 Allen Hoe, asked that all 3 consolidate into 1 entity for purposes of interventin, This entity became Ka Pa'akai o ka 'aina. because all 3 organizations were nsn, , with limited funds, Nike blatsukawa and Alfred Lerma agreed to represent us with legal counsel pro-bono. Both attorneys believed that the developer did not compl with existing land use lays and that the State of Hawaii had not done their fidic_ duty to Hawaiians in protecting their unique status and cultural resources accnlr' to the Hawaii State Constitution. Ka Pa'akai 0 Ka 'Aina was granted intervenor status in a contested case than began in 1994 and lasted for 22 months. During the 22 months, the KHCC ,.vas represented by Leimana Da:late, Presider'. Hannah Springer, 1st Vice President as well as keiki o ka 'aina of Ka'upulehu. Weekly classes were held by Vatsukaws and Lorma where land use laws were dilicer. studied, as well as federal land law" Hawaii statutes, environmental laws ant particularly Hawaiian practices, both. subsistence and religious - and how they related to Ka'upulehu. All, menbcrs of tho board, as well as many general nombe, participated in this process. • RNFitU ANL H~Lr+GI EE=~nRP E108 334 1305 F'_C . Ka'upulehu background - Page 2 we came up with the "cultural Mact Statement", or CIS. In 1994, the KHCC submitted a resolution to the AMC convection calling for a CIS to be included in all Environmental Impart Statements (EIS) procedures. This reso passed and went on to be introduced nt the state legislature as a bill. The CTS bill was strongly supported by all Havaii2n organizations because it specitica, instructed a developer to consult roith Hawa_:iaab "from the area to be developed" in regards to actual cultural usage. Prior to this, a developer hired an archaeologist from outside, usually the mainland, to determine if, and where, archaeological sites were present on site_ There was never any consideration of subsistence gathering or religious practices. To a developer, a "significant cultural resource" was an archaeological site, or a petroglyph - not a living, breathing culture. Our work was extensive, exhausting, and all-inclusive. We dedicated thousan,, of hours to research, lobbying at the legislature for 3 years, attending meetings with state officials to change the land use iaws - and so on. All of this to preserve and protect the Purpose of the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club, as stated in our constitution - "To actively participate in the promotion and perpetuation of long-held traditional Native Hawaiian attitudes and values that dignify all human life and which are the moral- and ethical underpinnings of our cultural expressions that comprise a unique, rich and enduring legacy of the first people of Hawaii Nei which are commoni,tacknoalea5ed and appreciated by all the people of both our beloved islands and of our great nation" (KHCC C&BL, Art. IT, Sect,la In fact, this project encompassed the entire Article it of our Constitution. As in any e_`fort of this magnitude, thn effort must continue. In 1996, the LUG ruled in favor of the applicant In spite of the enormouse volumes of testimonies, and research that plainly sho,e.' that state was not in compliance with their own rules. However, the chair told us that the LUC did not know ho~a to rule any other way since this was a precedent setting case, and that cultural resources and practices needed to be formall, identified and protected by the Supreme Court. The conditions of approval are also very very stringent. one of the conditions was that a Resource Aspagenent Flan needed to be implemented. based on a ahupua'a concept already developed by Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estar, the landowner. In 1997, the KHCC Board of directors and many other members went to csuyl in Kealakekua when we appealed the LUC decision to the Ad Circuit Court. Judge lbarra upheld the LUC decision, again because this was precedent setting. ' ANALU AND HOL,"l PEF,411 808 334 1305 P,n- Ka'upulehu Bacground, Page 3 We appealed to the Supreme Court where this case is currently pending, As of November 4, we were notified that judge Klein would be hearing this case. Judge Klein ruled on the precedent setting DASH decision brought about by the Protect Kohanaiki 'Ohara. He also recently ruled in favor of Hawaiians on the Ewa Marino case. All indications show that in order to he consistent with his previous rulings, he will rule favorably in t'nis case. If that happens, then he will overturn the LUG decision and the applicant will have to resubmit an application for a change of zone from conservation land no urban district to the LOC. Howev,) this time, cultural resources, religious practices, shoreline gathering, public access, and the use of the ahupua'a concept will have to be worked into this development. This will be the modeJ for all future developments. The developer will. have to actively protect the interests of the Hawaiian in terms of land usage.

As you will note the letters are in reference to the following: 10-15-98 - Regarding the signature of Leimana DaMate - The letter states that her signature is unauthorized and not valid. This is in error. Her signature is valid and she did have and presently still has the authorization to act on behalf of the KHCC. 11-6-98 - Regarding statements pertaining to Leimana DaMate and Curtis Tyler arbitrarily making decisions that represent their own personal agenda and other statements which wrongfully indicated that Leimana DaMate's signature was illegal and that Curtis Tyler wanted Gene Leslie, the President of the KHCC to write a letter rescinding his first letter which in fact was an action that was made by the board of directors by majority vote. The Board of Directors wishes to retract those statements and others which were made. The President of the KHCC took it upon himself to act without Board approval and was not authorized to speak nor had he sought Board approval prior to sending the two letters noted. Purther, at a KHCC Board of Directors' Meeting on October 26, 1998, the President was required by majority vote to write a letter to you that the KHCC would continue to participate in the Ka upulehu issues and that Leimana DaMate was authorized by the Board of Directors to act on behalf of the club. That letter was to have been sent to you within five working days. Unfortunately, that letter was never sent. P.O. Box 4098, Kailua-Knna, Hawaii 96745 FHFLU GNP H11 PEF-,'F'D 803 334 1305 P.
