ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
County Zoning Conditions, Ordinance No. 93-66
Liliuokalani Trust Keahuolu Lands - Phase I Mauka Urban District
October 2, 1998
Introduction and Summary
This is a report on the status of development of Liliuokalani Trust's 315-acre Phase I Urban
District in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and the extent to which conditions of approval are being
complied with. It is being submitted in compliance with Condition (P) of Hawaii County
Ordinance No. 93-66. Listed below are each of the conditions, presented in italics,
followed by the status report in regular type.
In summary, construction of required onsite and offsite infrastructure for the first increment
of development was completed in November 1994. Kmart opened on November 17,
1994, and Liberty House opened June 28, 1997.
On December 7, 1996, the County approved Amendment 96-160 to Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code relating to zoning. Section 25-3-1 (b) of 96-160 redesignated all
building sites within the Commercial Office (CO) District as General Commercial (CG)
District; therefore, all references to CO in Ordinance 93-66 should be considered as CG in
this report.
Condition (A) The applicant, its successors or assigns, hereinafter collectively referred to
as "the applicant," shall be responsible for complying with all of the stated conditions of
approval.
The applicant, Liliuokalani Trust, acknowledges and will continue to comply with this
condition as it develops its 315-acre Makalapua project.
Condition (B) The changes in district classification shall become effective in two
increments. The first increment shall be comprised of "Lot 1" consisting of 49.9 acres
zoned CG-10 and the second increment shall be comprised of "Lot 2" consisting of the
remaining 265.1 acres, of which 123.9 acres are zoned CG-10, 28 acres zoned Open and
113.2 acres zoned CO-10, both increments are as described in Exhibit "8" attached
hereto and made a part hereof. The rezoning for Lot 1 shall become effective when the
applicant either (1) has received a written commitment from the Department of Water
Supply, subject only to reasonable and customary limitations on the water usage and
availability, for the amount of water supply deemed necessary for the applicant's proposed
uses within Lot 1; or (2) has provided assurances satisfactory to the Departments of Water
Supply and Planning, upon consultation with the State Department of Health and State
Department of Land and Natural Resources, that a water source(s) of sufficient quality and
quantity for the applicant's proposed uses within Lot 1 has (have) been established, and
that an agreement has been entered into with the County through its Departments of Water
Supply and Planning, together with the appropriate bond, surety or other security deemed
acceptable by the Planning Director, for the actual development of a proven source(s) and
its water transmission and distribution system. The rezoning for Lot 2 shall become
effective when the applicant has provided assurances satisfactory to the Departments of
Water Supply and Planning„ upon consultation with the State Department of Health and
-1-
the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, that a water source(s) of sufficient
quality and quantity for the applicant's proposed uses within Lot 2 has (have) been
established and has entered into an agreement with the County through its Departments of
Water Supply and Planning, together with the appropriate bond, surety or other security
deemed acceptable by the Planning Director, for the actual development of a proven
source(s) and its water transmission and distribution system. Provided, however, that the
applicant shall fulfill the requirements of this condition for the zoning of Lot 1 within three
(3) years from the effective date of this ordinance and for zoning of Lot 2 within five (5)
years after the effective date of zoning for Lot 1. No time extensions granted pursuant to
Condition (R) of this ordinance shall cumulatively exceed one (1) year for each lot,
notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary contained therein. The actual
effective date of zoning for each lot shall be certified in writing by the Planning Director
upon the determination that the applicant has satisfied the requirements of Condition (e)
for each lot.
The first part of this condition regarding the effective date of zoning for Lot 1 (49.9 acs.) has
been completed and certified and October 4, 1993 is the effective date of zoning of Lot 1.
Construction of the water system for Lot 1 (well, pump, control building, reservoir,
waterline, and access road) is complete and the system was accepted by the Hawaii
County Water Commission in August 1996.
A time extension of one (1) year has been requested and approved for Lot 2 to fulfill the
requirements of this condition and Condition R. A copy of the approval is attached.
Condition (C) A Master Plan for the subject property (Phase 1 consisting of 315 acres)
shall be submitted to the Planning Director within one (1) year from the effective date of
the rezoning of Lot 1. The Master Plan shall set forth and generally describe the following:
size and shape of each development phase (A-1, A-2, A-3, etc.), the proposed uses therein,
infrastructure systems including public facilities, roadways and bike lanes, estimated
phasing of infrastructure and site development, landscaping and environmental/physical
theme or image, and other topics deemed appropriate by the applicant.
A master plan was submitted and accepted by the County in October 1994.
Condition (D) A detailed Historic Preservation Plan to treat the 32 significant historic sites
in the project area and for data recovery of 123 sites significant for their information
content shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department, in consultation with
the State Department of Land and Natural Resources-Historic Preservation Division, prior
to submitting plans for plan approval review or subdivision review, whichever occurs first.
This Plan shall consist of a detailed archaeological data recovery plan (scope of work with
research design) and a detailed preservation plan. The Planning Department and the State
Department of Land and Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division shall verify in
writing the successful execution of the plan, prior to land altering activities in the area of
historic sites. Proposed mitigation treatment (preservation in place or
disinterment/reinterment) for burial sites must be approved by the State Department of
Land and Natural Resources before detailed mitigation plans are finalized for these sites.
The archaeological mitigation plan for the entire project area (Phases I, II, and III Urban
District lands) was approved by the State Historic Preservation Division, with concurrence
from the County Planning Director. All mitigation required for the Kmart and Liberty
-2-
House building projects as well as the needed infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, etc.) for
those projects has been completed. The State Historic Preservation Division has agreed
that all remaining archaeological work in the 315-acre Phase I Urban District area,
including the 28-acre archaeological preserve, needs to be completed by January 1, 1999.
An extension can be requested if no development is occurring and the archaeological sites
are not threatened. In a letter dated June 5, 1998, SHPD agreed to defer completion of the
preservation plan for the 28-acre preserve until adjacent parcels are developed. A copy of
the letter is attached.
A detailed mitigation plan is being prepared by Paul H. Rosendahl, Inc., archaeologist for
the portion of the Kings Trail mauka of Queen Kaahumanu Highway. Upon completion,
this plan will be submitted to the State and County for approval.
The Trust is working with community groups to develop an approach to the
archaeological work needed in the 28-acre preserve.
Condition Should any unidentified sites or remains of such as artifacts, shell, bone, or
charcoal deposits, human burials, rock or coral alignments, paving, or walks be
encountered, work in the immediate area shall cease and the Planning Department shall
be immediately notified. Subsequent work shall proceed upon an archaeological
clearance from the Planning Department when it finds sufficient mitigative measures have
been taken.
The applicant acknowledges and will continue to comply with this condition as it
proceeds with the Makalapua project.
Condition (F) Preliminary vehicular access to Lot 1 from Queen Kaahumanu Highway
(i.e., Queen Liliuokalani Blvd.) shall meet with the approval of the State Department of
Transportation and preliminary vehicular access to Lot 1 from Palani Road (i.e., Main
Street Promenade) shall meet with the approval of the Department of Public Works. The

Liliuokalani Blvd. and Palani Road, in two (2) stages. The first stage shall consist of a
preliminary vehicular access (hereinaker defined as road improvements constructed to
non-dedicable standards meeting with the safety and design requirements of the
Department of Public Works) connecting Queen Liliuokalani Boulevard to Palani Road
prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for Lot 1. The second stage shall
consist of upgrading the preliminary vehicular access to dedicable standards including
curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements concomitant with the development of all CG-10
zoned lands. The appropriate incremental plans for these roadway improvements shall be
submitted to the Department of Public Works for review and approval.
The portion of this condition covering the first stage has been met. Incremental plans for
improvement of Kamakaeha Avenue to dedicable standards (second stage) will be
submitted to the Department of Public Works at the appropriate time, upon development
of the CG-10 zoned lands outside the first increment (Lot 1).
Condition (G) Vehicular access points onto Queen Liliuokalani Boulevard shall meet
with the approval of the Department of Public Works. The Queen Liliuokalani Boulevard
shall be constructed and connected between Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the "Mid-
level Road" in two (2) stages. The first stage shall consist of a preliminary vehicular access
-3-
(as defined in Condition F) connecting Lot 1 with Queen Kaahumanu Highway. The
preliminary vehicular access shall be extended toward the Mid-Level Road on an
incremental basis concomitant with each related phase of development. The second stage
shall consist of upgrading the preliminary vehicular access to dedicable standards
including curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements, concomitant with the development of
CO-10 zoned lands with Lot 2.
Construction of the first stage of Makala Boulevard was completed October 1994. Makala
Boulevard will be incrementally extended toward the Mid-Level Road as subsequent
phases of the Makalapua project are developed.
Condition (H) The applicant shall install improvements, which may include signalization
at the "Main Street Promenade"/Palani Road intersection meeting the approval of the
Department of Public Works. The strip of land fronting the subject property for additional
right-of--way along Palani Road to allow for future road widening to the 80-foot right-of-
way mandated by the County General Plan shall be subdivided and dedicated to the
County upon its request. The applicant shall construct an extension of Luhia Street
connecting to Queen Liliuokalani Boulevard as a preliminary vehicular access (as defined
in Condition F) meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works, on or by
December 31, 1995. Prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy for any portion of
Lot 1, the applicant shall construct the proposed Queen Liliuokalani Boulevard extension
west (makai) to connect with Kuakini Highway as a preliminary vehicular access (as
defined in Condition F) meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works,
except that, that portion of the extension of Kuakini Highway to the Queen Kaahumanu
Boulevard extension may consist of upgraded improvements meeting with the approval of
the Department of Public Works.
This condition, including the dedication of the additional right-of-way along Palani Road,
has been met. The strip of land for the additional right-of-way has been subdivided, and
the dedication to Hawaii County is complete.

basis of archaeological surveys and reports which may impact the layout and design of the
"Mid-Level Road." The applicant shall dedicate to the county upon its request the portion
of lands owned by the applicant as delineated within the right-of--way of the "Mid-Level
Road" which includes its extension south of Palani Road to the southern boundary of the
ahupua'a of Keahuolu. Provided that the dedication of lands for any portion of the "Mid-
level Road" or its extension shall not be required prior to the applicant's receipt of a
Certificate of Occupancy for Lot 1. Any participation from the applicant in the funding and
dedication of roadway and traffic improvements shall not exceed its pro rata share of said
improvements made necessary by the increased traffic resulting from the applicant's
development of the subject property.
The applicant acknowledges and will comply with the condition requiring dedication of
land for the Mid-Level Road right-of-way. The dedication of the right-of-way for the
extension of the Mid-Level Road from Palani Road to the southern boundary of the
ahupua'a has been completed, and Maryl Development has completed the building of
Henry Street within this right-of-way. No additional archaeological surveys have been
completed which may impact the layout and design of the yet to be built portion of the
"Mid-Level Road" from Palani Road to the boundary between Keahuolu and Kealakehe.

Dear Ms. Sakai:
SUBJECT: Long-range Preservation Plan for the Mamalahoa Trail
and other Sites in the Archaeological Preserve,
Liliuokalani Trust Keahuolu Lands
Keahuolu, North Kona, Hawaii Island
TMK: 7-4-08: Por. 2; 7-4-20:9, l4 and 22
This is in reply to your letter of May 18, 1998 regarding along-range historic preservation plan for the
Mamalahoa Trail and other sites in the archaeological preserve situated in die subject parcels.
You indicate that Liliuokalani Trust is prepared to complete a preservation plan for the Mamalahoa Trail
at this time, but would like to defer completion of the plan for the archaeological preserve. This proposal
meets with our approval, with the understanding that: (1) the plan for the preserve is completed before the
adjacent parcels are developed, and (2) an archaeological inventory survey of the preserve area is
completed before the preservation plan is developed. We would also like you to give us some idea of when
you think the survey and plan would be completed.
If you should have any questions please contact our Hawaii Island archaeologist, Patrick McCoy (587-

Dear Mr. Kudo and Ms. Uyeno:
ChanEe of Zone Ordinance No. 93 66 (REZ 743)
Applicant: Liliuokalani Trust
Subject: Request for Administrative Time Extension
7-4-R• Pnr 17
This is to aclalowledge receipt of your letter dated August 18, 1998, requesting a one year
time extension to Condition R of the above-referenced ordinance.
Condition B of the ordinance states that requirements for the effective date of Lot 2 will be
within five (5) years from the effective date of zoning for Lot 1 or by October 4, 1998.
You have indicated that the request for a time extension has been brought about by
Liliuokalani Trust's inability to commit funds to satisfy the infrastructure requirements for Lot
2. It is our understanding that Liliuoltalani Trust has entered into an agreement with the Meryl
Group to assist in the development of the remainder of Lot 1, and that the development of Lot
2 will wmmence upon the completion of Lot 1.
Condition R of the approved change of zone ordinance allows the Planning Director to grant
an extension of time for performance of conditions within the ordinance. We have determined
that non-performance is a result of circumstances beyond the applicant's control and not a
result of fault or negligence, and hereby grants a one year extension of time until
October 4, 1999, to comply with Condition B.
