Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 12-10(e), 12-27 and 12-28, Hawaii County Code,
notice is hereby given of the following:
1. General Details of Proposed Improvements
This Improvement District is being initiated by the Hawaii County Council for the design and
installation of a public sewer system for the Lono Kona Subdivision (the "Special
Improvements"), as more fully described in an amended report on the proposed establishment of
the Improvement District from the Director of the Hawaii County Department of Environmental
Management(Communication No. 492.1) dated December 11, 2013 (including the Exhibits
attached thereto, the "Director's Report"). The Director's Report includes, among other things:
(i) a map showing the locations of the Special Improvements; (ii) a preliminary assessment roll
for the Improvement District; (iii) a description of assessment units to be assessed within the
Improvement District, including the method of assessment of each assessment unit, the
maximum proposed assessment for each assessment unit and a list of all known owners of the
assessment units; and (iv) an estimate of the costs of the Special Improvements by the Director
of the Department of Environmental Management.
Scope and Location ofSpecial Improvements. This Improvement District consists of 145
"assessment units" (i.e., subdivided parcels or condominium units) on 110 lots within the Lono
Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
Kona Subdivision, as identified (by tax map key number and property owner) in the preliminary
assessment roll included in the Director's Report as Exhibit F thereto. The Special
Improvements will include, without limitation:
• 5,640 Lin. Ft., 8-inch PVC SDR-26 sewer pipe and fittings;
• 360 Lin. Ft., 10-inch PVC SDR-26 sewer pipe and fittings;
• 29 Each, sewer manholes 5.0' to 9.5' deep;
• 4 Each, lined shallow drop sewer manholes 10.0' to 14.99' deep;
• 1 Each, lined drop sewer manholes 15.00' to 20.00' deep; and
• 110 Each, sewer lateral connections.
Estimated Cost of Special Improvements. The total estimated cost of the Improvement District is
$6,461,800. Assuming the project costs to be equal to such estimate, and, further assuming a
U.S.D.A. Rural Utilities Service Grant in the amount of$4,024,800 to be applied against the
project costs, the net project costs would be $2,437,000.
Method of Assessment. Each assessment unit existing as of the date that assessments begin to
accrue shall be subject to an assessment calculated by:
(1) dividing the Net Project Costs by the total number of single-family equivalents
("SFEs") represented by all assessment units in the Improvement District, and
(2) with respect to each assessment unit, multiplying the amount determined pursuant to
(1) above by the number of SFEs represented by such assessment unit.
SFEs reflect estimated wastewater generation by land use (specifically, single-family, duplex,
apartment or commercial), as determined in the manner set forth in the Director's Report based on
(i) each assessment unit's existing land use, or (ii) in the case of vacant land, the existing zoning for
such land. Assuming net project costs of$2,437,000, the anticipated assessment per SFE will be
$9,868.00. The total assessment for each assessment unit will depend on the number of SFEs
represented by that unit, as set forth in the preliminary assessment roll included in the Director's
Report as Exhibit F thereto.
Financing Through Bonds. The County intends to issue general obligation bonds to finance all
or a portion of the net project costs of the Special Improvements. Assessments collected by the
County will be used to pay or reimburse the County for payments of principal and interest on
such bonds and/or costs not financed by the bonds.
Prepayment Options. Unless paid in full, assessments will be payable in quarterly installments
sufficient to meet the principal and interest requirements for the County's general obligation bonds
issued for the Improvement District until they mature. A property owner's assessment may be paid to
the Director of Finance in full,without additional charges, at any time within 30 days after the date of
the last publication of the ordinance to set the Improvement District assessments. After this 30-day
period,property owners will also be permitted to prepay the unpaid balance of their assessments in full,
