This report will indicate the status of the development and compliance with the conditions of approval for Ordinance 96-7, which changed the zoning designation of 756 acres from Unplanned ([J) to Agriculture (A-la), Ordinance 96-8, which changed the zoning designation of 684 acres from Unplanned (IJ) and Agriculture (A-Sa) to Agriculture (A-la), and SMA Ordinance 356 which 74-5620 A Palani Road was issued to allow development of portions of the agricultural subdivision along with related facilities and infrastructure improvements. snits 200 Archaeology Kailua-Kona, Haazaii Oceanside has contracted with a professional archaeological consultant firm to vh74o-r6zs prepare the required archaeological mitigation and interpretation plans including a data recovery plan, an interim protection/preservation plan and along-term Tai: xox-~zh-z~~rh preservation plan in consultation with DLNR and Hawauan community organizations. As required by the conditions in the ordinances, approved mitigation measures will Pax: sos-az~a7ra be implemented prior to or in conjunction with any land alteration on the property. This activity will allow us to fulfill our obligations under Condition H of Ordinance 96-7, Condition G of Ordinance 96-8 and Condition 4 of SMA Ordinance 356. ~~~4r~~ Ms. Virginia Goldstein January 18, 1999 Page Two Mamalahoa Highway Bypass The Mamalahoa Highway Bypass is designed to address existing traffic conditions in the area and to provide an alternative route for interregional traffic between North and South Kona in support of the County's long range traffic plan, as well as providing for Oceanside's project at buildout. Oceanside 1250 has made further refinements to the Bypass route based on extensive, ongoing discussions with the various landowners. Now that the aligrunent issues have been agreed to by the landowners, we are completing a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the roadway. The DEIS will be submitted to the County of Hawaii Department of Public Works, who will be the accepting agency for the DEIS as well as the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The Department of Public Works is also the responsible agency for determining the final alignment, roadway standards and construction specifications for the Bypass. Oceanside has continued its discussions with each of the landowners along the route regarding acquisition ofright-of--way sufficient to build the road, and in the instance of several landowners, we have finalized options to purchase these portions of the right-of--way. Pro¢ress on the Bypass will allow us to fulfill Condition M in Ordinance 96-7 and Condition L in Ordinance 96-8. Shoreline Park Oceanside has completed the public access and shoreline management plan regarding public access areas, perpetual access covenants, azchaeology, marine resources and related improvement measures. The plan has been submitted to the Planning Director for approval. Development of this plan will help allow Oceanside to comply with Condition K in Ordinance 96-7 and Condition H in Ordinance 96-8. Ms. Virginia Goldstein January 18, 1999 Page Three Development Agreement Earlier this yeu:, Oceanside 1250 acid Hawaii County entered a Development Agreement to identify the obligations of Oceanside, to provide assurance that these obligations are met in a timely manner, to provide assurances to Oceanside that it may complete full development of the Project, to allow Oceanside and the County to enter a reimbursement agreement for costs associated with the Bypass, and to reduce or eliminate uncertainty in the responsibilities of Oceanside and the County relating to the development of the project. 1'he scope and purpose of the development agreemem is consistent with Ordinance 93-37, the Development Agreement Code and Rule I, which implements procedures for the application, preparation and administration of development agreements as provided by Ordinance 93-37. The Development Agreement was executed and approved by the Mayor and Oceanside on April 20, 1998. The Development Agreement will, in part, allow us to fulfill the terms of Condition M in Ordinance 96-7 and Condition L in Ordinance 96-8. Subdivision On December 9, 1998, the Planning Department issued tentative approval of the preliminary plat man for 387 lots plus roadways and easements for the first increment of residential agricultural lots in the project. This approval fulfills part of Condition C of Ordinance 96-8 which indicates tentative subdivision approval which must be secured within four years of the effective date of the rezoning. Annual Progress Report This report is meant to fulfill our obligation to prepare an annual progress report as stated in Condition R of Ordinance 96-7, Condition V in Ordinance 96-8, and Condition 13 in SMA Ordinance 356. Ms. Virginia Goldstein January 18,1999 Page Four Other Items Currently, Oceanside is preparing flood and drainage studies, a solid waste management plan and a natural resource management plan for the project. These items will allow us to fulfill conditions G & J in Ordinance 96-7, conditions F & K in Ordinance 96-8 and conditions 6 and 7 in SMA Ordinance 356. There aze no other items to report that affect the status ofthe Project as it relates to the conditions of these ordinances. Oceanside 1250 intends to meet all of the terms and comply with all of the conditions that are specified within these ordinances. Oceanside will also comply with all applicable laws, rules regulations and requirements in development of the Project. I trust the above provides a useful description of the status of development and compliance with the conditions of approval for the ordinances.
