On July 15, 1996, the Land Use Commission approved an Order Granting
Motion to Amend Conditions of Approval, amending Conditions 1, 4 and 5 as follows:
1) Petitioner shall provide affordable housing opportunities for
low to moderate residents in the State of Hawaii to the
satisfaction of the County of Hawaii. The location and
distribution of the affordable housing or other provisions for
affordable housing shall be under such terms as may be
mutually agreeable between the Petitioner and the County of
Hawaii.
4) Petitioner shall fund, design and construct necessary local and
regional roadway improvements necessitated by the proposed
project in designs, and schedules accepted by the State
Department of Transportation and the County of Hawaii.
5) Prior to the occupancy of the first house in the subject project,
the Petitioner shall provide afair-share contribution for school

See, Exhibit A attached to Applicant's second annual report dated January 13, 1997

White Hat Development Corp.'s Application for Planned Unit Development (hereinafter the
"PUD") for the construction of a residential subdivision comprised of a maximum of 108
single-family units on the Project site, with a final unit count pending final action on
subdivision design drawings under review by the agency. Subsequently, in light of the
Virginia Goldstein

downturn in the real estate market experienced across the State and in the Kailua-Kona
area, Applicant downsized its original subdivision plans and was granted tentative approval
fora 50-lot residential subdivision on October 11, 1996. See, Exhibit B attached to
Applicant's Second Annual Report.

Development (hereinafter "OHCD") and the County Housing Agency to determine whether
certain zoning preemptions could be utilized for the Project, pursuant to Hawaii Revised
Statutes Sections 201E-201 and 201E-210. As a result, the County authorized exemption of
the Project from specific zoning, subdivision and roadway codes and requirements, as set
forth in Resolution No. 34-97 (Draft 2) adopted by the County Council effective February
7, 1997, thereby exempting the project from further PUD review. See, Exhibit A attached
to Applicant's third annual report dated December 26, 1997 (hereinafter "Applicant's Third

1997, which certified Applicant as an "Affordable Housing Developer", pursuant to Hawaii
County Code Chapter 2, Article 19, Section 2-110(a)(5). See, Exhibit B attached to
Applicant's Third Annual Report. On March 21, 1997, Applicant and the County entered
into an Agreement, which required that all 50 house-and-lot units in the Project be offered
for sale to affordable housing target group purchasers within the County, pursuant to the
requirements of OHCD. In its September 4, 1997 letter, OHCD determined that Applicant
could offer units for sale "without regard to income, ownership of property, owner-
occupancy and price restrictions, and reduced the required owner-occupant period for said
units from ten to three years. Subsequently, on September 17, 1997, the County executed a
Release of the aforementioned March 21, 1997 affordable housing agreement. See,
Exhibits C to E attached to Applicant's Third Annual Report.
Lastly, on May 28, 1998, Applicant was granted final subdivision approval
for its 50-lot residential subdivision, and recorded its final revised plat map for the
