AMENDMENT TO CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 09159 (REZ 09-98) KONA COUNTRY CLUB, INC.has submitted an application to for a time extension request for Condition D (Time to Complete Construction) of Ordinance No. 09-159, which reclassified 51.058 acres of land from an Agricultural 5-acre (A-5a) to a Multiple-Family Residential 30,000 square feet(RM-30) zoning district. The subject property is located mauka of the Mamalahoa Highway Bypass,between the Highway and the Kona Country Club mauka golf course, Keauhou Resort, Keauhou,North Kona, Hawai`i, TMK: (3) 7-8-010:101. APPLICANT'S REQUEST AND REASONS 1.Applicant's Request: The applicant is requesting a five(5)-Year Time Extension for Condition D (Time to Complete Construction), which states: Construction of the proposed development shall be completed within five (5)years from the effective date of the ordinance. Prior to construction, the applicant, successors or assigns shall secure Final Plan Approvalfor the proposed development in accordance with Section 25-2- 70, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Hawai`i County Code. Plans shall identify all existing and/or proposed structures,paved driveway access and parking stalls associated with the proposed development. Landscaping shall also be indicated on the plans for the purpose of mitigating any adverse noise or visual impacts to adjacent properties in accordance with the requirements of Planning Department's Rule No. 17 Landscaping Requirements), Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Hawai`i County Code. An updated traffic assessment shall be submitted in conjunction with the plans for Plan Approval. Should the assessment, subject to concurrence by the Planning Director and Public Works Director, conclude that the project is anticipated to generate fifty or more peak hour trips, then a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TZAR)pursuant to the concurrency requirements of Section 25-2-46(d), Chapter 25 (Hawai`i County Code) shall be prepared and submitted for the review and approval of the Planning Director and the Public Works Director. All recommended traffic mitigation outlined in the TIAR shall be implemented prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the first residential unit within the project area." 2.Applicant's Reasons for the Request: The applicant initially proposed to develop a maximum of sixty(60) single- and multiple-family residential units and related amenities 1- with the intent of having them used as vacation rental units. In trying to address the various rezoning conditions such as water, archaeology, and emergency access, the plan was scaled back to twenty-nine(29) single-family dwellings with related amenities, including a recreation center, and to possibly include a pavilion or lanai, swimming pool, and a barbeque area. In the July 23, 2012 letter requesting an administrative time extension, it was noted that after the rezoning was approved, the applicant promptly sought to address a number of the archaeological and cultural-related zoning conditions. That combined with the then sagging economy, affected the applicant's ability to finalize the financing of its project at that time. However, with much of the"soft"work done and the uptick in the economy, the applicant believes it can secure the required financing to complete the construction plans and develop the project within the requested 5-year extended timeframe. 3.Landowner: Kona Country Club, Inc. 4.Supportive Information: The applicant has submitted the attached in support of the request: (P.D. Exhibit 1 -Application for Time Extension dated December 30,2019 and Additional Information dated January 6,2020) CHRONOLOGY OF LAND USE PERMITTING 5.December 30, 2009: Effective date of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 09 159 approved by the County Council, which reclassified 51.058 acres of land from an Agricultural 5- acre (A-5a)to a Multiple-Family Residential 30,000 square feet(RM-30) zoning district. The applicant initially proposed to develop a maximum of sixty(60) single-and multiple- family residential units and related amenities (see Exhibit A in the application). 6.August 8,2012: The Planning Director granted an administrative time extension to Condition D (Time to Complete Construction)until December 30, 2019. (see Exhibit B in the application). 7.August 28,2012: Final Plan Approval (PLA-12-000869) was issued by the Planning Department to allow the development of twenty-nine(29) single-family dwellings with related amenities, including a clubhouse and swimming pool (see Exhibit E in the application). This approval has since lapsed, and the applicant will be required to submit new plans for Final Plan Approval prior to construction. 2- 8.December 30,2019: Date the applicant submitted their request for time extension and other amendments to Ordinance No. 09 159. STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 9.State Land Use Designation: Urban. 10. General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map: Urban Expansion UE), which allows for a mix of high density, medium density, low density, industrial, industrial-commercial and/or open designations in areas where new settlements may be desirable,but where the specific settlement pattern and mix of uses have not yet been determined. 12. County Zoning: Multiple-Family Residential-30,000 square feet(RM-30). 13. Kona Community Development Plan (CDP): The Kona CDP, adopted by the Hawai`i County Council by Ordinance No. 08 131 on September 25, 2008, identifies the area as situated within the"Kona Urban Area." Portions of the Kona CDP were recently amended under Ordinance No. 19 91. 14. Special Management Area: The subject property is situated fully within the SMA but does not have shoreline frontage. On September 22, 2009, the Planning Commission approved SMA Use Permit No. 09-000034 to allow the development of a mix of 60 single- and multiple-family residential units and related improvements. The effective date of this permit was concurrent with the effective date of the subject rezone ordinance. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA 15. Project Site: The subject, irregularly shaped property is situated at the southern end of Ali`i Drive and the beginning of the Mamalahoa Highway Bypass, east(mauka) of the highway and west(makai) of the Kona Country Club mauka golf course in the Keauhou Resort. The subject parcel is currently vacant of any structures or other improvements. 16. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Surrounding parcels include the Kona Country Club mauka golf course to the north and east(zoned Open), open space zoned A-5a west and south of the site, and a future access road to the south. 17. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM): Zone X(area of minimal flood hazard determined to be outside of the Special Flood Hazard Area). 3- 18. Archaeological/Historical Resources: In compliance with Condition N of the subject Change of Zone Ordinance, the applicant submitted an updated Archaeological Inventory Survey(AIS),which was approved by the State Historic Preservation Division(SHPD) in 2012. The AIS identified 52 archaeological sites, including 22 sites that were recommended for data recovery fieldwork. Of those,nine(9) sites were considered possible burials, eight(8) of which were recommended for exploration through data recovery fieldwork. The AIS further identified six (6)non-burial sites recommended for preservation, one(1) site recommended for preservation given its proximity to an identified burial and one(1) site recommended for a combination of data recovery and preservation. Based on this proposed mitigation, the applicant submitted and SHPD approved the following plans: a Final Archaeological Data Recovery Plan in 2013; a Burial Treatment Plan for three (3)burial sites with concurrence from the Hawaii Island Burial Council that the sites should be preserved in place in 2014; an Archaeological Preservation Plan outlining specific mitigation commitments and preservation measures for eight (8) sites in 2014; and an Archaeological Monitoring Plan in 2014. 19. Cultural Resources: Condition P of the subject Change of Zone Ordinance required that a completed Cultural Impact Assessment(CIA)be approved by SHPD. By letter dated July 18, 2012,the Planning Department confirmed receipt of the document in compliance with Condition P and noted that according to the CIA's author(Cultural Surveys Hawai`i), there is no formal approval process for a CIA. 20. Flora/Fauna Resources: According to the applicant, no formal study was submitted. The majority of the site is bare of vegetation and grading and construction will occur in selected areas of the property. The non-graded areas of the property will be retained as much as possible in their natural state and possibly supplemented with plants that already grow in the area. The applicant does not expect any listed, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species within or near the project site. With sparse vegetation, the project site provides only a limited habitat for fauna. 21. Visual Impacts: The proposed development will not impact views of the Kona coastline for motorists traveling on Alii Drive and Mamalahoa Highway Bypass, as the property is located mauka of the roadways. The property is not noted as an area of natural beauty in 4- the General Plan. 22. Public Access: The property is located more than 1,700 feet from the shoreline and mauka of other resort properties. Existing public accesses to and along the shoreline will not be impacted by the project. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 23. Access: The primary proposed access to the project site is from the Mamalahoa Highway Bypass. An existing permitted access connection is available on Mamalahoa Highway Bypass for the property and lands mauka of the Kona Country Club Golf Course. This access connection coincides with an existing unsignalized, channelized intersection and the location of a portion of the project site. The applicant proposed to improve the access from the highway intersection to the proposed residential portion of the project site. The Department of Public Works recommended the construction of a collector roadway from the Mamalahoa Highway Bypass to the project access to County dedicable standards and Condition F of the subject ordinance reflected this requirement. The application indicated that the required roadway construction was complete, although the improvements have not yet been dedicated to the County. However, according to DPW, there are outstanding punch lists' from the DPW Engineering and Traffic Divisions that need to be satisfied to deem construction complete and eligible for roadway dedication to the County. Condition E of the subject change of zone Ordinance requires plans submitted for Final Plan Approval reflect a minimum ten(10)-foot wide emergency evacuation access route that extends from the project's easterly boundary, through the existing golf course and up to any point along Ali`i Drive. The emergency access route is required to be improved to an unpaved road,but reasonably compact enough to accommodate vehicles leaving the project site and an access easement recorded prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the first residential unit within the project area. This emergency access is reflected in the site plan for the proposed 29-unit development. 24. Traffic: The applicant submitted two (2)Traffic Assessments (TA), conducted by Austin, Tsutsumi &Associates for both the current proposed 29-dwelling unit residential development as well as a TA for a larger, 60-dwelling unit development currently entitled by density and SMA Use Permit for the project site. According to the latter TA, "The trip 5- generation projectedfor the 60-unit project indicates that a total of 13 vehicles per hour vph) are anticipated during the AM commuter peak hour of traffic and a total of 17 vph are anticipated during the PM commuter peak hour of traffic, and thus the Project does not meet the minimum criteria of 50 peak hour trips specified in the Zoning Code's Concurrency Requirements to require a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR). " 25. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply(DWS), there are a total of sixty 60) water units available to the subject parcel (12 units of water allocated and a commitment for 48 additional units of water through July 31, 2020 and subject to renewal). Condition C of the subject change of zone Ordinance requires the applicant, successors or assigns to construct water improvements outlined in DWS' July 29, 2009 memorandum prior to obtaining Certificate of Occupancy. In response to a request for comment for the subject amendment request, DWS submitted correspondences confirming water availability and outlining additional requirements, including the development of a Water Master Plan to ensure provision of adequate water pressure and volume under peak-flow and fire-flow conditions, and any water improvements required to meet those provisions. Additionally, DWS articulated standard necessary water system improvements, facilities charge amount and remittance instructions, and water improvement conveyance requirements. 26. Wastewater: Condition H of the subject Change of Zone Ordinance requires all wastewater to be disposed of in the Keauhou Resort's sewer system. 27. Solid Waste: Condition M of the subject Change of Zone Ordinance required the applicant to submit a Solid Waste Management Plan for approval by the Department of Environmental Management(DEM)prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval. DEM approved the applicant's Solid Waste Management Plan on July 18. 2012. 28. Essential Utilities, Police, Fire and Medical Services: All essential utility and services are available to the project site. Police and fire services are available from the Kailua- Kona station, approximately eight miles from the project site. Medical services are available at the Kona Hospital in Kealakekua. 6- AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS' COMMENTS 29. Department of Water Supply: (P.D.

Ordinance No.09 159(REZ 09-000098) Keauhou,North Kona,Hawaii,TMK: 7-8-010: 101 In a letter,dated December 30, 2019, I transmitted the subject matter for your review and processing. In the report, reference was made to an updated Traffic Assessment predicated upon a project consisting of no more than forty(40)resort/residential units. Inasmuch as the project's density could realize a maximum of sixty(60)units, I made an extrapolation of the findings of that report to help justify that the maximum density would still not generate more than fifty(50) AM/PM peak hour movements. The traffic consultant was asked to subsequently make its own assessment, which corroborated my extrapolation. That assessment,dated January 2, 2020 and attached herein, concluded that the maximum sixty(60)resort/residential project would"generate 17 or less total trips (enter and exit)during each of the AM and PM commuter peak hours of traffic." Hence, the project does not meet the concurrency requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis Report. Should you have questions on this matter,please feel free to contact me.

(ATA) has conducted a Traffic Assessment Study for the proposed 50-acre parcel for the development of resort residential units located within Keauhou, on the island of Hawaii. Project Description We understand that the developer proposes to develop no more than 60 resort dwelling units on the 50-acre site located on the makai side of the Kona Country Club Golf Course, hereinafter referred to as the "Project." In addition to these 60 dwelling units, the Project will provide an owner's service facility that will include a restaurant and spa. Use of these facilities will be limited only to homeowners and their guests. Direct vehicular access to the site will he provided via Mamalahoa Bypass Road, which connects to Alii Drive at its northern terminus. The parcel is further defined as a portion of TMK: (3) 7-8-010:030. Figure 1 shows the location of the Project. Existing Roadways In the immediate vicinity of the Project, traffic is served by Alii Drive and Kuakini Highway which are two-way, two-lane roads generally oriented in the north-south direction. Alii Drive generally follows the coastline providing a link between Keauhou and Kailua-Kona. Kuakini Highway provides an inland parallel route that generally links the Kealakekua area to Kailua-Kona. Background Section 25-2-46 Concurrency Requirements of the Hawaii County Code requires that a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) be conducted if the Project generates more than 50 peak hour trips. The focus of this Traffic Assessment will be on the trip generation potential of the 60 resort dwelling units utilizing applicable trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 10th Edition.

Trip Generation A review of the trip rates published by ITE in Trip Generation, 10th Edition, indicates that the Project is most closely represented by Land Use Code 260 — Recreational Homes. ITE defines this land use as: A recreational home is located within a resort that contains local services and complete recreational facilities. These dwellings are often second homes used by the owner periodically or rented on a seasonal basis." Land Use Code 260 does not differentiate between single-family dwellings and multi- family dwellings; however, the clustering of units together does not impact the overall travel characteristics of the Project. Since the restaurant and spa will only be used by homeowners and guests, no external vehicular trips would be generated by these services. The trip generation projection for the Project will be based on the worst-case 60-unit scenario and is shown in Table 1. Table 1 Trip Generation AM Peak Hour of PM Peak Hour of Traffic Traffic No. of Enter Exit Enter Exit Land Use Designation Units vph) vph) vph) vph) Recreational Homes 60 9 4 7 10 The trip generation project for the 60-unit Project indicates that a total of 13 vehicles per hour (vph) are anticipated during the AM commuter peak hour of traffic and a total of 17 vph are anticipated during the PM commuter peak hour of traffic. Conclusions The following are the conclusions of the Traffic Assessment Study. The 60-unit Project is the worst-case scenario and will generate 17 or less total trips enter and exit) during each of the AM and PM commuter peak hours of traffic. The peak hour traffic generated impacts of the proposed Project will be minimal due to the low volume of traffic generated. The Project does not meet the minimum criteria of 50 peak hour trips specified in Section 25-2-46 Concurrency Requirements of the Hawaii County Code regarding the preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report. The Project is anticipated to generate 17 or less total trips and therefore, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report is not required. 3 ATA AUSTIN.TSUTSUMI 6 ASSOCIATES.INC.

COMMENTS The rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR), are in effect when development falls within a Special Flood Hazard Area(high risk areas). State projects are required to comply with 44CFR regulations as stipulated in Section 60.12. Be advised that 44CFR reflects the minimum standards as set forth by the NFIP. Local community flood ordinances may stipulate higher standards that can be more restrictive and would take precedence over the minimum NFIP standards. The owner of the project property and/or their representative is responsible to research the Flood Hazard Zone designation for the project. Flood Hazard Zones are designated on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), which can be viewed on our Flood Hazard Assessment Tool (FHAT) (httpJ/gis.hawaiinfip.org/FHAT). If there are questions regarding the local flood ordinances, please contact the applicable County NFIP coordinating agency below: o Oahu: City and County of Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting 808) 768-8098. o Hawaii Island: County of Hawaii, Department of Public Works(808)961-8327. o Maui/Molokai/Lanai County of Maui,Department of Planning(808) 270-7253. o Kauai: County of Kauai, Department of Public Works (808) 241-4896.

The State Department of Health,County Police Department,and County Department of Environmental Management had no comments or objections to the request. 2. With the exception of the Engineering Division of the State Department of Land and Natural Resources noting the need,if applicable,to comply with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program,none of the other Divisions offered any comments or objections to the request. In that regard, the site is situated within Zone"X",areas outside of any floodway,and thus the referenced provision is not applicable. 3.

Please be informed that the applicant intends to maintain the commitments by making a timely payment of the required deposit. 4.
