The LPC specifically had questions about the level of consultation with lineal descendants in planning the overall construction of the project; whether lineal descendant access issues had been fully considered by the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and resolved in the Burial Treatment Plan; and whether additional lineal descendant access and open space requirements should be proposed to mitigate or minimize project impacts on the overall cultural landscape. The applicant, Hawaii Onel Investors, LLC, proposes to develop a 65-lot, single-family residential subdivision and related improvements on the subject property. In order to facilitate this proposed development, they are requesting the following amendments to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 09 8, which rezoned the 11.05-acre subject property from an Agricultural 5-acres (A-5a) to a Single-Family Residential-7,500 square feet (RS-7.5) zoned district: ■ A five (5)-year time extension to Condition E (Time to Secure Final Subdivision Approval); and www.planning.hawaiicounty.gov Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer planning(d),hawaiicounty.aov Ms. Geraldine Bell, Chair County of Hawaii Cultural Resources Commission c/o Kamuela Plunkett May 10, 2022 Page 2 ■ An amendment Condition K (Drainage Improvements) to allow for the option of bonding the drainage improvements or the use of other acceptable forms of surety in lieu of the construction of drainage improvements, prior to the issuance of Final Subdivision Approval. In addition, the applicant is requesting a similar five (5)-year time extension to Condition 4 (Time to Secure Final Subdivision Approval) of SMA Use Permit No. 07-024, which was approved to allow the development of a 65-lot, single-family residential subdivision and related improvements on the subject property. Based on the preceding and pursuant to Rule 4-3(b) — Commission Review of Proposed Projects within the County of Hawaii of the CRC Rules of Practice and Procedure, we are requesting a consultation with the CRC. To assist the CRC in their review, we are including a link to a folder containing the application for amendments, and archaeological studies and approvals (e.g., Archaeological Inventory Survey, Archaeological Data Recovery Plan, Burial Treatment Plan, and SHPD approval/acceptance letters). In addition, for context, we will include the Background and Director's Recommendation Reports that were provided to the LPC.
