Aloha, Mr. Clark. I am working on behalf of the County of Hawaii to help them conduct an environmental assessment for a proposed housing project located in Punahoa 2, between Waidnuenue Street and `Ainako Street. The project area is roughly 40 acres located on Tax Map Key (3) 2-3-030:004 with a road corridor connecting to Waidnuenue Street across TMKs (3) 2-3-030:001 and (3) 2-3- 031:001. The `Ainako Subdivision Housing Project is designed to fill the housing need of the "work- force" population. The Project would consist of infrastructure development of single-family and multi-family housing. Phase 1 would include construction of up to 82 townhomes and 28 flats (110 residential units), and Phase 2 would include up to 34 single-family units. The total number of units would be up to 144 at final build-out. To help the County determine cultural impacts and significance of archaeological sites in the project area, I am seeking consultation with community members who have long-standing cultural connections to this area,might have knowledge of traditional cultural use of the proposed project area, or who are involved in ongoing cultural practices that occur on or in the general vicinity of the project area. An archeological survey has been completed and I can share the preliminary results with you if you would like to discuss the cultural and historical signifiance of them. An informed consent form is attached if you would like to be interviewed. This consultation is required under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 343 and Chapter 6E-8.
