The nominating party indicated that they have reached out multiple times for clarification and did not receive a response. Mary Kodama noted that she also contacted the Mayor’s office for clarification, but was told that the letter was based on the information they received. Discussion regarding the CLG [Certified Local Government] notification process, and CLG’s obligation to review nominations Page 3 within their jurisdiction. It was noted that this nomination did not go before the Hawaiʻi County CRC (Cultural Resources Commission), and the board considered whether the nomination would need to be deferred pending CRC review. Jessica Puff noted that the CLGs are recognized as components of the Federal historic preservation program and that nominations should be reviewed by them to provide comments on context, significance, and accuracy. This ensures that properties are listed accurately and do not require later amendments.. Ms. Puff also noted that while the Board can make whatever decision for the Hawaii Register, SHPD will request CLG review beforehand and will work with the applicant to make any necessary amendments prior to submission to the Keeper [National Park Service]. Chair Belluzzo noted that the board typically evaluates nominations based on National Register eligibility criteria, but they also consider environmental impact and whether the preservation serves the quality of the state. He commended the applicant for the adaptive reuse of the building associated with an industry that exploited and took so much from Hawaiʻi, and repurposing it into something that gives back and restores. William and Mary Alexander Parsonage 2307 Main Street Wailuku, HI 96793 TMK: (2) 3-4-014:005 (POR.)

Second: William Chapman Criterion: A, B & C Level of Significance: Statewide Vote: 5-0; All in favor (Belluzzo, Chapman, Hart, Truluck) (Watson voted yes with reservations), motion carries. Page 4 Comments: As this nomination did not go before the Maui CRC for review, the Board discussed whether to defer the nomination pending Maui CRC review. Mary Kodama clarified that under the HHPRB Administrative Rules (HAR §13-198), there is no requirement for CLG notification, only for notification of the owner and nominator. CLG notification, however, is required under the National Register Guidelines (36 CFR Part 60). The Board requested that, moving forward, nominators be asked to reach out to the CLGs to have their nominations agendized before presenting to the review board. The Board also requested that SHPD update its procedures and website to ensure nominators are aware of this requirement. Mary Kodama requested that the requirement for nominations to be agendized before the Honolulu CLG be deferred until their rules are established. Trish Watson agreed and noted that the Honolulu CLG currently holds informational hearings only, so such review is not required at this time, but once formal rules are promulgated, they will be required to go before the CLG. Trish Watson noted that the CLGs are run by great people and expressed support for strengthening the CLG program and encouraged more cooperation between the Board and the CLGs.
