Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission
2012 Annual Report to the Mayor
December 28, 2012
Introduction
Pursuant to Section 2-217 of the Hawai‘i County Code, 1983, 2005 Edition (see Appendix
1), the Hawai‘i County Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation
Commission is submitting this 2012 Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor (see Appendix
2 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties).
The Commission is advisory to the Mayor and is responsible for annually developing and
submitting a prioritized list of lands to be considered for acquisition. For discussion of acquisitions
completed in 2012 please refer to Appendix 3, Summary of 2012 Acquisitions. The Commission
has also compiled a report on the status of all properties on past prioritized lists which provides
detailed information for each property (see Appendix 4) and a report that provides funding sources
used for acquisition (see Appendix 5).
In addition, the Commission refined the assessment form with criteria to receive and
prioritize suggestions from the community for lands worthy of preservation and/or public access.
All submittals from the inception of the Commission have been put into the Comprehensive List
(see Appendix 6). This list attests to the informed participation of community groups and
individual citizens interested in the preservation of our island’s resources.

(*Parcel 22 was ranked separately from Parcel 4 because we felt that Parcel 4 and other
shoreline parcels around the island more strongly met the criteria compared to Parcel 22)
In developing the 2012 Prioritized List for this Annual Report, the Commission considered
properties submitted in the 2012 Suggestion Forms as well as written and public testimony related
to those submissions. The Commission decided to split ‘O‘oma II into two priorities. Due to the
fact that parcel 4 is zoned conservation and parcel 22 is zoned industrial. The Commission
developed its prioritized ranking order based upon reported urgency, anticipated use, significance
and benefit to the public and special opportunities available for acquisition and management. See
Appendix 2 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties.
Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions
Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from
2006-2011 (see Appendix 4). The Commission recommends that properties from previous
prioritized lists should continue to be pursued as far as possible unless: the County has already
acquired the property; there are insufficient funds available for acquisition; or the County Council
has not passed a resolution that would allow the property to be acquired.
In addition it may be of interest to note that Kaiholena (Lot F), which was prioritized by the
PONC in 2007 and 2009 and resoluted for purchase by the County Council in 2008 was purchased
without County funds through an effort led by the Kohala community in partnership with a
community based non-profit. The community noted that even though PONC funds were not used,
having the parcel ranked and resoluted assisted with securing other funding.
The Commission is including an Acquisition Status Report that provides funding sources
used for acquisition (see Appendix 5).

Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public
The Comprehensive List (see Appendix 6) is a sequential listing by tax map key of all
properties submitted by the public since 2006.
Commission Meetings
Commission meetings held in 2012 were:
January 9 Kona July 9 Hilo
March 12 Hilo September 10 Kona
May 14 Kona (cancelled; no quorum) November 26 Hilo
At each of these meetings the Commission welcomed testimony from the public. Interest in
the Commissions’ work is evident through increased attendance and testimony by members of the
public, landowners and other interested parties. In addition to these meetings, commissioners
presented information on the program and the application process at various community meetings.
Suggestion Form
The Suggestion Form [revised March 12, 2012] (see Appendix 7) is available to the public
by request through the County Finance Department or on-line at the web-site below:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/weblink/Browse.aspx?dbid=1&startid=13770
The Commission considered properties identified on these forms that were submitted by the
public when creating the 2012 Prioritized List. A total of fifteen Suggestion Forms were received
from the public between June 1, 2011 and June 29, 2012 (see Appendix 8). Two were not assessed.
One had insufficient and incomplete information and one was incomplete and received after the
dead-line. One of the submissions was separated into two priority listings.
Assessment Criteria Form
The Commission updated the Assessment Criteria Form [revised March 12, 2012] (see
Appendix 9). This Assessment Criteria Form was utilized to assess the suggestion forms received
during the aforementioned time period.
Commission and Community Recommendations and Concerns
The following is a listing of recommendations and concerns identified by the Commission:
The Commission and the public have expressed concerns that long-term management and
maintenance should be addressed. The Commission recommends that a formal funding
process be established to support management plans and long-term property maintenance to
include community and government participation.
The commissioners will continue to seek education and training in all aspects of land
acquisition to better accomplish the Commissions goals.
Page 4
Commission and Community
Recommendations and Concerns (continued)
The Commission encourages the public to re-nominate properties that do not have a current
County resolution or have not been purchased.
The commissioners encourage the County to fill vacancies in a timely manner.
Next Steps
Continue to schedule six Commission meetings alternating between Kona and Hilo in 2013.
Consider scheduling 2013 regional public meetings.
Publicize meeting schedule and encourage the public to submit or re-submit suggestion
forms and participate in the process.
Continue to encourage potential partnerships with other governmental agencies, non-profit
organizations, and private entities for land/entitlement acquisitions.
Identify partnerships with non-profit organizations, community groups, and volunteer
organizations to provide management for acquired properties.
Expand commissioners’ understanding of easements, land trusts and partnerships.
Submit Annual Report and Prioritized List to the Mayor by December 31, 2013.

Priorities shall be listed on an island-wide rather than district basis. The list shall include the
significance of each parcel or entitlement identified, the reason for its priority, and its anticipated
use after acquisition;
(2) To update this list at any time, but at least annually by December 31 of each year; and
(3) To explore methods of funding land acquisition and make recommendations to the mayor.
(4) The commission shall give emphasis to land acquisitions where the County’s contribution can be
leveraged to obtain State, Federal, and/or private funds.
(2005, Ord. No. 05-166, sec. 4.)2-217
Section 2-218. Prioritized list of qualifying lands worthy of preservation.
(a) The prioritized list developed by the commission shall be submitted to the mayor for comments and
recommendation. Within sixty days after receipt, the mayor will submit the list to the council with
comments and recommendations. The council shall, by resolution, select the land or lands to be
preserved. Under no circumstances shall the purchase price paid for a property exceed the appraised

under consideration at any one time, priority shall be given to coastal lands and lands where matching
funding is available to leverage the County contribution.
(b) Negotiations for acquisition of lands to be preserved shall occur between the County and the seller or its
commissioned agent, or a licensed broker only. The commission shall have no role in the negotiations
other than in its advisory capacity.
(c) Appraisals, title reports, surveying and other costs incidental to the acquisition of land shall be permitted
uses of this fund.
(d) Adequate staff to carry out the provisions of this article and to manage the land acquired shall be
provided in the department of finance to maximize the use of available funds by minimizing the payment
of commission to outside agents to put together funding plans and to ensure that the County is a good
steward of any land that comes under its control through this article.

COUNTY OF HAWAI‘I
PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND
NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION COMMISSION (PONC)
SUMMARY OF 2012 ACQUISITIONS
Kingman Trust Properties, North Kona District
On February 23, 2012, the County of Hawai‘i completed its sixth
purchase utilizing funds from the Public Access, Open Space and
Natural Resources Preservation Fund (FUND) for two parcels (Tax
Map Keys: (3) 7-7-08:20 & 31) totaling 6.0117 acres. A third
adjacent parcel, TMK: (3) 7-7-08:100 totaling .1722 acre was also
purchased by the County with another funding source as all three
parcels combined will become the new Kīpapa Park.
These properties are located directly mauka of Ali‘i Drive, Magic
Sands Beach Park (aka White Sands or Disappearing Sands Park),
La‘aloa Bay Beach Park and Pāhoehoe Beach Park and will
provide much needed off street parking which will open up the
coastal view plane and provide increased road and pedestrian safety in the area. Development of
amenities such as bathroom facilities, a pavilion and a comfort station with outdoor shower(s) for
beach goers at the nearby County parks is also part of the overall plan for Kīpapa Park.
Since a portion of the Great Wall of Kuakini and five previously
known burial sites belonging to the Kīpapa family have been
identified, a revised Burial Treatment Plan is pending before the
Hawai‘i Island Burial Council. These sites will be preserved in
place and buffered before any development can occur.
With this acquisition, the County now owns a total of 955.2047
acres of land purchased with the FUND and received a total of
$4,166,750.00 in grant monies by leveraging funds with State and
Federal sources.
To ensure proper long term management and responsible
stewardship of these lands, the County will work with members of
the public, community groups and/or government agencies so that these lands are kept in open
space and preserved in perpetuity for generations to come.
