COUNTY OF KAUAI PUBLIC ACCESS, OPEN SPACE, & NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION FUND COMMISSION Lihue Civic Center, Pi'ikoi Building, Conference Room B MINUTES A regular meeting of the County of Kauai Public Access, Open Space & Natural Resources Preservation Fund Commission of the County of Kaua'i was held on June 24, 2010, in the Lihue Civic Center, Pi'ikoi Building Conference Room B.

CALL TO ORDER Chair Souza called the meeting to order at 1:15 p.m. She introduced interns Lauren Esaki, Beth Wiley, and Richard Brockmeyer who were observing the meeting. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chair Souza stated that the Planning Department requested that the Commission take new business item A, update by the Planning Department on the Koloa- Po'ipu development plan first. There were no objections by the Commission. MOTION: It was moved by Johanna Ventura and seconded by Beryl Blaich to approve the agenda as amended. All were in favor bE unanimous voice vote— motion passed. 1 NEW BUSINESS Update by Planning Department on Koloa-Po'ipu Development Plan. Long Range Planner Marie Williams presented a PowerPoint update on the Koloa-Po'ipu development plan. She said they are hoping that it will be a condensed project to be completed within a year. She said they are compiling a Mayor-appointed Citizens Advisory Group and they anticipate the first meeting in August followed by the public kickoff, workshops, and monthly meetings commencing in the Fall. She said the purpose of the plan would be to update the existing plan, implement the General Plan update 2000, and address new issues related to growth and development. She said the goals of and recommendations for open space and public access issues during the last update in 1980 were to develop a plan for public access to coastal and mauka areas where private properties block such access, acquire coastal areas for public use, encourage development of mauka lands to provide alternate access to Spouting Horn Park, and acquire oceanfront properties makai of Lawa`i Beach Road. She said open space and public access issues related to the 200 General plan were Mahaulepu, East-West highway transportation, wastewater disposal, Koloa- Po'ipu commercial development, proposed residential development, traffic circulation in Kalaheo, and pedestrian/bicycle paths. She said they will be reviewing those issues as well as gathering new public input. Commissioner Ventura questioned if the County is soliciting volunteers for the Citizens Advisory Committee. Ms. Williams stated that the consultant requested limiting the CAC to 12 people. She said that because there will be a very intense public process, they wanted the CAC to consist of the different stakeholder groups such as Malama Mahaulepu, the Koloa Community Association, and the Po'ipu Beach Resort Association. Commissioner Ventura questioned if the CAC will continue to convene throughout the public input process. Ms. Williams stated that the CAC will be put together for the duration of the planning process and dispensed once the plan is adopted. Commissioner Ventura questioned what some of the possible outcomes would be and if lands could be re-zoned during the process. Ms. Williams stated that generally it is supposed to refine the General Plan. She said it can amend the General Plan, identify specific projects, and can re-zone. Commissioner Kinnaman questioned if the plan would have to be approved by the Council. 2 Ms. Williams stated that all development plans are adopted by Ordinance into the zoning Ordinance. She said it is a two tier process involving the Planning Commission then the County Council for final approval. Commissioner Kinnaman questioned if the present development plan would be used as a guideline for the new plan. Ms. Williams stated that it is different from a modern development plan in that it doesn't provide much direction, but they are doing their best to ensure the current plan is looked at thoroughly. Chair Souza noted that there seems to be a lot of vacant developable land but the population increase doesn't seem to be that much. Ms. Williams stated that the projection was based on what has happened historically and not necessarily looking at a build out. She stated that they will also be looking at a build out analysis. She stated that compared with Kapa`a, the Koloa district is growing at a moderate rate. Chair Souza stated that the Commission goes through an annual process to identify sites to recommend to the Council for acquisition or entitlement using the Open Space fund. She said they have become familiar with the resources and what some of the needs are. She said there have been some issues that have come up consistently in this area. Commissioner Ventura stated that she was surprised to hear that the area has experienced modest growth. She stated that she has heard that the Po'ipu area is in a development explosion and that it is probably not a best measure to use residential population because at one point there was seven developments at once and there were rumors of social justice issues. She stated that if they are going to measure growth for a resort district, she would like to see something that represents more than just residential growth. Ms. Williams stated that she is currently working on a profile now, and just finished the demographics which only looks at resident population, but she agreed that the Po`ipu area probably has the most housing units. Chair Souza requested that subsequent presentations include not only resident population but also visitor population and growth. Chair Souza stated that aside from Mahaulepu, most of the coastal area has been developed. She stated there is a lot of pressure related to public access and natural resources. She said it seems that even if there are current access ways, they are not adequately policed where hotel employees are parking in public access areas and there is no other place to park. She said as more development comes online for residential or resort, there will be added stress and some of those areas would need to be expanded. She said that even though the fund has been inadequate to purchase Mahaulepu, it has always 3 been a high priority for natural resource and cultural preservation. She stated that they have also been interested in the area mauka of the highway in Kalaheo on A&B and State lands. She said the Alexander Dam area has been a long time hunting area and the DLNR manages some of the area. She said the DLNR prefers one or two.ways for hunters, but the Commission also views the whole area as a forest recreational and trail area. She said with the tendency of Agricultural developments to be gated communities rather than true Ag development, they don't want hunters or locals traversing the area for access to the mountain. She said the mauka area is something that the Commission has been looking at. She noted that some of these larger issues are pushed to the side in favor of smaller doable projects, but she hopes that the task group working on the long range plan can address some of the larger issues. She said there are problematic public access areas at Sheraton and Kiahuna, where there is also inadequate parking. She said another priority site would be the former Hoban property where there is currently a County owned drainage easement from the road to the shoreline and the Commission has been trying to acquire that easement for public access. She said the property has been fenced, but used to be accessible to the public. Commissioner Blaich stated that the Commission also feels that the Nukumoi parcel is a wonderful access and educational experience for the Kaneiolouma Heiau. She said that one of the largest issues in Koloa is recognition that it was archaeologically rich and how disrupted it's been. She stated that one of the principles of development there is how you develop sensitively to what's left. She said the Commission talks about preservation of important views because sometimes it's not what you can acquire but finding a way not to degrade the area. Regarding the 1980 recommendation of acquiring oceanfront properties mauki of Lawa`i Beach Road, she said that the goal was set prior to the two hurricanes when all of the homes were obliterated but they got built back. She stated that the plan should consider alternatives should it happen again. Chair Souza stated that areas like the Sheraton were damaged in the hurricanes and allowed to be rebuilt bigger. She questioned why we can't look at the Hilo model where the core commercial district was damaged, then kept as open space and rebuilt behind the buffer. She suggested that if areas are damaged they should consider whether they should be allowed to rebuild. Ms. Williams summarized that there will be a functioning website that will have an in-depth community profile and will go much into the growth and what is happening. She invited the Commissioners to attend the focus workshops and perhaps do a presentation to the CAC on the issues they have expressed. Commissioner Ventura stated that Appendix D of the Commission's most recent report includes recommendations on various recommendations in the Koloa area. Chair Souza stated that more coastal parks are important. She said if they want to see some of the undeveloped coastline preserved, there needs to be 4 developed beach park areas elsewhere, otherwise the pressure will move there. She suggested an aggressive look at coastal areas for recreation and access needs to be done otherwise they will lose even more than they already have. Commissioner Blaich stated that another section of land that is important is the coast between Lawa`i Kai and Port Allen. Chair Souza thanked Ms. Williams for the presentation. Ms. Williams thanked the Commission for inviting her and requested that if the Commission has any further comments they can contact her or Ms. Sadora.

Ms. Sadora stated that the Commission's proposed amendments to the Ordinance has been updated and forwarded to the Administration, Council and the County Attorney's office. She said that Deputy Planning Director Imai Aiu has been communicating with the Administration to try to arrange a meeting. Chair Souza clarified that proposed additions to the Ordinance are underlined and deletions are in brackets. Ms. Sadora noted that the current version of the Ordinance is still a draft version. She stated that changes were made and were never finalized. She said that since changes are being proposed again, the County Attorney's office is reviewing them and will bring them to final form. Chair Souza requested that the meetings with the Council and the Administration occur sooner rather than later. Commissioner Blaich questioned if the proposed amendments would need to be approved by the Planning Commission. Deputy County Attorney Dahilig stated that it would not need to go to the Planning Commission. Regarding the furlough schedule, Ms. Sadora pointed out that there is a meeting scheduled on November 4tt', but the agenda for that meeting would have to be posted on the same day as the October 28th meeting.

She said that they discussed a potential classification system for the County parks and the time frame for the community process is 2011. She said the CAC is still organizing and will meet about once every 3 months. She stated that if the Commission would like her to do a presentation, she suggested placing it on a future agenda for discussion. Ms. Sadora distributed copies of an article in the Garden Island Newspaper regarding the Larson's Beach access. She announced that the article was concerning an easement offered by the land owner. She said the County Council deferred action and the Planning Committee is awaiting a report from the BLNR. She said the Council will revisit the issue on August 25. Chair Souza requested a copy of the BLNR report when it is available. Commissioner Blaich announced that it was mentioned in an article and at the Kilauea Community Association meeting that Don Wilson said he offered an easement to the County before and it had been turned down. She requested that staff try to determine which easement was offered, when, and why it was turned down. Commissioner Blaich also announced that there was an article in the news referencing parcels being chosen on Oahu that their Open Space Commission was not happy with, and the fate of their commission was uncertain. Chair Souza announced that there was an email regarding the County of Hawaii's Charter Commission taking action to not place on the ballot a proposal for a 2% dedication to the Open Space Fund. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Update and discussion of the 2010 public input process pursuant to Ordinance No. 812 for developing an annual list of priority projects to be reported (2010 Report) to the Kauai County Council and the Mayor. 2 Ms. Sadora stated that the press release was printed in Saturday's Garden Island Newspaper. Chair Souza stated that the placement of the survey in Wednesday's Garden Island Newspaper was excellent, and she asked the staff to thank the Garden Island staff. Staff announced that paper surveys were distributed to the all neighborhood centers and public libraries and they are also available at the Planning Department counter. Ms. Sadora announced that she and Commissioner Blaich attended the Kilauea Community Association meeting. She said that the association was very receptive to participating in the survey. Commissioner Blaich stated that they reviewed the major recommendations and accomplishments from last year. Ms. Sadora stated that they also displayed the reports from the past years and they encouraged the public to take the survey online. Commissioner Blaich stated that she will be attending the K61oa Community Association meeting on July 15th for another presentation at 6:30 p.m., so she will assist Commissioner Kinnaman and Ms. Sadora with the survey distribution. Commissioner Ventura stated that the Ha'ena-Hanalei Community Association does not meet again until the week preceding the survey deadline, but their President was in favor of the Commission forwarding a condensed press release with a link to the survey to him and he would be happy to send that out to all of their members and supporters by email. Chair Souza stated that she will attend the Wailua Community Association meeting on Saturday July 24th from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Kapa'a Library, The Commission received public testimony from Elsie Godbey. Ms. Godbey stated that she saw the Commission's presentation to the Council and heard that Salt Pond Park expansion was the second recommendation on the list. She stated that the Salt Pond area is on Government land and seems to fit all of the criteria for acquisition using the fund. She questioned if it could be acquired via executive order, like with the Airport and the drug rehab center. She noted that it is a historical area that deserves to be preserved. Chair Souza stated that the Commission agreed with Ms. Godbey. She informed Ms. Godbey that the Commission has requested staff initiate conversation with the DLNR to begin implementing research on it. She stated that they need to start new conversations to receive updates and possibilities. She recommended that Ms. Godbey submit a survey and reference the Puolu Point area. She said 3 the Commission listed it as a high priority in the past because it is needed and it would not require an excessive amount of money. Ms. Godbey stated that it was announced at the Council meeting that they intend to move the fire rescue station to Uhu'e. She felt that would be a good time to acquire the property. She stated that Hanapepe does not really have an open space area aside from the existing Beach Park. Commissioner Ventura suggested that Ms. Godbey take additional surveys for others in the West side area. The Commission thanked Ms. Godbey for her testimony. Ms. Sadora stated that she received a phone call from a concerned citizen regarding the motor cross path, across the Omao area that is used by 500 plus riders. She said they were questioning how they could best advocate for continued use of this trail. She said there is a zip line being proposed for the area. She said they have over 2,000 people that would speak to preserving the motor cross and questioned if they should complete 2,000 surveys or if they should submit one survey with a petition of 2,000 signatures. She stated that there is a substantial annual run, and this is one of the last areas that bikers have been able to use since 1995. Commissioner Ventura questioned the ownership of the land. Ms. Sadora stated that the person applying for the zip line is Knudsen, but she hasn't been able to research the exact area and land owners yet. Chair Souza stated that there was an article in the newspaper advertising the Hare and Hound race. Commissioner Kinnaman stated that there is a trail that the bikers follow and that annual event is very well attended. She stated that the land across from the church in Omao is A&B property and the land going up to Kahili Mountain is owned by Knudsen. Commissioner Blaich stated that the more surveys that are submitted the better, but that he could also submit a petition. She stated that other places may come to mind when individuals take the survey. Commissioner Kinnaman questioned if the motor cross users received permission to blaze the trails since the person was not aware of who owned the land. She suggested keeping use of the area to a minimum to help minimize erosion. Chair Souza agreed that 2,000 surveys would be better than a petition for data collection purposes. 4 Commissioner Ventura noted that the Commission's recommendations would be put forth to the Council by the end of the year and the Council would take up decisions in the Spring of 2011 and would have to weigh this site against other recommendations. She suggested that the caller be notified that it would not be an immediate solution and that he may want to rally support and engage the land owners directly for a more immediate line of communication. Ms. Sadora stated that she informed the caller about the annual survey and how selections are made. She stated that they were also looking for other avenues to express their concern. Commissioner Kinnaman stated that the purpose would be for outdoor recreation similar to hunting. Chair Souza stated that there was a very good article in the newspaper regarding the last Hare and Hound race. Commissioner Kinnaman stated that she would suggest a petition and attaching it to one survey since they are all going to contain the same information anyway. Ms. Sadora stated that she will leave it to the caller's discretion and will notify him that recommendations are not necessarily quantitatively based. Commissioner Ventura stated that she was in a dilemma because although this activity qualifies for the first criteria, she was concerned that it may be potentially detrimental to other criteria such as erosion. Chair Souza noted that the Hare and Hound event would be taking place on July 25th if any of the Commissioners wanted to attend. Status on filling of vacant Commissioner positions. Ms. Sadora stated that the interview process for the Council appointee is still ongoing and that there were no updates from the Administration. She stated that they announced the Commission vacancies at the Kilauea Community meeting and encouraged interested candidates to contact the Council members or the Administration. Commissioner Punzal agreed that people in the neighborhood boards are the right people to ask since they are very community minded. Update and discussion of the 2010 public input process pursuant to Ordinance 812 for developing an annual list of priority projects to be reported (2010 Report) to the Kauai County Council and the Mayor. 5 Ms. Sadora stated that Sue Kanoho from the Kaua'i Visitors Bureau will be available to speak to the Commission at the July 22"d meeting. She said that she has another meeting scheduled for that day and she is requested limiting her presentation to one hour. Commissioner Blaich stated that the Commission was hoping that Ms. Kanoho could speak to the Commission on how the Visitors Bureau views the impacts of the visitors guide books and any options they have considered to deal with them. She was also interested in hearing her views on liability issues for State, County, and private property. Commissioner Ventura stated that she was sitting in on a conversation with Ms. Kanoho when she explained that the occupancy rates reported on the news are only tied into the major hotels and do not necessarily represent true occupancy. She felt it would be interesting to have Ms. Kanoho speak on what the occupancy really is. She said that occupancy rates may be higher where a large number of homes serve as vacation rentals. Commissioner Blaich stated that she would be interested to know if Ms. Kanoho is aware of any funding opportunities for acquisition that the Commission should be aware of. Chair Souza asked staff if the Forestry and Wildlife division of the DLNR would be making available for Commission education. Ms. Sadora stated that she is still trying to determine the appropriate person to speak to the Commission_ Regarding the meetings with Council members and the Mayor, Ms. Sadora stated that Deputy Planning Director Aiu has been communicating weekly with the Administration but there is no confirmation on dates. Chair Souza noted that the Commission may want to consider proposing an amendment to Ordinance 812 to omit the word "disabled" from purposes of the fund. She said that they omitted it from the press release, but they may want to propose removing it from the Ordinance since anything that the County acquires would need to be in compliance with ADA requirements. Commissioner Ventura clarified that the word "disabled" would not be necessary to specify because County policies would comply with ADA requirements. Chair Souza noted there was also a difference of interpretations. She stated that the Planning Director's interpretation of disabled access was "not affectuated" access or "blocked" access. Commissioner Blaich stated that there may have been a specific intent and the issue might be the language. 6 Ms. Sadora stated that the County Attorneys Office was looking into clarification of the intent. Chair Souza noted that the word "disabled" was omitted from the press release and she suggested that it be brought to the attention of the Council members and the Administration during the Commission's meetings with them.
