OCT 0 7 2010 September 2, 2010 K.H.P,R.C, Meeting Minutes Page 2 COMMUNICATIONS Re: Letter (712912010) from Nadine K. Nakamura, Principal, NKN Project Planning requesting comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment prepared pursuant to the EIS law (Ch. 343 , HRS and 11-200, HAR) for the Kapaa High School Softball Stadium = Department of Education, Kauai School Disti ict, DOE Job Number. Q4.100147. Chair: Communications letter from Nadine Nakamura in regards to the Kapaa Softball Stadium. Do we have Mrs . Nakamura or is Kapaa High. School Here? Alright please come forward. Ms. Nadine Nakamura: Hi I am Nadine Nakamura and I am the consultant working on the environmental assessment for this project. You were sent a copy of the draft environmental assessment so basically the DOE is providing the facilities for girls softball teams and Kapaa High School is one of the teams that does not have the facilities and so this is a Title IX related project to provide similar standard level of facility that boys have. And so it' s a project that has been in the works for a while and (inaudible) and this facility is going to, they are calling it a softball stadium only because they would like it to be used as a site for a higher level of use so they can have State tournaments on this site. Basically there is going to be bleachers and fields . There are going to have refreshment facilities you know everything to support softball . And as a. courtesy we wanted to let you all know that this project is coming up and the facility is going to be between the track field and then the locker rooms. Chair: Ok if we can we will stick to the historical perspective of this particular property. Commissioners are there any questions? Mr. Helder: I don't see it right now your environmental assessment that there were a few buildings in this area that were on the historic register. Ms . Nakamura: Yes if you take a look on page C of the report the overall high school and elementary school is one parcel and contains four structures listed on the State Register of Historic Places. These are mainly classroom buildings on the elementary school and or high school side and the auditorium building 1920s to early 40s . Mr. Helder: What is the proximity of this project? Ms . Nakamura: They are not close to the site which is the elementary school . Chair: This will not affect their standing in regards to the historic register. I don't think this will affect that. Ms . Nakamura; Yes we haven't received all of the comments yet from all of the different agencies but we don' t expect it to only because it' s, part of it is that I think the admin building at the Kapaa Elementary that office building area. I think those are the historic section of the campus. September 2, 2010 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 3 Ms . Aiu: I think you got flagged cause those were there. Chair: Yes there wasn' t a plot plan but I was aware of the Kapaa High School layout. I looked for a plot plan right away but it wasn't there. Ok Commissioners . Ms. Summers : I have one my question is how close is it to the cemetery that is down by the ocean. I am not that familiar with size of the lot. Ms Nakamura: Yes there is a pretty big elevation change. Chair: The cemetery is actually, the have it drawn out (inaudible) . Yes on the hill. I looked at that, the cemetery too . Ms . Aiu: The closest would be the baseball field, that existing field. Ms. Nakamura: Yes you know the track field that' s the closest and then there is a few tennis courts that is also right above it. Chair: Is there, some of the activities will be actually overlooking the cemetery? You are inside of that. Ms. Nakamura: Yes way inside. There is a whole track and field. Chair: My understanding of this particular property is that it was pastures for a long, long time and then gradually Kauai High School has incorporated these particular pastures and then incorporated into their campus . In regards to heiau I am not quite aware of having one on top of there at one point but probably further over where Mahelona is or further down. It seems because the location of this hill that it was prime right. The view planes from there are awesome. I think over all the years of Kapaa High School I am not aware of anything that has come up and I have seen that you have had public meetings. Ms. Nakamura: We actually notified the surrounding residents and the PTSA and we didn't get a good turn out at that particular meeting but we did give people an opportunity to come. Chair: Ian in regards as this is communications? Staff: We would just pass on any comments or recommendations and then as usual we just pick whatever you have made comments on, we will just transmit them. Mr. Helder: In this case there is nothing to transmit. This is fairly straight forward. Chair: Commissioners are you ok with it all? Thank you very much. Staff. I am sorry Chair but perhaps just a motion to accept. Mr. Helder: I move that we accept this communication and pass it on without recommendations . September 2, 2010 K,HT.K.C. Meeting Mimites Page 4 Ms. Summers : Second. Chair: It' s been moved and seconded. Anybody in the audience wishes to address the Kapaa High School'? No one any further discussions? (None.) All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) Opposed? Hearing none thank you. Re: Letter (8/23/2010) from Earl Matsukawa, AICP, Project Manager, Wilson Okamoto Corporation requesting 1) review and comments by the Commission on the enclosed Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared pursuant to Chapter 343 , Hawaii Revised Statutes for the Northern Leg of the Western Bypass Road located in Koloa, Kauai Hawaii and 2) consultation with the Commission pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act = County of X(auai, Department of Public Works. Chair: Ok communication B .2 . Letter from Matuskawa, Project Manager, Wilson Okamoto , this is in regards to the northern leg of the western bypass road, Koloa. Mr. Earl Matsukawa: Thank you Chair and Kauai Historic Preservation review Commission. My name is Earl Matsukawa with Wilson Okamoto Corporation. We are the consultants to the Department of Public Works who is proposing this roadway project. This is an abbreviated presentation that we did at our public information meeting which is the second public meeting that we put out. We just kinda shortened it a bit. Ok this is the northern leg of the western bypass road. This is the western bypass road also known Ala Kalanikaumaka. The proposed project starts where the current western bypass road ends at Koloa Road and then it would connect across the eastern bypass which is Ala Kinoiki and Maluhia Road so it' s this section here the western Ala Kalanikaumaka and Ala Kinoiki are the major mauka/makai road serving that entire region. What it does it will just make it complete through here and by doing so there is more connectivity, the roads are connected there are more ways for traffic to flow. These are alternate routes that can be taken so it will kind of ease some of the circulation patterns and congestion that may occur because we have another whole connecting route for this eastern and western bypass. It will be a two lane road which will be same as all of these bypass roads, two lanes, one in each direction. The right of way is wide enough so that if in the future it needs to be widened it can be widened to a four lane road, two in each direction. But initially it will be built as a two lane road. Some features let' s get oriented. Here is Maluhia Road. This is the Ala Kinoiki. This is the western bypass, Ala Kalanikaumaka, it' s this section that will go over Omao Stream. There is a five hundred twenty foot bridge section here to traverse Omao Stream. The bridge itself is sixty feet wide and that would allow some time in the future again if this road goes to four lanes. It will be stripped for two lane but it can be widened and striped for four lane without anymore new construction. September 2, 2010 R.H.P.R.C. ivleeting Minutes Page 5 There will also be the realignment of Omao Road which currently intersects Koloa Road but because of the distance from the intersection and movement of the way traffic flows the DPW is proposing to realign it so that actually coluiects with the northern leg. All the movements will be the same it' s just that it will connect here. There will also be all these other improvements along this section on Koloa Road and Maluhia Road so that there will be like turning lanes and the traffic will flow better. Because this is a County project we have to go through the Environmental Assessment, Chapter 343 which is a State law. We have completed preassesment consultation and prepared the draft EIS that was published on August 8"'. There is a thirty day comment period that ends September 7th and hopefully after all of the comments comes in we can final EA around November. Because this is also anticipated to get Federal funding we have to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act which is basically Federal Highway Administration Environmental Assessment and that process requires consultation for 106 and that is one of the reasons we are here today. We also have to as official law under section 7 of the endangered species act. Actually we were going to do a joint document but I guess fairly recently FHWA had some issues with EAs that are joint and so their policies are changing and after talking with the FHWA people there might be something that weren't consistent. It would be hard to do a joint because they want certain things. So we are actually going to separate and do a separate NEPA EA which we will file with the FHWA and this also includes the 106 consultation and then they will make it available for thirty days and then finalize it before issuing a finding of no significant impact. Real briefly some of the environmental impacts we are crossing a stream so that we don't impact any of the resources in the stream we are working with the Corps of Engineers to identify wetlands and also identify what is considered the ordinary high water mark which is the portion that the Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over. So you need to get a Special Permit if you go below the high water mark of if you go into the wetland. So the bridge is being designed to avoid touching the stream, stay above the high water mark and stay out of the wetlands so these bridge supports will be placed so that they don't affect those areas. We are going to have to get a stone water discharge notice of intent so we are going to have to come up with all of the so called best management practices . The sandbags, silt screens so that. when construction occurs, not only the stream the entire length that you going to have adverse stone water impacts. Because of the way we are avoiding the stream there be no impact on the native oopu nakea which is known to migrate into this stream. There is a two foot free board meaning the bottom of the bridge will be two feet above the hundred year flood elevations . I think the minimum is one foot but we are going for two feet. Regarding some of the other findings biological there is no endangered plants or species in that area. One thing was raised and I think this was all over Kauai the Newell Shearwater probably flies over this area so there will be no night time construction at least during the time that they are known to over fly. All of the lights will be shielded to prevent disorienting the fledglings or the bird species. The biologist also feels although the Hawaiian bat is also known to be in this area although he didn't see and roosts he suspects they roost in the vegetation near Omao September 2, 2010 K.H.P.R.C. Noleetiag Minutes Page G Stream.. The concern there is that you don't disturb the females and the pups during April and August when it is hard for them to escape so you could harm the pups. So any clearing of this area will avoid the pupping season. Consulted with the Fish and Wildlife Service and it' s not within the critical habitat units for the blind spider and the (inaudible) but you never can tell so if it is discovered then we will have to contact Fish & Wildlife . Regarding historic and archeological resources there was an archeological inventory study conducted in 2003 and what happens when the design starts to develop they found that some of the curves because of the way some of the roads are shaped that there was some parts in the small portions in the corners weren't surveyed so we had another quick survey done in 2010 and confirmed that there were no sites and that those inventory reports were filed with SHPD and both were accepted. Again although nothing was found if anything is encountered work has to stop and SHPD has to be notified. Regarding cultural impact assessment, that was conducted in 2003 and the expect to adverse impacts on the cultural properties or practices, gathering rights or traditional access but again we are still in the Section 106 process and we need to get final sign off from Historic Preservation Office on that 106 . So we are still in the consultation phase so that is one of the reasons why we are here before you. Chair: You haven' t received SHPD comments yet? Mr. Matsukawa: We also have here Francis Yamada of Wilson Okamoto, David Schiedler, and Missy Kamai of Cultural Surveys so I will just direct it to David. Questions SHPD comments on the cultural impact. Mr. Schiedler: Sure. Chair: Please come forward. Mr. Schiedler: Aloha Kakou. Chair : David Schiedler Cultural Surveys. . Mr. Schiedler: In response to the question this is actually just to refresh all of our memories . This is the third time this project has been before this body. This body gave certain preliminary comments regarding the cultural impact assessment in the memo of November 7, 2003 and formerly reviewed the draft cultural impact Assessment January 7, 2004. In that time frame the cultural impact assessment incorporating the previous outreach to the KHPRC and others were circulated to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and also did comment on the cultural impact assessment and had no specific comment but did formerly acknowledge it. Chair: Can you highlight the KHPRC' s comments in 2003 and 2004? Mr, Schiedler: Sure. As summarized in the K.HPRC memo of April 15 , 2004 this is to inform you that the KHPRC met on January 7, 2004 to review the draft cultural impact assessment for September 2, 2010 K.H.P.RC. Meeting Minutes Page 7 the above project. It is noted that the KHPRC provided preliminary comments on the project via memo on November 7, 2003 as such no further comments were offered on the assessment that we received for the record . I can't remember what I did yesterday so I dug out the memo . In that time frame you know it is part of the good faith effort of the cultural impact assessment was circulated to the KHPRC with the follow up letter that got this response. It was also circulated to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs with the follow up letter that got their response which is somewhat similar in those substantive responses . We did send it to the Kauai/Niihau Island Burial Council with follow up letter I got no response. We did send it to Nancy McMahon with follow up letter and to Nathan Napoka of the Cultural History Branch of the State Historic Preservation Division with a follow up letter and gotten a response from them within the time frame. Chair: Ok. Are we ready for questions? Mr. Matsukawa: Let me just quickly finish up. Ok it' s in the County' s General Plan. Also this is the ' 83 plan it shows that road connection and then the Omao Road no longer connecting here. Also in the Charlier Study said this is a recommended street connection again to improve overall circulation. Twenty six million expected cost. Right now they are expected to start 2013 and finish two years later. That' s it. Chair: Let me shout out a couple questions. Kuleana? Any kuleana within the corridor when you looked at that? Mr. Schiedler: No. The vast majority of the lands are part of the greater Koloa LCA Award. There is a LCA Award to the AP mission somewhat unusual abbreviation (inaudible) . But those are the only ones in that corridor. Chair: Yes but no kuleana within this corridor at one point right? Mr. Helder: I have a question. In your draft assessment you state that the Kauai long range transportation plan didn' t recommend this? Mr. Matsukawa: It was an alternative considered but it said additional studies will be required. It was one of the alternatives considered that was actually discussed in the plan but they wanted the whole area considered so they weren't ready to say this one, this one, this one and just recommended a regional study be conducted. Mr. Helder: And what were the alternatives that were considered as well? Mr. Matsukawa: I think there were mostly other roadway connections that were considered. I think there were some others proposed because there were things like widening and signalizations and things like that. This was among all of them cause they didn' t get to say they approve this one over the other one but they recommended that a regional study be done. Mr. Helder: And has this gone back to them to ask if this was now acceptable at this point? September 2, 2010 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 8 Mr, Matsukawa: Their study was done in 1997 but it is fully understood that this thing is moving forward as far as the Kukuiula development. It is actually a requirement, a condition. Mr. Heider: The other question that I had was that it was a decision about not putting roundabouts in, that at this stage of the project or at all then they were talking about because it would require getting larger piece. But then I noticed they where having to get those easements anyway for portions of the program so I was wondering what the options were. Mr. Matsukawa: I explained this at the public meeting. The design was carried forward to the point to (inaudible). The design did not include a roundabout. We did some layouts and it could fit the two lane roadway roundabout. It can fit and basically the EPW is going to carry the design forth right now it' s all schematic. There is room. There were comments received, people wanted sidewalks. They wanted EPW to consider roundabouts and then bike lanes were also suggested. At this point the design is very broad. We did the EA basically say if you find something here you are probably not going to have (inaudible) but the design is still moving forward. EPW has not finalized so they said we will consider brought forth and they are quite aware that there are recommendations, the members of the community recommending roundabouts, some are recommending sidewalks. So they are taking that all in to account and by moving forth with this EIA it doesn't preclude things like that. Chair: Koloa Plantation never improved the stream, the Omao section of the stream right there coming in towards the mill? They never altered the bed or anything? There was no taro production along the streambed moving on to that corridor? Mr. Schiedler: Our two major informants with a long time were Abel Medeiros born in Koloa in 1920 and Louie Jacinto born in 1924 both indicated that they have lived their entire lives in the immediate vicinity working for the consecutively the McBryde Sugar and Koloa Sugar. Neither of them had any memory of cultivation of taro . They emphasized that this section of stream as relating to the spillway for the reservoir and they maintained that the plantation was very exclusive about this stretch of stream. We were particularly interested if there was any fishing or any evidence of opae or oopu that kind of thing but they said no there was no fishing and there was no swimming allowed in this section of the stream with the plantation. And it was very exclusive one of them had some kind of a policing role keeping people out. Chair: Commissioners? Ms . Summers: I just have a memory of Pila Kikuchi suspecting that farm land that is at the corner of Koloa and Omao, that, that was a site that was in legends. So we won't have any structures on or anything but that is the site where Kawelo ' s kite landed. But I don't know if that is a site that we can project. Chair: Maybe they can name that portion of northern leg after that. Septembcr 2, 2010 KRRR.C. Meeting Minutes Page 9 Ms. Summers : Yes so I am wondering if it looks like that is going to be cutting through the middle of that area whereas that area is just being farmed but for what its worth that' s additional information. Chair: Could we get the name of that kite? My first thought was Maulill of course right? It' s proximity to Maulili which is the war temple of Koloa right. We have an 1849 map drawn by memory by Kalama who has produced the finest map in Hawaii known to date in the 1834s and this one has some information here but it' s hard to see what' s going on in there. But I know Koloa Plantation has been there since the beginning that was usually field number one . That was the first field that they bulldozed, not bulldozed in those days (inaudible) opened it up, that was field one . Mr. Schiedler: (Inaudible) from one of our informants it had been in cane from as far as . . . Chair: Yes from the very beginning from 1835 that was already in cane. The cultural layout of Koloa I think is still poorly understood right. I think the field systems alright, I was always curious about taro production was going on. But yes at this particular point it ' s hard to pin point. Any questions? Do you have a rendering of the bridge? Mr. Matsukawa: It' s still in design. Chair: We have two cents about bridges if you like. (Laughter in background.) Mr. Matsukawa: It is pretty standard to design. I don' t have the elevation drawings . Chair: Ok would you like to see the bridge designs when they do come up? Mr. Helder: I would. Chair : Yes in that at this particular point cultural matters are always hard to pinpoint at this point. The next one would be the esthetics of the bridge itself. That would be, we would be curious about. I think we would be concerned about the types of guardrail. Koloa is very particular to their history, they are proud of it and 1 thin if they really develop their history then they may have something to say in there. But then again I don 't think it' s anything, there is simple recommendations about that if that happens . So at this particular point other than, you have no comments from SHPD? Mr. Schiedler: Correct. We have four letters requesting comments and or review. We have it yes because normally what we would like to do is review SHPD conu - ents before we make our final reconui-iendations but once again we have no SHPD comments . Mr. Helder: I would move that we accept this draft assessment with the recommendation that we would like to see the design of the bridge when it finally comes out and that we would like to see that after the State responds so that we can see a compilation of both. September 2, 2010 KARR.C. Meeting Minutes Page 10 Chair: Absolutely. Could we add another motion to acknowledge yours? Could you find us the name of the kite and info on that because one of the recommendations that in this bypass that you would consider this particular naive and now you know why right? It would help to keep this particular story alive, Kawelo was very important character to us here on Kauai and it is critical that his name any name that is associated with him. I think that we would deeply appreciate if you take that into consideration. Ms. Summers : I know that, that field is called Kahoo leina a pea. Chair: Kahoo leina a pea. Ms. Summers : Yes cause it' s the flying of the . . . Chair: Better write that down. Kahoo leina a pea. Yes the meaning of it is fascinating. Just the word alone is a good one. Pea of course is the bad but the leina is the leap . The final leap that the soles make into the night world right so now because of that particular word right there Kahoo leina is to jump into, it' s the final leap into the night world. Ms. Summers : That the leina yes but the hoo leina (inaudible). Actually it' s not his kite that landed there it was Kauahoa' s . Chair: His friend. If you can double check that for us please and then I think we cal . . . Mr. Helder: Can we put that into the recommendations . Chair: Yes I think at this point we can communicate to Cultural Surveys the name and to do research. Mr. Helder: And the letter. Chair: We can just call you up right and if not we can make it official to the County and then the County to you but we can just call you and double check it. So the first part of it is we would like to review the bridge designs when it does come up . Consider the name at this particular point. Mr. Helder: And review the State' s recommendation.. Chair: Yes and then have a chance for us to review that on the bridge thing. By then everything should be done. Staff: Chair can Commissioner Summers just clarify Kahoo leina a pea and then the other you said? Chair: Kauahoa. September 2, 2010 KHT.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 11 Ms. Summers : Kauahoa was actually the guy whose kite it was and Kawelo ' s kite broke the string on this kite and his kite flew all the way from Wailua, possibly cut the notch above Knudsen Gap and then landed over there. So that' s why that land is flat because that kite landed on that flat. Chair: The notch is Kokii. Anything else you would like to add? That was good. Mr. Helder: That was in the form of a motion? Chair: Yes so we have it in two parts, three parts right now. The bridge design, the comments/recommendations, the kite at this particular point this is motion is essentially those three parts . I would like to open up to the general audience right now. Mr. Helder: Do you need a second at this point? Chair: It' s been moved? Ms . Summers : Second. Chair: It' s been moved and seconded prior to voting is there anyone in the audience that wishes to address the northern leg? (None.) Ok Commissioners are we ready? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) All opposed? (None.) Motion carries thank you. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no Unfinished Business NEW BUSINESS Re : McBryde Sugar Plantation Manager' s House (Kukuiula ,Development Company, LLC) Tai: Map Key: (4)2-6-Ol l : 013 , Kukuiula I-larbor, Koloa, Kauai Temporary relocation of the former McBryde Sugar Plantation Manager' s house located at the Kukuiula Harbor to the Prince Kuhio Park, Koloa, Kauai Chair: No we are moving on to New Business, McBryde Sugar Plantation Manager' s House. Temporary relocation of the McBryde Sugar Plantation Manager' s House anybody here to address? I see this crowd over here you guys are the last. Hi nice to see you. Ms. Gini Kapali: Aloha Chairman Wichman and members of the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission. Kukuiula has submitted a request for your consideration to allow us to relocate the McBryde Sugar Plantation home which is located at Kukuiula Harbor at this time. We were advised by the staff at the Planning Department that the house (inaudible) needs to go September 2, 2010 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 12 because we discovered that the beautiful home seems to be over fifty years old so it trigger more processing at that point. Just a little bit back ground, that particular parcel there at Kukuiula Harbor which now locates the, we call it the bay cottage but it is actually the McBryde Sugar Plantation main home and there was like a smaller cottage there and I guess they used it for whoever assisted with the Manager' s home. So there is two cottages right there at Kukuiula Harbor. That particular parcel there is no owned by Kukuiula Development Company and through our Zoning Ordinance processes it was asked that that particular piece of property be dedicated to the County for an open park space and that is to be happening and we are committed to do that but part of that process is to remove the structures from the particular area and then opening it with a park with green grass and some pavilions. In that process that is when we came across the two homes that need to be removed. Currently the smaller cottage has already gone through its renovation to be moved this Saturday because it' s just a smaller cottage and the Kawaikini Charter School at Kauai Community College will be the recipient of that donation from Kukuiula Development Company and so that is done and has been processed. The larger cottage is in this phase. So we had to call the expert on island Mike Faye to assist us in looking at this relocation but at the same time we knoNv we have to go through this process with the review commission to ask for your consideration to allow us to relocate that particular home to the Prince Kuhio Park. Again that is another legacy that we feel is going to be preserved because there is a partnership between the Royal Order of Kamehmeha and Kawaikini Charter School. The intent of relocating this manager' s home to the Prince Kuhio Park is to eventually as time goes on to use it as a possible open classroom for the Kawaikini Charter School students in relation to Prince Kuhio and the Royal Order of Kamehameha. I know it' s kind of years down the line because there is a lot of moving parts to this so this is our first step in the relocation of that structure . I do have Mike Faye here and Lyndsey Crawford and Tom Shigemoto from our company here. Mike Faye with the Mover' s of Hawaii if there is technical questions that you may have. So at this point I believe what' s before the Commission in the letter that we sent there is request for your favorable consideration to allow us to relocate the McBryde Sugar Plantation Manager' s hoarse to Prince Kuhio Park. Mr. Costa: I just wanted to provide further information as a result of Kukuiula' s zoning ordinance one of the conditions was to dedicate this particular parcel for park expansion to the Kukuiula Harbor and in that ordinance the County had the right to state whether they wanted the structures left in place or moved. So the County did express to Kukuiula that they wanted the structures removed and as a result and due to their generosity as opposed to just demolishing I believe the cottage is not fifty years or greater so it wasn't deemed historic it is the Manager' s house that is. So this particular placement on Order of Kamehmeha or Prince Kuhio Park at least with respect to this appearance is somewhat temporary in nature in that they have to still have to apply for an September 2, 2010 K.H RR.C. Meeting Minutes Page 13 SMA permit for the permanent placement so it will come back to you once they provide plans and elevations as to where it' s going to be placed and how it is going to . . . Chair: I think we have an idea as to where it is going to be placed in the footprint. Mr. Costa: They are going to be basically donating the structure right now and it is going to be placed at the very rear of the property until they can develop their construction drawings cause they got to build the foundation for it. Chair: And the twenty one acres that recently calve into the park too . Mr. Costa: So I just wanted to clarify that this appearance is about the temporary storage and will be shortly an SMA permit, another opportunity for the commission to comment. Mr. Helder: I understand the idea is trying to save, if they demolished it, which they could do, it' s gone. If they moved it off site it' s no longer historic. It is my understanding that once it is moved it shouldn't come back to us anyway because it is no longer as a nice thing but in terms of State Historic . . . Chair: That is a separate issue. Moving is what we are going to deal with today. Mr. Helder: Yes . Chair: But it looks like I think we are going to be able to review the actual placement if we deemed to or wanted to anyway. Mr. Helder: If we wanted to. I don' t know that it would be good yes . Chair: If we wanted to yes. Now that I am aware that all of the paper work and the permits are not established just yet this is just the movernent of the house there. You are going to worry about the permits later right? Mr. Costa: It' s primarily due to procedural, anytime somebody applies to relocate something then it automatically triggers well where is it going? Mr. Helder: So I think from our stand point thank you very much you are trying to preserve the thing because I think that' s rather then just demolishing it stays intact some place where we can get in place. I would much rather see this then have it torn down. The County had no interest in accepting the property with the building intact on it using it as a part of this park? Mr. Costa: I am not sure what was behind their decision but it was basically the decision of the Parks Department administration as to what they wanted to use that newly gained expansion space for. Ms. Summers : They didn't come before us to ask (inaudible)? September 2, 2010 K.H RR.C. Meeting Minutes Page 14 Chair: The County? Ms. Summers : Yes. Chair: No . Ms. Aiu: So looking at the letter we got from SHPD are you folks going to do the things that they have asked? The asked for documentation. Thomas Vierra is an important architect and they said they have no photographs and so are you planning to provide any of these? Ms . Kapali : We just received this letter today ourselves so we are just reviewing it and we certainly have all they are asking for photos of the house . Chair: These are standard recommendations here. There is nothing out of the ordinary here from SHPD . Ms. Ka2ali : And at this point thank you Director Costa for clarifying that at this point because of the requirements it is going to be considered as a temporary storage just for the Planning process but as I mentioned it might have been missed that it is going to take a little while yet to get the funds and the construction funds to put it all back together on the Prince Kuhio Park and that will go through a whole set of permitting yet. Chair : And you are going to be assisting the Royal Order to insure that the house is properly established there? Ms. Kapali: That is a good question. The agreement that we had with the Royal Order of Kamehameha and the Kawaikini Charter School is through a legal document bill of sale once the house is removed from Kukuiula Harbor it becomes the new owner' s are Kawaikini Charter School Saving the Language of Kauai Foundation accepted. So to answer your question no Kukuiula will not be responsible for the final preservation of that home . Chair: Yes clearly it is within the Royal Order and Kawaikini in their grant writing to have a grant writing campaign coming up. Ms. Kgpali: Absolutely. I can't answer for them I do have members of the Royal Order of Kamehameha in our audience today and yes, I am sorry for those I apologize my name is Gini Kapali and I represent Kukuiula Development Company. And it was a process by which we met with the removal of these structures and working with the County Administration and Planning Department on what is the best thing. We also have Tom Shigemoto who is the real historian here with A&B Properties who actually had this office in the manager' s house and you know when the zoning ordinance went through it was really to open up to do open space and park space to do more green, more sand, more pavilions . So however that particular process still has to go through some other community input yet for that final design of that two to two and a half acres of property there . But that is where we are at right now. September 2, 201.0 K,H.P.R.G, Meeting Minutes Page 15 Chair : If you don't mind if we have the Royal Order here how about a couple questions for them. Welcome you guys have been thinking about that for a while now definitely and I think from immediately without giving it to much thought it is really good to be able to expand out your cooperation with Kawalkini and things like that. Having this particular classroom right there also right you are going to be using it for educational purposes. Unidentified Speaker: First of all we are going to help to preserve it until we find a permanent site and (inaudible). We want to make it an educational type of set lip. We have the space for it. Now like everything we went through the planning stages too just to receive it (inaudible) . Chair: What you may want to consider is we have a consultation process, preconsultation process here so with no commitment to you or us we can brainstorm. I think one of the when thinking ahead the first thing is your sewage connections to this building right. You are going to be moving through the park. So those are certain elements I think we need to come up with now and get certain elements out where they need to be right cause they might be a Tittle bit expensive you know. There are other elements but it' s a process that is open to you if you want to take advantage of it preconsultation. You know we are here for information and so we are good at brainstorming so it' s unofficial. Nobody is committed to anything. You or me or us but we can kind of look at this thing in a larger plaid and then be able to help you through some of the steps to make it happen some of the flags that will automatically come up as of this but at this particular point today Commissioners are you ok with this? Mr. Helder: Yes. Commissioners : Thank you. We normally concur or not concur with SHPD . So I think at this particular point I think we are concurring with their letter and we are not making any additions to the recommendations . We highly recommend of course, not the HABS ,study quality of it you know I don't think 4X5 or the archival is required for this but really good photographs of the building right now would be really appreciated cause that could be part of the interpretive that is part of the building. The Royal Order will know what to do with that information so those photographs will help. Ms. Kapili : Chairman I just need to confirm for the record that Kukuiula will follow Upon their recommendation as set forth in this letter and I think there is another section in here about taking the cross section on the inside of the house. We don' t have all those photos. We certainly have of the outside and the outside premises . So we will definitely put this package together for submittal. Chair: Yes there is nothing out of the ordinary. Mr. Helder: We could accept it concurring with this and in addition to if we had something we wanted to but other than we look forward to seeing it come back together. Chair: That we concur with their letter. Mr. Helder: And accept their recommendations and loot: forward to seeing the project again. September 2, 2010 K.H.P,R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 16 Chair: Absolutely, Ms. Aiu: You said you have on file photographs just in case Michael drops it as he is moving it (laughter in background'). Chair: That' s not on the record. Ms . Kapali : Yes we have those but like I said in addition to that is to take of the interior of the house a little bit more and certainly that is a good idea and perhaps we already have it but I don't know that. We will certainly follow up on that. Chair: Yes and we are not going to make it specific on the preconsultation to the Royal Order just keep that in mind. We need a second Commissioners. Ms , Aiu: I second. Chair: Moved and seconded. Before we vote is there anybody in the audience who wish to address this relocation? We are ready. All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) All opposed? Hearing none motion carries. Thank you for your time. So that means Royal Order whether or not you will be back at some point we will see each other again. We wish you the best. Thank you.
