Meeting Minutes Page 2 Mr. Helder: We used them all up? Staff: Yes. Mr. Helder: Ok so who has? The Mayor has one? The Council has two left? Staff: Two out of the four. Mr. Helder: Four total. They have four and four and one commission appointed position. Mr. Helder: How many are missing now Staff: Two council. Mr. Heider: Alright would you like to introduce your guest? Ms. Griffin: He is not only my guest but I would like to have him since it' s part of business to sa hello . Chair: Come on down. Mr. Stephen Long : Thank you. Hi my name is Stephen Long. I am a licensed architect in Hawaii. Yesterday I interviewed with County Council to become a member of your commission. I hope that they would approve my petition. I don't know if any of you knows anything about me. I will let you know a little bit about my experience. Foremost I raised two boys on Kauai and I appreciate the opportunity to have been brought up here in the social, cultural, environmental specialties that Kauai had to offer in their upbringing. I would like to (inaudible) and the community to be able to identify, preserve, and enhance our unique qualities, particularly archeological/architectural on the island of which I feel I have experience in that regards professionally. Professionally I was a consultant to the (inaudible) in Washington DC . I have a particular interest in (inaudible) my work internationally. As an architect I had an office in Chicago for eight years and worked on the renovation/restoration on a number of midrise architectural buildings in Chicago. At the University of Oregon I did my graduate school there and I wrote a book entitled, "The Architectural History of the University of Oregon" and had the responsibility of comparing applications for three structures that were placed on the Register of Historic Buildings. On Kauai over the last 20 years of my professional practice here on Kauai I worked for DAGS after the hurricane restoring their public buildings, the schools that were destroyed by Iniki including Kekaha School and the Lutheran Church in Anahola. I worked with Uncle Willie Aki in 1994 to redesign Anahola Beach Park and present that to community. I professional worked on a number of homes in Ha'ena, Kahilimaki Subdivision, Kilohana Plantation, Rice Building, (inaudible) in Hanalei involved, architectural, archeological investigations on two properties on the Big Island. One was the first Ahupuaa that was given and or sold to the Roman Catholic June 7, 2012 K.I-I.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 3 Church in 1846 which I purchased in 2005 . It has a Hawaiian fishing village on it which I have indentified, protected, and attempting to restore. Mud lane which is historic access up to Waimea Town. As a developer I have worked on a number of projects. 'Anini Vista Subdivision and on all of my development I always take pride in personally identifying archeological remains on the site and getting the State Historic Preservation Department involved in identifying and protecting those. I have worked with Mrs. Chandler on 'Anini Vista Subdivision with her family Hawaiian cemetery. I hope to become a member of (inaudible) and provide some professional assistance in evaluating those projects that come before you. Do you have any questions? Chair: Can I borrow some of your stuff to add to my resume? (Laughter in background) . Mr. Long: I am sorry? I am old and hard of hearing. (Laughter in background). Chair: I said can I add some of your stuff to my resume? Mr. Long: As you like. (Laughter in background). Mr. Helder: Sounds great. Ms. Griffin: Chair Furfaro, yesterday suggested that Mr. Long come to our meeting today and he was probably planning to do that anyway but I thought that it would be nice to at least have him introduce himself. Mr. Long: My best friend in Alan Faye. Ms. Griffin: He was a commissioner her. . Chair: Thank you we appreciate it. Mr. Helder: Thank you good luck. We would love to have you on here. COMMUNICATIONS There were no communications. UNIFINISHED BUSINESS Re: Certified Local Government (CLG) Grant Update Chair: CLG update. Ms. Aiu: You are going to present us with an update? Do you know what' s happening? June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C, Meeting Minutes Page 4 Staff. Only that no change fxom the last time. I don't know if I told you that I did speak with the State Historic Preservation Division staff where they said that they would be forwarding and sending the grant application over to the National Park Service and I haven't heard anything other than that. So the amounts were $50,000 . Ms. Griffin: So it' s actually gone in? I have been away. Staff: They said that they would be sending it over and I think the deadline for them to send it I think is August, if I am not mistaken, cause then they would know by October if I am not mistaken. Ms. Griffin: I know something that is kind of related to the CLG and that is completing our commission and I just wanted to mention that our audience member, Stephen Long, was interviewed yesterday by the County Council and I wondered if it would be inappropriate to ask him to introduce. The vote will be next week but yesterday was the interview in front of the Council and would it be possible as part of our CLG update to have Mr. Long introduce himself. Ms. Jody Higuchi : Is that relevant to the grant update? I am sorry. Ms. Griffin: It' s relevant to the CLG Update but I missed that grant part. Ms. Higuchi : Yes it' s not on the agenda, not formally. Chair: Ok. You can always introduce yourself after. Alright so selection of next meeting date and agenda topics. Oh did I miss something? Mr. Helder: I have a question relative to the grant update and the CLG. Are we impacted, I know Larry Oaks vanished. Last I heard from him he was in Italy and he was the one that was kind of gun running the grant stuff for us with the State and he has left and the State is in an uproar. Is anything going forward from the State on any of this stuff now that they are? Confused I guess is the word that I would probably use. Staff. We can send an email to them. Right now the person that we have been dealing with is Michael Gushard. I think you all may have met him at one of the meetings and then also Randolph Lee is the other staff and he has been there for some time now that normally deals with these grants. So Larry Oaks really was sort of a consultant from National Park Service. Mr. Helder: My understanding in talking to him was he was trying to guide them through the process and wasn't satisfied with what he was getting and he felt like he was wasting his time. That' s what the interview said. My question would be if they don't and the Federal Government decides to decertify them, my understanding the funding comes to us not necessarily through the State, although they have been administered by the State, would they come through somewhere else? Is that a question that you could ask? June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 5 Staff: We can find out but my understanding of the way the CLG Grant system works is through the State Historic Preservation Division. Mr. Helder: Well they have been passing it through there but it actually comes from Parks? Staff: It' s actually a partnership between the Federal Government, the State, and the Local Government. Mr. Helder: Right. If we don't have the State as a partner and we are still a Certified Local Government under National Parks do we have to have the State to continue? That' s what they told us. Staff: I see. I am not sure if the question you are asking if the program becomes decertified through the State I think it affects us also. Mr. Helder: Does the decertification of the State decertify our CLG? Cause in essence . . . Staff: I think it does . Ms. Higuchi: I don't know the answer but we can have Ian check. Staff. We can check. Mr. Helder: If it does not how do we continue to get funded? Ms. Griffin: Is it possible to go back to announcements and general business matters? Chair: Sure. [go to announcements and general business matters] . NEW BUSINESS Re: Say Dock House (Hanalei Center) Chair: On to the Say Dock House (Hanalei Center) TMK: 5-5-09 : 15 . Anyone here? Come on down. Mr. John Morrall : Hi I am John Morrall . I am here to represent the center. It's basically just a carport and storage shed and it is ten feet away from the historic building so the State people didn' t think it would have a big impact on it. It is basically right behind here where you see the cars. Chair: Ok it' s behind in the back? Mr. Morrall : Yes. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 6 Chair: Ok so it' s not right next to the house then? Mr. Morrall: No it' s behind. Here is the house here and it' s behind it this way. Chair: So you would still be able to see it if you are driving by. Mr. Morrall: Yes. Mr. Helder: And you are here to represent whom? Mr. Morrall: The Hanalei Center. Mr. Helder: Oh the Hanalei Center and what relationship is it to the project? Mr. Morrall: I was the drafts person and I drew the plans. Mr. Helder: So does this belong to the Hanalei Center? Mr. Morrall: It' s Gaylord Wilcox' s property. Mr. Helder: And you guys using it? Mr. Morrall : It' s the center' s caretaker that lives there (inaudible). Mr. Helder: Ok. Ms. Aiu: I must have, maybe I missed it. What is it going to be made of? Mr. Morrall: It' s open. It' s basically six pillars, actually four pillars and a storage shed next to it. Ms. Aiu: What's the roof? Mr. Morrall: We were just going to use tin roof. Mr. Helder: Is it the same kind of tin that's on the building? Mr. Morrall: It' s corrugated metal roofing. Mr. Helder: And are the doors and windows are they done like the house? Mr. Morrall: Have you seen the house? Mr. Helder: Yes I live there. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 7 Mr. Morrall : It' s been added on to probably about 20 times and everybody has got their own idea about what' s, I mean it' s an add on and an add on, add on and there is not really a whole lot of consistency (inaudible) . Mr. Helder: But it' s on the Register of Historic places and has it been modified since that has happened? Mr. Morrall : No I don't think so. Mr. Helder: So whatever is there has been recognized. The question I am asking is are the doors and windows on this particular which will be visible do they have some relationship to what exists on this historic building. Mr. Morrall : The doors and windows aren't visible from the street. You would have to go around the side of the yard to see . If you think they should be something we can make it be something. Mr. Helder: What it is, is that when you come in to this particular you need to present us with what' s going to be done so that we can approve it or not and if we can't see what it is relative to what exists. Mr. Morrall: We were going to do just sliding glass windows we found at the Home depot. We weren't really trying to match the building but if you think it should be I am sure we can (inaudible) . Ms. Griffin. I have a question. I noticed that and I apologize I missed your name. Mr. Morrall: John, John Morrall. Ms. . Griffin : Thank you. I noticed that the letter from the State Historic Preservation Division was quite a while ago, in December, and the plans were signed off a month later. Mr. Morrall : I was going to mention that when you go to the County for the building permit they mention the State and give you a phone number. They didn't mention you guys at all. I was surprised I get to towards the end of the thing and I go what' s up and they go you got to go get the County too. I was going to mention that it might be nice to have a check list for historical buildings that don't forget the County and we have a number for the State. It was really not that easy to track down the State guys. It took about a month for them to respond with a letter. It' s kind of not a real straight path. We had to kind of figure out what to do. Chair. I think the question is what plans did the State get because the plans that are here are dated after the letter from the State. So what plans exactly did the State get to see? Mr. Morrall : The same plans. Ms. Griffin: They are. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 8 Mr. Morrall : What they did though they said because it' s a detached garage. It has to be ten feet away from the building and we drew it a little closer. So there was a note on there minimum ten feet setback. Ms. Griffin: So it' s going back even farther. Mr. Morrall : Even further. Ms. Griffin: 4k cause I did, I took a couple pictures myself and I can pass these around and actually to be honest having it further back, cause it's such a privilege to live in a house that' s on the register and I know that a lot of work has been done on the house and that it used to be quite deteriorated and I thing SHPD as we call it, the State Historic Preservation Division, noted that improvements on it but putting and they had talked about a garage whereas you are really talking carport per say. Having it back further does help keep the modest scale of that historic structure in line and so that sounds and it sounds like what exactly the windows aren' t going to be visible from that area, that very open carport will be the front. So I am glad to see that we are seeing the same things that the State Historic Preservation did. Cause the roof also does not show as corrugated, computers right. Mr. Morrall : Yes it is noted as corrugated on the notes. The visual is wrong. I agree . Ms. Griffin: And then the storage itself would be T- I 11 . Mr. Morrall : Yes practical storage area. Ms. Griffin: And I noticed when I was up there, you can show this around if you want, I notice when I was up there is another I don't know if it's a play house or if it' s current storage. Mr, Morrall : I think it' s just a shed, storage shed in the back yard. Ms. Griffin: So this structure will . . . Mr. Morrall : Will be separate and ten feet away. So it' s going to be over and back. Ms. Griffin: It' s really a, it's such a sweet little place. There is so much around it up to that point with Ching Young across the street and the Hanalei you know this commercial area and then you get to that house and are reminded of that very rural village that was here until recently. So I think that' s part of the conversation about windows and things is how to maintain that appearance. Mr. Morrall: We can put board and batten. Chair: Anymore questions? Do you guys want to . . . June 7. 20I2 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 9 Ms. Gray: What is this here? Is that like kayaks? So you cannot use it for commercial? Mr. Morrall: It's for the caretaker of the shopping center. Chair: Are you ready to make a motion? Mr. Helder: I go in and out of here all the time and often times this is visible from the parking lot here and I think that having something on the site isn't just ok ten feet away so it doesn't have to relate to the, Hanalei has a certain style and a certain look to it and I would really like to see the windows and doors. If you look at your own shot here the way the window treatment is, is all very similar. It' s very harmonious in Hanalei and I would, whatever motion you are going to make I am going to add to it that the recommendation is that the window treatment and the door treatment reflect the rest of the building cause our making a decision based on the site and the sites as you know impact a lot and we had this conversation over solar panels. Ms. Griffin: I am comfortable with your making a motion David. Mr. Helder: Ok I would like to move that we accept these plans as drawn with the caveat that the roof treatment which is not spelled out on the plans here be a treatment that goes along with the historic house and that the windows and door treatments reflect the historic house also and color. Mr. Morrall: Excuse me what kind of door would be . . . Mr. Helder: Well fortunately, well unfortunately you haven't provided real documentation on the doors and windows. Pat' s photographs are not really close up enough so that I can see them to tell you what that would be. Normally when we get a project like this we get all the documentation that goes along with it so that we can make a recommendation. Chair: Those that are on this house. Mr. Helder: On the existing house yes so that you are not looking like something that looks like a modern stick on. Chair: You want it matching this as much as possible to blend in. So we want the same style that this is so that the character of it. Chair: So we want the same look as this same roof; same windows; same door; same color; same; same; same. Mr. Mollar: I am a little fuzzy about the door itself. The windows I can see completely. I really don't see a different door style on the house. It' s just an old door. Mr. Helder: Do you have a picture of the door? Chair: It doesn't show the door. We can't see. June 7. 20I2 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 10 Mr. Helder: This picture that shows the door. I don't know whether I am looking at a screen door or what I am looking at. Is it a raised panel door like an old traditional . . . Chair: So if this was a glass door than the wooden door. Mr. Helder: You know so if this is a double door then a double door made that way so that when you look at one and the other. It doesn't have to be same or exactly perfect. We prefer that it not be the same because we don't want to confuse something old with an addition, what we don't want is we don't want this to pull from there. Ms. Griffin: In other words we are guided by something that shorthand is Secretary Standards, it' s the Secretary of Interior and there are standards for rehabilitation on whether we call the shorthand is character designing elements and often the roof, the doors, the windows are character defining elements. In this case you are not making changes to the building itself or we would ask you to replace in kind. So in looking at new construction we look in terms of not trying to look old and fool people coming along but to have it sympathetic in design and construction so that the scale doesn't overwhelm. That is what I was talking about being back some so that it's not so immediate but have that sympathetic design so that they there is (inaudible) on the lot. You live on the north shore? Mr. Morrall : Yes Ms. Griffin: So what we are saying is there is this style in these 20s and 30s buildings up there that were developed and that's what the motion and the request is leading towards. It' s not having something just cobbled together on there that would fight with this building on the State Register. Mr. Helder: Also Hanalei is in the historic district. So the demand on building there are that whatever you build reflect the character of the district but not to (inaudible). So you have both those standards to work on. So it's easy you know you look through Hanalei and see how it' s done. You know it' s kind of like a lesson in architecture. So anyway that' s the motion. Chair: What is the motion? Mr. Helder: The motion is that we approve these plans with the caveat that the roof treatment, the door treatment, the windows and color reflect the character of the existing historic structure and that it also be harmonious with the historic nature of Hanalei itself. Chair: Can I get a second? Ms. Griffin: Second. June 7, 2012 K.I3.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page I I Chair: All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote). Thank you very much. SELECTION OF NEXT MEETING DATE AND AGENDA TOPICS Chair: Ok selection of next meeting date and agenda topics. Our next meeting date is . . . Staff: July 5th Ms. Aiu: I am not going to be here on this next one . Mr. Helder: I may not either. Chair: So that' s two. Mr. Helder: Could we move it to the second Thursday in July. I am asking you. Chair: I am good. Mr. Helder: You are good with that. Is everybody good with that the second Thursday in July? Staff: Commissioners just a heads up for July, I have been contacted by a consultant they want to bring the Kokee State Parks is doing guidelines for their cabins. They want this commission to review that so they are thinking of submitted that for July. Chair: Then I would like for everyone to be here if that' s . . . Mr. Helder: Yes that would be good. Do you want to poll the rest of the commissioners and then set it? Chair: We will probably check our other calendars because this room is used by other commissions. Mr. Helder: Yes that' s what I said. Poll and then set the date after. Staff, Maybe you can select a couple dates. Chair: I am good any day. Staff: How' s the 19th sound? Mr. Helder: What day is that? Chair: That' s a Thursday. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 12 Mr. Helder; 19th would be ok. Chair: Does it have to be on a Thursday? Staff: It can be on a Tuesday. The I Oth or 241h is Planning Commission. Mr. Helder: Why don't we have you, Shan, poll all the Commissioners for dates and then you wrangle around and see if there are some dates that we can meet. Chair: I would hate to have you do so much work for that. So I would say just, if we can't do it on the fifth and we can't do it on the 12th then do it on the 19th Staff: Ok very good. Mr. Helder: Ok we should think about what we want to put on the agenda for next month, for the next meeting just so we have . . . is there anything that we should have on the agenda. Someone we would like to invite or any presentations that we want so that we are not caught up short. Chair: That might be a busy meeting. Mr. Helder: Kokee is on there. Yes. Chair: That might be a busy meeting right. Did you have anything in mind? Mr. Helder: No it just seems like you know we get cut short all the time on stuff we want to talk about and we didn't put it down. So we could put something down that we might think you want to talk about. If we don't, we don't but we can't if it' s not there. Should we put CLG funding on just so that we can . . . Ms. Aiu: Yes I asked for that already. Mr. Helder: On the agenda? Ms. Aiu: I asked them to do it on the agenda and we can either pass on it or somebody, me or somebody gives a report. So that' s going to be on every agenda until we are finished. Ms. Griffin: Ok good. If you can take off grant though then we can talk about the broader CLG so that it' s not quite so specific. We used to have, Ricky had a broiler plate phrase -of I can go back to my old, status. Mr. Helder: Yes CLG Status. That' s what it was and I would like to have it that way because I' d rather not be limited. funding is just one part of it. Training is another one. Ms. Higuchi: It should be specific enough for the public to know what' s on the agenda. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 13 Staff, And I think that' s how we got "grant update". When Ian reviews the agenda it has to be. . . Ms. Higuchi : It has to be specific enough to let the public know, get an idea of what' s on the agenda. So if it' s too broad then it' s kind of too broad. Ms. Aiu: So if we took out the word grant and we just put update would that be too broad. Ms. Higuchi: Yes. You can run it by Ian. He is the attorney assigned to this commission. If it was me. Staff: I think that is why it evolved to where it is more specific. Ms. Griffin; Perhaps there is an A & B then because there is also updates that part of what we were talking about is the status of the State Historic Preservation Division and as long as we are just talking about a grant we can't get to that and that potentially affects our lives cause those CLG funds they are based on 10% of the Federal funds that go to the State Historic Preservation Division. It doesn't say CLG you know so what' s happening with SHPD it does impact our commission and if it' s just talking about that narrowed grant we can't get to any updates. Ms. Higuchi: It can be an additional line item on the agenda. Mr. Helder: Can some of that be discussed on general business matters since it's our general business? What does that cover? Ms. Higuchi : If that' s a general business matter, you would ideally, again, you would want something specific on the agenda so that the public knows what' s on the agenda. Technically, anything could be under the general business. Staff, We do list general business matters. Ms. Higuchi : That' s more specific. Ms . Griffin: Speaking of. . . . Ms. Higuchi : They want to put CLG status so that they can broaden options so that when things come up they can discuss it under that item . Mr. Jun : But if'you want to do it now you have got to have a two thirds vote. Ms. Griffin: For next month. Mr. Jung: Ok up to you. Ms. Higuchi: Initially the concern was having it specific enough to allow the public to know what is on the agenda but if it' s you know. June 7, 2012 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes Page 14 Mr. Jung: Yes. Chair: Ok meeting is adjourned. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 3 :45 p.m. spectfully Submitted, hanlee U.

We solicit your input on this document and request that it be included on the agenda for your next regularly scheduled meeting . State Parks committed to developing and implementing these Design Guidelines to fulfill its responsibilities under the historic preservation review process mandated by §6E-8, Hawaii Revised Statues (HRS) and Chapter 13-275, Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR). It was determined that issuing new leases for the historic recreation residences and camp lots could affect significant historic properties and that measures to mitigate these potential effects were warranted . These Design Guidelines and the individual project review process they establish constitute "the detailed mitigation plan" called for in § 13-275-8(h), HAR. They provide both detailed guidance and a process by which this detailed guidance can be applied to individual improvement projects proposed by Lessees.
