NEW BUSINESS
Letter (8/ 14/13) from Michael Hunnemann, KAI Hawai'i, Inc. requesting to present plans
for partial repair of the timber Kapaia Swinging Bridge on behalf of the Department of Public
Works, County of Kauai .
Mr. Hunneman presented a slide show for the Kapaia Swinging Bridge Tower
Replacement project, provided a brief history and purpose of the project, accompanied by pre-
and post-flood photos and repair plan.
Upon detailed explanation by Mr. Hunneman on the general layout of the tower and its
construction components, Ms. Griffin asked if those components were original to the 1948
construction. Mr. Hunneman replied everything that is currently there looks exactly like it is
shown in the 1948 plans.
Ms. Griffin stated that it was mentioned that the County owns the bridge but not the land
on either side and asked what is happening to expand the usage to become part of the
transportation system of Kapaia.
September 5, 2013 K.H.P.R.C. Meeting Minutes
Page 3
County Engineer Larry Dill explained that they are in an odd situation in that the bridge
was built by the Board of Supervisors and was inherited by the County of Kauai upon its
establishment. It was originally built with no easements or legal access on either side or under
the bridge leaving them with no legal rights for access for the County or the public in general.
The goal is to rebuild the bridge to its historic condition and to provide legal access to the public,
as well as to the County for repair and maintenance. The Kapaia Foundation is very interested
and has expressed willingness to have some role in stewardship of the bridge and to assist with
providing pedestrian easements. Additionally, they are hoping to get access from Kapaia Road
to the bridge and back up to KUhi` O Highway; it' s still a work in progress .
In reference to the current plans for the towers, Ms. Griffin asked if there are plans to
continue the bridge deck onto the other side to which Mr. Dill replied yes, and that completion of
the towers is Phase I of the project; Phase II would be to complete the bridge, Iget it back to its
historic condition, and have a functioning pedestrian route.
In reference to the flood events that Mr. Hunneinan mentioned during his .presentation,
Ms. Griffin asked if it were the responsibility of the County or DLNR to address that so they will
not have to keep repairing the bridge.
Mr. Dill explained that the lack of maintenance that occurred upstream of the bridge
resulted in a large volume of debris coming down and destroying the bridge deck. The County
has a role in notifying the appropriate parties that maintenance needs to be done, and they will be
paying more attention to this specific area in order to protect the bridge along with the help of the
Kapaia Foundation.
Ms. Arinaga asked if there is any data on usage such as who uses the bridge and the
number of people that use the bridge, and stated the reason for her inquiry was because there is a
large amount of effort being put into this project and she would like to know who. will be using
it.
Mr. Dill replied he did not have that information, but noted that someone from the Kapaia
Foundation may be able to better answer that, and he feels the community values the bridge for
not just the functional use as a pedestrian route, but also because of its significant historic value.
Ms. Schneider stated she understands it is currently land-locked and asked if they are
working to get the easements to which Mr. Dill replied correct.
Deputy County Attorney Mauna Kea Trask provided a brief history of the past purpose of
the bridge and stated that the County met with the Kapaia Foundation to discuss easement terms
and possible future stewardship agreements.
Mr. Long asked for clarification on specific construction elements of the repair plan to
which Mr. Hunnemann explained the same type of material that was used in the original
construction of the bridge will be used for the repairs.
September 5, 2013 K.1.1.P.RC. Meeting Minutes
Page 4
Ms. Gray asked whether the County is paying for all of this, and mentioned the Kapaia
Foundation 's interest in the bridge.
Mr. Dill explained that the County will be taking care of the reconstruction of the bridge
and work towards getting the necessary pedestrian easements taken care of. The role of the
Foundation and possible future stewardship efforts is currently on the table for discussion; if that
doesn't happen, the County will still own the bridge and will ultimately be responsible for
maintenance.
Mr. Long mentioned some specific areas of the bridge construction that proved
problematic in the past and asked if there is anything that can be done to address that in the
current repair plan to which Mr. Hunnemann replied that they can address that by applying a
water-tight sealer and clarified that the timbers will be of Douglas fir.
Chair Aiu stated for clarification that there is a structural plan to rebuild two towers, that
we do not own the land that the two towers are going to be built on, and that we are not going to
build the towers without owning the land.
Mr. Dill explained that the County will not own the land but will be looking to obtain
easement rights for legal access.
Chair Aiu stated that she assumes that one side is owned by the Catholic Church and the
other is owned by Grove Farm to which Mr. Dill replied he believes the church owns part of one
side and Grove Farm owns one side, as well as the area where the bridge span is located.
Ms. Santos asked whether the County would be obtaining easement rights before they
build to which Mr. Dill replied that in order to expend bond funds on this project, they will need
to have the easements because they will need to have legal access to it for the public.
Ms. Griffin noted that the towers were a big issue before the March 2012 flood and that
KHPRC ' s kuleana is the preservation activity; the ownership aspects are the responsibility of the
County.
On the motion by Pat Griffin and seconded by Althea Arinaga to accept the
presentation by Kai Hawaii as given, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Trask stated that the County is appearing before the Commission not only to inform
them of what is going on, but also to satisfy the State Historic Preservation' s request for approval
for the work to be done at this historic site.
On the motion by Pat Griffin and seconded by Althea Arinaga to approve the design
of the tower reconstruction as shown, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

Via Hand Delivery
Dear Chairperson Aiu and Commissioners:
This letter is written on behalf of Kikiaola Land Company, Ltd . , ( "Kikiaola") which
this firm represents . Kikiaola is seeking this Commission's support in a matter
which affects Kikiaola and the community.
Kikiaola completed a subdivision at Waimea , Kauai , in 2005 . A parcel was
subdivided into four lots, which are planned for residential use . Attached as
Exhibit "A" is a map showing the four lots . The eastern lot includes a nearly 100-
year-old Chinese cemetery, which has a traditional entrance off Kaumuali' I
Highway on the north ( Mauka ) side . Enclosed as Exhibit " B" is a map with an
arrow depicting this driveway entrance onto Lot 66 . Unfortunately, during the
subdivision process an error occurred and mistakenly the cemetery was included
as part of the subdivision . This has resulted in a condition in which the traditional
access to the cemetery would be closed and the entrance for the residents of the
four-lot subdivision would have be shared with the users of the cemetery.
As you can imagine , the families which use the cemetery are limited , and the
traditional entrance gets very little access . We have been in contact with as
many of the users of the cemetery as we have been able to find and attach for
your information letters from them asking that the traditional access be
maintained . These letters are attached as Exhibit "C" and have been previously
sent to the State Historic Preservation Division .
With your support, and the support which we have received from the Kauai
branch of the state Department of Transportation , we hope to be able to go back
to the County Planning Commission to ask that the subdivision condition be
modified so that the traditional access for the cemetery can be kept open for
traditional purposes .
NOV 07 2013
Ms . Danita Aiu , Chairperson
October 7, 2014
Page Two
The owners are in the process of applying for a CPR to separate and preserve
the cemetery for its historic and traditional use. This CPR canot realistically
move forward without the provision of the traditional access for the cemetery.
We believe this situation concerns protecting access to a historic property for
traditional and customary uses . Use of the existing driveway has been minimal
over the years; by legalizing the existing access there will be no increase in traffic
onto Kaumualii Highway because the number of users is limited to families
visiting the grave sites.
We are asking for the support of the Kauai Historic Preservation Review
Commission in helping us to resolve this situation . We respectfully request a
communication to the Honolulu office of the state Department of Transportation
addressed to Alvin Takeshita , Highways Administrator, Highways Division , 869
Punchbowl Street, Honolulu , Hawaii 96813 . Mr. Takeshita's e-mail is
Alvin . Takeshitaa. hawaii . gov . We would be grateful for any assistance you can
provide in resolving this situation .
If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to call me at the number above ,
or Michael Faye, Kikiaola board chairman , at ( 808 ) 338- 1900 .
Sincerely yours ,
LAUREL LOO

Aloha Ms, Aiu and Mr. Takeshita;
I am writing concerning the cemetery in which my ancestors are interned. This Chinese cemetery
is nearlyl00 year old and has an entrance off of the adjacent road on the north —mauka side. For
generations we have been paying respect to our ancestors by visiting their graves on special
occasions, using the traditional access which has been in place from the begining,
As there are very few of us left, there is minimal traffic to the cemetery , We understand that the
traditional access for the cemetery may be blocked off, forcing us to enter through a subdivision
that is in the process of being developed,
Having to enter through a subdivision is very distressing to us and would make us very
uncomfortable. We urge you to consider helping us by preserving the historic and traditional
access for us and the next generations which is highly reflective of our culture and the plantation
era.
The owners are in the process of applying for a CPR to separate and preserve the Chinese
Cemetery for its historic and traditional use. We support the CPR but the CPR cannot
realistically move forward without the provision of the traditional access for the cemetery. We

is nearly 100 year old and has an entrance off of thq adjacent road on the north —mauka side . For
generations we have been paying respect to our ancestors by visiting their graves on special
occasions, using the traditional access which has been in place from the beginning.
As there are very few of us left, there is minimal traffic to the cemetery. We understand that the
traditional access for the cemetery may be blocked off, forcing us to enter through a subdivision
that is in the process of being developed.
Having to enter through a subdivision is very distressing to Lis and would make us very
uncomfortable. We urge you to consider helping us by preserving the historic and traditional
access for us and the next generations which is highly reflective of our culture and the plantation
era.
The owners are in the process of applying for a CPR to separate and preserve the Chinese
Cemetery for its historic and traditional use. We support the CPR but the CPR eanilot
realistically move forward without the provision of the traditional access for the cemetery . We
believe that this situation concerns protecting access to a historic property for traditional and
customary use. We will be grateful for any assistance you can provide in resolving this difficult
situation.
Sincerely,
