Ms. Gliffin: Then let's 9 o an to Part. D,, New Business, D.1. is a letter from Ronald Sato, from
HHF Planners, regarding the Environmental Reviews for Federally- Subsidized Public Housi.ng
Projects Statewide. This is part of the Section 106 consultation. Their preliminary finding, you
will have read, was that there is no adverse effect; not because these aren't quite fifty (50) years
old because they will be in another free (5) months essentially. But on Page 3 of the letter, they
state that Fung Associates has shown that there have been enough changes so that they don't have
historical integrity at this paint.
Are there any comments that you want to bring up for us to give a response to HHF? Has anybody
been able to see any of these project sites?
Ms. Schneider: Na.
Ms.
Griffin:
I'm wondering if we can ask HHF for rung's response
on where Fund

felt
the loss
of integrity had occurred and what has happened. I think
that would help
all of us to

see what these character defining aspects of properties in general are of this era.

Ms. Griffin,* Sure.

The letter from Kl'ml' Yuen, Senior Associate, of PBR Hawaii and
'RC of the draft Environmental Impact Statement for Hd'ena State Park
I need to say that I have to recuse from any statements on this because I work :for
Ms. Griffin: Thank you,
Please coxxae up, and if you could introduce yourself for our hardworking transcriber.
Kimi Yuen: Aloha, Conunission Chair Griffm and fellow Commissioners. Thank youfor having
us today. My name is Kimi Yuen from PBR Hawaii and Associates. With me Today is Alan
Carpenter, State Parks Archaeologist. Actually I was going to ask, before we get started, we have
a slideshow presentation to give you an overview of the project. T also have large prints of the
maps that if maybe Kaaina can help us put up, I can use it in my presentation.
Thank you again, for having us. I'll jump in while they get that up, I don't think the be�41ming
slides are anything ground - breaking or earth-shattering.
Just an overview of our presentation, we will go over the meeting purpose, what we are presenting
today, project background, the planning process and EIS process that we're doing through right
now, and then answer any questions that you may have for us.
So just briefly, again, we're here to provide an overview of the dram: Hd'ena State Park Master
Plan. We imtially came before this body in 2008 when we kicked this project off. I would just
like to say that it's been a long process, but I think it's been very meaningful and we've had very
good conversations. x'11 have a list up -later about an advisory committee of community members,
kupuna, local families that have been involved, including business and other community leaders.
It's an extensive list of folks that have been involved,, and participation has been great. I feel like
the plan has come to a state where everybody is comfortable with it, and so we've moved forward
with the EIS process. We are also going to follow -up on the pre-consultation col-n.ments this body
had for us back in 2008, and thin again, to answer any questions you may have on the process and
the EIS moving forward.
I

Just some brief information. I'm sure all of'you are familiar with Hd'ena State Park, It's the State
Park that is located at Ke'e, on the north shore. It is at the end of the State Highway and comprises
of X5.7 acres. The majority of the site is State land, but the County does ovm a small outparcel. of
0.68 acres where Ida Ulu A Paoa Heiau and Ke Ahu A. Laka are located. The State primarily used
Federal Land and Water Conservation Funds to acquire the property in 1977. What that means is
that as the State moves forward and some of the management issues that have come up, they will
still be required to abide by certain regulations and guidelines. It impacts things like entrance fees
and that sort of thing, so there's a certain set of rules to the Federal Land and mater
Conservation Funds that State Parks will have to abide by moving forward. light now, the main
reason we're here is that there's currently no adopted State Master Plan for the park or an accepted-
EIS, and State Parks basically needs that to move forward with any kind of major capital
improvements at the park, which I think all o1`us know the pack could definitely use some care and
atiention.
Just briefly highlighting some of the significant sites at the park. Of course, there's the hei'au again
and the hula platform. Lohi'au's house platform is also located at the State park, and an extensive
agricultural complex containing lo'l' and `auwai, as well as a couple of loko that may have been,
or thought to have been, agriculturally used, too. You have the two (2) wet caves; Wai a Kanaloa
and Waikapala`e. Ke'E Beach and Lagoon, which i's a very popular visitor destination with roughly
three hundred (30Q) people on the beach at any one time. Na Pali o Makana, which is a prominent
peak that you can see from portions of the park, and then, of course, the trailhead to Kalalau Trail
and the Ndpali Coast State. Wilderness Park.. Much of the park is included in the Hd'ena
Archaeological Complex, whzch is a registered historic place an both the State and National
Registers. It was placed there in 1984. The Ndvali Coast Archaeological District isprimarily the
area mauka
1984.
Regist
of the highway, and that, too, was placed on both the State and National Registers in
The highway itself; the north shore section of the Kauai Belt Road v��as put on the National
er in 20046
Here's a picture of the existing site. You can see the extensive lo `i 1 complex on the eastern portion
of the State Park. The existing unpaved parking lot is here. The State highway runs along this
edge at the base of the pall, and terminates at Ke'e Beach. The hei"au is located here and this is
where the County property is located; the 0.68 acres. So you can see that it's actually landlocked
within the State property. The two (2) loko are roughly in these areas. The site is heavily
overgrown, but it used to be cleared, open, if you can imagine, expanse of coastal dunes along the
shoreline. The two (2) loko were not covered over like they are currently, and of course the
agricultural complex was actively farmed until the 1960's.
Alan, feel zee to jump in if there's an.��thmg.
So the `auwai are these little dotted lines that you see running throughout the lo'i-. Back in 2008
when we were here, actually it was just me that was here before you seeking any input or thoughts
that this body had as we kicked off the project. There were basically six (6) main issues that were
brought up, and one was the National. and State Registers, which 7 j ust went over earlier that much
of the site i's actually already on both registers. A comment came up about the relationship of
proposed trails to the cultural resources and the cultural practices that occur at thepark-, Fishing

zones, an interpretive p maintenance and
management of the
overlapping State
and
County
jurisdictions, and then mapping of buffers of
specific resource
preserves within
the
overall
complex.
I'lI let Alan
talk about this
slide, but basically we asked Alan because State
Parks has
archaeologists
on staff, they did
the archaeological overview, survey, and mapping for
us. This is
one of the graphics in both the Master Plan and the EIS.
Alan Carpenter: Alright, thank you Kiml, Thar1c, you, Commissioners , for having me here today.
Sothis essentially is an outline of the park property. As K*rni mentioned, as most of you probably
know, Hd'ena 1s an extremely important historical place; a very storied place associated With
import persons and legends, and that manifests itself on the g i� terms of physical remnants.
When I was asked to put this map together to- sort of outline where the significant resources are,
you can see that each of the colors represent a different site type. Effectively, the entire park is
covered by sensitive archaeological sites. Most notably in the dank green, in the white outlines are
the actual mapped lo'i bank walls; that's a very large and extensive irrigated agricultural system
of lo'l. As Kimi mentioned, it was farmed up until the 1960's and has more recently since the
1990's been revitalized by the Hui Maka'affia o Makana,, a curated group we have out there, and
theyhaNle I again, begun plantincyand restoring a section of the lo'isystem. And that's a prominent
pars of the park landscape today.
The two (2) loko; Loko Naia, Loko KZ'e. Loko Ke-"6 stir functions somewhat as a pond. It has
standing water at most t though it is infilled. Loko Naia is dry, It no longer has a pond
element to it., but it was there historically; most likely a combination of a lo 1 and a fishpond.
The yellow areas are the beach dune system. That area is noted of course as an area where people
were buried. There have been a number of burials that have came up to natural reasons and one,
due to park development in the last few decades.
a
There are historic cemeteries as well. They are
hard to see, but tight here is one (1) with historic grave stones and right here is another one (1) that
may or may not be.. It appears to have grave markers, but we're not 100% sure. But the entire
dune is considered sensitive as a potential area of burials. So we consider that as one (J.) of the
more sensitive places. It has conflicting uses because that's also the shoreline where most people
want to go and visit. The yellow areas on the mauka side of the road are legendary sites. The wet
caves, Wal' a Kanaloa and Waikapala'e, are these two (2) areas here. This is Lohi'au's house site,
which is a very large platform with unique architecture. A pretty stunning feature, but again, kind
of hidden away in the bushes.
Ms. Santos entered the meeting at 3;20 p,m.
The area in blue, chat's mostly the highway, but also at the end of the road, this is the historic
Allerton house complex and gardens. Ii's actually quite modified. It had two (2) homes;
previously owned by Francis Ti Brown, Y believe, who may have built the homes. One (1) of
them burnt down around 1990. We still have the Caretaker's Cottage, which is a 1920's structure.
We hope to restore that as part of the park landscape and also adaptively reuse it for park purposes.

And the last area to
discuss
is. ..I'm
sorry, thisis

other blue one. This is another historic homestead
The area in red is effectively all the area that has modern disturbance, so that is essentially the only
disturbed areas, and that really shows how constrained we are with being able to do any kind of
park developments without disturbing historic features. So the main area where the current parking
lot is, this is gains to be the focus of all future development. This area here represents disturbance
from the Taylor Camp days in the 1960's, but there are still remnants of the locir despise that,
disturbance. This is simply a road that accessed another historic house which is still there; the
.Montgomery House, again, built in the 193 0's, and another one that we intend to hopefully restore
and presen7e. This is the area most recently developed by State Parks in the 1970"'S. That did
impact some subsurface cultural f mostly habitational. features, but also one (1) burial. In
a nutshell, this is a very challenging glace to propose development and manage hordes of people.
Ms. Yuen,-- : Just to add to Alan's wonderful overview, this central area is right in the middle of
where the T4ui �s actually ... this is the area that they've restored and are currently farming. but this
area, Alan if you can correct me, they would not restore this as lo"i because there were a lot of
abandoned cars, and iti*ust would not do well as restored lo' iv, So that's why this small area of the
1o'i is called out as "red" because they wouldn't ever restore it.
Mr. Carpenter; Yes exactly. Due to the nature of izrigaied agriculture and pond fields, especially
for kalo, if you fill those with water to cultivate, down below the surface there is a lot of glass and
metal and other things it that are extremely difficult to remove, so that will probably remain as
some kind of use area or perhaps dryland, but it's not going to be restored as far as a lo'i system.
Ms. Yuen:. So this is a list of our Community Advisory Committee members.
Mr. Carpenter: Which you've seen four (4) to five (5) times already._ (Laughter in background)
Ms. Yuen: Like I had mentioned earlier, �t includes a wide variety of kupuna and Ha ` ena `Ohara
members. We have cultural practitioners, such as Kumu Hula Kehaulani Kekua, on our advisory
committee, as well as many of the local businesses and community leaders an the north shore
involved in the process. We can leave a copy of this for you folks. This is also in our Masser Plan
Report as Appendix A. Y think some of their titles .night actually be outdated since it's been such
a long process; we probably have to add like two {2} or three {3) for some of them.
So
this is the view of the current draft
Master Plan. again, we brought larger prints
that are up on
the
board. So I'll just kind of go over
a lot of the highlights
of the plan. Maybe rt'll
help if I can
walk up to the printed one and point as I.. .
A to give you some orientation, of course, the shoreline is on the top side of the image. The
1P
pals is on the bottom of the image. The highway running at the base of the Pali-,, the heiau, So the
thought is that traffic and access will come from the highway primarily. At the main
enirance...beeause this is teclinj e lly the end of the highway, we included a turnaround so that
cars that aren't actually going to the park, but actually want to drive to the end of the road can do
August 6, 2015 X_iPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 9
that without backing up traffic as it currently happens. We divert the traffic into a parking lot, and
I'll explain in a little bit why its bent in this fashion, but the main reason is that as we had go along
in the plan and id's probably a big reason vvh� our finalization of the draft Master Plan got delayed
a bit, was that Stake Parks and DLNR had undergone a Rockfall Hazard Study for this stretch and
found that actually the highway lies in a pretty significant rockfall hazard zone. So what that ended
up doing was we had to reconfigure this entry portion of the Master Plan because we were suiting
some of the main visitor facilities right within that zone. Y have a map coming up and it's actually
on this, but we'll show the different rockfall hazards. But on this plan, it's the little dotted line.
What we did was locate all of the visitor facilities outside of that, and this is a modeled rockfall
hazard, kind of, predictor of where the rocks are likely to fall. So this was the point of 0% change
of rockfalls, so we tried to locate everything outside of that and outside of that rockfall zone. The
advisory committee actually came up vvil:h that concept. What that does is, the highway no longer
becomes the main access for -people to get to Ke`e Beach, We are recommending an elevated
boardwalk that actually goes over the lo'i and cuts up towards This hau thicket, and then out to
Ke'e Beach that way to gel them out of the rockfall hazard zone. The highway, we've tallied to
State DOT and they are perfectly happy turning it over to State Parks to maintain, but the process
for that has not quite been done. The reason for that is that we want to basically limit the amount
of traffic that is falling i-n this area, So what this becomes then is a special access or very limited
access roadway. We have a small thirteen (13) stall parking lot at the end of it that we'll maintain,
including two (2) ADA stall.s. So that would be the primary access for the ADA access to the
beach, as well as for cultural practitioners and any 16nd of ha"flau groups that may be going to the
hel"au; that becomes their special access to get There. I think we're also talking about fishermen
and fisherwomen; they will be able to still use that as a special access. For the most park, the main
bulk of your visitor traffic will be diverted to the main parking lot here. We sized it in this plan to
be one hundred (100) stalls, which is what was shown in a previous Master Flan that State 'arks
had developed with a different consultant:, back in the 94's. That plan and draft EIS was never
finalized, so we came in back in 2008 to try to finish out. Basically, the. base of this plan was
based off of what was termed a community preferred master plan, but there were issues that people
were still uncomfortable with, such as actually that plan had dispersed visitors all along the coast
line, thinking that would minimize impacts, as apposed to being concentrated in one (1) place. But
that concept you know, this is not exactly the safest place to swim, you don't have any lifeguards,
so that idea got taken off the table. They had actually located picnic tables along the coastal dune,
which we didn't think was appropriate, so that is all gone. Now we are proposing restoration of
the coastal dune., The advisory conlmittee had made a good point that not only would they be
taking care of .the environment, but they would also betaking care of the kupuna that are there.
The previous plan had bike paths where the `auwai was throughout the complex; we took that out.
Really what we're doing is Trying to focus the visitor traffic to the morn entry parking lot. We
haveavisitor, kind of, welcome center richt at the entry point, so we are focusing the visitor traffic
wrong the elevated and it would have rails along this boardwalk to the hau thicket, and then from
there a path directing folks to the beach. what this does is it provides a view, actually, of the lo'l*
that currently people don't get to experience, and it also opens up views of makana, which is. * 0 1
don't think. it's up here, but it's the pear is on this side, so there's a little viewing platform here
that they could actually see makana now, where they can't see it from the highway, It helps bring
out opportunities to interpret the sites that currently may not exist.

We worked really closely with the Hui that is restoring the lo'i. The discussion points were that
because this section of the lo'i is at the base of the pall, it actually is some of the least product'
ve
areas of the lo'i. The concept is to then, you know, maybe this becomes places where visitors can
actually experience lo'i firsthand; maybe they get in there themselves and can have hands -on bind
of experiences within the park. The Hui would actually stars to work on the later phases. Phase I
actually continues here. These phase numbers relate to a restoration plan that Alan had worked
on, I'm not sure how long ago, but the idea is to basically, eventually restore all of the lo'i at the
park. what that does is allow the Hui to continue Their work on the later phases of the restoration,
but then also open up opportunities where visitors to the park can experience it as well.
. This entire portion that is dashed out around the heiau, we've designated as a hula complex. That
in and of itself would require its own, km"d of, planning, probably an advisory committee to decide
what and how that is, but the idea is that this becomes a place for hula practitioners.
I n this middle park, we have what we've called a cultural gathering place where we would be
proposing an open hale style learning center; HWau Wa'a, for canoes since it's right along one of
the bigger `auwai that goes out into the channel, If you can see these little dotted lines throughout
the lo V i, those would bell mted to pedestrians only, and then things like guided tours might be able
to access and have a connection back to the main visitor center there. #
We've left the historic cemeteries as is and kept this historic road; that's what you see here dashed
out. We haven't done anything to the comfort station and constructed wetlands that are currently
there and completed, but the thought was because this is such a sensitive site, at the entry point we
would be providing a second set of comfort stations. Hopefully -kvhat that does is it minimizes the
use that actually happens out there because people would be using this as well, so the amount of
runoff occurring at Ke'e would be lessened.
This little structure here is a caretaker's cottage that was envisioned in the previous Masser. Plan
and a 24 -hour presence; somebody actually hired by State Parks to oversee the park twenty -four
{24} hours a day was a recommendation from that plan that's carried over to the current plan.
You'll see things like this little dashed box. The Montgomery House is another one, but those are
archaeological or historic sites recommended for restoration.
At the turnaround,, we've identified if as a potential shu1:1:1e stop as well, and I'll go over some of
the transportation plans and alternatives that came up through the meetings as well. For the most
part, the primary focus becomes restoration and protection of the natural cultural historic resources
throughout the Bark. The parking lot, actually Alan, if you could advance the slide, we're showing
another plan of the entry area. If you can see, the turnaround is very similar, the Barking layout is
the same. There's a much more modest welcome pavilion at the park entry, and Then the boardwalk
carried over. But the concept here is to start small because State funding can be quite tight, and
so State Parks asked us to come up with a near-teTM plan that could be, maybe you know, take a
smaller bite of the bignut of thefull Master Phan and what could be done to implement some of
the concepts, such as the visitor limit which I'll go into a little bit as well. Graphically,'we tried
to show that one (1) of the main concepts of getting people to the park talked about a remote entry
at Princeville. Putting a lot of the parking outside of the Bark.
August 6, 2015 KJ -IPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 11
Ms. Schneiders., Can I ask. where that's going to take place in Princeville?
Ms. Yuen: Where? Y mean there are a few sites we ideniiiied in a Transportation Plan that's in
our Master Plan.
Ms. Schneider: Because There's no parking m PrinceO'lle now.
Ms. Yuen: Right, right, exactly. But there is a site, there is a landowner that has offered up a site
so there's a community group that is working on that. It's one of those things that we'll need a lot
of funding. It might require County, State, and Federai entities to partner on that, but there is. a
site that's identified in Princeville. It's a potenfial site that would hold probably 200 -304 parking
stalls, I thinki"s what they estimated at. In any case, what we're showing here at least, if there was
parking to be can -site, there's a roughly one hundred (100) stall parking lat.
The major management recommendation that came out of the group was to limit the visitors in the
first place. You've got over 2,00a people coming at the peak on days-6 just one (t) day alone; 2,a00
pe OPI e coming to this park and it's just too much. Back in '93, the estimate of visitors, I think
when you first started that earlier round of master pl=ing efforts, it was only 350 people a day.
So you can see, over a very short period of time, the number of visitors that are conning to Ha-'ena
State Park is quite significant. The firsti'ssue would be to reduce the number of visitors that come
to the park on a daily basis; that would include doing on the Kalalau Trail. But the idea is
that you would have a flexibly sized parking lot, depending on what kind of transportation
alternatives could het worked out. The County has been working on a north share shuttle that
they've been trying to get off the ground as well.
Ms. Schneider: "c'hat's already failed.
Ms. Yuen: Well, yeah Y mean, the entity is still there, but I don't think the energy and the interest
has yet, so I don't want to give up on that either. I thick it's still a potential and r know the County
is planning to do a study on a north shore and south share shuttle. We're kind of keeping those
options loose at this point, but the idea is That we won't overbuild a parking lot if some of these
other solutions can word. If it doesn't, at least State Parks has in their Master Plan, a one hundred
(100) shall parking lot identified. The preference was to pave it with a permeable surface, which
is why it's colored the way it is. Initially, it could start off with Phase T that lighter tan area, and
you could keep the past in green as kind of an open lawn or grand lawn that you could have events
or hold educational events or even community events in this space.
You have a more modest welcome pavilion, but again, the boardwalk would be an integral part of
ft
rupleruenting this near --term plan.
If you look near the highway, you'll see a red line and a green line. Again, those are the rockfall
hazard zones. The red line was where a 5 °lo chance of a rockfall event might happen, and the green
line is the 0 % chance. Everybody just decided that rather than try to come up with some
engineering solutions along the cliff; the advisory committee's priority
was to preserve the cliff
0
August 6, 201.5 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 12
and not impact the cliff with any kind of engineered solution, let's just move everybody outside
of that zone. Even members of the Hui felt that that was a better way to go.
Again, to go over some of the key management recommendations that came out of the plan as
weld, these four {4} were seen as critical to being implemented no matter what the park ends up
doing. I think when they are looking at Transportation, entry fees, all that kind of stuff, that's s1:i11
up for debate, but these were the four (4) that everyone agreed needs to happen, regardless of what
other management decisions are made. The first one is to create a cultural advisory group and a
broader community advisory group. It would be something similar to the advisory group that we
had. for the Master Plan effort. I think we would open it up to them to participate as well, but that's
not to say that they will be the ones on this community advisory group. The cultural advisory
group would be much more specific and require people with. actual expertise in the different
cultural, you know, there's fishing, there's hula, there's agriculture, that sorb of thug, so very
specific cultural advisor for State Park. The second item, again, is the initial daily visitor limit of
nine
on th
hundred (900) people per day; that would include everybody going to the park or day bikers
e Kalalau Trail. This does not include the sixty (60} campmL-y permits for the overnight further
down an the Kalalau Trail, it would not include the thirty (30) hunter permits. that are allowed, it
would not include cultural practitioners, it would mot include any kind of specYal hdlau or lo'iwork
groups, school or educational groups, fishe en, or the cemetery caretakers. The discussion was
to see wbat the impact would be over time; let's set a number at this outset and see what theimpacts
are to the park. I f it continues to be a problem, they could adjust it down, as well as if it seems
like there might be an ability to increase it that is still on the table as well. The idea is to at least
set an initial. daily visitor limit, which is less than the current number, but again, it is still higher
than what was happening in the early 90's. But the idea is to see what the impacts would be tothe
park.
Mr. Helder: Would local residents have to apply for a permit to go?
Ms. 'Yuen:
No, you wouldn't apply for a permit, but you
would
have to, basically, plan your trips.
There will
be tickets, and whether they charge a fee for it
or not,
and whether residents gel charged
or not, I think that's still open.
1l/1r. CgVenter: Actually, we've already gone Qut to the community, so residents are not going to
pay entry or parking fees under a previously vetted. agreement between us when we went out for
fees statewide a couple of years ago. We're actually in the process of codifying our existing and
proposed fees in our administrative rules; that's going to happen, actually, m the next couple of
weeks. So any :Fee will apply to out-of-state visitors, but not to locals. But if we set a-limit, there
has to be a way to have a control point or a system for adhering to thatlimit.
Mr. Helder: So if you lived in Wainiha, for instance, and you wanted to drive out there.
Mx. Carpenter: Yes., that's one of the challenges and there are other things that could comp into
play. for example, the pea. times, you may limit the peak times,, but guys who need to go out and
fish early in the morning or people who want to go at night when there's really not a capacity issue,
everyone is already gone, those may be totally open and available. At leant that's one (1) of the
August 6, 2015 K1-2RC Me eti�ig Minutes
Page 13
things that I think would be imperative to the local community because you can't plan the nice
days or the dais when the ak:uZe are there, that kind of thing right, so it will be a challenge. There
was an overwhelming desire by the advisory committee to set a limit,, essentially because visztor
experience is being impacted and particularly, Local visitor experience is being 'impacted by the
absolute crush of people heading to the end of the road.
Mr. Helder.* I understand that but when you live out There that makes up a large portion of where
you have to go. You're basically limiting accessibility for people that live there.
Ms. Hoomanawanui: That's true.
Mr. Helder: That's a problem.
Ms. Hoomanawanuio, You're right.
Mr. Helder: That constitutes a takm*g, rea�.l�, of what: we have out there.
Mr. Carpenter: If you're fishing or you're practising culture, you're not beholding to these limits.
So that may be a challenge to prove or I mean, you figure, just considering how it would actually
operate. It's probably going to be a bunch of people familiar with the area and locals or a
community group, possibly even, running this under some kind of agreement, They are doing to
knew the difference between someone from Minnesota and someone from Wainiha.
Ms. Schneider: I think that's part of the problem here now. The beaches, everyplace is so crowded
that there's no place for the local people to go anymore.
Nit. Helder,-,& Yeah, and it's what it sounds like, it's another.. .
Ms. Schneider: And we keep catering to the tourist experience, rather than to the local experience.
Nir. Helder: Yeah.
Administrator Ja
presentation and th
Furfaro: Excuse me, Madan chair. May I recommend that you finish the
en go into a recognized Q &A afterwards?
Ms. Griffin: Thank you.
Mir. Carpenten. okay, thanks.
Mr. Yuen:. The third key management recommendation vas to requi.xe a visitor orientation prior
toparkentry, That is simply to educate anyone who cones to the park about the sensitive natural
and cultural resources there. Especially if you are a local resident, you would only have to do it
once, and after that you would be cleared of having to do if main. So there's ditferent types of
ways to Implement that, but the idea is that, you know, because of the conditions That can turn on
a dime in this environment, it's *imperative that anyone who goes there knows the potential range
August 6s 2015 KI-IPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 14
of hazards that are out there and be aware of them. It could also include things like daily weather
reports; whether there's potential flash flood warrrings or that kind of thing. Basically the idea is
to help educate anyone who goes out there because it's not only the tourist,, but there may be Kauai
folks that aren't familiar with the conditions out there, too, that may require some education. And
then the fourth one is to require Staff and Volunteer education since they are at the front lines of
any kind of visitor interaction; whether they are local or out -of- state.
To dust quickly go back over the issues that were raised by this body back. in 2008, we did go over
the National and State Registers. Alain, the relationship with the trails to cultural resources and
practices, the idea is to Focus visitor traffic on that boardwalk and get them safely to Ke-'e--' outside
of that rockfall hazard zone and open up the views of the lo'i and rnakana. And again, it will not
preclude cultural practitioners' access to the sites because we will have the highway remain as that
limited access corridor. Even the hunters, we were talking about being abbe to park at the parking
lot at Ke-'e-, dishing zones, the Master Plan basically defers to the Hd'ena Community -Based
Subsistence Fishing Area rules that were just adopted by the Board of Land and Natural Resources
in October of 201.4 and recently signed by the Govetnor; I think that was just Tuesday. So rather
than having an overlapping set of rules or concepts, the group just decided to defer to those area
rules that are now signed into law. Interpretive program. The entire Chapter 5 of our Masser Plan
report does over a proposed interpretive program. And with Victoria W'Ichman now on staff as an
Interpretive Specialist here on K i. that would probably fall under her purview for
implementation. Maintenance and management of the overlapping State and County jurisdictions.
Ii had gone back and forthin a lot of different discussion and concepts, but currently, the County
actually has a stewardship aareernent with the Hui* to manage that site. I don't know if Alan wants
to elaborate on any of that.
Mr. carpenter: Actually, they have two (2) agreements. The Hui has an agreement For the lo'i,
and they more .recently have an agreement, since we started this process and you ask actually, the
County has started their own program with the great support of the Mayor and they have, haw
many? Three (3 )? Or just two (2)?
Ms. Wichman: What? (Inaudible) agreements?
Mr. Carpenter: (Inaudible) agreements under the bounty.
IVs. 'Wickman: Right now, officially, one (1).
Mr. Carpenter: Just one (1)?
Ms. Wichmans., Yes.
Mr. Car-renter: Plus this one?
Ms. Wickman: Y they are working on this one. K aneiolourna is the first one.
Mr. Carpenter: Right.
August 6,201S KEPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 15
Ms. Yuen
This one actually hasn't been signed.
Ms. Wickman: I really couldn't answer that. Y don't know.
Administrator Ftufaro., V This one hasn't been executed yet.
Mr. Carpenter: It has not yet? Okay, so still in the works.
Mr. Yuen: But that's what the County...
Administrator Furfaro: That's No. 2.
Mr. Carpenter: Thai's No. 2, alright. The last one
preserves in the overall complex, that is included
the mapping and buffers of specific resource
in the plan, but'l just want to add ftom my
perspective. The issue of buffers around archaeological sites is a development driven rule within
the Chapter 6E, Historic Preservation Law. Y prefer to flip that back to the opposite where what
we like to do within parks is preserve everything, and instead our buffers should constrain the
amount of construction that goes on, so that in fact we puff a buffer around -where construction
activities can occur, everything outside of it is actually preserved. But the buffers,, in this case,
will be barriers to roadways, trails, vegetation, and things like that. it's not the same concept as
you see when someone develops a hotel complex and they put buffers around the burial sites and
the heiau because that's all they are required to preserve. We try to preserve everything, so we're
kind of doing the opposite.
Ms. Yuen: So if you remember the map that Alan had shown where we had those' red areas of
disturbed areas, we really tried to keep anything we are proposing to those disturbed areas that
could never really be restored.
Quick ly, the EIS process, and I think some of you maybe familiar with this, but an Envi.ronmenfial
Impact Statement is a significantly more intense document than a standard Environmental
Assessment. Really, with this protect, there are so many triggers that we Just decided that an ETS
is probably more appropriate for this project because besides the use of State and County lands,
you have area within a shoreline, historic sites, it's a conservation district, and there's actually an
existing helicopter facility within a conservation district, shoreline area, and registered historic site
that we are actually reloeating, just a tad, in the plan. from its existing site. Again, the EIS is not
the actual permit. State Parks will stitt have to come back for their actual development permits,
should they move forward on any of the construction projects, and this is Just a list of them. I
won't go over them in any detail, but again, the EIS is the disclosure document and where potential
impacts are vetted and mitigation is proposed as part of what is being proposed in the Master Plan..
So when they actually implement it, a lot of the mitigation concepts that come out that are brought
up by community members and the public are rolled into the EIS. With that document, State Parks
now has a good basis to really make sure that when they do move forward with implementation,
they are taking into consideration all of these mitigation. measures.
August 6, 2015 K-IPRC Meeting Muiutes
Page 16
This is just a quick overview of the EIS process. The EIS prep notice was completed back in
February and March of this year. We are currently in the draft EIS stage with the public review
and comment period open right now. It closes on September gth. After that, we Will move forward
with revising the EIS and incorporating all of the comments that are received. Then., the final EIS
is accepted by the Governor, unless he so decides to delegate that authority.
So if you had a chance to look at our document, this is just a kind of quick overview of the
organization of the document itself If you decide to delve deeply into it, or if you don't have the
time to really delve deeply into it, the first two (2) sections, the project overview and section I.
include the Master Plan summary, as well as the summary of all of the impacts that are discussed
in the later chapters. chapter 3 is a description and more detailed assessment of the potential
impacts and mitigation measures to the natural environment. Chapter 4 is those impacts to the
human environment. Section 5 is conformance with the regulatory laws and guidelines and
policies. Section 6 describes the alternatives we looked at as we went through this process. (7) is
the contextual issues, and much of this is the requirements of doing an EIS document, so it gets
more technical as you het further into "It. The 8th is just the list of agencies and individuals we
consulted with. (9) is the list of preparers, references. And then the actual comment letters we
received during the pre - consultation period and the EIS prep notice period are actually attached in
the last two (2) chapters with our responses to those written comments..
So j ust a quick overview, we've distributed the ch%aft EIS to quite a few public agencies, as well as
individuals and community groups. Copies were also provided to the media and the public
libraries, including Princeville Library, the Li hu' e Regional Library, and Kauai CC .Library.
Technic al studies that were done for the EIS are also attached as appendixes, which is why the
document gets really long and voluminous, but these are attached as appendices to the draft EIS.
And then the rernainmg project timeline. We're hoping to get through the draft EIS with the
September S' comment period deadline, revise it, and submit to the Governor and OEQC for
review by October. Then, it actually goes to the Board of Land and Natural Resources for their
review of the final EIS,, and then again, it has to go back to the Governor for final acceptance, and
then OEQC actually publishes it. After that, we will be finalizing the Master Plan itself, which
would also require Board of Land and Natural Resources approval.
'W'ith that do you have any questions for us?
Administrator Furfaro-, Madam Chair, before you open the questions to the members, may I have
a moment as I'm1eaving to go to visit with the Mayor for another rneeti.ng?
Ms. Griffin: Of course you may.
Administrator-Fur'flaro: Thank you. First of all, I'm delighted to see the presentation, but I wanted
to oust give some clarify here. an the Princeville shuttle bus, that issue is not dead. r do want you
to knew the Mayor launched a new committee of which George Costa and myself both dot anointed
to be on the committee, probably because of our visitor industry experience. So we've launched
the original meeting with the resort operations at the Princeville site. And Lee from Planning and

reestablished; just for general information.
I also want to say that our committee is also looking at options with landovvnefs for the acquisition
of property, We're been in touch with bosh the Federal and the State offices. That is in reference
to your comments about the alternative parking location up on the north shore, That's being
coordinated with the fact that we're still crying to get information as to what will happen with the
Kilauea Lighthouse and those visitor centers, so there are things going on. 'what we're hoping to
hear from the Plwmers also is there is a component of this land that's missing, and obviously they
touched on it, on the financial aspect; fees and costs associated with general operation,
stewardship, and so forth. So I just wanted to give you that piece of information, so that
chairwoman, you knew that (inaudible) going on along that way. And again, to remind you that
your task is really to focus on the historical aspects of the plan and that stewardship. I'm sorry I
have to leave, but thank you.
Ms. Griffin, That's alright, and thank ou. y And it's good to get an overview of the trans portation,
but I did want to remind this Committee (sic) that our kuleana is the historic preservation aspect.
So transportation, who the Caretaker is going to be, where the engineering is, is outside our
punliew,, unless it relates directly to historic preservation, What I'm going to do is ask you all to
have questions, if you do, to Ms. Yuen or Mr. Carpenter. Then, I'm going to open it if there's
public comment, and then we'll have further discussion, and make a decision on how to proceed.
Thank you, again.
Mr. Fufaro. Again., I want to apologize for
interrupting,
but the
discussion without a

to record the

so that's an apology
from me
for reminding. It's better to have speakers recognized when Q &A is proposed.

because the limit has been reached of tourists, it means that my access to that park is restricted
because you've promoted the use of tourists over the people that have been here and have
traditionally been able to go out there, and practice whatever it is that they want to practice, in
preference to Tourism. So 7 understand; I live near there. It's a place that I go regularly and under
the plan that you've just described, I would not be able to. There would be no spontaneity in what
I would want to do as a resident here. And that representing from where I live, that represents
probably 25 % of what's available to me near where I live. So wl-iat I am really seeing here is it
constitutes a preference by the Slate Parks system, under which you've designed .ere, for
accepting Tourism at the expense of the residents of Hawaii and Kaua`i, right here in particular. 7
don't final that acceptable, to tell you the honest truth. 1 don't know what you want from this
particular body, an acknowledgement so That you can go forward and check this off, but I don't
agree with what I see.
Mr. Center: �I�ay. I appreciate that. If I may, it' certais nly not the intent to Limit any local or
culturai access of thus. I'll back up and say that this plan represents a tremendous collaboration
between the State and the community, particularly as expressed through the community advisory
group, and both the limits on the number of people and the Limits on parking were not anything
proposed by our side. Those came 100% from the local community. In fact, we had many Ions
discussions and debates., and I think we would have been very disingenuous
If the
community to dive their input and then ignore it. This isn't completely vetted yet, nor is the
solution as to how to implement it clear, but we gave the community their say and we accepted
their recommendations, and That became embedded in this plan. The bid public meeting where it
goes out to everybody else is corning up, and that's going to be a time when I'm sure we are going
to heax plenty, but I think the public is also doing to hear from those in the community and their
reasons behind the decisions they made to put that in.
Ms.
Griffin: Hang
M.
on because if there
are other
questions, specifically on the presentation, we can
take
them, but Then
I wand to open it to
anybody
in the public who wants
to speak, and then we can
come hack and discuss. So are there other questions?
Ms. Schneider: Could I ask where it is in gelation to the plans for. Koke'e? Is bus going to come
first? Or is Koke'e going to come fast ?' Because you have a master plan for Koke'e.
Mr. Carpenter:
I don's know
which is going to come
first. Depends on where the funding comes
from and
the priorities of the
Division. I can't say for
sure which one is going to come first. They
are bath,
kind of, proceeding

have a whole fat of extra money for either.
Ms. Schneider: I w m ould just like to say, as a business person Hanalei for 25 years that I really
object to this plan.
Ms. Griffin: Okay.
Ms. Yuen,.-
I do
want to add
to Alan's comment
about the visitor Limit. I made the point that
because the
State
acquired the
lands with Federal
monies, I mean, we wrestled with that life can
August 6, 2015) KhPRC Meetu' lg MM* ULe$
Page 19
we het the local guys go unlimited and just limit visitors only to the park? But because it was
acquired with Federal monies, we cannot discriminate somebody who Rives in Hawaii even, much
less somebody from Kaua'i, from somebody who is from the mainland. So that is something we
are wrestling with in figuring out how to implement this visitor limit, but the idea was that this
would just be a first cut, we would let local practitioners continue to use the park, and see what
happens then. I don't think we've defined it necessarily, and that may have been on purpose that
we weren't overly specific about who can go, who cannot, but the idea was that we are trying to
keep it loose enough to respect the local community that still. wants to go, and like Alan said,
maybe in the mornings and evenings there's no visitor limit; it's only from the peak hours that that
number counter starts. But there are a lot of different ways that State Parks can actually implement
this and that's why it's a management strategy. It's not something that's set in stone. It's
something State Parks can adjust if it's not working. If the local community says life after a
monih, I still cannot get to the park, this is not working, and State Parks takes a look, well the
Environment, the experience at the park has changed with even that initial reduction, you know,
hey maybe that gets adjusted. But the idea is to creatively come up with a way to, I mean, like I
said we cannot discriminate between locals and non - locals, so how can we reduce that but still
respect chose who live in the community who still want to go to the park whenever they want
without clearly saying the 900 only applies to out -of -state people or something to that effect. State
Pa.rks has to be very creative on how this gets implemented, but the idea is and like Alan said, the
intent was never to reduce the number of local visitors. In tact, the whole point of why it was
instituted, according to the advisory committee, was that local people don't even go now because
Ws'not someplace they want to go; it's just overrun, they just don't want to be there. So the first
thing that needs to happen is the period of ho'oma'a; let the park rest, let nobody in for a week.
They're talking about just trying to get everything back under control, start at some point, you
know 900 came up because it was* less than half, it seemed like a reasonable number based on
historic counts, and then adjust it from there.. If we're finding out that local residents are being
precluded from using the park, these guys are not going to keep taking thosephone calls, they are
going to make adjustments, and that was the idea. It's a management call, it's something that's
adjustable over time, but the community just felt the park just needed a break; it is just way too
overrun, it's been way boo overrun For way too long, and everybody just...
Mr. Helder: I don't disagree with you, but it sounds like it's de facto become a Federal Park,,
Ms. GrifTim. Is there anybody from the public that wants to speak at all ?
Okay.
Deputy Director Kaaina Hull:
IVs. Griffin.61 Yes, Kaaina.
If I could...
Mr. Hull: Was there somebody that wanted to speak? Sorry.
Ms. GrifEn: No.
August 6, 2015 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Face 20
Mr. Hull: If I could interject here, too. Kimi folks have had a bit of a yeoman's effort. I actually
attended a few of the meetings in the beginning, and they are extremely contentious meetings that
they've held out in Hak"'ena. Essentially, the big issue was moving the visitors away from the
rockfall because they didn't want to have to; essentially, strip away that rock area.
I think this Conm-iission is focusing on what is one (1) of the primary issues of the Park and that's
access, which is not going to fall on deaf ears because that's the big controversy right now going
on with them. lend that's where they will be focusing on for the next several years as they push
through the EIS and they actually push through the permit process. What I would urge this
Commission to realize is that don't let that issue,, necessarily, be your sole focus in the sense that
there is some cultural Practitioner access issues,, as Commissioner Helder is getting into, but there
may be other historical issues at hand that will get lost if you solely focus on his big controversial
side, be it the recognition of the Caretaker's site or the restoration of that cottage in particular or
the historical district that's in that vicinity. You may want to take this to e to address these
historical issues because it's not only the purview of this Commission, that's really where a lot of
the authority and a .lot of the potential changes or where the state, through this EIS process, will
be really listening to what needs to be said about the historical, be it cultural practitioner, be it
structures, be ii archaeological sites. If this Commission misses that opportunity because it's going
to focus on the real controversial issue, which is doing to get a loft of focus and that will probably
be the bulk of thefocus that they have to handle with, but don't let the other historical elements
fall by the wayside in exchange for that. So I kind of urge this Commission to hind of focus on
some of those other issues that might not be as controversial or sexy as access, but it really deserves
as much weight, if not moxe sometilaies.
Ms. Griffin: Thank you. And I do have a question. In the maps in your presentation, you showed
the elevated boardwalk over the lo"i" and I know that some of those walls have been carbon dated
to 1!1000 years. I was wondering if the Hui Maka'aivna o Makana agrees with that route.
Ms. Yuen: That was actually recommended by them.
Ms. Griffin: U
Ms. Yuen:. So, and Akan you should j'wup in, where we've located it, Alan right, there's actually
no stone walls.
Mr. Cgpenter* Right.
Ms. ,Yuen: It's earth berm.
Mr. C az�penter: There are earth berms in between, probably what are older stone walls,, and these
are later additions that subdivided the lo'i. We thought about it, specifically in a way to impact as
little as possible and from an Archaeologist standpoint, which is my background, we have plenty
of places if we need to do more research, but we did a full inventory survey of this prior and
actually our dates were actually 700 years old for this paxticular site, with a later phase about 300
years ago. But we did consider banking that research potential, or whatever, as well for the future,
August 6. 2015 K11PRC Meeting mutes
Page: 21
and this is a route that was as close to the rockfall zone as we could gel: and still be safe. The
boardwalk breaks the continuity of that system a little bit, so you want to have it as close to the
highway or as close to the edge of the lo'l' system as you possibly could so that you have an
unbroken system from there all the way to the ocean. It was definitely considered.
The secondary thing, of course, is
that we hear t hat p eople aren't learning
or appreciating
enough

and the trail. and this is an onbortunity to

we don't really have too much recommended. It's for a fature planning phase that should involve
the hula community.
Ms. Griffin.- Y was impressed with the plan. Y know it was a result of a lot of hard work and a lot
of years and some fault starts. One of the things that Y, and we got this document of l.,0 18 pages
fairly recently, it's been less than 24 hours, so while I've seen parts of it, I haven't seen the whole
thing, but the idea of having a cultural advisory committee sounds really good. But you know and
X know that places life the 1977 L!11u'e Development Plan recommended a community advisory
committee, and I was wondering with our kahu relationship with Kanel"olouma and the
private-public partnerships that are starting, is that the way you see it? Or are you recommending
to reserve a certain amount of funds to have that happen? How is the Master Plan going to assist
making the advisory committees actually happen.?
Ms. Yuen: If you want to read another voluminous docuraent the Master Plan report itself is
attached as a CD because it was just way too much paper to paint, but in the appendix of that, the
advisory committee probably vetted every possible thing on this, so there was a whole meeting set
aside even to discuss that and what that would bc like. NTBG has a similar committee, so they
kind of framed out some existing rues that would be on it, how often they would meet, and that
August 6, 201 S KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page, 22
kind of thing, so that was attached as an appendix as kind of a groundwork for State Parks to look
at and use possibly in doing this. I think the great thing about this project and our current advisory
committee is that there is still a lot of energy. Like they want to see this through and they were
the ones that said hey, what about a broader community advisory group, so I mean the fact that
they would still want to keep on it, and the concept there was that they just meek maybe once a
year with State Parks to see where they're at, implementation. If there's any kind of projects to
come to, I mean State Parks, this is a wonderful resource for State Parks to have, too, because now
they have a body that they can vet things off before they have to go in front of the larger public,
so I think bath ways I mean, it's in State Parks interest to keep that going. 7 don't think this
community will let them not have one, so This is a pretty vocal, active community group. I thinly
State Parks will be hearing from them whether they like it or not, honestly.
Mr. Carpenter: We like it actually.
Ms.
Yuen:
yeah, no 7 think it's been
great, the
relationship
I've
seen it
change and evolve, and I
think it's
a good thing
. And even over the it's been 7 years,
so hopefully it can continue.
Ms. Griffin:
As to the houses and even the orientation center
and ail,
we would
expect as a
body,
the Historic
Preservation Review Commission, to be involved
as you
all look to
rehabilitate
those.
Any other questions?
Mr. Long: Yes, I have a question.
Ms. Griffin: Yes.
Mr. Long: Is the area mauka of tile old highway then off limits to the public; the caves?
Ms. Yuen; That's a good question.
Mr. Carpenter. Well most of the area mauka of the highway is cliff, but there are the two (2) cables;
one (1) immediately adjacent is the road and one (1) with a walkway, old asphalt roadway, up to
it. There's a third site, there's a rock shelter, and then there is Lohi'au"s house site right at the end.
They aren't going to be developed to attract people, and of course this plays very heavily into the
fact that they are all within the rocicfall zone. So traffic will be diverted away from the caves, and
in fact what was originally envisioned as the pedestrian pathway was the highway corridor. That
all dot changed due to the rockfall assessment, and the desire by the commuxuty, and us, to not
deface makana, the cliff. So everything got pushed into a safety zone. There will be viewing
opportunities of the cave, presumably from the same pathway, the elevated pathway. whether we
will allow people at their own risk and with adequate warning to go and. approach the paves, I
mean I think, personally, it's kind of an eye right now with the number of signs and warning
sins we have, probably. Y think we don't physically have the ability to keep people out, but they
will not be invited there or it won't be developed'.

Ms.

If a rock fell off of it,
it would fall on
you, it's not going to bounce,, it's not doing to go anywhere else; it is going straight down where
people would be. So that is what we were wrestling with.
Mr. Long: Has anyone ever been hurt by a falling rack?
Ms. Yuen:, There's been stories. I mean, even a member of our advisory committee had said there
was one (1) instance when they have gone out, drove the length of Ke"a. In that short time that
they turned around to come back, there was maybe a 7 or 8 foot boulder that had. fallen on the
highway. And this was many years ado, but it's happened not in too distant history. even when
we heard the initial findings from the rackwall engineers, they had identified, was it four (4)? That
you guys actually ended up removing that could have imminently fallen within that time, so State
parks went ahead and dealt with those rocks that were about to fall down. It's not something that
Slate Parks wants to just kind of say, will you know, people still want to go there; it's a huge
liability for them.
Mr. LonR: It has to find balance.

Mr. Lon2-.. It would be mice if, in your plan, those cultural areas, the caves, you know, some people

at your own risk. I'd 11"ke-that,

Ms. Sebiaelder: How does this impact the road that's an the register?
Ms. Yuen: So actually, the impact is going to be less because youwon"t have so many people or
cars on it.
Ms. Schneider: Right, but will you change anything about the road?
Ms. Yuen: N0. No. If anything, what had came up was if fihere was a potential way is make that
surface more pervious,, meaning water can actually filter througb it a little bit better., that was kind

that would jeopardize its integrity. So that kind of discussion, I think, was on the table for now
because Y don't tbink. it would maintain the integrity that got it on the register, but otherwise there's
nothing else.

That will put some pressure on our Staff to be able to take comments at our September 3'd meeting

appropriate for a motion and discussion.
Ms. Griffin. That's an excellent suggestion. Thank you.
Is everyone willing to do that? Take a, stronger look at, or a longer look I guess., at this document.
Come back next month, and in the meantime, before the one (1) week sunshine rule, get comments
to Staff., so that the discussion at the September 3rd meeting can be directed and easier to translate

Mr. Hull: You can email those directly to me. If we have any questions or discussion the

Mr. Smith, it's always a pleasure.

We got your letter,, so let us know what you're thinking. It looks like today you I re

Mr. Smith: Actually,, at the last m0ma'to eet ing for a Bridge Park Project, the Commission requested
that the Hawai 'i Department of Transportation produce a list of bridges that we might: or would be
working on in the future. So I would like to address that.
Ms. Griffin: okay.
Nor. Smith: I did bring... did everybody get the handout? If you look at the handout, the bridges
that are highlighted are bridges that we are currently working an either a design contract or working
on a design for. These are Mo (2) lists. one (1) list is the functionally obsolete State bridges list.
Functionally obsolete is, essentially, means that when it was designed,, it wild no longer meet the
purposes of the current roadway system; whether it be for tykes of vehicles or size of vehicles,
weights of vehicles that type of tbing. Then the structurally deficient list, which is the. smaller list.,
is actually a list that's generated from our Federally Mandated Bridge Inspeciion Program. knee

that it needs attention. It helps us to generate a list of what to work on newt, so you can see on that

list that most of those have been highlighted so we are going to be working on those. I thinly the
Wailua River Bridge-, we are actually under contract for repairs. 1'he only one on this list I'm not
100 % sure about is the Lumaha'i Stream.. It's either one of the Wainiha Bridges that we're going
to replace or it's either the one, for some odd reason it's Still on the list. I don't think so, I think
it's one of the Wainiha Bridges. But if not, the Lumaha'i'
Stream Bridge has already been replaced
along time ago. I m not sure why it's still on the list. T, actually, was not (inaudible) that question
before I gat hire today, but dust had come across it. I apologize for that, but if it's on these lists,
that means, for all practical purposes, it's past of the infrastructure that needs work, either way.
So somewhere down the Tine as you look at this, it will be in line to have some work done to it.
To answer the Commission's request from a longer lookout on what we might be doing, I present
that.

that were part of the presentation that we gave at the public meeting. We have not made any
decisions yet whatsoever. The Kapaia Bridge, of course, and I don't have it listed on here, but I

believe it was built in the 30'sif I'm not mistaken. The design for the Kapaia Bridge was actually
for a fifteen (15) ton truck. If you equate that out, that's & * d versus what we allow today, it's much
less than half. It 'is also on the structurally deficient list. There are issues outside of; but when you
have a bridge that's that old, carrying that amount of weight, what you will find is it will start to
show signs of fatigue and distress,, which is what's occurring at the Kapaia Bridge which is park. of
this project. We intend to upgrade the structural integrity. From an engineering standpoint, I don't
know of any other way to do that other than to rebuild it. I'm not sure of an avenue by which I
guess anything's possible with an amount of money, but there are some deficiencies there in width.
We do have some bikes and pedestrians and some other users that have to face the restrictions
there that we'd Tike to look at going forward, and of course we'd like to bring that up to current
Loading standards. The last picture that was included in that is the APE, which is the area of
potential effector impact. One (1) of the things that I'm definitely very interested in, from hearing
from this commission now or going forward, is that anything that you all are aware of, not only
with the bridge itself historically, you know, any historical significwice there with the bridge, or
in the area that you would like to bring to our attention as we move forward with this project.

driving on it? Well, it's okay. If at any point in time, which is why we have the Federally
Mandated Bridge Inspection Program so you do go back to that bridge, and then if anything is
identified during that time limit that remedial action or immediate action will be taken. Thank
• you.
Ms. Santos returned to the meeting at 4;42 p.m.
Ms. Griffin: ether questions?
Can you cell us an correcting the geometric deficiencies, what is the width of the bridge now? And
what will it be?
Nor. Smith: I think that currently... and I do have this information, I just did not bring it with me.
Again, I must apologize. I think there are two (2) 11 foot lanes and two (2) 2 foot shoulders, so
it's currently about 26 feet, maybe.
Ms. Griffin: Okay. And the
shoulders,
currently part of it is
fudge

and part of
if is curbed
with a very narrow sidewalk,
essentially.
When you feel dike

as you walk it,
I might add. The 8

shoulders, are

Mr. Smith: Yes ma'am.
Ms. Griffis:
Is it going to have

Ms. Giiffin: Yes.

Right, right.
you talking about totally demolishing
curbs? Is part going to be shoulder, part essentially a lined
going to he curbed :for pedestrians?
Mr. Smith: Okay,, got you. Yes, there will he a separation. I can't cell you what that would look
like just now because we haven't came up with it, but yes, there would he a distinct separation
between the pedestrian facility and the roadway facility. It's at least possible that we could puff a
bridge with two (2) lanes, shoulders which would be the hike lane, and a pedestrian walkway
outside of that. At this point in time, I'm just not sure.
Ms. Griffin: Surrounding the bri'dge, under it, what hi-storic areas and perhaps residences are going
to be impacted by this?
Mr. Smith: Did you get, by any chance, the letter that we sent? Not that one, the consultation
letter.
Ms. Griffin: No. Not to my knowledge.

Mr. Smith:
Y should have sent it with this

Ms. Griffin: Stay right there. I just want to make sure. Is there anyone from the public that would
like to testif r in large or scope of knowledge?
Okay. Then we will keep going. Last year, I think it was completed, there was a statewide historic
regimentory done, completed by Fung Associates and the State. I'm wondering what comments
are in that document about this bridge; its level, the importance, its history, and so forth.
Mr. Smith: I don't know.

you early and often, (Laughter in background
Actually, I am here only in the spirit of coming to
IVs. Griffin: Anal we'll always enjoy seeing you., Donald.
Mr. Smith,* The idea is, we haven't made any decisions yet. It's really just part of the 106
consultation process to go and find out all of the historical information I can, I am here for that
reason to find out and historical information that I can. I will make sure that I can go back and
make sure that I send that letter back through the process, the consultation letter, so that you can
get that to everybody because it does identity some of the historical components of the area. There
are some components of that area that were not included in that report at the request of the folks
in the area. You know, you have to have their permission, so a lot of that: is included. I'll make
sure you get that.
Ms. GrifEn: okay. That's really helpful becauseit's easier for us to respond when we have more
knowledge and information on the property, whatever it is. So that will be really helpful to us.
Yes, Stephen.
Mr. Long: I have a question and a comment. The question is, I see here two (2) 12 foot lanes v�rith
8 fool wide shoulder, plural, so is that two (2) 8 :fool wide shoulders and two (2) 12 foot lanes? Which would be...
Mr. Smith: That would be a total of 40 feet.
Mr. Long: 26 to 40 feet. So right now, its I I and 11, and 2 and 2; and they want to go to 12 and
12, and 8 and 8. That's the question, thank you for clarifying that.
And the comment is, in general, it's easier for me to respond to drawings, particularly when it's a
physical abject, rather than words. So if you want to present design ideas, for me it's easier to see
them in a graphic form.
Ms. Schneider: I agree.
Mr. Smith: And I realize that. Again, keeping in mind that the spirit here is just to lit you know
as early as possible before any decisions have been made. I understand exactly what you said. I
do intend to come back. I guess the idea was isthat if you had identified it though as a bridge that.,
August 6, 2015 KEPRC Meeting, .Minutes
Page 32
such as the C)ma'o Bridge, where you did identify if as a particular group of bridges that you were
concerned about; if you had any concerns early on that should be addressed. So the idea would be
is that you know I'm planning on tearing this bridge down. (Laughter in background) Because Z
physically don't know how...1 have very few funds, so you know, if I don't have to, T wouldn't,
but in this case I do believe I do, and I wanted you to know chat. Then if you had any concerns in
regard to that and to this particular structure you know about. I will comae back with some
additional information. I will, at some point in time, come back with design alternatives that we
choose; whether it be rnakai or rn.auka, I'm still struggling with that right now so.
Ms. Griffin: There are times when a bridge is so irnpoi-tant, historically, and within the life of the
community that it becomes -f nding ways to preserve it is the first priority. There are times that the
historic properties, view plains., cultural activities around it become very important. It is sounding
like that may be the case in this particular structure, so chat's why I was asking and why it would
be helpful to have more information an that. By the way, while I'm thinking of it, thank you so
much for waiting so bong to take your turn,

Mr. Chaffin Jr.: When you say "additional 'Information"...
Ms. Schneider: Well life Stephen would ask to see some drawings. It would be much easier to
assess through a drawing.
Ms. Griffin: And the historical sites around it, the things that we were asking; what the historic

Mr. Smith:- Right.
Ms. Griffin: But I think that the information on the impacts to historic places we can certainly...
Nir. Smith: Then my request would be to revise the motion to allow me to come back when I have
a fuller picture. Not at the point when the decisions are made, but just when I've been able to put
together the information because I won't have any pictures. I will forward you the consultation
letter, which, ..I'm not sure what went wrong there... so I will forward you the consultation letter
which has the APE and all of those sites identified. I don"t want to confuse the September ;`a

come back when I have a fuller.. .
NIs. Griffin: May r have an amendment that we not have it on the September 3r6 meeting, but at

Ms. Wichrnan: Looking for the districts though, it was a little difficult to look for districts.
Ms. Schneider: Well if you took the inventor and put them on the platmaps,

and Hanalei both had nLiunerous properties-.
Ms. Wichman-, No., they do.
Ms. Schneider: Of course Olokele Sugar, that whole street as weii,

Ms. Griffin-. Z know you're in archaeology, but as our State Historic Preservation Division
representative, would you come up to the hot seat for us please, Mary Jane? I'm sorry, Anna.
Excuse me, mina. Forgive me. And I knew that so well, Z J'Ust., forgive me. des, you are here.
r spoke to Mike Faye about the west side and the first thing he said was Kekaha. There are lots of
residences through there, part on the beach, but past in the neighborhoods that are endangered
because as styles change, these aren't particularly appreciated. I have pictures of several Kapa'a
residences, I mean they're casual pictures, they're windshield pictures. that would give a sense of
that. Alpo, the 'Waimea Plantation Camp, Lihu'e side of the Plantation Cottages, is really well
kept. They're well attended. There are people living there that take great pride in them. There is
a Hongwanj*i, the 'Waimea Higashi Hongwanj'l', again, well kepi; and classic worker plantation
houses. We calked about Kaumakani". Again, it's a real special little avenue and the houses on it.
Ms. Schneider: And it has street lamps.
Ms. Griffin: It has street lamps. It has this, really unusual for the
amenda building. "then the Olokele Mill at the end of the property.
area, Spanish- Mission style
Ms. Schneider: And the Plantation Manager's House which is on the other side.
Ms. Griffin: Right. We have a member of our Commission who knows the Hwiape-p6/Kaldheo
area well, so I did not approach that area. But I also wanted to talk about `Akahi and `Elua Street
because the Lihu'e Town Core Plan addresses some of the possibilities of that like keeping the
August 6, 2015 KHPRC Mecting Minutes
Page 36
hedges a certain height and a hunter business in the back. There are still several houses on `Akahi
Street; `Elua, though, is still more intact. However, this house that's near Ahukl'nl* on `Elua Street
is currently on the market for $$g4,000 with the "For Sale" sign saying "commercial property
potential ". That's why I think these two (2) blacks are exceedingly endangered even with the
Town Core Plan activity. Again, Y have several pictures of homes.
The next, in the district where llive,, especially since Ms. Arinaga is not here today, is the Kapa'a
Baby Beach area that were Plantation Management homes and along that beachfront, too. A lot
of those are pretty safe in the neighborhood, but a lot of the ones right along the oceanfront that
are becoming B &Bs and things, the pressure to build differently is strong. Since four (4) of the
nine (9) of us are from the north shore, Y thought that those of you from that area would be good;
although there are places, Tike you say, along peke Road where you've got old craftsman houses.
A few are on the National Register, but when there's a house on the Bay that is a historic home
and it's on the market for $30 million, there's a good chance what's going to come will be very
different. So in terms of endangered and what's happening to that community, that is there. And
these are for you.
Other places?
Mr. Long: How would you like Lis, as a Commission, to make a recommendation for these folks
to follow? X mean, should we want to decide these are our three (3) or four (4) top neighborhoods?
Anna Broverman: r think that would be really helpful for us. We're planning on doing at least
three (3) days of surveys here in September, We're going to have about eight ($) to ten (10) people
doing it. I think if we could have a recommendation of... X' d say three (3) to four (4) areas we
could definitely do min that time period, so those would be very helpful to have-.as suggestions.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Who is "we "?
Ms. Broverman: State Historic Preservation Division. I'm with the Architecture Branch.
Ms. Griffin:- This is Anna Broverman. I apologize, again, sitting back there I had a mind warp.
(Laughter in background)
Alright, so what are your recommendations?
Ms. Schneider: Do you want to just list them?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.

what are the parameters of our recommendation? You mean a small area or a
Ms. Schneider: That they are eligible to be a district, right?
Aucust 6, 2015 KJORC Me ctin g M i n u i cs
Page 37
Ms. Broverman: 'Yes. We're looking at Residential Districts, so Housing Districts, but also places
with commercial main streets, potentially. We want them to be eligible for the Registcr and we
also are looking for places that are potentially endangered. So those arc our criteria.
Ms. Schneider: Do we want to make a recommendation?
Ms. Grinin. Yes ,
that's what I'm
asking foz- is that, like
Stephen suggested that we order it in
some way, say five
(5) different
areas or whatever they can
look at.
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: I would like to see a list of what the areas could be and then we could pick from
that list.
Ms. Schneider: The list is the inventory, isn't it?.
Ms. Griffin: The areas are where there are several historic ... and This is residential that they're
doing. The State, this year, passed a laver that historic houses no- longer need to go to the State
Historic Preservation division for review, unless they are already on the State or National Register.
In doing that, they also gave $ 100,000 each of two (2) years for SHPD to locate and identify and
potentially place on the State Register or something, follow-up m a way that will give us a body
of appreciated historic districts,, Historic districts vary in size considerably and they are almost
always non-conforming structures within that historic area.
Ms. Santos: I have to leave, in like five (5) minutes, because we have a salt maker's meting.
Ms. Griffin: Okay.
Ms. pantos: okay, so I'm going to do my nominations. r do the Waimea Town because that's a
good one; that whole section right there before the Cottages. Then I do the HanapEpE Town.
There's that side street right there and all those back streets over there; that includes Hana�epe
Malley, just because.
Ms. Schneiders,,, Both sides of the river.
Ms. Santos:

Yes, both sides of the river., yes. I say Pdkala--, just because. You have to add it to the
Ms. Schneider': Absolutely.
Ms. Santos: You have to add it to the list. You can't not add it to the list.

Ms. Schneider:. Yes, M aweli.
August 6, 2015 KHPRL Meeting Minutes

Ms. Santos: And plus because they want to do all that development over there, that is high on the
list of places. .
Mr. Long: You know, you are only going to have money for two (2) or two (2) and two (2)?
Ms. Broverman,-,. T-"To (2) -�Nlhat?
Mr. Long: Two (2) historical neighborhoods.
Ms. Santos: They have eight (8) people here. They are going to have eight (8) people here to do
the assessments.
Ms. Brovennan:. Yes. And it's not going to be a money factor; it'll be t So we are trying to
get a document of areas surveyed to the legislature by February.
Mr. Long,:- How many neighborhoods are you going to do?
Ms. Brovermant, I think, realistically, use can do about four (4) neighborhoods.
Mr. Lo Four (4) in one (1) year? Or two (2) in one (I), two (2) in the next?
Ms. Broverman: Yes, for this year. And we'll 'have money for nest year as well.
Mr, Lon You do?
Ms. Broverman: Yes.
Mr. mull: And Anna, that's four (4) for Kaua'i or four (4) statewide?
Ms. Broverman,*- Kauai.
Mr. Long: Okay, so that's four- 4 for Kauai in the first tranche of money.
Ms. Broverman.- Yes.,
Mr. Long: Okay.
Ms. Santos: So I'm doing to name mine, and then you guys can say ``yay" or "nay ".
Mr. Long: Yeah. I was just wondering if we had to combine the Pdkald and Waimea. I'm sorry.
Ms. Santos: Well Pdkala- is big; Pdkala- is huge. It's not Kaumakani lxIaere it's just that one (1)
street.
Ms. S Right, right.
August Ca 2015 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
?age 39
Ms. Santos: You know what 7'm saying? Y mean, that would be the most prominent one, but we've
not really developing Kaumakani right now because in Pdkald they want to go and build
a... whatever they're doing over There, I mean, that would be my top pick right now. And maybe
Pdkald with that one (1) Kaumakaniroad, and t house across the sheet. Thai's kind
of my thing for the west side. McBryde is kind of cool, but it's so run down over t but people
are still living in there; people sill got their stuff going on in there. I think that's not really a
neighborhood anymore so it doesn't count.
Mr. Hull: Yeah, and to somewhat interject, as the recommendations come Through, Staff can look
at them further. as well. But I thifflc also to manna's point, or to SHPD's point, if the purpose is
essentially because the State legislature passed a law that removed the requirement for residential
buildings to have to go through SH-PD review, and therefore SHPD is now looking for residential
neighborhoods in order to fold those residential structures backmto the review, potentially, should
changes be made_ I think Waimea Town or Hanapeo-*'pe-
Town are perfect candidates for historic
districts in and of themselves. For the purpose of folding say residential structures in though, that
might not necessarily be there because of the :fact that those are primarily commercial structures.
If there are alterations being made to structures over fifty (50) years or older, they are going to
have to come to you folks anyway. Ultimately, what the goal SHPD 'is, to a certain degree and
correct me if Im wrong Anna, is trying to establish is to somewhat quickly fold in a few areas of
residential areas.
Ms. Schneider@a So Hanalei Town,, Hanale'/Weke Road. would definitely be one (1) of them.
Mir. Hull:
Yes. If
you're
going
because of
the fact
that
they are
like the Ching Young Village area, then some of it might be Rost
going to have to come in no matter what.
Ms. Schneider: I have been talking to them.
Ms. Wichman. That's the problem that I found, too. The problem Y found was you look at housing
PP-4--
districts, you know, so most of the historical districts that we have are commercial now. Maybe
at one time they were houses, but they have all become commercial, so it's kind of limiting.
Ms. Griffin: Right now, there are only six (6) residences on this island that are historic and taping
advantage of the historic tax credit.
Do other Commissioners have recommendations?
Ms. Santos left. the meeting at 5:15 p.m.
You mentioned Hanalei'/Weke Road.
Ms.
Schneider: I Think
there are also areas in
Kilauea that are associated
with the sugar.
They are
sort
of being impacted
now as new buildings
are coming in, and they are
all residential.
And only
one (1) of them is on the Register; the Trombley's house.

Ms. Griffin As I started out, I mentioned Waimea, the plantation camp, not Manager's houses.
L'ihu'e., here, which those houses were almost the first time that L-lhu'e Plantation sold land for
Managers and things to come in; Consolidated ('inaudible) bought a property for their Manager
and bLu*lt a house, Kress bought a property, General Shinseki grew up on `Akahx Street.
Ms. Schneider*. Some of them are unique.
Ms. Griffm: They are classic, Hawal"i vernacular, single -wall, 9 -foot ceilings, tong and groove,
but they are right here in town and I think endangered, So I would like to bring up the Llhu'10
e
Town Track, which is what it's formally called. And then, like I said, there was Kapa'a Baby
Beach area,
Anything else, other Cornnussioners?
Mr. Long: 7'11 just put in my two cents worth. In picking up on what Kaaina said about Hanape-pe'
and Waimea ToNvn, and I don't know how to judge that myself in weighing whether a commercial
versus residential and what we see in the. value. But in placing a lot of weight on what Kaaina
said, I would go like this: first for me
the street with the street lamps.
Ms. Griffin: Kaumakanim.
would be the Pdkald and that street. I'm sorry I don't know
Mr. Long: So that would be one (1) and I would couple those together because they are pretty
close and similar. No. 2 for me would be Kapa'a. Is it Fuji Beach? Yes. No. 3 would be Hanalei,
and No. 4 would be L-qlu' e.
Ms. Griffin: Other suggestions?

Mr. Land: And Kaua'l*
gets what percentage of that?
Ms. Grif-fin: I'm sorry, Ste-r)hen, hold onto that and we'll ask, but we have a motion on the floor.
It's been moved and seconded that we submit these possibilities to the State for their survey. We
should discuss specific to the motion,
Mr. Long: And.
it
�s specifically
to Victoria's concern of being able
to present
additional
neiahborhaods
in
the
future, and
I'rn
tryinv, to clarify
that
we
have another
whole
year in
which
to
present additional neighborhoods.
Ms. Griffin: Okay.. it's been
in order and the rest that have
moved and
seconded
that we
submit
these names, the first four (4)
come up, to
the State

for their

coming up soon..
All in favor? (5 ayes) apposed? You're opposed?
M 1P
s. H Yes.
Ms, Griffin: That's five (S) in favor, one (1) opposed, and the motion carries 5:1.
You look like you have something you want to say.
Mr. Hull: I was going to add, real briefly, because the discussion is goi'*ngl'-nto historic preservation
of particularly residential structures and the districting and the process that goes by. I just want to
make the commission aware chat... and I believe some Commissioners are aware because the topic
was brought up particularly about commercial redevelopment of residential properties, like in
Kekaha or whatnot. One (1) thing that is an the books that is of fair amount of lucrative gain can
be done to it through historical preservation is-, currently you guys may well be aware of the
transient vacation rental issue, for or against, wherever you are afi. It's an extremely lucrative
business and it's proven to be so. The only way that you can legally get a transient vacation rental
now on this island, outside of those visitor destination areas, is to have your property an the
Historical Register. If you are on the State Historical Register., you can become a legal TVR; kind
of just literally stamped over the counter. Right now, individuals., property owners, and quite
frankly, investment houses from California and China are trying to figure out how to get their
hands on TVRs here, and the one (1) way you can do it is to have your property registered. That
doesn't mean that you are going to be able to register this.. .
Ms. Schneider: So that means automatically they get the... ?
Mr. Hull: you can automatically
get that approval. But it doesn't
mean to say like
"oh I have a
house now. I'm going to put if on the Register." Obviously, A -nna
will attest to the
fact that it's
not that easy to get on the Register. It's going to have some type of significant place, either the

architecture or the history of Kauai.
But just
so you folks are aware,
that is a
particul
boon, and reason to register as we're
crying to
push property ownexs to
go that
route.
Ms. Griffin: And that's a County ordinance?
Mr. Hull: As within the actual Transient vacation Rental Ordinance.
ar avenue,
We kept, l of, silent on it because of the fact that we were afraid that it would blow out of
control. Quite frankly, nobody has even attempted to use it in the pass five (5) or six (6) years, and
it would be actually nice to see if. that would actually work because it might gel some folks more
amped and pumped about preservation. (Laughter in background)
Ms, Broverman: I apologize, but my flight literally heaves in an hour, so I have to leave.
Ms. Griffin-.% That's fine. We normally are not this extensive, but we do ppreciate it and you will
be getting a letter from us.
Ms. Brovennan: Thank you all very much for yoiu comments. It's very helpful.
Ms. Wickman: Thank you.
Ms. Schneider: Take care.
Ms. Griffin: Is there anything else on this discussion before we go on?
Re: Report from investigative committee members (Permi"tted Interaction Group) to
discuss and explore strategies on informing the public and land owners on the State and
National Register of Historic Places Nomination Process and Incentives for placing historic
structures on to the National or State Register of Historic Places. "
Ms. Gfiffin." okay. Our last order of business is the report from the Pe-Lnitted Interaction Group
to discuss and explore strategies on informing the public and land owners about the State and
National Registers and incentives.
We did meet; A Stephen and x. Stephen, can you dive a report about what we discussed ?
Mr. Lo I can do that. On August 15th, Anne Schneider, Pat Griffin, and myself met at the
Princeville library to discuss how the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission could
promote and encourage the listing of properties to National Register of historic Buildings.
We came up With five (5) ideas. (1) was just get the word out with articles in Local. and Stake
printed materials about the benefits of National registration, including tax credit benefits. (2)
Articles by owners who have already placed their properties on the National Register and have had
positive experiences with that as a hook to other potential nominees. (3) Would be displays in
libraries and other public places that would circulate and change. (4) We noted that there vvexe

very few residential and commercial buildings on Kauai that are actually on the Register. We
discussed the importance of two (2) 111 particular., the Shell Station in Liliu'e. and the Convention
Hall, as prime potential candidates for nomination. And (5) we were doing to identify and contact
owners of potential properties that are excellent candidates for .nomination to have a more in-depth
d iscussion with them to see if they might be interested in pursuing it.
Ms. Griffin: Thank: you. Did you have something to add, Anne?
Ms. Schneider: No.,
Ms. Griffin: We knew this was a partial list and that scveral of it-, like No. 1 betting the word out,
would take incentive and participation for us to actually to do it. Is there any discussion on the
National Register? changing the mindset about it in the public?
Mr. Long: You know, we were going to have Ian, who's now lost- to us ]:'m sure, or somebody
give us a talk. on the tax credit incentives. If we were educated in that wad then we could educate
other people.
Ms. Griffin,*. Is that something that the Staff can put together and ask Ian for next meeting? Great.
So hopefully because that is an incentive, certainly.
May I
have a motion to
accept this report and
to keep the discussion

we move forward that
can remain on our minds and

Ms. Griffin'., Thanks_ It's been moped and seconded that the Historic Preservation Review
Commission accept this report and to keel it on future agendas so that we can continue to discuss
it. Yes?
Mr. Chaffin Jr.: Cmi you define what the report is?
Ms. Grifl"in: First of all, as you know from your time in the County, for more than two (2) of us
to talk about something like this and make it more efficient to bring back, instead of taking time
for everybody, a Permitted Interaction Group was started. The report was to find out ways to
change the mindset, that's been identified, that the National and State Registers are a burden, rather
than a possibility. So that's what Stephen was saying, was we came up with five (S) different
possibilities on getting the word out through various means, having displays and getting the word-
out, and finding out more about tax credits and other financial incentives. So that's what the report

is, and instead of just., . .

(NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f)}, Repair and rehabilitation improvements using Federal funds is
considered an "undertaking" under these regulations, and the State HPHA is serving as the
Agency Official initiating this Section 106 consultation process for this project. A "no historic

units on any one site. The units: 1) can be four one-urrit buildings or one four -unit
building or any combination; or 2) an individual action of five or more housing units
developed on scattered sites when the sites are more than 2,000 feet apart and there
are not more than four housing units an any one site.
9. Acquisition or disposition of, or equity loans on an existing structure, or acquisition
of vacant land provided that the structure or land acquired, financed, or disposed of
will be retained for the same use.
These types of repair and renovation improvements could consist of site and dwelling
improvements that may include modernization of buildings (interior and exterior), infrastructure
repair and upgrades (sewer, water, drainage), utility repair and upgrades (mechanical'. electrical,
gas), abatement of hazardous materials, accessibility improvements, concrete repair, solar hot
water installation with installation of tank less gas -fired instantaneous backup, site lighting, tree
trmirmng,, resurfacing or paving of parking lots and sideNvalks, and wall repair. For projects with
elevators, improvements could consist of elevator upgrades. In addition, HPHA will evaluate
repair and renovation improvements programmed to ensure the nature of the work falls within
the nine categories described.
Area of Potential Effect and Identification of Historic Properties
A listing of the six housing projects included under this Section 106 consultation is provided in
Exhibit A along with information on existing land use. The "area of potential effect" (APE) on
It- historic properties was established based upon the improvements that would occur which consist
of repair and renovation work to existing buildings, units, and common area facilities. Utility
repair or rehabilitation work would occur within the project site. The APE was therefore
determined to consist of the property boundary associated with each housing project.
A
Mr. Dahifig, County of Kauai,
September 8, 20L5

Department of Planning
There are no known historic properties present within the properties of housing projects listed in
Exhibit A. This is based upon; 1) similar HUD required environmental reviews conducted by
HPHA in 2010 and prior which included site visits; 2) information on the State's fisting of
historic sites included on the State and National Registers of Historic Places; and 3} HPHA's
experience with prior repair and renovation work occurring at these housing project sites. All of
these properties have been extensively altered as part of prior construction of housing projects.
Exhibit A also includes the year the housing projects were completed and initially occupied, and
none of these projects have buildings 50 years old or older.
Determination of Effect
Based upon these efforts and
