Could you state your name for the record, please? Ms. Maren Arismendez-Herrera: Good morning. Maren Arismendez-Herrera from Esaki Surveying here to represent the owner. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. Could you tell us a little bit about the project? The Department had mentioned about the widening of the roads there. Ms. Arismendez-Herrera: Right, and that has come up before. We have discussed it with the Planning Department. The issue was the requirement from the Planning Department that the owner improve, or bring up to County standards, Kikala Road based on the density, which it is allowed four (4) dwellings per the area for Lot 1-B. This is all pertaining to Lot 1-B. The owner has entered into an agreement with the County that it would only do one (1) unit, one (1) dwelling in exchange for that waiver of that requirement. If, in the future, Lot 1-B is fully developed, then that requirement will need to be satisfied; the improvements along Kikala Road. Mr. Mahoney: Is the Department in concurrence with that? Mr. Bukoski: Correct, sir. Mr. Mahoney. Do you have any questions for the applicant? Ms. Apisa: No, it seems reasonable. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. This is for tentative subdivision approval.

Mr. Mahoney: Is there anything you want to add to the report given by our— Mr. Crawford: No. It is a pretty simple map. In essence, it is four (4) lots in K61oa Estates. The residents are asking that their lots become a little bit larger by virtue of a purchase of small pieces of land from Kukui`ula to add to their existing residential lots. It is a piece of land that is kind of encumbered by an existing drainage ditch. It is not that usable to Kukui`ula, so there was an arrangement to sell to the four (4) lot owners. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. Any questions for the applicant? Ms. Apisa: No questions. Mr. Mahoney: Hearing none. Ms. Apisa: I make a motion that we approve the Subdivision Application No. 5-2018-3, proposed 5 -lot boundary subdivision [sic]. Mr. Mahoney: Second. It has been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say aye. (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carried 2:0. Thank you. Mr. Crawford: Thank you, Commissioners.

Is there a representative for the applicant present? Could you state your name for the record, please? Cel Mr. Crawford: Again, Lindsay Crawford with Kukui`ula Development Company LLC. Mr. Mahoney: Mr. Crawford, you are asking for an extension on this for improvement of (the) infrastructure, water, etc. Mr. Crawford: This is correct. We are very, very close to finishing up with DOW. In essence, we actually have to just go through the plan signature cycle. So we have everything taken care of, except for that. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. How much time do you think you need to complete this? Mr. Crawford: Probably going to take a couple months just to get through the cycle with the DOW. Ms. Apisa: So, like, by the end of the year? January? Mr. Crawford: Well, you never can tell. We need to get through the process with the DOW. We are asking for a one-year extension, but we probably won't need that. Ms. Apisa: I missed that it was a one-year extension. Mr. Mahoney: How does the Department... Mr. Bukoski: We feel comfortable with the one-year extension. Mr. Mahoney: One (1) year? Okay, well, better to get everything completed than come back for another. So one (1) year should— Mr. Crawford: That will definitely be sufficient. Mr. Mahoney: (Inaudible). Everything should be taken care of by then. It was duly noted afterwards that if there were any more (extension requests) that you need a status report? Mr. Bukoski: Correct. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. So you understand all of that? Okay. I think a motion would be in order. Any further discussion? No. Ms. Apisa: I move that we approve the Subdivision Application No. 5-2016-2 for an extension request for one (1) year maximum. Mr. Mahoney: Second. It has been moved and seconded. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying aye. (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carried 2:0. Thank you. Mr. Crawford: Again, thank you. 7 Mr. Bukoski: Thank you. Subdivision Application No. 5-2017-1; ANAINA HOULAND LLC; Proposed 2 -lot Boundary Adjustment; TMK: (4) 5-2-017:026 & 028; Princeville, Kauai Mr. Bukoski: Alright.

Mr. Mahoney: Is there a representative for the applicant present? Could you state your name for the record, please? Mr. Ian Jung: Good morning, Commissioners. Ian Jung on behalf of the applicant. The purpose of this subdivision is to basically add 20 acres to the Anaina Hou Community Park so we can have increased land coverage for the park facilities. The one hang-up we are held up on right now is we submitted a Memorandum of Deed Restriction to comply with the Housing condition that was imposed back in October. We submitted our request for review of the documents in February, but we are still waiting on a return of comments for those. That is the last item we are waiting on. As soon as we can get Housing to agree to our Memorandum of Deed Restriction, then we can move forward with the subdivision. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. Any questions for the applicant? Ms. Apisa: How long is this extension? Mr. Bukoski: This is also a year as well. Mr. Mahoney: One (1) year. You think one (1) year should be enough? Mr. Jung: Hopefully, yes. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. Ms. Apisa: No questions. Mr. Mahoney: Alright. Ms. Apisa: I move that we approve Subdivision Application No. 5-2017-1 for the requested extension of one (1) year. Mr. Mahoney. Second. It has been moved and seconded. Oh, excuse me. Do you want to ... your recommendation before we go through the motion? Mr. Bukoski: It is recommended that an extension until August 23, 2018 be granted to obtain final subdivision approval. However, the applicant is made aware that an updated status report on the subdivision with a detailed time chronology on the progress of the tentative approval requirements shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review for further extension requests. The status report shall be submitted to the Planning Department no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. Ms. Apisa: I guess I would just modify my motion to August 28th [sic] instead of one (1) year. Mr. Mahoney: Okay, and I will second that. So we will move on the motion. All those in favor signify by saying aye. (Unanimous voice vote) Opposed? (None) The motion carries 2:0. Mr. Jung: Thank you, Commissioners. Mr. Mahoney: Thank you. Any further business? ADJOURNMENT Mr. Bukoski: Moving on to Item J, Adjournment. Ms. Apisa: I move that we adjourn. Mr. Mahoney: I will second. All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carried 2:0. Meeting adjourned.
