UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Re: Letter (6/10/16) from Saundra F. Jacobs, Regulatory Compliance, Eukon Group
Requesting to Make a Presentation on the Cultural Resource Aspects and Processes
to the KHPRC on the Proposed AT&T Cell Site Located at the Kilauea Japanese
Cemetery, TMK: 5-2-4:49, Kilauea, Kauai.
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item with content is Agenda Item G, Unfinished Business. Letter from
Saundra Jacobs, Regulatory Compliance, Eukon Group requesting to make a presentation on the
cultural resource aspects and processes to the KHPRC on the proposed AT&T cell site located at
the Kilauea Japanese Cemetery, TMK: 5-2-4:49, Kilauea, Kauai.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes

The Commission is in receipt of a revised photo simulation provided by Saundra Jacobs,
Regulatory Compliance, Eukon Group, and there is a representative for the applicant at this time.
Ms. Schneider: Would the applicant come forward?
Les Young: Good afternoon, Madam Chair, Deputy Director Hull, and members of the
Commission. My name is Les Young. I'm an independent consultant hired by, in this case, AT&T
to be here this afternoon to provide additional information that may supplement the meeting that
was held back in the latter part of June, as well as to answer any questions that you may have.
From the information that was discussed by the Environmental Planner, Saundra from Eukon, I
believe there was quite a bit of discussion with regard to the proposal, some of the historical history
that occurred that is leading us up to this particular point in time. So I must admit that I'm not as
versed in that particular project as Saundra has been, or the prior consultant, but I'll do my best to
answer whatever questions you may have.
Last week, I submitted over to the Planning Department a Special Permit, Use Permit, and Class
IV Application for their initial review, so that is on the way right now. The revised photo
simulation that more clearly and more accurately reflects that, which is shown on the drawings,
has also been presented and you have that in front of you. So at this time, I'd be glad to answer
and entertain any questions that the Commissioners may have at this time.
Ms. Schneider: Commissioners, any questions? I will say the revised tree looks better. Stephen.
Mr. Long: I would just like to say that ... and thank you for being here. And just say how much I
appreciated you providing the information, and the graphics, and the drawings, and the simulations
that we requested, so I consider it to be a really full re -review of your application, and thank you
very much.
Mr. Young: Thank you.
Mr. Hull: You have two (2) options here, really. You can either just receive it with no comment,
or if you wish to comment on the proposal, that comment or recommendation ... excuse me. I've
had the hiccups for the past few days, so I apologize. (Laughter in background) That any action
by this Commission would be sent to the Planning Commission for their review and analysis of
your comments given the historical site. So those are really the two (2) options you folks have.
Ms. Schneider: So it would be nice to make a recommendation based on the drawings that were
submitted now.
Mr. Long: Okay. I make a motion that we accept this application as -is with our approval of the
proposed cell tower site as shown in the drawings and graphic model.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second?
Ms. Nakea: I second.

(None) Motion passes 5:0. Thank you very much.
Mr. Young: Thank you, Chair and members of the Commission.
Re: Discussion on the status of the Certified Local Government.
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is G.2., Discussion on the status of the Certified Local
Government, and we have staff from the State Historic Preservation Division here for you folks.
Ms. Schneider: Would you guys like to come up?
Anna Brovennan: Hello, Madam Chair. I'm Anna Brovennan from the State Historic
Preservation Division.
Kaiwi Nui Yoon: Hello, Madam Chair. Kaiwi, State Historic Preservation Division. Madam
Chair, we wanted to update you on the status of the 2006 [sic] NPS grant. It has come to our
attention from another CLG, the Big Island CLG, there were some concerns as to where we were
with approving their project application. We thank the Hawaii CLG for being so patient. But
Madam Chair, the status of our current grant is this: NPS has not approved the 2016 grant, which,
in effect, is Federal funding that funds our office. With that being said, without the Historic
Preservation Fund Grant being approved by NPS, NPS is not in the position to approve any CLG
projects at the moment. So we realize that Big Island had put in a request... when? February, and
still, they haven't been ... that project hasn't been approved, and that goes for all CLGs. Timing -
wise, Madam Chair, we anticipate that NPS will give us approval within the next quarter or two.
We are working diligently on some of the audit findings that they had questions on, and I think
we're getting through this. Anna has been working closely with Megan Brown from NPS for the
CLG portion of that grant, so do you have any updates on part of it? Are you guys close?
Ms. Broverman: We're talking with Megan Brown from National Park Service tomorrow about
the status of the grant, so we should be able to have an update soon. And that includes the 2016
project application the Commission put forward for the nomination of Hanapepe Bridge. We will
make sure she has that as well. When they approve the 2016 grant, they should approve that project
and it can move forward.
Ms. Schneider: That would be wonderful because those people have worked very hard to try to
get that registered.
Ms. Brovenman: Yes.
Mr. Hull: The application for the grant monies for the nomination of the Hanapepe Bridge took a
while to get to Anna's hands because under the County Code and our County Charter, the ... we
cannot accept any grant monies unless approved by the County Council. So we had to get it first,
the application, on the County Council's agenda, which has its own time and belaboring and
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 5
whatnot, so it went to the County Council and was voted unanimously to ... for the County to move
forward on this application for that grant.
Ms. Broverman: That's a really good segue to our next topic, which ... I'm currently writing SOPS,
the Standard Operating Procedures, for the CLG grants. And what that means is whenever... these
processes written down should outline how people will come to SHPD to request CLG grant
funding, who's responsible for requesting what, and how long that should take. I'm going to be
working with the County Planners to understand your processes for what you need to go through
to get grant funding and where you can get grant funding from. So that's an update that I'm
currently working on. It's going to take a little while, but I'll make sure to update the Commission
as we move forward.
Also, I'm working on fine-tuning the CLG Grant Manual, and those are the procedures that
are ... that we follow and the CLGs follow for applying for grants, getting certified, all that stuff.
So I will keep the Commission informed of that, too, as we go forward. But the Commission will
have to approve any changes that I make to that manual, so I'll bring it forward to you guys.
Ms. Schneider: Thank you.
Ms. Broverman: Also, one of the big changes in the CLG Grant Manual that I'm working on is
right now, there's a match requirement for these projects, and I'm looking at maybe lowering the
match requirement or removing it all since County funding is generally hard to come by for these
types of projects. Also ones that have ... are costly, like a thirty -some thousand dollar project
requires a large match and with this change, that wouldn't be required anymore.
Mr. Nui Yoon: To be clear, Madam Chair, we just found out from NPS that it's by the State
programs how they want to do the matching and the splits, so what Anna is referring to is if in our
manual... currently, it says there's a 60/40 match condition in there. She's going to be evaluating
whether that match makes sense because ... and often times, this County, as well as Maui County,
all the CLGs, they have their own funding restrictions which leaves the match to the State Historic
Preservation Office, which, at times, we've been matching either cash capital or staff capital. Now,
if that were alleviated from both of us and NPS is agreeable to the conditions, then I think that
might be a more efficient way to move forward so that the financing can happen quicker for
projects.
Ms. Schneider: Sure because coordinating between the government and you guys...
Mr. Nui Yoon: That's correct.
Ms. Broverman: Any questions on that before we go to the next?
Ms. Schneider: Commissioners?
Ms. Nakea: Are there any other projects that are going to be put on hold other than the Hanapepe
Bridge nomination?
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 6
Ms. Brovennan: We have the ... Hawai`i County applied for a project that was the creation of an
application that was kind of like a walking tour but on a phone app, so that one is currently on
hold.
Ms. Nakea: But in regards to Kaua`i...
Mr. Hull: Commissioner, the only other project or grant monies that this body has looked at is for
the repository for archaeology finds and whatnot. That hasn't moved over even to Anna guys'
hands yet because it hasn't gone to Council, and the reason it hasn't gone to Council is there are
still discussions internally of how those funds would be managed; whether it would be managed
by the Planning Department, which, quite frankly, doesn't have the expertise, or, if it's at all
possible, that the Parks Department could manage those funds and do adequately... there are still
discussions being had. So the hold on that is not on their end, it's on our end.
Ms. Wichinan: The discussions are being held in Planning?
Mr. Hull: Simultaneously between Planning, the Mayor's Office, and Department of Parks.
Ms. Wichman: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Broverman: I also wanted to update the Commission on the NAPC CAMP training that we're
planning. And right now, it's scheduled for the 26°i of September.
Ms. Scluleider: The 26"'. And that's all day?
Ms. Brovennan: Yes. And we are still going through contracting for this, so it could
still... something bad could happen. It could fall through. (Laughter in background) But...
Ms. Schneider: But we should...
Ms. Broverman: Yes.
Ms. Schneider: Commissioners, if you can save that date because they are going to come here to
Kauai and that would be advantageous for us.
Ms. Broverman: And if we can't make it on the 26"', I'm trying to have NPS extend our funding
so it could happen later in the year. Until all contracts are signed, I'd like to put that disclosure
out there.
Ms. Schneider: Thank you, Anna.
Ms. Broverman: Yes. And from the last Commission meeting that we went to, it sounded like the
group wanted training on just basic preservation knowledge; just, I think, project review, the
National Register, I think tax incentives was one. Is there any other things that the Commission
would like training on that we could cover?
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 7
Ms. Schneider: Some of us went to the Historic Hawaii training last week. I don't know whether
any of the Commissioners have any suggestions.
Ms. Wichman: Well, I think that the training that we did with Hawaii Historic was a lot to do ... or,
excuse me ... were the same subjects that we asked for training with you.
Ms. Broverman: Right.
Ms. Wichman: So a lot of that was covered.
Ms. Broverman: Okay.
Ms. Wichman: So there are other things, as well.
Ms. Schneider: Some archaeology ones maybe.
Ms. Broverman: Okay. So archaeological infonnation? Okay.
Ms. Schneider: Would that be good?
Mr. Hull: And Anna, I'll also point out that the KHPRC has formed a Permitted Interactive [sic]
Group specifically for educational purposes, and so on the agenda ... at the last meeting, they had
brought up several different educational opportunities they'd want to look at. So later on in the
agenda, they'll be discussing specific things concerning the CAMP training, how to run and
prepare meetings, and so on and so forth.
Ms. Broverman: Perfect.
Mr. Hull: So depending on the action of this body, we can get back to you with what they want to
specifically be seen taught at the CAMP.
Ms. Broverman: Perfect. Lastly, we have ... I guess, next month is HCPO happening here on
Kauai; the Hawaii Congress of Planning Officials. Kaiwi and I are working with Kaaina, Pat
Griffin, and a couple people from Hawaii Island to have a panel that's discussing CLGs. So we're
going to just talk about, you know, what CLGs are, what they're currently functioning at, what the
Commissions would like to do in the future. We wanted to make you all aware that that's going
on.
Ms. Schneider: And where is that conference going to be?
Mr. Hull: We'll talk about it in Announcements at the end of the meeting, but it's going to be held
September 21" to the...
Ms. Broverman: 23`d
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 8
Mr. Hull: 23`d. It's held at the Grand Hyatt this year. As Commission members on KHPRC, you
all have access to that conference. Generally, access is around $400 or so, so you each have a pass
to that, as well as the evening festivities, but we can discuss that after. (Laughter in background)
Mr. Nui Yoon: Actually, there's one more thing, Madam Chair. I just received a letter on August
1 Otl' from Chair Rapozo regarding the Hanapepe Bridge and the 6-inch waterline. Anna and I came
out earlier today to look at both of the bridges, and I think a letter is forthcoming from our office.
So if there's any interaction with Chair Rapozo, please apologize for my ... our stalling. We're not
stalling. We just wanted to come out and verify the conditions of each of the bridges to find some
viable solutions. We did have a meeting with Fung and Associates, who has been retained to do
the historic context for the bridge, and they are ... infonnation from them has just arrived and it'll
be infonning our letter, so please let Chair Rapozo know that it's coming.
Ms. Schneider: Thank you guys.
Mr. Nui Yoon: Thank you.
Ms. Brovennan: Thank you very much.
NEW BUSINESS
Re: Proposed draft Rules of Practice and Procedure of the County of Kauai Historic
Preservation Review Commission.
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is H.1., New Business, and that is the proposed draft Rules of
Practice and Procedure of the County of Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission. So
you folks have, in your packet, draft rules for parliamentary procedure for the body. Generally,
all officially formed Commissions will have adopted rules by which it conducts itself;
parliamentary rules. This is the one Commission in the County that I'm aware of that does not
actually have adopted rules. You essentially use the de facto Robert's Rules of Parliamentary
Procedure. So it's just going through the formal process of adopting rules. So you have this before
you folks. We don't want action on this; in fact, we can't take action on this today. The Hawaii
Revised Statutes requires that any administrative rules adopted first be reviewed by the State Small
Business Regulatory Review Board, so ultimately, myself and somebody from the County
Attorney's Office will take it over there if you guys are okay with this draft. But it's kind of...do
you have any discussion right now? We can go over questions or concerns. If not, you can take
it home and get even deeper with it.
Mr. Long: Let's see. A couple of things. One, could you just summarize or point out anything
that you think is poignant or different than how we have been doing it? And secondly, a couple
of years ago we had talked about changing the name and numbers of commissioners, and it was
just too much humbug because they had to go through what this is going through. So now that
you're —this is happening, now would be a really good time for us to take a look at any of those
other administrative changes that we had discussed three (3) or four (4) years ago.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 9
Mr. Hull: To the first question, there is not really anything different, from the manner in which
you folks function right now, proposed. It's just to codify them, essentially, or get them officially
adopted. And the manner in which administrative rules are adopted are you folks, yourself, vote
the rules in or out. Once that vote is taken, it's essentially transmitted to the County Clerk's Office
for their signature and it's adopted.
Concerning the name change or the number of commissioners, that is something that can be done,
but that cannot be done within this body. It would be drafted here and a recommendation would
be made to County Council for an actual ordinance change because the name, as well as, more
importantly, the number of commissioners is dictated by County ordinance, so we'd have to go all
the way back to County Council. If that's something you folks are looking at entertaining or doing
that can be done. I think, you know, given the razor's edge of barely making quorum on this
session, as well as not snaking quorum last session, it's a worthy topic of discussion; whether or
not the number should be whittled down. Whether you're talking about specific, actual changes
to the naive or the overall intent, that's a grander discussion which we can have, but that would
also ... we would take in conjunction with SHPD because the adoption of that ordinance is
essentially what put us in the Certified Local Govermnent status.
Mr. Long: Thank you.
Ms. Schneider: Is there anybody from the public that would like to speak on this?
Mr. Hull: The Department would request deferral to the next scheduled KHPRC meeting.
Mr. Long: So we do have another month to really dig into this?
Mr. Hull: You folks have actually ... I'm going to be honest. You have a couple months because
of...(in) September and October, there is no staff available to take it to the Small Business
Regulatory Review Board, so the earliest we could take it to the State is not until November. If
you want to entertain moving it to even a later date so that it doesn't appear on this agenda, we are
fine with that as well.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion?
Mr. Hull: You would need a motion for deferral though.
Ms. Wichman: I move that we defer the proposed draft Rules of Practice and Procedure of the
County KHPRC until a future date.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second?
Mr. Hull: I'm going to interject. You are going to want to pick a date. It can be the next KHPRC
meeting or the October KHPRC meeting. We would recommend... just in case...
Ms. Schneider: October.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 10
Ms. Wichman: October?
Ms. Schneider: Yes.
Ms. Wichman: Okay. I recommend that we defer this until October.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second?
Ms. Nakea: I second.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion passes 5:0. Thank
you.
COMMISSION EDUCATION COMMITTEE
Re: Deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the
investigation that were presented to the board regarding the educational
opportunities for the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission:
Full training on the basics of being a Historic Commissioner, including but not limited
to: the NAPC Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program attended in Kona in
2014; Secretary of Interior Standards; how to judge and respond to permit requests
of historic properties; reviewing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, and Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 6E.
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item we have is Agenda Item I, Commission Education Committee.
I.1., deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the investigation
that were presented to the Board regarding the educational opportunities for the Kauai Historic
Preservation Review Commission. Item La., full training on the basics of being a Historic
Commissioner, including but not limited to: the NAPC Commission Assistance and Mentoring
Program attended in Kona in 2014; Secretary of Interior Standards; how to judge and respond to
permit requests of historic properties; reviewing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, and Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 6E.
I don't know if the Chair of the Committee wants to speak to anything to that.
Ms. Nakea: Just going over that list again, what, for me personally, jumped out was that the "how
to judge and respond to permit requests of historic properties"... like I said, for me personally,
seems to be my greatest area of need and what I would appreciate, I think, the most. That's it.
(Laughter in background)
Mr. Hull: And Commission, the way that this is set up is these are the items that the Committee
brought back to the Commission as Commissioner Nakea listed them, but because it wasn't
officially agendized, this body couldn't take action on them. So the way we structured it on the
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page l I
agenda is that each one of the one's that were listed, we've structured for an actionable item. So
we would essentially go through each one to review, discuss, and vote whether or not the body
wanted to move forward on those particular educational opportunities.
Ms. Nakea: Commissioner Wichinan, did you ... you were going to ... were you going to say
something before I jumped in?
Ms. Wichman: No.
Ms. Nakea: Okay.
Ms. Schneider: So we want to take a vote on each one.
Ms. Nakea: So we vote on this then.
Mr. Hull: You would essentially vote on each one. After you dispose of La., I'll call Lb. and so
on and so forth.
Ms. Nakea: Okay.
Ms. Schneider: All in favor of doing Item A?
Mr. Hull: I think you need a motion first.
Ms. Schneider: Oh, we need a motion.
Ms. Nakea: Okay. So I move that we approve ... how do I do this without having to read the whole
thing?
Mr. Hull: You could...
Ms. Nakea: Item La.? Section I, La.?
Mr. Hull: Yes.
Ms. Nakea: I move that we approve Section I, Item La.
Ms. Schneider: Second?
Ms. Wichman: Second.
Ms. Schneider: All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Opposed? (None) Motion passes 5:0.

Re: Deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the
investigation that were presented to the board regarding the educational
opportunities for the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission:
Training on how to run and prepare for a meeting on Kauai.
Mr. Hull: Next on the agenda is Item I. Lb., deliberation/decision-making on the findings and
recommendations of the investigation that were presented to the Board regarding the educational
opportunities for the KHPRC. B would be training on how to run and prepare for a meeting on
Kaua` i.
And I think this one, the Department was in discussions with the County Attorney's Office to go
over, specifically, parliamentary rules, which the County Attorney's Office was ready to give, but
there were some Commission members that wanted something above and beyond that to actually
running a Historic Preservation Review Commission meeting. So I think that that's why that was
in the PIG for education and could essentially be wrapped up or at least put in the package given
to Kaiwi and Arena folks on their structuring of the CAMP.
Ms. Wichman: May I say something?
Ms. Schneider: Sure.
Ms. Wichman: I'm just curious why ... well, I was on the Committee, or the PIG that actually put
this on here, but the County does do the training in the beginning of the year, so the training that
they would give us would be more specific to our Commission and more detailed.
Mr. Hull: Correct. Yeah, and the individual that actually gives the training on running
parliamentary procedures for Commission meetings is from the County Attorney's Office and is
willing to come down and give you folks a special primer just for you guys, but it still would be
in that blanket parliamentary procedure on rules type of presentation; not specifically geared to
historic preservation. And the last Commissioners that attended the CAMP in Kona were given
an educational opportunity on how to run, specifically, historic preservation meetings, and so I
think that's what the aim of this was.
Ms. Nakea: And I think that that's why we wanted ... we asked for attendance at an HPRC meeting
at either Maui or Hilo, or even nationally.
Ms. Schneider: That depended on the funding for the...
Mr. Hull: Yeah, we'll get to that one in the... (Laughter)
Ms. Nakea: Okay.
Ms. Schneider: So the ones on Kauai, we should make an effort to...
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 13
Ms. Nakea: So even though they kind ... B and E sort of dovetail into each other, we want to agree
on them separately?
Ms. Schneider: Right.
Mr. Hull: Just strategically ... I can be quite honest, Commissioner. B on how to prepare, we can
present ... if this body passes it, we would convey it over to Anna folks to see if they could wrap
that into a CAMP training.
Ms. Nakea: Okay.
Mr. Hull: When you get into E, the County ... the Planning Department's budget doesn't really
have enough to send people there. There may be an opportunity through CLG funds, but I'm not
quite sure on that. But I can say that, at this time, the County doesn't have a budget for that.
Ms. Nakea: Okay.
Mr. Hull: But there may be other avenues available. But that's why we wanted to bifurcate them
because the training may be possible and the attendance may not.
Ms. Nakes: Makes sense.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion for B.
Ms. Nakea: I move that we accept Item A.l.b. [sic].
Mr. Hull: I.l.b.?
Ms. Nakea: I.l.b. (Laughter in background)
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second? No second?
Mr. Hull: Without a second, the motion would fail.
Mr. Long: I second.
Ms. Schneider: All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed? (None) Motion passes
5:0.
Re: Deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the
investigation that were presented to the board regarding the educational

Two (2) in -state or national conferences a year for training and networking that
would be in addition to the Hawaii Congress of Planning Officials.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 14
Mr. Hull: Next on the agenda would be the saine Commission Education Committee I.e. for
attendance to two (2) in -state or national conferences a year for training and networking that would
be in addition to the Hawaii Congress of Planning Officials.
This is another one where, as I previous mentioned, the County budget does not have anything for
something at the expense level of traveling nationally for this body. The...
Ms. Schneider: So we should concentrate on the ones that...
Mr. Hull: Well, the Commission has had training through SHPD and through the CLG program.
Commissioners did attend a national conference previously and that opportunity may or may not
still be available, but it would go through the CLG grant process. So in looking at those
conferences, if you folks wanted to pursue them through the CLG grant process, that's specifically
what that is for.
Ms. Schneider: Should we defer on those and go on to the one that's on Kauai?
Mr. Hull: I mean, the Department has no recommendation.
Ms. Nakea: There's no hann in asking.
Ms. Schneider: Okay.
Mr. Hull: Anna got for you folks several months ago a list of national conferences. There was
possibly one that you guys could have attended, but then the funding got a little weird, so you folks
weren't able to make that one, but I believe that there may still be opportunities in the future.
Ms. Wichinan: And maybe we can get an updated list because most of that list was already passed.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion.
Ms. Wichman: I will. I move that we accept Item I. Le. regarding two (2) in -state or national
conferences a year for training and networking that would be in addition to the Hawaii Congress
of Planning Officials providing there is funding available.
Ms. Schneider: Is there a second?
Ms. Nakea: I second.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed? No?
(None) Motion passes 5:0.
Re: Deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the

Two (2) Kaua`i trainings; one of which may be the NAPC CAMP Conference.
Mr. Hull: The next would be Item I. l .d., two (2) Kaua`i trainings; one of which may be the NAPC
CAMP, or National Alliance for [sic] Preservation Commissioners [sic] ...I can't remember what
CAMP stands for. Sorry. (Laughter in background)
Ms. Schneider: We just had something from them.
Mr. Hull: Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program, Conference.
So it looks like, already, SHPD is going to provide one of those trainings through the CAMP and
the Department has no objections to looking for furthering trainings later on.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion. Commissioners?
Ms. Nakea: Would we change the motion because one is already in motion? I mean, because one
of these trainings is already in motion. Or would we still keep it, move to accept the two (2) Kaua`i
trainings; one of which may be...
Mr. Hull: I think it could be ... the Department has no recommendation on removing that. As Anna
pointed out, it's almost set in stone, but not quite set in stone, so if something happens, she can
point to KHPRC as having a motion and moved on having an NAPC CAMP on Kauai.
Ms. Wichman: Is there a possible date?
Ms. Schneider: Yes, September 26"'.
Ms. Wichman: Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Ms. Schneider: Yes.
Ms. Wichman: Yes, for the training.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion.
Ms. Nakea: Okay. I move that we accept Agenda Item I. Ld. for two (2) Kaua`i trainings; one of
which may be the NAPC CAMP Conference.
Ms. Schneider: And a second?
Ms. Wichman: Second.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed?
(None) So it passes 5:0.

Re: Deliberation and decision -making on the findings and recommendations of the
investigation that were presented to the board regarding the educational
opportunities for the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission:
Attendance at a Maui or Hilo HPRC meeting to see how they are run, and that may
count as one (1) of the in -state conferences mentioned in Item No. 2.
Mr. Hull: The last and final ... oh, no. I. Le. is the last and final of 1. Attendance at a Maui or Hilo
HPRC meeting to show how they are run, and that may count as one (1) of the in -state conferences
mentioned in Item No. 2.
Ms. Schneider: This one is also (inaudible).
Mr. Hull: This one is just contingent upon funds. The Department has no problem applying for
CLG funds. I'm not quite even sure if CLG can allow for that type of travel, but it's a discussion
we don't mind having. (Laughter)
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion.
Ms. Nakea: I move that we accept Agenda Item No. I. Le. for attendance at a Maui or Hilo HPRC
meeting provided that there is funding.
Ms. Schneider: Is there a second?
Ms. Wichman: Second.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed?
Nope. Motion carries 5:0.
Re: National Alliance of Preservation Commissions Membership.
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item for the Commission's Educational Committee is Item I.2.,
National Alliance of Preservation Commission Membership.
So it was requested that the Department look into applying for membership in the National
Alliance for Preservation Commission. In your packet is some brief summaries and outlines and
data on what the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions is. It was essentially formed
right after the adoption of the National Historic Preservation Act in which ... one of the things
outlined is if various municipalities adopt preservation ordinances and form commissions, they
can participate in the Certified Local Government program, but it was recognized that bodies like
Historic Preservation Review Commissions were going to need continual and constant educational
opportunities as commissioners change over to understand the interplay between preservation and
the National Park Service among other things. So the NAPC is formed and geared specifically for
bodies like this. Looking at the fee, it's roughly $150 annually. The Department can find ... it's a
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 17
nominal fee, so the Department can find that if this body is interested in participating as a member
in that program.
Ms. Schneider: So we need a motion to...
Mr. Long: I make a motion that the Commission request and work with the Planning Department
in having our Commission placed on the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions
membership.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second?
Ms. Wichman: Second, please.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed?
(None) Motion passes 5:0.
Re: Historic Preservation Standards Seminar Invitation, Friday, August 12, 2016.
Mr. Hull: And the last agenda item for the Educational Committee is I.3., Historic Preservation
Standards Seminar Invitation, which was transmitted for the seminar to take place on Friday,
August 12, 2016.
The only reason you folks still have this is because you didn't have quorum at the last meeting, so
the agenda just carried over. So some of you were able to attend. It was a wonderful workshop.
You just have to have a motion to receive, really. There's no action to take on that item.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a motion?
Ms. Wichman: I move to receive Item I.3. as stated.
Ms. Schneider: Second?
Ms. Nakea: I second it.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Anybody opposed? No?
(None) Motion passes 5:0.
IfAUAI HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY UPDATE COMMITTEE
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is Item J, which is Kauai Historic Resource Inventory Update
Committee, but the Committee was unable to meet in between the last Commission meeting and
now, so there is no update provided.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 18
HISTORIC PRESERVATION PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
Re: Update on the permitted interaction group (PIG) for publicizing historic preservation
efforts.
Mr. Hull: So the next agenda item is (Item) K, Historic Preservation Publicity Committee on
update on the permitted interaction group for publicizing historic preservation efforts.
This was actually one of the first or originally fonmed Permitted Interaction Groups with the
purpose of just publicizing preservation efforts; what type of opportunities and benefits are
available for preservation. The only reason this is on here is because it was pointed out that they
haven't met and discussed this issue for some time, and so whether or not ... and then some of the
members of that original committee no longer sit on this Commission, so it's actually lacking a
quorum, I believe. So it's just here for you guys to discuss whether you want new appointments
to be made to that, or to disband the Committee, essentially.
Ms. Schneider: I think we need to wait for Pat to come back.
Mr. Hull: Yes.
Ms. Nakea: I agree.
Mr. Hull: And so in the meantime, I think the Chair will be going through ... if there is a desire to
move forward with that PIG, that appointments be made to the Committee.
Ms. Schneider: I think once Pat comes back, we'll be able to do that.
Ms. Wichman: Do we need a motion to defer? I move that we defer Item K.1. on the updated
Permitted Interaction Group for publicity of the historic preservation efforts.
Ms. Schneider: Do we have a second?
Ms. Nakea: I second the emotion.
Ms. Schneider: Any discussion? All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion passes 5:0.
Mr. Hull: The next ... oh, yeah.
Mr. Long: I had a question for Kaaina. On Item J, will that remain on the agenda for our next
meeting?
Mr. Hull: Yes.
Ms. Schneider: Yes.
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 19
Mr. Long: Because we are all looking forward to...
Ms. Schneider: Getting back out and...
Mr. Hull: So the way the agenda is structured now is that ... because I know that was at least one
(1) Commissioner's concern about receiving items and then it's going to disappear. So in order to
address that, what we've worked on is for specifically for PIGs, you will always have a section on
the agenda reserved for the PIG until that set PIG is disbanded. If there is no meeting or report to
give, then ... while it's still held on the agenda, there won't actually be an agenda item to discuss,
but there will always be a placeholder for that particular PIG.
DATE AND AGENDA TOPICS (October 27, 2016)
Mr. Hull: And then the next agenda item is date of the next Commission meeting is...
Ms. Schneider: That's wrong.
Mr. Hull: That is wrong. (Laughter in background)
Ms. Schneider: It's September something.
Mr. Hull: Oh, correct. That's why the ... yeah, so the next agenda is October 27, 2016 and the
reason being is that there is no staff for you available because it's HCPO.
Ms. Schneider: Oh because you have your conference.
Mr. Hull: We have the conference going on, which, again, just to go over for you folks, so that's
why there's no meeting in September. It's moved to October.
Ms. Schneider: And we might have that training in September anyhow.
Mr. Hull: Yes. So the training, (inaudible) will happen, is on September 261h. You folks will all
be invited, as well as other commission members from other commissions.
For the HCPO, essentially what that is, is it's the Hawaii Congress of Planning Officials, so every
year those within County and State planning agencies hold a conference in which they all get
together and basically discuss planning issues and things at the forefront of planning, and things
going on...
Ms. Schneider: Do you have a special speaker this year?
Mr. Hull: We have several. (Laughter) So it's things at the forefront of planning, things that are
happening in Hawaii on each of the various islands, and there are various panels. It's a morning
to afternoon educational session where you have various tracts of ..so we'll have a tract on
August 25, 2016 KIiPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 20
housing, a tract on transportation, a tract on zoning overall, which is where some historic
preservation things will go on, and so there is a specific CLG forum occurring in which Kaiwi,
Anna, Pat Griffin, some historical preservation planners I believe from Maui and from Oahu will
be attending. They just asked me to sit on it, which I had some reservations because it's 7 o'clock
in the morning. (Laughter in background) So that's essentially what that conference is and you
all as Commissioners have a slot available that includes the conference, which is the educational
opportunities. It also includes the dinner that happens in the evenings and entrance to the
hospitality room at the Presidential Suite in the later evening. (Laughter) Where you'll find me.
(Laughter in background)
Ms. Wichman: Is there a website where we can find more infonnation?
Mr. Hull: In fact, we'll shoot that out to you folks, and yeah, it has the entire agenda and various
speakers. So we have everybody from ... the President of the American Planning Association is
coining in. We've got a couple national speakers that are really, a lot of times, hard to book, but
we've somewhat perfected in that we know them, we call them up generally in November, and
they live in places like New Jersey, and we say we got a place for you, we just can't pay you. So
yeah, there are a lot of awesome speakers. Yeah, so if you guys can snake it, it would be awesome.
Ms. Schneider: So we're pau?
Mr. Hull: And you're all pau. There's one other thing that I have to discuss. Oh, the one thing I
wanted to bring up, just as a discussion point, is that if you read the Garden Island Newspaper
recently, there was a historic preservation case in Waimea, which they had ... we are unaware of
anything going on with that house. There's a discussion about the house next to the Waimea
Dispensary being demolished. It is ... the Waimea Dispensary is indeed a historic structure. When
I spoke with people at the Garden Island Newspaper, they are speaking to me about the Waimea
Dispensary, so I informed them of what they would have to go through. The news article came
out and it was not on the dispensary, it was on the house adjacent to the dispensary, which I didn't
have the information on. So there was a miscommunication when we spoke with the Garden Island
Newspaper, so I just wanted to, if any of you guys had any concerns, allay that issue.
And then finally, before you guys leave, if you guys haven't been on Hawaiian Airlines in the past
month, they actually had an article on architectural historic preservation specifically recognizing
Alfred Preis.
Ms. Nakea: I've read that.
Mr. Hull: Yes.
Ms. Nakea: That was awesome.
Mr. Hull: It was a wonderful article, so I actually have it all for you. And Commissioner Nakea,
do you know which building in the Uhu`e Town Core Alfred Preis designed?
August 25, 2016 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 21
Ms. Nakea: I don't remember.
Mr. Hull: It doesn't mention it in the article.
Ms. Nakea: Oh okay. No.
Mr. Hull: He actually designed ILWU Building. He had a lot of connections with the ILWU and
designed multiple ILWU buildings in the State of Hawaii. So I have this and I'll distribute it after
you guys disperse. Thank you.
Ms. Schneider: We're adjourned.

RE: Proposed New Roof for Existing Restaurant Building
4479 Rice Street
TMK: 3-8-04: 14
Dear Michael:
16 75 7
PL P,!?
The Owner of this former Restaurant Building is Honolulu, Ltd. The building is located
within your Lihue Civil Center Master Plan. The Owner wants to renovate and re -roof this
existing building.
The existing roof is a mismatch of wood shakes on the mansard roof and Nardi- plank
shingles on the remaining roof. See photos.
We are proposing to install a "standing seam" metal roof for the entire building -- see
attached drawings; site plan, floor plan, roof plan and exterior elevations,
The adjacent building (same parcel) along Haleko Road is presently a metal roof. We
believe that the proposed metal roof will conform to the surrounding area.
Please review our request, if you have any questions, please call. Thanking you for your
consideration.
Thanks
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Griffin:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Central Federal Lands Highway Division
CFLHD), in partnership with the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT), is
proposing to replace the Hanapepe River Bridge at Mile Post (MP) 16.57 on Kaumualii State
Highway 50 (HI-50) (see attached Area of Potential Effects USGS Map for project location). A
Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
prepared pursuant to HRS Chapter 343 (as amended), and Hawaii Administrative Rules Title 11,
Chapter 200. A copy of the Final HEPA documentation can be downloaded at
hqps:Hflh.fhwa.dot.gov/proiects/hi/hi-stp-sr50-1 -hnapepe-river-bridg-I23361
During the project development, the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commisssion was
identified as a potential concurring party for inclusion in a Memorandum of Agreement developed
to resolve adverse effects to the two eligible historic sites identified within the projects area of
potential effect (APE): (1)SIHP #50-30-09-2280: Hanapepe River Bridge; (2) SW #50-30-09-
2283; Levee historic.
Previous Consultation with the KHPRC
The FHWA-CFLHD has sent previes correspondence to the KHPRC regarding the Hanapepe
River Bridge project in letters dated August 26, 2015 and July 22, 2016. The FHWA also met
with the KHPRC on October 1, 2015 to discuss the project and provided comments (in form of
meeting minutes) on October 28, 2015 to FHWA. The minutes indicated the HPRC felt that the
crash -tested bridge railings do not appear visually similar to the existing bridge railing, and
OCT�1 *),a
2 7 2016
2
requested that a more visually similar railing be crash tested and installed on the bridge. FHWA-
CFLHD responded that this feedback would be considered, and explained that the national
process to crash test and approve bridge railings for use on federally -funded highways takes years
to accomplish. General questions were asked regarding the presence of archaeological sites, and
Cultural Surveys Hawaii, Inc., the archaeological consultant for the project, discussed the surveys
performed and lack of resources identified in the project areas and the ongoing consultation with
SHPD. These project files have been enclosed for your reference.
This letter serves as our formal request to be plased on the October 27, 2016 KHPRC meeting
agenda to brief the commission about the status of the Hanapepe River Bridge project, summarize
the MOA and stipulations, and to request that the commission endorse the project MOA as a
concurring party. We greatly appreciate the KHPRC's coordination in this undertaking. Please let
us know if we can be added to the agenda for your next commission meeting. We would
appreciate your consideration of this request. If you require additional information, please feel
free to contact Thomas Parker, Environmental Protection Specialist, at (720) 963-3688, email:
thomas.w.parker@dot.gov.
Sincerely yours,

on historic properties.
STIPULATIONS
The FHWA shall ensure that the following stipulations are carried out:
I. MITIGATION MEASURES
A. The project requires a small portion of the historic United States Army Corps of Engineers
floodwall (SIHP # 50-30-09-2283) to be removed. This action will be conducted using
construction methods that would not compromise the overall integrity of the resource by ensuring
the area where material is removed is left structurally stable and repaired with in kind materials.
B. FHWA shall consult with the National Park Service HABS/HAERIHALS (HHH)
Coordinator in the Pacific West Regional Office as to the required type and level of HHH
documentation and on the guidelines and protocols for submission.
C. FHWA shall ensure that all documentation activities will be performed or directly supervised by
architects, historians, photographers and/or other professionals meeting the minimum
qualifications in their field as specified in the Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualifications
Standards (36 CFR 61; Appendix A).
D. FHWA shall provide originals of all records resulting from the documentation to the National
Park Service.
E. Prior to construction completion, FHWA shall develop and install interpretation materials (i.e
sign/kiosk) for the Hanapepe River Bridge project. The interpretive materials will include a
summary of the history of the Hanapepe Valley including but not limited to: A discussion of
Native Hawaiian history within the area; Hanapepe Town; a summary of the HAER
documentation for the Hanapepe River Bridge (SIHP # 50-30-09-2280) as well as its role in the
development in Hanapepe Town; The Hanapepe River watershed; Agriculture within the
Hanapepe Valley; and a summary of the HAER documentation for the Hanapepe River levee
(SIHP # 50-30-09-2283). The FHWA will prepare the interpretive materials and will consult
with the SHPD and consulting parties during the development of such materials. FHWA shall
develop an outline, which summarizes the contents of the interpretive materials to be developed,
and will hold a scoping meeting with the SHPD, consulting parties, and local community prior to
interpretive material development. This scoping meeting will also provide an opportunity for the
collection of oral history to be included within the interpretive materials. Two draft interpretive
material reviews with the SHPD and consulting parties will be conducted at 50% and 90%
complete milestones. The SHPD and consulting parties will be afforded 30 days to review and
comment on the design and content of the interpretive materials. The locations of the
interpretative signage/kiosk have yet to be determined. FHWA will coordinate with the SHPD
and consulting parties to identify an appropriate site for installing the interpretive sign/kiosk
materials.
F. FHWA will salvage character defining features of the Hanapepe River Bridge (SIHP # 50-30-09-
2280) including a segment of the Greek cross rail with lights and a Bridge end post/monument.
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Resolution of Adverse Effects to the Hanapepe Bridge, Hanapepe AhupuEa, Waimea
District, Ifauai Island, Hawaii FHWA Project No. HI STP 50(1).
2of12
FHWA will make every attempt to salvage a Bridge end post/monument that has the bridge name
and/or date. FHWA will reduce the number of saw cuts during the material salvage by cutting
material at natural breaks within the structure. FHWA will stockpile and protect salvaged
material throughout construction with the intent to incorporate it as part of the interpretive
signage/kiosk area,
G. FHWA shall prepare and provide a complete set of As -Built drawings for the Hanapepe River
Bridge to the SHPD and consulting parties following project completion and construction
closeout.
H. FHWA shall prepare a formal MOA closeout memorandum which documents compliance with
all stipulations included in this MOA. The SHPD and consulting parties will be afforded 30 days
to review and comment on the content of the formal MOA closeout memorandum.
II. BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
A. FHWA-CFLHD proposes to replace the existing bridge to meet current standards for
load, capacity and seismicity. The replacement bridge would include the following
activities:
1. The new bridge will be a three -span, shallow arch, girder bridge which reflects the
aesthetics and historic character of the existing structure.
2. The new bridge will be longer than the existing bridge —increasing in length from
275 feet to approximately 308 feet.
3. The new bridge will be wider than the existing bridge —increasing in width from
36 feet to approximately 52 feet.
4. The existing vertical bridge abutments are currently located within the main
channel. The existing abutments would be demolished and removed. New
abutments will be constructed behind the location of the existing abutments and set
back from the main channel, thereby avoiding interference with the existing
foundation and adding additional conveyance of flood waters under the bridge.
5. The proposed horizontal and vertical roadway alignments will closely match
existing conditions as roadway profile changes would impact the adjacent
properties along the roadway approaches to the bridge.
6. The project will include two retaining walls on the west end of the bridge. Based
on preliminary design, the wall on the mauka side would measure approximately
110 feet long, and the wall on the makai side approximately 55 feet long.
B. FHWA shall replace the bridge consistent with design plans previously furnished to
SHPD on May 11, 2016 (Attachment 2). Deviations and/or design refinements on
intermediate stanchions and end stanchions shall be consulted with SHPO and consulting
parties as design is finalized.
a. Prior to rehabilitation, FHWA shall provide the State Historic Preservation
Division (SHPD) redline copies of the bridge replacement plans for review and
approval. SHPD shall provide written concurrence or comments with the
drawings within 30 days of receipt.
b. Prior to the bridge contractor's notice to proceed, FHWA will provide SHPD
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Resolution of Adverse Effects to the Hanapepe Bridge, Hanapepe Ahupuaa, Waimea
District, Kauai Island, Hawaii FHWA Project No, I -II 5TP 50(1),
3 of 12
final drawings of the bridge for approval. SHPD shall provide written
concurrence or comments with the drawings within 30 days of receipt.
C. Any historic properties directly adjacent to the APE, including SIHP # -2283 (Levee),
shall be avoided and appropriately protected in place with construction fencing for the
duration of the replacement project.
D. At the completion of the bridge construction and thirty (30) days after final as -built
drawings are received by FHWA as directed by the project specifications, FHWA shall
provide as -built drawings to SHPO and concurring parties to document the completion of
the rehabilitation.

Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft report entitled Archaeological Inventory Survey Report.for the
Hanapepe Bridge Replacement Project, Hanapepe Ahupua `a, Waimea District, Kaua `i, Federal Highway
Administration/Central Federal Lands Highway Division (FHWA1CFLHD) Contract DTFH68-13-R-00027 TMKs:

SHPD received the draft report in our Kapolei office on May 18, 2016.
The project is an undertaking according to 36CFR§800.4,16, due to the provision of federal funding from the
Federal Highways Administration and the Federal Lands Highway Division. In consultation with the State Historic
Preservation Division (SHPD), and at the request of CH2MHilI, Cultural Surveys Hawaii, Inc. (CSH) conducted an
archaeological inventory survey (AIS) to assist in identifying historic properties within the area of potential effect
(APE) for the Hanapepe River Bridge Replacement Project. Section 106 consultation is concurrent and ongoing. The
AIS fulfills the requirements of Hawaii Administrative Rule (HAR) §13-275 and the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Archaeology and Historic Preservation.
The 2.9-acre APE is located along Kaumuah'i Highway, near mile marker 16, where the highway crosses over the
Hanapepe River, and encompasses a portion of Iona Road as well as Kaumuali`i Highway, which is owned by the
State of Hawaii, The project includes the demolition and replacement of the bridge. A companion architcetural study
is being conducted by Mason Architects, Inc.
CSH conducted a 100% pedestrian survey of the APE and subsurface testing. Four historic properties were
identified: the Ilanapcpe River Bridge, State Inventory of Historic Places (S1HP) Site 50-30-09-2280; two retaining
walls (Site 2281 and Site 2282); and an carthen/basalt berm (Site 2283), Mason Architects evaluated and
determined Site 2280 to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP) and the Hawaii
Register of Historic Places (HRHP) under Criterion A (associated with events that have niade a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history) and Criterion C (embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type,
period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that
represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction). Mason
Architects assessed the retaining walls (Sites 2281 and 2282) as not eligible for either the NRHP or the HRHP
pursuant to 36CFR60.4 and HAR§13-198-8. Mason Architects determined that the earthen ditch (Site 2283) is
significant under Criterion A for the HRHP per HAR§ 13-198-8 and is also eligible for the NRHP under Criterion D.
Mr. Will
August 10, 2016

The AIS report proposes that while the project adversely affects historic properties, thorough architectural
documentation by Mason Architects serves as mitigation and recommends no additional archaeological work for the
current project. The SHPD concurs with these recommendations.
The AIS meets the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards,for'Archaeological Documentation and
HAR§ 13-276. It is accepted witty the understanding that the following minor revisions will be made:
1. The management summary states that the cultural resources were assessed for significance in accordance
with HAR§ 13-275-6, but does not provide the significance assessments. Please provide assessments.
2. The management summary states that the Hanapepe River Bridge is eligible for the National and State
Registers under criteria A [should be Criterion A], but the summary states it is eligible under A and C.
Please correct.
3. Ensure throughout that the proper tern is historic properties, not cultural resources.
Please send one hard copy of the report, clearly marked FINAL, along with a link to a pdf version to the Kapolei
office. Please send one hard copy of the final report to the Kauai section.
SHPD looks forward to receiving an effect determination letter from the lead agency, which includes a summary
of the findings from the Section 106 consultation.
You may reach the Kauai Lead Archaeologist Mary Jane Naone at Maryjane.naone@hawaii.goy or at (808) 271-
4940 if you have questions regarding arcbaeological concerns. Please contact Architectural. Historian Jessica Puff at
(808) 692-8023 or Jcssica.L.Puff(&bawaii.gov for questions related to architecture.

Demolition and Replacement of Hanapepe River Bridge
Federal Highway Admin/Central Federal Lands Highway Div. Contract: DTFH68-13-R-00027
Hanapepe Ahupua`a, Kona District, Island of Kauai
TMK: (4) 1-9-007: 001, 013, 020, 034 pors.; 1-9-010. 014, 015, 046, 050 pors.
SHPD received your May 27, 2016 request for the State Historic Preservation Officer's (SHPO's) concurrence for
NHPA Section 106 effect determination for the replacement of the Hanapepe River Bridge. The project is an
undertaking according to 36CFR§800.16(y), due to the provision of federal funding Iiom the Federal IIighway
Administration (FHWA) and the Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLIID). The proposed project also is
subject to review under Hawaii Revised (HRS) Statutes Chapter 6E-8.
The 2.9-acre area of potential effect (APE) is located along Kaumuali`i Highway, near mile marker 16, where the
highway crosses over the Hanapepe River, and encompasses a portion of Iona Road as well as Kaumuali`i Highway,
which is owned by the State of Hawaii.
The project includes the demolition and replacement of the bridge (Site 50-30-09-2280) and the removal of a portion
of the historic levee (Site 50-30-09-2293). The determination is "adverse effect on the Hanapepe River Bridge... and
No Adverse Effect on the levee" per NHPA Section 106, and "Effect, with Agreed Upon Mitigation Commitments"
per Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) § 13-275-7.
A review of SHPD records indicates that the archaeological inventory survey report (Belluomini et al. 2016)
completed by Cultural Surveys Hawaii, Inc. (CSH) for this project was reviewed and accepted with minor revisions
on August 15, 2016 (Log No, 2016.01214, Doc No.1 607MN17), A companion architectural study was conducted by
Mason Architects, Inc.
The AIS identified two historic properties which were recommended as eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places (HRHP): the Hanapepe River Bridge (Site 50-30-09-2280), and an eartlren/basalt berm or levee (Site 50-30-
09-2283), Site 2280 was evaluated by Mason Architects as eligible for inclusion in the HRHP and the Hawaii
Register of Historic Places (HRHP) under Criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history) and Criterion C (embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type,
period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that
represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction), and significant
under HAR §13-275-6 Criteria a and c. They also evaluated the berrn/levee (Site 2283) as eligible for inclusion in
the NRHP and HRHP under Criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of our history) and significant under HAR § 13-275-6 Criterion a. The AIS report further states that
while the project will adversely affect historic properties, thorough architectural docurnentation by Mason Architects
J. Michael Will
August 24, 2016
Page 2
serves as mitigation and, thus no further archaeological work is recommended. SHPD concurs with the site
significance and determination of eligibility evaluations, and the recommendation of no further archaeological work.
The Federal Highway Administration and Central Federal Lands Highway Division conducted NHPA Section 106
consultation with consulting parties between August 29, 2015 and August 15, 2016. They state that comments from
the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Corxmussion regarding the replacement of the bridge railings were
considered, but not feasible. Historic Hawaii Foundation (HHF) also requested that a feasibility study be conducted
to consider whether Hanapepe Bridge could be historically replicated. The Hanapepe .Bridge Replication Analysis
study (May 2016) was prepared and concluded that replication was not feasible. The State Historic Preservation
Division and Office of Hawaiian Affairs also recommended consulting parties. FHWA and CFLHD contacted these
parties, and received no response.
In accordance with 36CFR§800.5, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SUPO) concurs with the adverse
effect determination for the replacement and demolition of the bridge (Site 50-30-09-2280), and "effect, with
proposed mitigations" for both properties (Site 50-30-09-2280 and Site 50-30-09-2283) in accordance with
HAR§ 13-275-7.
However, the SHPO has determined that removal of a portion of the levee is also an adverse effect, as the levee
(Site 2283) is eligible under criterion A and D, and the undertaking will "alter... characteristics of a historic property
that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the
property's location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, or association."
SHPD looks forward to receipt of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the project that addresses both the
bridge (Site 50-30-09-2280) and the earthen/rock berm/levee (Site 50-30-09-2283). Please contact Architectural
Historian Jessica Puff at (808) 692-8023 or Jessiea.L.Puff(a iawaii, ov for questions related to architecture. Please
contact Kauai Lead Archaeologist Mary Jane Naone at Marylanemaoneg),hawaii.gov or at (808) 27f-4940 if you
have questions regarding archaeological concerns.
