Ms. Wichman: I move that we extend Pat Griffin's term another 90 days.
Mr. Long: Second,
Ms. Schneider: Any discussions?
Ms. Griffin: I have a question. It seems like if a new commissioner can be brought on before that
90 days that would be preferable.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 2
Mr. Furfaro: I would think next at your next commission meeting I would suggest that you put on
your agenda, since this nomination selection is made by your group for this position, that you put
an agenda item on to open up discussion about a replacement commissioner. And so although I
am hearing from Commission Griffin that she would be most kindly to excuse herself from the
rest of the 90 days. The fact of the matter is the process won't even be posted for another 30 days.
Ms. Schneider: We do have somebody that we... that's we have on the next month's agenda.
Mr. Furfaro: It should be agenda accordingly. Thank you.
Mr. Long: Madame Chair I have a quick question. Mr. Furfaro have you received any applications
or petitions for nomination to the KHPRC from the public?
Mr. Furfaro: Yes. We have received one but I understand this same candidate might be somebody
that you are nominating as a group next month. So I am waiting to see the outcome of that. Thank
you Madame Chair.
Ms. Schneider: Any other discussion? Can we vote? All in favor? (unanimous voice vote.) Any
opposition? (None)
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: No opposition.
Ms. Schneider: Motion passes.
SELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON AND VICE CHAIRPERSON
Mr. Hull: Next item on our agenda is selection of the new Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. So
in order to move this forward essentially a motion is necessary for the 2017 Chairperson for the
Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission.
Mr. Long: I would like to make a motion that we nominate Victoria Wichman as the next
Chairperson for the KHPRC.
Ms. Griffin: Second.
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: I'm sorry just to clarify I suggest maybe if we open up nominations and so
we can receive nominations and then we can go through it one by one going through there. So first
I would think we need, so Chair you would just announce that the nominations are now in order
and there is no need to be seconds.
Ms. Schneider: We don't need a second for it. So we do have Victoria. Is there any other
nominations.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes

Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: Ok if none then I would suggest that you receive a motion to close the

each nomination.
Mr. Hull: So the vote was to close nominations and now the official vote.

select our Vice Chair. Do I have a motion... nominations are in order for the selection of Vice
Chair.
Ms. Griffin: I nominate Deatri Nakea in absentia.
Ms. Wichman: Are there any further nominations? So if none can I have a motion to close
nominations?
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we close nominations.
Ms. Griffin: Second.
Ms. Wichman: Any opposed? (None.) Any opposed? (None.) And the motion carries. And the
nominations are now closed. So Deatri Nakea is now our new Vice Chair.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 4
Ms. Higuchi Saye ug_sa: We have to vote on her.
Mr. Hull: That was the motion to close.
Ms. Wichman: So Deatri Nakea has been nominated as the Vice Chair and is there a request for
secret ballot vote? (None.) if not we will proceed with the vote for her nomination. All those in

agenda items.
Ms. Wichman: Ok would anybody from the public like to testify on any agenda item at this time?
Seeing none. Thank you.
NEW BUSINESS
Re: Mr. Mary S. Rice Beach House
Mr. Hull: Ok the next agenda item is K.2. Mrs. Mary S. Rice Beach House, TMK: 3-1-001:003,
Kipu Road, Kipu Kai, Kauai. A proposed nomination to the Hawaii Register of Historic Places
and the National Register of Historic Places. I believe there is a consultant here for the applicant.
Mr. Don Hibbard: Aloha. My name is Don Hibbard and Cecile and Janelle are also here from First
Hawaiian Trust, who administer the property for the trust. Excuse me, First Hawaiian Bank not
trust.
Ms. Higuchi Saegusa: Sorry could you step forward and speak into the mic please.
Ms. Cecile Ching: Hi I am Cecile Ching with First Hawaiian Bank and First Hawaiian Bank is the
corporate co -trustee for the John T. Waterhouse Trust,
Mr. Chaffin.- Who are the other trustees?
Ms. Cecile Chun: The individual co -trustees are Gary Wells, Sue Anna Wells, and Sandy
Waterhouse.
Mr. Hibbard: Ok so I was just going to go through the property with you quickly so you could see,
I believe you have in your packet the photographs of the property. So I will sort of go through.
The first one on top shows the property from looking down from the entry road. The area that is
going to be registered is nominated is all right over here. And it will go out as far as this building
right here and include this area all right there. Plus there are several buildings that you cannot see
cause they are on the side of the mountain. They are actually structures, mainly the water ones.
The second one shows the current buildings and everything on this map is being considered except
number 1, which is further out and we don't have a date on it so I am not sure it's even historic.
The ones over here are all utilitarian. It's the wells the water and electrical generators that support
the homestead. Over here you have the house itself and then a number of other out buildings that
were associated with the ranch. There is 3 more modern buildings that are non-contributing. They
are number S, the manager's home which was built in the 1970's; and the photoelectric which is
all new and put in a few years ago; and the third building...
Mr. Chaffin: We have a number of photographs in our packet.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 6
Mr. Hibbard: I will go through those. And number 17 on top is also non-contributing it's new water
tanks.
Mr. Chaffin: Are you referring to other photographs that are not in our package?
Mr. Hibbard: No this should be in your package.
Mr. Hull: For clarification is that part of the submittal that was originally submitted? Or the
subsequent submittal? Cause we have 2 submittals.
Mr. Hibbard: Both it should be in.
Mr. Hull: Sorry Don do you have the page on say the original submittal?
Ms. Griffin: It's the last colored photo before you get to the drawings.
Mr. Hull: Yes so it's the last colored before you get to the actual plot plans.
Mr. Chaffin: Ok.
Mr. Hibbard: Ok the following photo just shows the house as it looks in relationship to the ocean
and to the mountains. This is a closer image of the house. The house itself was built in 1886. This
whole front part is an addition to the lanai which is definitely before World War II and I suspect
it's either the 20's or the 30's it was added. The main house is the gable roof structure here and
then off to this side is going to be the kitchen wing and a guestroom wing. Here is the side view
which show that better where you can see the gable is original house. The lanai that was added is
off to the right. The house originally was board and batten/tongue and groove. They have
subsequently put T-111 over it to reinforce the walls which is not the most sensitive put it preserves
the house. The windows have also been changed unfortunately.
The next picture in your group shows one of the few pictures we have of the house as it was in the
1890's. They had an Ostridge farm in 1896 so that's the one reason we can date the house, by the
Ostridge. And you can see up there on top of the hill the house and the kitchen wing both being
there. As I said, the integrity on the outside is not ideal, however, on the interior it is very much
there.
Here is what was the original front of the house with the front porch. This one side here is where
that addition of the old lanai was made in, I suspect, the 20's or 3 0's but is very much all there.
The original house. The typical style in the 19 century you will see 3 doors going in. One goes into
a hallway, to either side is a bedroom. Here is just another view. You can see the chamfered posts,
which is very common building finish at the time. They are still there as well as the walls and the
floors are all original as well. So once you step in the house, you are definitely stepping back in
time.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 7
Here is the fireplace. This was added by John T. Waterhouse once he acquired the property in the
early 50's. He acquired it between '48 and '51. The lanai was there already. This is now over 50
years old as well and historic.
Mr. Chaffm: Did he then occupy the house?
Mr. Hibbard: Yes. Here is just another view showing the porch relationship to the lanai and again
you can see the doorways going in and the original windows are still in place as well. The middle
door goes into what they now call the library but originally, I believe, it was just a hallway area
which would have been typical at the time. As you can see it is pretty much intact still. Another
view looking the other way. You can see all the original wood is still there.
This is one of the rear bedrooms. The walls are all still intact. At some point, well beyond/before
1967 probably either in the 50's or the 30's they applied Masonite to the ceiling finish. Here is a
view of just another one of the bedrooms. You can see it's a very modest single wall structure
which is very much intact. As of typical in 19th century the kitchen was separate from the main
living area and that's this wing going out this way. And it to, the dining room has all the original
walls, the original floor, and you can still see the 5 panel doors that were used that area still intact.
At some point, which I imagine is in the 50's the rear of the dining room had the wood sliding
doors put in. Just from the style I am guessing that it is the 50's. The kitchen was remodeled at
that time also. It still has its original cabinetry from the 50's as well as the wood counter tops. And
then beyond the kitchen there was a series of 3 bedrooms which I believe was used for guests.
Board and batten outside. The interiors are all intact in these rooms. They have canec ceilings,
Masonite walls. These openings are just screens.
Also on the property there is a number of utilitarian structures. After Jack Waterhouse got the
property he started to improve it. He brought in water and electricity among other things. There is
a reservoir on the property with 2 cisterns which is not being used right now. It's on the hillside
when you first go up but it's still there and it still holds water.
Mr. Chaffin: What is the source of water?
Mr. Hibbard: They have a well and that's the next picture. This is the pump house for the well and
the I beam structure behind it was what held up the drill when they drilled the well. They just
didn't take it down afterwards. And until you go there, and I didn't stop to think about the difficulty
of getting materials there especially before the road. The road was built by Mr. Waterhouse in the
postwar period during the early 1950's. So before that it was only trail and the trail wasn't even
big enough to accommodate a carriage. So essentially you went in by horseback.
Also over on that side of the hill is a generator house. Another very simple corrugated iron
structure. The generator is still inside and they have just gone over to photoelectric a couple of
year and the generators are still there as backup. Right below the generator is a little house where
they store the diesel fuel that runs the generators.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 8
Also on the property there are 3 other houses. One house the caretaker lives in it. It's from the
1970's so that is considered noncontributing cause it's too new. This home was built in the early
50's and still stands on the property and it is very much intact on the interior. It has all the red
wood tongue and groove walls. The kitchen is intact. It has mahogany cabinetry and, I am sorry I
don't have the picture but you can't really see but it has picture windows on 2 sides with wood
louvers underneath for ventilation. You can find in a lot of subdivision houses as well.
The other house is also there. They are both all cowboy houses and I think they are used for people
living on the property. This one the tax office has 1896 as the date. I don't know if it is really that
old but the next picture shows the interior which is all board and batten walls and so I said it could
be '96. I am pretty sure it's at the latest 1929 or '30. And also the doors, they still have all the
original doors which are 5 panels and actually I have another picture I just took today, there is also
some 4 panel doors which I do associate more with the late 19'h century early 20h' century. So the
house, I believe, if it's not 1896 it's pretty close.
Also on the property at the far end is the big maintenance building. This was built in the 1950's
and is all corrugated metal and they used that. The next picture shows the interior of that which is
all a steel frame and they use it for equipment and storage. Also on the property are 2 other CMU
buildings which date from the 1950's and for ranch use at the time. This building, I am sorry I
couldn't find the building of the one across. There is 2 right next to each other and the other one
was used originally as a milk barn and the has a tact house inside and they are now used for storage.
And so that's essentially all that's encompassing the nomination. It's around 30 acres of land. So
it's the house and the ancillary support structures that go with the house. I think it's an important
building although it has been compromised in some ways and in many ways it's very much intact.
When I was trying to get a count of building on Kauai from the 19th century. I could come up with
10 including this one and that's the next pictures. You have Waioli Mission and the mission houses
next to it. You have Stone Church in Waimea. The Gulick -Rowell House in Waimea. Grove Farm
here in Lihue. The Queen Emma's House in Lawai, which some people has questioned whether
that's the original or not but I will give it as part of the 10. And the Wilcox Residence over in
Hanalei, which is the beach cottage from the 1890's. The only other ones I don't have photos of
and I have somewhere but I couldn't find them, the Robinson Homestead just before Waimea and
I don't even know the Gay Residence which was out that side. I went looking for it the last time I
was on Kauai but couldn't find it. So I don't know if that's still standing or if anybody else knows
if that's standing any more. But that's the only 19th century buildings. The Russian fort if you
want to call it a building but that's the only ones I know of on Kauai. So I think just in itself it's
important as a reminder of the last century.
The house we are nominating for its associations with the history of recreation. The fact that it was
a beach house and its associations with being used as a retreat away from civilization and also for
its association with ranching. It was part of the William Hyde Rice Ranch and then essentially
when Waterhouse bought it, he broke it off and it became the Kipu Kai Ranch. And so for those
reasons we are nominating it. Oh and one last picture which I liked a lot. I found this in one of the,
they have little books for guests to sign but it showed the difficulty of getting in. It was called the
trip over and they were going up the mountain and back down the mountain by horseback. And
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 9
that was essentially and it had it has a certain mystic about of its own, Kipu Kai, it is a very isolated
place. It's a place that is relatively difficult to get too and I think it's part of the story of Kauai's
history.
Ms. Wichman: Ok thank you Mr. Hubbard, Hibbard sorry. I have a question please for you. You
mentioned the 30 acres of land. Now is that to be included in the nomination as well?
Mr. Hibbard: That is.
Ms. Wichman: It is?
Mr. Hibbard: Yes the buildings stand on that land.
Ms. Wichman: I also understand eventually after the last Waterhouse passes, this would become
part of the State?
Mr. Hibbard: Yes that is correct. Do you want to talk about that subject?
Ms. Ching: Yes there is a deed of open space easement that has already been executed with the
State as the grantee and they will take over upon the termination of the trust.
Mr. Hibbard: Which will terminate when the last of the nieces and nephews die.
Ms. Ching: Right.
Ms. Wichman: Does anybody else have questions? Stephen.
Mr. Long: I have a couple of questions and comments. Is the 30 acres that the property sits on, is
that the total extent of the lot of record?
Mr. Hibbard: Excuse me?
Mr. Long: The 30 acre lot that the home sits on, is that the total area of the lot of record?
Mr. Hibbard: No. It's all one parcel at this time. So we are just taking a piece of that parcel.
Mr. Long: Ok so that 30 acres is being taken out of the larger piece?
Mr. Hibbard: Yes. It's a little over eleven hundred acres.
Ms. Chin: It's actually, the total is 1,094 acres is the entire parcel.
Mr. Long: I do have a comment about the drawings in the application and I see that they are hand
drawn and noted not to scale. So at a very minimum it would be nice to have a graphic scale on
the drawings.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 10
Mr. Hibbard: For nominations, the floor plans are not required. We put them in as a curtesy so that
people can get a sense of the layout of the property. I had this discussion with the Review Board a
number of times and to get them to scale, to get measured drawings is going to be way more
expensive than the cost of preparing the whole nomination.
Mr. Long: Right, I understand and are floor plans and exterior elevations really just a curtesy?
They are not required as part of the application?
Mr. Hibbard: Correct,
Mr. Long: I just have a personal feeling that on such an important structure that dimensioned floor
plans and exterior elevations would be informative as a documentary measure and an informative
measure.
Mr. Hibbard: Right. Nominations they are a form of documentation but if you want documentation
then they have another whole program. The Historic American Building Survey Program which
goes out and documents structures. They will do measured drawings. There is a number of
buildings on Kauai that it has happened to already. But then they usually send out a team of 4
people, usually students, under the direction of an architect and that's a totally different process.
But yes I agree it would be a good idea to have the house documented at some point. I think it's
onerous to have it attached to a nomination cause essentially the nomination is just do we recognize
this as historic or not.
Ms. Wichman: Any other questions? Pat.
Ms. Griffin: It is indeed one of the few properties that has amongst the structures pre 20a` century.
We have run across a few smaller houses in researching the inventory but they are scares indeed.
But I am troubled you know when we look at character defining features we start with the walls
the windows and the roof, sometimes the doors and you have mentioned it a couple of times. And
that's what most people in registered buildings, it's what most people would see is the exterior. So
can you talk a little bit more on why you mention the interior is a substantially intact.
Mr. Hibbard: Yes. I think it's the interior but for integrity there is seven. You have setting. You
have feelings and associations. I find all of these are exceptionally strong and quite often we
overlook setting. Here the setting is still pristine which many other places where the building itself
is pristine but the setting is now gone. So I think that, that's part of it. The materials are all still
there but you cannot see them from the outside. But same with the design. I think there is a lot to
be learned from the building that does recall the past and yes ideally I would not want the wall, the
T-11 I that has been clad on the building or the standing seam roofs but when I look at the whole
building as a whole I can overlook that just on the grounds that it is here. It's been standing here
for a t40 years. Is that right? 120 years and just that alone that there is this sense of that time allows
me to overlook some of these detriments and I also look at it and say ok its keeping the building
the way that it is and these are elements that can be remedied. You can go back and put a corrugated
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 11
room on the building. You can go back and remove the T-I I I cause the walls are all still there. So
I feel that it is something, yes it's not ideal but I think that it is something that can be worked with.
Ms. Griffin: Did the openings, the window configuration, do you know Don if that changed when
they were replaced?
Mr. Hibbard: No, not when they were replaced. It was prior to that and originally that front lanai
looks like it was, I have one old picture which I didn't take a picture of but I just did today had
rectangular openings so at some point they enclosed those and it was the same where you had big
on one side and small on the other. So the fenestration as far as the placement of the openings are
still all intact. At least from what I could see from the front elevation. The sides? Who knows. But
I don't see in the building anywhere like on the interior between the front bedrooms and 2 back
bedrooms there was originally doors connecting then and I can very easily see where they were
infilled. I don't see any places along the exterior of the wall that there is infilling of windows and
so at the most they could've made a new window but they didn't take out any old windows.
Ms. Griffin: Thank you.
Ms. Wichman: Any other questions? (None.) Any questions from the public? (None.) If there is
any testimony from the public you are allowed to come up and speak now. Seeing none may we
have a motion.
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we support the proposed nomination to the Hawaii Register
of the Mary S. Rice Beach House.
Ms. Wichman: Ok. Second?
Ms. Griffin: I second.
Ms. Wichman: Any discussion? No discussion. Those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.)
Opposed? (None.) Ok motion carries. Thank you.
Re: Old Kealia School (Alakai O Kauai Public Charter School)
Mr. Hull: Ok the next agenda item is also one of the agenda items that was moved is K.3. Old
Kealia School, TMK: 4-7-003-006, Kealia, Kauai, a proposed reconstruction of the former Island
School building. And I believe there is a representative on behalf of this application.
Ms. Wichman: Ok would the representative for the Old Kealia School please step up. Thank you.
Ms. Kristen Hoshino: Hi I am Krisen Hoshino. I am president of Hookala non-profit for Alakai O
Kauai Public Charter School. It's a kindergarten through 81h grade school but we are going to start
up smaller and build up our enrollment. We need a temporary site and after a lot of research we
found the old Island School has an entitlement and it would enable to get our school started in time
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 12
for the next school year which we really need to start then. If we don't start next year we lose a lot
of our base of support. If we don't follow the following year then we lose our Charter and we don't
ever open the school. So it is very important that we get the school open on time. There is 165
families that have pledged that they want to enroll their children there. It's a tuition free school. It
is funded by the State and we also, through the non-profit, are pursuing grants which are also from
the State.
So ultimately the school is going to be paid for by the State and through our lease payments and
things like that we would like to keep our cost down. We found this building and the owner's
representative has been working with us. They have a contractor and an architect and so there is
already a design for this building and we just came along at the right time and they said well we
actually don't need to use the building for the next 3 to 5 years which is the amount of time that
you need the building but we could go ahead and renovate it now then you can use and we can
have it restored and not a crumbling building on the side of the road anymore and increase the
property values and give the place for the kids to have their school. After an extensive search we
have found nothing else. So we are really hoping for this. It looks like it was built in 1919 and was
part of the sugar plantation. It sat empty since 1991 and it's falling apart completely.
So I have pictures from the site. These are pictures taken in the past month. Pictures outside you
can see there is holes in walls, holes in the roof It look like the sub floor was pretty decent. The
inside of the school was a lot of dry rot and just not really salvageable to anybody's opinion that
has seen it. So we would really like to do whatever we can most efficiently and that is keeping
with the historical standards for a building of this type. The need is there for the children to have
a school as quickly as possible. We would just like to find out the best route to that.
The building design by John Underwood is like Kapaa Town. The facade, the elevations are similar
to that. It wasn't design to replicate the old Island School but we are open to going back to that
design if it's felt that it is needed. Some of the changes were made because of the cost. The roof,
the shed roof would be cheaper for the Charter School to be able to afford and the deck was added
for extra space. We will have a lot of kids and having some extra room to run around would be
great but I am not sure if that's going to be permitted with the Planning Department. We have to
stay in the same footprint. That is kind of outside of that. So that might be in addition later on if
we have to go through the permitting process. So we are not trying to build a modern building but
we are trying to build something quickly for these families in Kapaa who need this school.
Ms. Wichman: Are there any questions from the commissioners?
Ms. Schneider: So the building that you are showing that is in the rendering is not actually the
building that you are going to build?
Ms. Hoshino: Well we have some flexibility at this point. This is just conceptual and then our
architect, John Underwood, is here listening in to the recommendations. It's what we have right
now but we could go back to the old design. It might take a little longer to build with that type of
roof and it might cost more. But you know there is lots of different design elements that we could
keep or not keep and we are here to kind of find out what we need to do.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes

Ms. Wichman: Stephen.
Mr. Long: So what's the purpose of you coming before our commission?
Mr. Hull: So to give a little background. So kind of in a nutshell what this charter school is looking
for is they have a fairly narrow window to get open school to facilitate children under the
application that was approved by the Charter Commission. So they started knocking on the
Planning Department doors to see what the process is to entitle a schools site for which any new
school site requires, in any zoning district, a review by the Planning Commission a Use Permit
so to speak. Which is from application acceptance is a 5 to 12 month process which basically did
not meet their window of opening a school to children. So The next option they essentially began
entertaining was looking at places that already had the entitlement, ie the permit to operate a school
on the grounds that school operations are no longer occurring but had the land use entitlement.
So they had been looking at a few sites and this is one of the sites that popped up essentially as
having the entitlement for the school, ie Use Permit for a school operation and they could utilize
that existing use permit to run their charter school. They would have to operate within the
parameters that, that use permit was given but they could utilize it essentially. Now this is a
historical structure. It's not on the registry but it's an historical structure. So because of that they
are here essentially before the KHPRC for the review of the application.
Ms. Schneider: But they have to stick to that footprint? The existing building's footprint?
Mr. Hull: For the land use entitlement, correct.
Ms. Griffin: So has there been a demolition application?
Mr. Hull: At this point there hasn't been a demolition application. I think what the applicant is
essentially saying is that when they knocked on this landowner's door they had design already in
place for a future tenant to one day build there. This essentially is the design and as I understand
it, correct me if I am wrong, is that the kind of agreement is they have monies to build and they
could potentially build the structure and utilize it for 3 to 5 years for the charter school and they
have plans to later on relocate to a much more larger ground to accommodate larger capacity. But
that's an original plan from a tenant that in the future is looking at building. So they are proposing
saying can we construct this building on this site essentially in our discussions with the applicant
and their contractor/architect the structure costs more to essentially salvage and renovate it then it
is to demolish it and put up a new structure. So essentially that is what they are here for your review
of. Correct me if I made any...
Ms. Hoshino: No that was is. That was great. Thank you.
Ms. Griffin: Yea and I have to say I was a little confused when I was reading this because our job
is with the historic structure and like any group words mean things a little differently in
preservation circles than they do elsewhere. So when it was talking about reconstructing, I brought
the Secretary of Interior Standards and reconstruction it talks about depicting by means of new
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 14
construction. The form, features, and detailing of a non -surviving site, landscape, building for the
purpose of replicating its appearance at a specific period of time and its historic location. So this
proposed looks really attractive and I can imagine hearing the little feet running across that lanai.
But it doesn't really fulfill that term of reconstruction with would then simply take us to
demolition. But I understand now the pinch you are in, in needing to have the same footprint and
that seems to is a little beyond our scope.
Mr. Hull: Well essentially you are correct, Commissioner Griffin, that the building that they are
proposing to construct at least on these preliminary doesn't replicate and doesn't reconstruct under
the Department of Interior Standards of a historic structure. Whether you want to comment,
whether this body wants to comment on the proposed new structure or not comment is essentially,
it's at your will if you will.
Ms. Griffin: Personally, I think if we were to comment about the new structure we would be guided
by personal taste rather than historic standards. So I don't feel comfortable. I don't know how the
rest of the commissioners feel about that but it doesn't seem to be within our kuleana to discuss a
new design and a new structure.
Mr. Long: Except that's what I would like to do. I understand from looking at the photos and the
description that the existing buildings is beyond use and demolition is appropriate. Attractiveness
is a personal thing and I don't feel, like Pat feels that we can't really comment on personal
attractiveness. I will make this comment, it's that the proposed new building as presented to us has
virtually nothing to do with this scale, the design, or the architectural detailing of the existing
historic structure. So just as a personal comment you know it's sort of nice to pick up on those
local, historical, architectural aspects of what was there before.
Ms. Schneider: Is the reason for using this design because they had it and it was available?
Ms. Hoshino: Pretty much. We've already opened enrollment application period and we can't
change our timeline and also you know we are not going to be there forever. So I don't know if
we are the ones to decide what's going to sit on that land forever. We are open to building the way
it was but if there is not a need to do that, you know something that would be a little more
functional. I don't know cheaper rent for us too but mainly the speed in which it can be constructed
is my concern with the roof and drawings.
Ms. Wichman: Is there any more discussion from the commissioners?
Ms. Sandra McCloskey: My name is Sandra McCloskey. I represent the contractor and I also
represent the future tenant of the property. That is how JM Pacific Construction got involved with
this project is that we are cacao farmers also and this is part of the whole Kealia project. Having a
place to grow our cacao as a leasehold and then going in to this building as a future tenant we
thought we had 3 years down the road and the owner really wasn't familiar if it was going to have
to go through all of the different protocols that it has to go through with it being historical or not.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 15
So what we did as part of our business plan we submitted this drawing that we had in front of you
with all the decks and you know we were making it really nice and enticing for the owner when
we got approached about the charter school, the charter school superseded what we really wanted
for ourselves and the future we realize that Kauai, we got to put more time and energy into our
keiki and we are willing to build a school in the very short amount of time.
So time is of the essence and we are willing to take away, our architect is here today to support
this project, basically all we would have to do is take away those decks and exchange that roofline
back into the gable roof that it is. You know that it is right now with just the way the structure is
right now. We are will to do that. The architect is going to push up trying to help us so that we can
get the school built anyway possible. It needs a stamp of approval somewhere down the line
because it's supposedly an historical building.
We met with Anna today at the site and even though you can see how badly dilapidated the building
is. It's terrible, you know we will save whatever we just need instructions. Save the foundations.
Save whatever it takes and then build the structure but time is of the essence and we need just need
to know what do you want us to do there because we are willing to do it and sacrifice the design
that we had done already by our architect. So get away from what you are seeing in the picture.
That it was a hope and desire to take over a building 5 years down the road but it is not necessarily
what has to be right now. We need to know what you want from us and that is the only thing that
we are trying to do is accomplish right at this moment is to try to get a charter school there. And
so anything that you can do to help us to that would be awesome.
Ms. Wichman: Any comments from the commissioners?
Mr. Chaffin: It seems to me that you are asking us to approve something and if the building
inspector during construction says no you come back and say this is what the commission
approved. You are caught in a difficult place.
Ms. McCloskey: Well we have to conform. I am sure that there are certain things like ADA access.
It's not on the old school. It has to be on the new one. It's single wall construction. It's not on the
old school but it has to be on the new one. We are willing to make the building conform granted
we have a great source to do this but we don't know how long that option is going to be out there
for us. We will conform. There is no doubt about it. It's just getting past this process so we can do
what we always do in construction is to build a nice building that Kauai will be proud of. Our
children will have a school. And you know Mayor is wanting to cut the ribbon on it so we would
really like to have, at least the opportunity and not just shut it down right here. If there is something
that needs to be approved I can't stress to you enough this is just a small window of opportunity
that we are able to do this.
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: So one of the duties of this commission is to provide assistance and advice
to the respective government agencies that may have to oversee any other part of this project and
the applicant does seem to be coming here under own accord to get your input and your advice on
any of your experience and expertise in the area of historic preservation and so I think if there is
any input that you guys could afford them then that might be what's relevant.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 16
Ms. Schneider: Is it easier for us to recommend something if it was reflective of the old building.
It's not. We are asked to look at a new building that really isn't old and really isn't our purview.
Mr. Hull: I think what Jodi is getting at is essentially that along the lines of what Commission
Long was saying if there are certain historical elements you want to comment that should be
incorporated into the building. Or if there is an outright opposition against the building or if there
is outright support against the building and also to Commissioner Griffin's point if it there is no
comment there is also to that effect there would be just a motion to receive essentially. We have
received this report and essentially have no comment. You folks have an array of different
opportunities. It is ultimately what the will of the commission as a body is.
Ms. Griffin: It sounds. I mean we are advisory and certainly the regulations within the Planning
Department trump any advice of ours and it sounds to me that the school, to keep that entitlement,
there is a fairly rigid requirement that is beyond us in terms of the footprint and the reconstruction
rather than a redesign. I think the issue for us isn't the school. It sounds like you all are great
partnership together and all. I am grappling with what the Planning Department regulations are
and what kind of input that is left for us.
Mr. Hull: So ultimately the Planning Department would sign off on amendment to their Class IV
Zoning Permit and Use Permit. If in so far as they presented it and it keeps within the original
proposal. There wasn't, in reviewing their original Class IV and Use Permit, there wasn't any
design standards imposed by the Planning Commission so there is latitude for them to have a
different design for that. However, in administering the zoning permit the Department would look
at input that this body gives as to whether or not it would be a requirement to sign off on their
building permit. And so like all zoning permits that you folks are advisory to the Planning
Department, the Department takes your input and determines if it is going to incorporate it as a
whole, all of the recommendations, in part, or not at all into our conditions of approval as we sign
off on their permit. So whatever comes out of this body, if anything does, the Department intakes
that and determines what extent it we'll enforce it, essentially. And for clarity that goes for the
over the counter zoning permits when is a new Class IV Zoning/Use Permit your recommendations
go to the Planning Commission and they go through the same calculus of do we incorporate the
KHPRC recommendations as a whole, in part, or not at all essentially.
Ms. Wichman: Anne?
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we just receive for informational purposes only.
Ms. Wichman: Ok a motion has been made. Is there a second?
Ms. Griffin: Second.
Ms. Wichman: Any discussion? Ok, hearing no discussion we shall vote. How many are in favor?
(Unanimous voice vote.) Any opposed? None. So this passes. Thank you. Thank you very much.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND GENERAL BUSINESS MATTERS
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is announcements and general business. The Commission is in
receipt of, excuse me where did it go? So for clarification items K.2. and K.3. were adjusted to be
handled before announcements in the adjustments to the agenda. So now we continue on the
agenda as established. So the next one is agenda item H, which is announcements and general
business matters.
The Department submitted an addendum memorandum that you folks should in front of you which
has an email from Communications Officer Mary Daubert for the County of Kauai that gives notice
of the US Postal Service to end service at the Lihue Post Office which is a structure on the State
and National Registry. The proposal appears as not to demolish the structure but just to end service
there and they are taking public comment until February 8a'. So this announcement here is
essentially for the dissemination to the commissioners because the comment or the publication was
only made aware to us within the past 2 days we couldn't put it on the agenda for an actual agenda
item for this body to take action on but we felt it prudent indeed to have it here as an announcement.
If there is some sort of discussion, I am sure Jodi is going to (laughter in the background).
Ms. Wichman: Is there any discussion?
Mr. Hull: Jodi may allow, I think to a certain extent, informative statements to be made.
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: Any other announcements?
Mr. Hull: Or announcements.
Ms. Griffin: I think this doesn't, it's worth in this commission noting that the building is on the
State and National Registers of Historic Places and you can read more in a book called "Lihue",
pages 100 to 105.
Mr. Hull: But yes it is there for comment. Like I said because we couldn't agenda this no official
comments can come from this body but for informative purposes any member of the public,
including yourselves as public members, can comment on it of course. The next agenda item. Oh
I am sorry.
Mr. Long: I have an observation comment. That is I understand the Postal Service and
Governmental Agencies needing to reshuffle their workforce and their facilities. As someone that
professionally has experience in historical post office renovations and adaptive reuse projects and
feel that US Post Offices are particularly well suited to that type of adaptive reuse development
and we saw that in Washington DC with President Trump's renovation of the post office there. So
it would be nice to see the Federal Government pursue a sale and acquisition program as opposed
to a demolition program.

UNFINISHED 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 Unfinished Business items J.1. Proposed draft rules of practice
and procedure for the County of Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission. So at the last
meeting in November the Department submitted to you folks a draft of potential administrative
rules for you folks to operate under. Currently this body does not have any rules in which it
operates in a de facto manner under Roberts Rules. So to just take care of that we have submitted
a draft to you folks and essentially you guys were taking it home to see if you had any comments
or recommended edits or changes to be made. So that's what it's back here for. Ultimately, if there
are no edits or if the edits are made and adjusted the Department with the County Attorney's Office
is required to submit it to the Small Business Regulatory Review Board over on Oahu for a public
hearing there prior to holding a public hearing official for the rules with the body.
Ms. Wichman: Pat.
Ms. Griffin: I made some comments last month and I see that they had not been. So chapter 2, 121
organization still shows that a the. regular September meeting of each year the Commission shall
elect a chairperson and vice chairperson and I am not sure of the rest but it's in the minutes.
Mr. Hull: My apologies. You did make those recommended changes and we had intended to make
those adjustments and I didn't. Sorry, I apologize but we do intend to put those in.
Ms. Wichman: Ok thank you. Any other comments, discussions?
Ms. Higuuchi Sa. eregusa: Perhaps a motion, suggestion for a motion is to I guess I don't know if
ordain is the right word but to approve Kaaina and I to go ahead and make a submittal to the Small
Business Regulatory Review Board so that they can cause under State Statute, HRS Chapter 201m,
any effects on small business has to be reviewed by the board. So they are reviewing again for the
small business effects on the rules create. I jumbled that up but in any case we have to go to Oahu,
go before the board and they have to review it and make comments if there is any. So, again, it
would be a motion to allow I guess Kaaina and myself to go and take it before the Small Business
Regulatory Review Commission.
Ms. Wichman: Ok do I have a motion?
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion for Kaaina and Jodi to go the SBA to have the rules approved
with Commissioner Griffin's amendments as stated.
Ms. Wichman: Ok do we have a second?
Mr. Chaffin: Second.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 19
Ms. Wichman: Ok any discussion? (None.) Ok will there be any public testimony to this?
Ms. Griffin: We have a motion on the floor.
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: We do. There is a motion. No second yet. There is a motion. No second
yet.
Ms. Griffin: Larry second it.
Ms. Higuchi SUegusa: Sorry. You can withdraw that and then open it to public testimony if there
is any. So sorry withdraw the second and then withdraw your motion.
Mr. Chaffin: I withdraw my second.
Ms. Schneider: I withdraw my motion.
Ms. Wichman: Ok is there any testimony from the public? Ok not at this time. So may I have a
motion?
Ms. Schneider: I'll restate the motion that Jodi and Kaaina should go to the SBA to have the rules
approved with Pat's amendments.
Ms. Wichman: And a second? From Larry thank you. Any discussion with the Commissioners?
(None,) Ok can I have a vote, those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) Any opposed? (None.) Ok
therefore it passes.
Re: Discussion on the status of the Certified Local Government
Mr. Hull: Ok the next is agenda item J.2., Discussion on the Status of the Certified Local
Government. I believe there is a representative from State Historic Preservation Division.
Ms. Anna Broverman: Hello Madame Chair and Commission. I am Anna Borverman. I am the
Architectural Historian with the State Historic Preservation Division. First, I wanted to update the
Commission on the status of the 2016 CLG Grant funds. Our grants administrator just put forth
the project notification for the Hanapepe Bridge Nomination Project to NPS. So it's currently for
review there and I will let you all know through Myles and Kaaina whenever we hear back from
NPS on that approval.
Secondly, the fiscal year for 2017 has started and I have discussed with the planners from all 3
Certified Local Governments about splitting up the grant funds evenly between the 3 CLGs to help
everybody plan better to know how many funds they can expect every year and so it's roughly
about $19,000.00 for each CLG every fiscal year. I would like to know if the Commission has any
comments on that?
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 20
Ms. Wichman: Commissioners? Ok no comments.
Ms. Broverman: Ok secondly, I am currently writing the policies and procedures for the CLG
program and as part of that I am laying out the process for the Commission to review National
Register nominations, all the things the Commission is legally required to do per Federal laws and
it's almost like a guidance document for the Commission. It will also help explain the grant process
better and as part of that I am removing the requirement where the CLG has to match the Federal
grants by 40%. So I am hoping by taking away that 40% grant requirement it will allow more
projects to be done. So does the Commission have any comments on that?
Ms. Wichman: Commissioners?
Ms. Schneider. Sounds good to me.
Ms. Wichman: Ok no comments.
Ms. Broverman: Ok and lastly, I have received the final draft from Mason ,Architects for the
Statewide Architectural Survey of Hawaii for our first year. So I am currently reviewing that and
I will make sure to give a copy to the Commission whenever it is complete.
Ms. Wichman: Thank you Anna. Stephen.
Mr. Long: I have a question. Was that for the historic districts?
Ms. Broverman: Yes, that was the study that was created with the legislative funds that we received
in 2015. So that survey took part last year and now we are starting the second round this year.
Mr. Long: I have an additional neighborhood that I would like to nominate to have taken a look at
on the second round.
Ms. Broverman: Ok.
Mr. Long: I believe it's Kaohe Road off of Kalihiwai Road looking into Kalihiwai Bay with a
number of Hickey Homes that were built immediately after the ' 57 tsunami that wiped out the
general store and the gas station down in Kalihiwai Bay. Those homes were built by Amfac and
Hickey overlooking Kalihiwai Bay and a number of prominent Kuleana families like the Akana
family still have homes up there and they are still really intact. It really a lovely neighborhood so
I think we want to take a look at it.
Ms. Broverman: Great. Thank you very much. Does the Commission have any more questions for
me?
Ms. Wichman: Commissioners? Pat.
Ms. Griffin: When do you think you will have the rules together?
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 21
Ms. Broverman: So the policies I just finished writing I think it was yesterday and I have sent it to
National Parks Service for a preliminary review. They said they were looking at it this weekend
so I am hoping I will have a copy by March at the latest. I would like to get it to the Commission
for the February meeting if possible. I am trying to do it quickly so that the ' 17 grant projects won't
need that match.
Ms. Griffin: Great. Thanks.
Ms. Wichman: Any other discussion, questions? Ok thank you very much Anna.
Ms. Broverman: Thank you.
Mr. Hull: So there would need to be a motion to receive Anna's testimony for the record.
Ms. Wichman: Ok. Do we have a motion to receive Anna's testimony?
Mr. Chaffin: I make a motion to receive Anna's testimony as given.
Ms. Griffin: Second.
Ms. Wichman: Any discussion? Ok all those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) Any opposed?
(None.) Motions passes. Thank you.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is agenda item K.I. Garden Island Service Station, TMK: 3-6-
006:089, 3-3178 Kuhio Highway, Lihue, Kauai. Proposed demolition of gas station built in 1930.
I believe we have a representative for the applicant.
Mr. Jon Lucas: Hi I am Jon Lucas from Palms Hawaii Architecture. I am here just to hear your
comments and field them for the owner as I am just representing the Owner's agent from Palms
Hawaii Architecture.
Ms. Wichman: Any questions from the Commission?
Mr. Hull: Just some background for the Commission if you are not familiar. The structure, the
Shell Gas Station in Lihue has been before this body before for a demolition permit. There was
considerable discussion had when that application was brought last year some time, or the year
before. Ultimately after the discussion at some point a month or 2 after the applicant decided to
withdraw the demolition application. Since that time they have decided to reup the demolition
application so that is why it is back to you folks again. If you feel like this is de ja vu. It is because
it has come here before.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 22
Ms. Wichman: Commissioner any comments, questions?
Mr. Chaffin: Where is the right of way in relation to that structure?
Mr. Hull: The State highway you mean?
Mr. Chaffin: Right.
Mr. Hull: It is directly adjacent to it. So you can see in the photos, so you drive down the highway
here and you will run right into it on your right hand side driving toward Hanalei.
Mr. Chaffin: Run right into it, then it's in the...
Mr. Hull: It's directly on your right has you drive down the highway. Right next to the No. 1 cafd.
Ms. Wichman: Any other questions, comments, concerns?
Ms. Griffin: I have some questions. I notice that the application, the demolition, is dated 2015.
Was it not updated? Oh and the response from the State Historic Preservation was 2015 as well.
Mr. Hull: Sorry, for the Commission's edifications we included the old application as well as the
comments that SHPD made to that original demolition application. But to be clear, SHPD hasn't
commented on the renewed demolition application.
Ms. Griffin: But it's the same?
Mr. Hull: It's the same plan essentially to demolish. Correct.
Ms. Griffin: I noticed in the zoning permit application that Shell is saying that they have at least a
75% property interest but then further on it says that it's joint owner with the Weinberg Foundation
and I wondered about that relationship.
Mr. Lucas: I am not aware of the exact allocation of the percentage of ownership but I can take
that request and find that information and get back to you. I am not aware of that information at
current time.
Ms. Griffin: You know I do find, this is such an important building in town and it's a little
frustrating not to have somebody who can talk and respond because the building shouldn't come
down. It is an integral part of that block and it's in our Lihue District Community Plan that was
finished last year or so. It is listed on page 33 as one of the historic places that exist Kuhio Highway
Commercial Strip. In our town, well so I would like to have more of a discussion about finding
ways to retain the building and I don't know how we can do that. Is there a time limit that we can
come back next month?
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 23
Mr. Hull: Yes there is no, the zoning permit hasn't been intaken and as such there is no time limit
as this point. As a condition of acceptance of the zoning permit we require that comments from
this body to be made first and received by the applicant prior to intaking their zoning permit. Once
we intake their zoning permit there is a clock, there is a 21 day clock that we have to either deny
or appove and essentially there is not much we can do with the zoning permit to actually deny it
though.
Ms. Schneider: Is it possible to have the applicant's representative rather than the architect but
somebody from Shell come and speak to us why they want to demolish it.
Mr. Hull: I think you can ask Jon that very thing.
Mr. Lucas: I could ask the applicant to come forth and...
Ms. Schneider: So that we can make some kind of presentation about why we would like to retain
the building if possible.
Mr. Lucas: Sure. I totally understand. That makes sense to me.
Ms. Griffin: Cause even the demolition assumes another building there and the plans that we were
given show a building that doesn't conform to the Ordinance that follows the Lihue Town Core or
Urban Design Plan and it certainly doesn't, specifically in the keeping with the context of the
historic structures around it. And I don't want to shoot the messenger, Mr. Lucas, but I feel like it
would be unfair to try to put you in a position to answer these and have a reasonable discussion
about such an important building.
Mr. Hull: Yes so ultimately if that request is being made for the applicant to have somebody
specifically from Oahu come over here and have the discussion, I think that request can be made
and essentially you would defer until the next meeting to have that request either be met or not
essentially.
Ms. Wichman: Anymore discussion Commissioners?
Ms. Schneider: I make a motion that we defer further discussion on this application till we get a
chance to speak to somebody from Shell if possible.
Ms. Wichman: Do we have a second?
Ms. Griffin: Second.
Ms. Wichman: All those in favor? (Unanimous voice vote.) Any opposed? (None.) This motion
passes.

KAUAI HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY UPDATE COMMITTEE
Mr. Hull: The next agenda item is the Kauai Historic Resource Inventory Update Committee. An
update on the permitted interaction group for updating the Kauai Historic Resource Inventory. Did
the group meet since the last meeting?
Ms. Wichmann: No.
Mr. Hull: Then my apologies in setting up the agenda. If the group hadn't met then we shouldn't
have actually had that agenda item. So I guess there is no report to give at this time.
Ms. Griffin: Is it possible to set another date now since it is an agenda item?
Mr. Hull: Yes.
Ms. Griffin: I look at you because if it is possible to set another date.
Ms. Wichman: The date would be up to Myles.
Ms. Griffin: For the inventory?
Mr. Hironaka: Yes.
Ms. Wichman: So Myles would you send an email to us so we can discuss which date we might?
Ok thank you.
Mr. Long: I have a comment. We would like to put this back on the fast track schedule. We had
the holidays and people sick but I think as a P I G and also with Commissioner Griffin we would
really like to move forward in an expeditious manner.
Ms. Wichman: Any other discussion on the P I G? On the inventory? No.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
Ms. Wichman: Ok we move on to Historic Preservation Publicity Committee. The update on the
permitted interaction group for publicizing historic preservation efforts and has that group met?
Mr. Hull: I don't believe that, that group has met but the reason we placed it on the agenda was in
discussions with Commissioner Long the desire to at least provide the Commission or begin the
discussion on incentive packages that property owners have for preservation efforts particularly
for the State Registry and National Registry. So in your packet at the very end you have an array
of different exhibits that list the County ordinances as well as the Federal tax incentives for
placement on the historical registry list and essentially, in a nutshell, the County Real Property
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 25
Ordinance will waive, if it's non-profit organization that owns the structure it will waive 100% of
its assessment of that structure that is on the list from taxation or tax assessments. If it's just a
regular individual, not non-profit but a typical homeowner the County of Kauai Real Property
waives 75% of the assessment. So it's a substantial amount that is waived in your real property
taxes for placing on the State or National Registry. There is only a residential structure exemption
under the County of Kauai Tax Code. In our research there is no commercial or other type of
structure tax incentive. That is the tax incentive for the County of Kauai Real Property. Do you
have any questions on that particular issue?
Mr. Lonz: Yes I do have a question. I have read this ordinance and my recollection is that for State
Register of Historic Places that are residences occupied by the homeowner is what would be
considered is what would be considered a home...
Mr. Hull: They have a homeowners exemption as well.
Mr. Long: Would qualify for a homeowners exemption. Not have the homeowner's exemption. If
those real estate taxes could be kept at $150 a year and if it was not their primary residence then
it's discounted.
Mr. Hull: For homeowner occupied there is, I don't know the specific rate it is done at but there is
a specific reduction and cap for the assessment on those properties where the primary occupancy
of the dwelling.
Mr�Lon_g: Right. So these are number, so it's this type of question and clarification that I believe
the public is really looking for. So I have a number of those questions from the public that would
like to get that information and would like to have a format in which to ask the questions and
obtain real specific answers.
Mr. Hull: Well, I mean for the homeowner's exemption this would not be the appropriate forum.
If you want to discuss the historic registry tax assessment, indeed this would be the forum for it.
But things like various incentives for the waiver or caps on tax assessments, ultimately that has to
be coordinated with the Real Property Division. You have a whole array of different types of
waivers and caps on assessments. Everything 'from affordable housing, to a homeowner
occupancy, primary homeowner occupancy, to the age bracket categories of the homeowner that's
occupying the dwelling unit. There is an array but as far as this being the forum for that discussion,
quite frankly, I got to say Commissioner this isn't the appropriate forum. For a specific discussion
on like I said the historic exemptions are given which are fairly substantial at least for residential
further discussion can be had. But that's the only, under the real property code, that's the only
historical exemption that they have right now. We can talk off line about the other things. (Laughter
in the background.)
Mr. Long: Thank you for the clarification. And I can tell you that there are members of the public
that have gone to the assessor's office and asked them certain questions and they have been referred
to the Planning Department. So there is a miscommunication and a lack of coordination and the
information that is being provided to the public on these programs. So just asking for a forum for
January 26, 20 t 7 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 26
clarification and if this is not that specific forum then so be it. But we are in, our P I G, has
responsibility of informing the public about various incentives for their State Historic Preservation
tax exemptions, and the prorated allocations for nonconforming properties, and whether the TVR
Ordinance is overlapped, and has impact from that tax exemption are all real questions that are all
driven by the historic preservation registration. So I don't what the forum is.
Mr. Hull: No, no that is what I was getting at Commissioner. That if it is singled out specifically
under the historic preservation platform and the various incentives available, indeed this is the
appropriate forum and that is why I essentially provided the documents that you are in receipt of.
So you have the County of Kauai Real Property tax waivers as well as I have also attached the
Transient Vacation Rental Ordinance which basically states that transient vacation rentals outside
the visitor destination are strictly prohibited with exception of those properties listed on the State
Historic Registry or the National Historic Registry. That doesn't mean those on the State Historic
Registry can automatically operate a TVR. It just means that they can apply for a use permit to
operate a transient vacation rental and it's the only way now you can essentially look at pursuing
a land use entitlement for a TVR here on Kauai on those properties outside of the VDA. In the
VDA they can run amuck but outside the only way is through a site that has been recognized for
historical preservation on either the State or National Registry.
Mr. Lona: This may not be the format for this particular question and if so please just defer it. But
a question that has been asked is if you place your structure on the State Register of Historic Places
and you obtain the historic tax incentive through the County of Kauai and then you go and through
a use permit successfully obtain a TVR permit for that historic structure then there is a catch 22
such that you have got a residential structure that is now...
Mr. Hull: Not being used for a residential purposes.
Mr. Long: It is being used as a resort. Does that then negate your historic real estate tax exemption?
Mr. Hull: Correct so you would, Commissioners, what Commissioner Long is pointing out is that
under the tax code you get that waivered of 75% to 100% of your assessment if it's on the registry
and among other things. There is another set of criteria including maintaining the site on an annual
basis and recognizing that with the Real Property Division but in particular it also states that the
residence will be used for residential purposes and homeowner occupancy. So you get the waiver
of assessment with registry. On the other hand you can operate a transient vacation rental in an
historically registered site but the second you operate that transient vacation rental you lose out on
the tax assessment waiver. So the residential use is gone. So indeed you cannot have both scenarios
of a TVR and a tax waiver. You would essentially, for a historically registered site, you have to
pick one or the other.
Mr. Long: Thank you. That's excellent clarification. I have another question.
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: Are these a lot of hypotheticals? I just want to make sure we were just sort
of tied into this, an update on the P I G.
January 26, 2017 KHPRC Meeting Minutes
Page 27
Mr._ Long: No I think this is a pertinent observation and statement I am about to make.
Mr. Hull: Jodi I think what the Commissioner is getting at is, that is why those documents were
attached to the agenda, was if there is a desire for the... initially the P I G for publicity purposes
and then the. commission to utilize these documents in some publicity fashion. I am not sure what
it might be. In a public notice. In a pamphlet. In a piece of social media. I am not sure. So the
documents were attached for this discussion.
Mr. Long: Thank you.
Ms. Wichman: Any other discussion?
Ms. Griffin: I have a quick question. Do you know what the thinking was about adding historic
properties to the possibility of utilizing it in TVRs?
Mr. Hull: I actually don't Commissioner. I was surprised to find out that, that entitlement is there.
I am not sure. I would be curious to look back in the minutes of the Council's discussion at that
time. I know there is some hesitancies and we have had applications or applicants come forward
interested in applying for it but nobody has ever actually gone to the Planning Commission. Cause
at the end of the day the entitlement to have a TVR in a registered site is not a ministerial
entitlement. It's not permitted over the counter. It's a discretionary entitlement. It goes before the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission in their discretion will decide whether or not to
award that entitlement to the applicant.
Given that, I'd say much of the issues of nuisance and complaints that have been generated from
transient vacation rentals on this island any application would have to ultimately thread fairly
carefully as they go through because at the end of the day when they are applying for a use permit
what they are applying for is to meet a compatibility standard. Is this higher up zoned use? This
transient vacation rental, which is not an outright permitted use in the residential district, is it going
to be compatible with its surrounding residences. So that would be litmus test that they would have
to meet should they apply for a use permit.
Mr._Long: I have a question. All of the major counties have this historic preservation tax exemption
for residential use. Oahu also includes commercial buildings and what would it take for Kauai to
adopt a similar ordinance.
Mr. Hull: Ultimately an action by the County Council. Now this body can initiate that type of
proposal quite frankly and if that is the desire to begin looking at proposing a commercial tax
credit, or tax exemption, or tax waiver for historically registered sites that is in the purview but
ultimately it would have to be moved up to the County Council for review and take action.
Mr. Long: Thank you.
Ms. Wichman: Any other comments? (None.) Do we have to move to accept this?
Mr. Hull: You would just, just a motion to receive essentially.

Deputy Director ofPlanniog
This is to inform you that the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission (KHPRC) met on
October 27, 2016 to review and discuss the proposed plans to install a new "standing seam" roof
to replace the existing roofing consisting of a wood shakes on mansard roof and hardi-plank
shingles of other parts of the Restaurant Building.
Based on the plans submitted, the KHPRC voted to recommend that the applicant use roofing
material similar to the original cedar shake type roof that was used in the original building and/or
cedar shake type roof that may be still substantially in place.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this matter.

Frequently Asked Questions Q
Q. How Does Inspire Slate
Compare With "Real" Slate On
Price?
A. The answer to this question is ..."what
type of slate'?" Most slate sold in the US is
imported from China with a minimal warranty
and of variable quality. Inspire Slate is
similarly priced to a good quality guaranteed
Spanish slate, but has many inherent
benefits. One extremely relevant and
cost -saving advantage is that fixing times are
vastly reduced. Please see the Features and
Benefits section of this site for further details.
Q. How is The Matedal Fastened
To the Surface?
A. Galvanized steel nails driven through the
slate, either manually or by nail gun. No
drilling, clipping or hooks required.
Q. What Is The Minimum Roof
"itch Inspire °Files Can Be
Ibstallecl ran?
A. 14 degrees (on a fully -boarded roof). This
is very useful for extensions and other
applications where the available roof slope
may be limited.

Arcella Shake I Synthetic Cedar Shake Shingles i Inspire Roofing https://www.inspireroofing.com/arcella-shake
A. This is intentional. The induced camber
flattens and creates a tight fit when nailed in
place.
A. Yes. Standard slating principles apply.
A. Nailed and overlapped. Dry -fix system
much more secure than a bedded ridge.
Cement does not adhere well to Inspire Slate.
A. No, Inspire Slate is UV stable with the
same color through -out. It will weather, as
does any roof covering, depending on
location and exposure.
-�AN Vol Cut
A. Fine-toothed saw, disc cutter, or scored
with a utility knife.
A. Once again, this depends on the location
and exposure of the site. Algae grows better
on a laminar material, Inspire Slate is not
laminar. To deter growth, string a copper
wire across the length of the ridge.

Product? What's it Made From?
A. It's not recycled... but it's RECYCLABLE.
Inspire Slate is made from limestone and
virgin resins. Consequently there is greater
control over the mix and the manufacturing
process. The main problems experienced with
using reclaimed inconsistent raw materials
are due to the lack of control in the
manufacture which can result in splitting,
curling, etc. There are no such problems with
Inspire Slate.
Q. Flow Are The Tlies
Pack. ed/DeliveredT
A. Individually strap -banded bundles of 25
slates... 1600 per pallet (or less). There is a
delivery charge depending on location.
Q. Can The Material Be Used For

A. Yes.

(above from Eileen Richardson)
Notes on Guy Nelson Rothwell--Source FWB 3rd
I've put a few remarks here that weren't brought out in his obituary .
The first thing one would notice about Guy Rothwell would be that he was short but
feisty. From about the beginning of the war until he retired, I don't think there is any
doubt that he was the most successful architect in the islands. However, I think what
he would like to be remembered as is a man of the sea. He loved his boat, fishing,
taking charter parties --just being on the water.
He was a good instructor. I didn't know much about running boats when I went to live
with him, but he changed that quickly. His philosophy of life was tied closely to his
seamanship. One of his themes was that there are some things that you have to avoid
because if you fowl up, you don't get a second chance. His first example was falling
overboard at night. You avoided that by giving one hand to the boat and one to
yourself--- always hang on. Another was that if the boat broke down in the Molokai
channel and you couldn't fix it you might never be heard from again. So he taught me
to fix anything that might break down even before I could properly steer the boat. As
soon as I could dock the boat and pull out of the dock without causing damage, I was
in charge of running it. From then on he entertained the fishing parties or his friends
and I was the designated driver.
On the boat or anything else in life he believed in letting a person make mistakes --
and paying the penalty (except in the things you don't get a second chance on).
One of his ancestors was Lord Nelson (what they said at the time but may not be true)
and his grandfather was a sea Captain who settled in the islands.
One of his duties as the Naval Aid to the Governor was to participate in the Navy's
'attack' on Hawaii during the maneuvers that took place every few years. In these
maneuvers the Navy tried to capture the islands, and the Army defended the islands.
The army was judged to win in all but one of the maneuvers. The navy's only victory
came on an attack that he helped plan, and it was executed exactly like the attack that
the Japanese made on December 7, 1941. The navy had waited for a cloudy day (the
Japanese were just lucky that it was cloudy), it was a surprise, the planes attacked
from the windward side of the island and hit the same targets
He visited us in Seattle on his way to a meeting back east for Chaminade College. He
was 90 years old and acting like he was 20. Dorothy, Gail and I went up lake Chilan
to Staheken with him and had a really good time. Gail was 9 or 10 years old. Louis
died of a long term illness within a year. He was his usual self at her funeral, then died
of a heart attack about a week later.
The following obituary from the Honolulu Advertiser does a good job of describing
him and his life.
Kamaaina Guy Rothwell dies; was 80
Guy N. Rothwell, kamaaina architect, businessman and public servant, died Friday.
He was 80. Services for Mr. Rothwell are pending. Burial will be at National
Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Mr. Rothwelll is survived three sons, Frank N. , Robert M. and Guy N. Jr., all of
Honolulu; a daughter, Mrs. Mary Louise Lloyd of Pitsfield , Mass,: a sister Mrs.
Thelma Rogers of Berkeley, Calif.; 19 grandchildren and one great-gandchild.
Mrs. Mary Louise Rothwell, Mr. Rothwell's wife of 53 years, died March 2.
WITH MR. ROTHWELL'S death, Hawaii lost another of its "true" Hawaiians. Or as
Mr. Rothwell said in an interview early this month with Advertiser columnist Sammy
Amalu: 'I was born in 1890 when Hawaii was still a monarchy. I was born a
Hawaiian......
'My family were imprisoned and exiled because we supported Queen Liliuokalani.
We were royalists. We fought for Hawaii's last Queen.
'We were indeed truly Hawaiian, and without a drop of that blood in our veins.'
SAID AMALU of Rothwell's comments: OAnd of course, Guy Rothwell was telling
the truth. He told the stories of that band of haoles who were loyal to the Hawaiian
Kingdom, the royalists. And who else is left to tell their story, one that has never yet
been told?
'When Guy is gone, how bare indeed will be the marketplace.'
M.R.. ROTHWELL was born in Honolulu on Nov. 9, 1890, the son of John George
and May Haley Rothwell. His maternal grandmother was Charlotte Brown Haley,
daughter of the English seaman, Capt. Robert Brown, who once owned Kahuku ranch
in Kau, Hawaii, and came to the Islands in 1838. He attended Punahou School here
during 1899-1900 and 1904-1909, then went to high school in Seattle, where he also
continued his education at the University of Washington.
AFTER GRADUATION from the University of Washington in 1911 with a degree in
architectural engineering. Mr. Rothwell returned to Hawaii to do engineering with the
United States Navy at Pearl Harbor.
From 1915-1917, he worked with the Honolulu Iron Works Co. Also in 1917 on May
7, he married the former Mary Louise McCarthy, the daughter of Charles W.
McCarthy, the governor of Hawaii from 1918-1923.
From 1920 to 1923, he worked as an engineer with various construction contractors
here, but in 1923 he went into private practice.
IN 1925 HE formed a partnership with John H. Kangeter and Marcus Lester and
designed and constructed some of the major buildings in Honolulu.
Mr. Rothwell is credited with the construction of many buildings built during the time
Hawaii was still a territory. He was one of the group of architects that designed
Honolulu's City Hall, Honolulu Hale.
Among other buildings planned by him were the Palama Settlement, Oahu Railway
Passenger station and office, several buildings at Punahou School, the Hilo Armory
building and the Kin Street, Moanalua, Haleiwa and Wahiawa bridges.
He also supervised construction of the Bishop Trust building, Harris Memorial
Church, the original gymnasium and Atherton House at the University of Hawaii,
Roosevelt High School and the Beretania, Kalihi and Kaimuki pumping plants for the
Sewer and Water Commission.
IN ALL, Mr. Rothwell designed more than 1,000 structures on Oahu.
In a newspaper interview in February, 1960, Mr. Rothwell said of Honolulu's turn -of -
the century days: 'I first lived in Waikiki where the Moana Hotel now stands. The area
as we know it today did not exist at the turn of the century.
'There were fish ponds, duck ponds and rice fields. Kalakaua Avenue was a winding
road through the soggy ponds. They used to call Kalakaua 'Waikiki Road' then. It was
an easier time to live.
'It used to take two hours by horse and buggy to get from Waikiki to downtown
Honolulu, so only the wealthier people lived there'
IN THOSE EARLY days, Mr. Rothwell was close to Hawaii's royalty. 'Queen
Liliuokalani's mansion was downtown at Washington Place. I remember her well. She
was a gracious lady, the best of her race. She had a beach house at what is now Kuhio
Beach. It was a great place for the gang. She was a fine woman. Of course, there were
those against her, but that was for political reasons'
Of Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole, he said: 'Prince Kuhio--his nickname was Prince
Cupid --was a fat, brown, jolly fellow --a very friendly man who typified the very
finest. He was greatly interested in fishing. But he was a fantastic politician. He made
a wonderful delegate congress. He was a fine gentleman. He always paid his bills.
Prince Cupid was something of a poker player, but not much: his uncle, King
Kalakaua, was the real poker player.'
AND OF THE FIRST days of the Outrigger Canoe Club, a club which he helped
found: OIn the midst of all this the Outrigger Canoe Club was built by Alexander
Hume Ford. He was an author --and I guess something of a crackpot. The club was
originally organized for the boys of Honolulu. But that didn't last long. Their mothers
and fathers took over and I guess never let go. I was the first captain of the Outrigger
in 1908, and its second dues -paying member in history. The first, of course, was Alex
Ford.'
DURING THE FIRST World War, Mr. Rothwell served 17 months in the U.S. Navy
as an officer and one year with the Overseas Transport and Cruiser force.
In 1930 he was appointed by Gov. L. M. Judd as special naval aide with the rank of
Lieutenant, Naval Militia, Territory of Hawaii. He served in the capacity though
JuddOs gubernatorial term, and later, on the staff of Gov. J. B. Poindester, served as
an aide with the rank of Commander.
Mr. Rothwell, as a reporter once commented was 'never ..... a man to suppress his
gripes.'
IN 1932 HE WENT on public record as saying that the City-County's handling of
building projects was 'hideous and bungling.' In 1934 he'pot- shotted at the theater
code' here, and in 1945 he called the Territorial Building Code'outmoded, ineffective
and contradictory.' And in 1953 when he challenged a sweeping theory of city master
planning, he was , according to a news report, 'believed to be the first private citizen
ever do so.'
OTHER POSTS held by Mr. Rothwell over the years included a four-year term (from
May, 1935) of the Territorial Board of Hospitals and Settlements, membership in the
American Institute of Architects and the Engineering Association of Hawaii and a
regentship at Chaminade College.
He was also a life member of the Honolulu Elks Lodge 616; a charter member and
former commodore (1956) of the Waikiki Yacht Club; a member of the Waikiki
Beach Improvement Panel; a member of the Harbor Commissioners Board (1957-
1958); and a past president of the Hawaii Chapter, AIA.
Arrangements for Mr. Rothwell's funeral services are being handled by Borthwick
Mortuary.
This is an article that was in one of the Honolulu newspapers when Guy died. It is
about Guy and Flora Rice who died on the same day.
they lived lives of grace
By Sammy Amalu
(He wrote 'the world of sammy amalu')
Chill winds blow across the bay, and the night birds cry along the cliffs. The night is
dark tonight, and there are clouds over the face of the moon. There are no more
dreams to be dreamed, for the hour of dreaming is done. There are no songs to be
sung, for the time of singing is no more. Death has walked upon the shore tonight, and
he walked not alone.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH merely to live. One must do more. A man must walk tall over
all the land. A woman must walk with grace. A man must erect monuments, that the
earth will remember him after he has departed. A woman must walk with tenderness
and gently, that the earth caress her feet and flowers blossom where once she trod.
So did they walk, they who are dead this hour. So did they live their days. Nor did
they take from earth more than they gave. They replenished the deserts and fashioned
gardens out of the wilderness.
They planted green trees where no trees had grown before. They brought forth new
blossoms out of an and soil. They left the earth a better place. Better because they had
lived here. Better because of them.
They brought forth new blossoms out of an and soil. They left the earth a better place.
Better because they had lived here. Better because of them.
THEY BOTH LOVED Hawaii. They loved her mountains and her seas, her skies and
her rainbows. They loved the people, the simple people, the gentle people, the kindly
people. And because they were simple themselves, gentle and kindly, the people loved
them too. Perhaps this is after all the true measure of greatness. The only scale to
weigh the worth of a life.
They each walked their own way, but they both walked with a grace unmatched. He
was a gentleman. She was a lady. Perhaps these two words describe them best....
HIS WAS A FAMILY that never failed in its loyal support of the Hawaiian throne.
They had been ministers to the Crown. They had long served the sovereigns of
Hawaii. And when there was rebellion over the land, their allegiance never wavered.
They stood beside their monarchs.
They were royalists, among that brave band of haole families who chose not to rebel
against Hawaii's Queen.
He was born on the very lands where SO years later he was to die. He grew up in the
days of the Monarchy, of the Provisional government, of the Republic of Hawaii, and
the first years of American rule.
HONOLULU THEN was a sleep town but a gracious one.
And I think he loved it better the way it used to be even though he did as much as any
to build a new city on these shores. For he was a builder. He reared mansions where
there had been naught. but wilderness.
He was a native-born Hawaiian, a true Hawaiian. And I doubt that anyone ever loved
Hawaii more than he. He was a Kamaaina, a child of the soil indeed. I have often
wondered what were the elements necessary to fashion an Hawaiian. What ever they
be, I think he had them.
SHE CAME TO the Islands near 60 years ago and married a boy from Kauai. She
never left.
Instead, she weaved her own pattern into the fabric of her husband's family, one that
had given to these Islands, and especially to Kauai, 150 years of devoted service. She
was one of those women, peculiar to her own generation and perhaps peculiar also to
these Islands, one of those women who knew how to be gracious....
THEY LIVED their days through and hour of great miracles.
Bom into the age of the carriage and the buggy, they lived to see man walk the face of
the Moon. What more can anyone ask?....
Guy Rothwell was a gentleman, Flora Rice was a lady.
No epitaph can better describe them. No words can tell more than these what they
were. Ua like no a Ike me ka mele a ka makeke. O yes indeed, the marketplace is
made more bare.
And they who were lovely in their day are no more.
THE CHURCH
The church building was designed by Honolulu architect Guy N. Rothwell, who also designed the Gyre
(orignally also used as the Parish Hall) and Memorial Church School Building. It was completed on
December 6, 1925, and contains many items of historical interest. The building utilizes the native lava
rock stone in its structure, and features magnificent stained glass windows. Click HERE to read about the
different stained glass windows, altar and other historical features of the church.

PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF LIHUE SHELL

LIHUE, HI 96766
AUTHORIZED AGENT:
PALM'S HAWAII ARCHITECTURE
2970 KELE STREET #115
SCOPE OF WORK:
Demolition of existing roof canopy and convenience store.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Historical Background:
The Highway vicinity in Lihue is home of the historic Garden Island Service station. It is
positioned at the Poinciana street access to Kuhio Highway, Adjacent to the north is the
historic Lihue Theater which has been repurposed as Senior Housing with the historic highway
facade maintained. On the other side of the Service Station is a Not Chinese Restaurant
(previously Wendy's Circ.'84 Jack in the Box Circ.'85) and 7-11" on the same parcel. Further
South along the Highway is the Garden Island Publishing and Garden Island Motors (1923)
buildings. Across the highway are additional roadside services including a "Mc Donald's" and
76" station. Directly across the Highway on the Poinciana corners are "Pizza Hut" and the
Chevron service station followed by a warehouse facility converted to various retail
enterprises.
On the subject parcel in addition to this service station are offices and retail enterprise located
in the remodeled previous lube and paint facilities once associated with the service station?
The complex was developed in the early 1930's by then reigning business interest as an
extension of "Garden Island Motors". Record (see accompanying) shows the facilities were
designed by arch itectleng ineer Rothwell & Lester with the service Station and its unique
roofing and rock work as the roadside feature in front of the garage area. The structure was
completed in 1930.
It featured a waiting room and thematic landscaping to compliment the rock work and fauve
thatch roofing. That roof once colored tan has since returned to its original cement grey
before being painted green more recently.
The rock -work once natural with green tinted mortar has also been painted apparently to cover
damage and increase waterproofing.
B. Description of Proposed Addition and surroundina areas:
As graphically represented on Sheet SP1- Site Plan, the existing Service Station is placed
front center on the lot. It involves approximately one third of the property with another third
parking and the remaining third retail/office facilities to remain.
The parking area is paved and will remain as such. Minor landscape area exists adjacent to
the "theater" property on the north.
The current facility serves this busy intersection as a Shell gas outlet and associated
convenience store. Its immediate neighbors across the Highway and to the north are also
transit oriented businesses, serving the Highway. The operator, Aloha Petroleum as joint
Owner with the Weinberg Foundation proposes an updated facility to continue the long
tradition of Shell gasoline in this location. New facilities will include a steel flat roof canopy
over new pump positions. The COK planning department has encouraged a canopy
supported by rock veneer columns with mansard style roof edge. The convenience store
facilities will be excluded. The applicant will work with the COK Planning Department to
accomplish street front and pedestrian access in keeping with the intent of the Lihue Town
Core Urban Design Plan. All functions will be located on one level and will be fully
handicapped accessible.
Following, please find a few photos of the existing property.

The service station is part of a robust development of early Lihue along
then "government road", now Kuhio Highway. It is adjunct to Garden Island
Motors and representative of the growing commitment to automobile
transportation and service to private vehicle ownership on Kauai. The station is unique
for its "hawaiian" theme including imitation thatch roofing.

Subject: Structural Assessment of Aloha Petroleum Lihue Station
33178 Kuhio Highway, Lihue, Kauai
Dear Mr. Lyman:
At your request, we had the opportunity on May 7, 2015 to review the condition of the
Lihue Aloha Petroleum Station located on 33178 Kuhio Highway, Lihue, Kauai. This
review was requested to assess the structural integrity of the station with regard to
deterioration of the structural framing. This letter reports our findings,
The station is a one-story structure, T-shaped in plan, with a steeply sloped
(approximately 12.12) hip roof (Photo 1). The structure is constructed of a wire mesh
reinforced mortar topping roof cast on wood plank roof sheathing that is supported on
2x6 rough framed rafters spaced at 17 in. The rafters span to 2x8 ridge, hip and valley
framing. Ceiling joists spaced at 17 in. support a metal lath and plaster ceiling. The front
portion of the structure over the pumps is supported on wood beams spanning to stone
masonry posts while the rear portion of the structure is supported on stone masonry walls.
Our scope of work consisted of a visual observation of the structure as could be viewed
from the exterior and interior ground level and from the attic space. Hidden conditions
such as those covered by roof, ceiling, wall and floor coverings were not reviewed during
our visit_ From our review, we have the following observations:
• Extensively termite and dryrot deteriorated roof plank sheathing (Photo 2), roof
rafters (Photos 3 and 4) and valleys (Photo 5) were observed over large portions
of the roof. It is estimated that 50% of the roof sheathing and framing is
deteriorated, with the deterioration located primarily at the bottom half of the
roof and at the valleys. The presence of a bent vertical brace indicates that the
roof may also be sagging (Photo 6).
• At some areas, the roof plank sheathing was deteriorated to the degree that it had
fallen away, exposing the mortar topping above (Photo 7). Exposed wire mesh
reinforcing at the bottom of the topping was observed to be severely corroded
and the mortar was observed to be cracked. Daylight was visible through some
of the cracks.
• It is estimated that 25 to 50% of the ceiling joists are termite deteriorated with
much of the deterioration located at the ceiling perimeter (Photo 8).
• The majority of the eave soft plaster around the perimeter of the building is
cracked and delaminated (Photos 9 and 10). This deterioration coincides with the
deterioration in the supporting eave framing above.
From our observations, it appears that water has been infiltrating through the mortar
topping, resulting in corrosion of the embedded wire mesh reinforcing and cracking of
the mortar, although some cracks and joints may have already been present in the topping
from the initial construction. This water infiltration has likely resulted in the extensive
termite and dry -rot deterioration in the roof and ceiling framing as well as the cracks,
delaminations and corroded lath at the perimeter lath and plaster ceiling.

Page 2 of 2
Repairs to the structure will require replacement of the majority, if not all of the roof and
ceiling framing. This will also require replacement of the roof topping mortar and lath
and plaster ceiling that is supported on the roof framing. In addition, large portions of the
roof topping mortar and lath and plaster ceiling may require replacement due to the
cracking, delamination and reinforcing corrosion observed in these elements. If the
entire roof coverings and framing are to be removed and replaced, the supporting stone
masonry columns and walls below which appear to be unreinforced should also be
retrofitted or replaced, as this type of unreinforeed construction does not meet current
construction standards. Due to these conditions, repair and retrofit of the structure is not
feasible and the entire structure should be removed and replaced.
The opinions and comments formulated during this work are based on observations made
at the time of the investigation. No guarantee or warranty as to future life, performance,
or need for repair of any reviewed conditions will be expressed or implied. This work
does not include an assessment of mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, hazardous
materials or other nonstructural conditions. Compliance with any specifications and legal
or code requirements, except as expressly noted, is specifically excluded from this work.
Please call us should you have further questions on this matter.

The County of Kauai, Department of Planning OPPOSES the disposal action of the Historic
Vibu`e Post Office located at 4441 Rice Street, Lrniu`e, Kauai, Hawaii. The Department
disagrees that the property and postal service at this location "is excess and no longer necessary".
We strongly urge you to reconsider the proposed disposal action.

The-L�u4e Post -Office -is -a-key-component in-impl-ementing-the Liheo town Core Urban......
Design Plan (LTCUDP). The LTCUDP prioritizes the revitalization of Rice Street
neighborhoods to promulgate business, provide additional housing, and improve livability in
Llhu`e. The Post Office is located at one of the busiest centers in the Liliu`e Town Core. In
addition to numerous homes and businesses, adjacent to the post office are two of Kaua`i's
largest employers, the State of Hawaii and the County of Kauai. Given its location, the Lihu`e
Post Office is a vital service to those that live and work in the surrounding area, and it is integral
in ongoing investments to further revitalize the area into an economically vibrant and livable
community.
The US DOT TIGER Grant for Revitalization of the Llhu'e Town Core
The United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) recently awarded the County of
Kauai $13.8 million through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery

Lihu`e Post Office is integral to this area's revitalization efforts. A disposal action of the L-ihu`e
Post Office would run counter to these revitalization efforts, including but not limited to the
efforts and investment by the US DOT.

The L-ihu`e Post Office is a RecogLiized Historic Feature
The Lihu`e Post Office is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Hawaii
Register of Historic Places. Established in 1939, the iconic Spanish Mission -style Lnlu°e Post
Office retains its original structural and historical integrity. At its dedication in 1939, Judge
Wood, Postal Inspector for Hawaii, proclaimed that the new Lihu`e Post Office would be the
model for other tropically designed postal installations across the Territory. Maintaining the
historical postal use within this original, historical structure is crucial to the continued retention
of the buildings historical integrity.
We further understand that there have been complaints about inadequate parking at the Lihu`e
Post Office and surrounding area. Please be aware that under the proposed TIGER grant
improvements, the County will approximately double the amount of on -street parking in the Rice
Street area. Furthermore, while many' of the L-Aiu`e Post Office patrons do drive, the Department
is aware that many walls from nearby homes or businesses, An audit conducted in April of 201.6
by the County of Kauai in partnership with the Healthy Hawaii Initiative Evaluation Team
(University of Hawaii) showed 127 pedestrians entering the LAiu`e Post Office during a three
hour period between 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Relocating postal services from the Town Core Area
to the airport will require virtually every patron to drive to the site. Removing this service is not
only detrimental to the numerous revitalization efforts, it is detrimental to the many individuals,
businesses, and families that currently access the site on foot.
We strongly urge you to reconsider the proposed disposal action. Thank you for your
consideration. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me

The Uihu`e Post Office has graced the streets of Uihu`e since 1939. Our residents
are fond of this venerable building, and often utilize the services offered there.
When we heard about the U.S. Postal Service's recent proposal to move retail
operations from this historic location, we were taken aback as it has been an
integral part of the community for decades, and is included in all of the future
plans for the area, i.e. the General Plan update, Uhu'e Community Plan and the
U-hu'e Town Core Revitalization and Mobility Plan.
It is my hope that you and other Postal Service officials will work closely with us to
resolve this matter.
Thank you very much.

KAUA`I PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING

3:00PM
INTRODUCTION
The Reconstruction & Enlargement of Kaua`i's Only True Pipe Organ
The attached information provides an overview of a project at All Saints' Episcopal Church in
Kapa`a to rebuild and enlarge the church's pipe organ —the only true pipe organ on Kauai.
All Saints' Church has embarked on a capital campaign to raise the money necessary to
complete the project. Our goal is to have the project completed by Easter 2018.
The organ project coincides with sub -projects designed to support the installation of the
organ by restoring and enhancing the interior of the church. These sub -projects include:
• Refinishing the concrete floor in the sanctuary
• Repainting the interior walls and ceiling
• Possibly restoring the board & batten look on the walls
• Modifying the original organ space and adjacent storage area to install the new organ
This project is necessary because the original organ installed in 1925 needed to be
decommissioned in 2016 due to problems associated with the age of the organ and coastal
environment.
All Saints' Church also took the decision to rebuild and enlarge the original organ due to its
historic association with the Wilcox family and because it is the only true pipe organ on the
Island.
The facade and pipes from the original organ will be restored and re -used in the new
instrument. (Refer to photos following The Reverend Ryan D. Newman's letter.)
The original organ had 328 pipes. The reconstructed, enlarged organ will have 1,350 pipes.
In order to install the enlarged organ we propose the following:
• Use the original organ space plus the adjacent storage area as a larger organ room
• The refurbished space will become in effect a giant speaker box
• This will require modification to the space by removing three windows and two doors
As part of All Saints' ongoing maintenance program, a sub -project is to replace the
deteriorating roof of the church with new, longer -lasting shake that will retain the historic
appearance of the current roof. The new roof will be installed at the same time work is done
on the interior of the church. While this is not part of the overall organ project, the need to
replace the roof comes at an opportune moment.
LL SAINTS'
EPISCOPAL CHURCH &PRESCHOOL
KAUA`I'S FIRST AND ONLY PIPE ORGAN
at All Saints' Episcopal Church and Preschool (Kapa'a, Hawai'i)
The Episcopal Church in Hawaii was Chartered in 1862 under the laws of the
Kingdom of Hawaii after King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma invited the Church
of England to Hawaii. The King and Queen supported the Church's presence
throughout the islands with gifts of land, and by founding the Cathedral of St. Andrew
in Honolulu. Queen Emma also founded Queen's Hospital (now Queen's Medical
Center) and St. Andrew's Priory School for Girls, both in Honolulu. The last reigning
monarch of Hawai'i, Queen Lili'uokalani, depended upon the spiritual support of the
Episcopal Church during and following the overthrow of her reign in 1893.
All Saints' was founded as KauaTs first mission of the Episcopal Church in 1924 at
Kealia, four miles north of Kapa'a. The mission moved to its present campus in 1925.
In 1962, the All Saints' mission became a parish church of the Episcopal Diocese.
In 1925, Mrs. S. W. Wilcox generously donated an Austin Pipe Organ to KauaTs first
Episcopal mission. It was the first pipe organ on Kauai. Ninety years later, the historic
instrument is still KauaTs only pipe organ.
Taking into consideration the responsibility of maintaining the historic legacy of
Mrs. Wilcox's generous gift to the people of Kaua'i, to honor King Kamehameha IV
and Queen Emma's vision to share the Christian faith with the people of the Hawaiian
Islands, and for the sustainability and vitality of All Saints' as we approach the
beginning of our second century of ministry on Kauai, our congregation has come to
the understanding of our call to be stewards of the wonderful resources God has
entrusted to our care. One of those treasured gifts is KauaTs only pipe organ.
The pipe organ is an integral and beloved part of the Church's worship services and
community music outreach programs in service to All Saints' vision to be a cathedral
for the people of Kauai. Unfortunately, age and the tropical environment took their
toll on this beautiful and historic instrument. The pipe organ's various wood, metal,
and leather parts deteriorated. Routine maintenance and minor repairs were unable
to stop the inevitable finale of the current pipe organ's lifespan. In February 2016,
the pipe organ was decommissioned. The project's goal is to reconstruct and expand
KauaTs only pipe organ thereby allowing All Saints' to share this prominent, beautiful,
and historic instrument with the people of and visitors to Kauai.

ALL SAINTS' (KAPA'A) - ORGAN PROJECT
With the installation of the reconstructed pipe organ (Rosales Opus 40), The All Saints'
'Ghana, under the leadership of The Reverend Ryan D. Newman, have identified
corresponding projects in the Church sanctuary that are essential to protecting and
preserving this historic instrument. The following projects are scheduled to coincide
with the organ reconstruction project:
• Replace the old, damaged roof with a new, long-lasting shake roof.
• Paint the interior of the Church and return the flooring to its original design state.
• Convert an existing storage room adjacent to the northwest side of the
sanctuary into an Organ Chamber Room that will house the 1,350 pipes for
the reconstructed instrument (the original organ had only 328 pipes).
SPECIFICALLY TO THE PRESERVATION COMMISSION'S CONSIDERATION
Converting the storage room into an Organ Chamber Room necessitates that
All Saints' remove the windows and doors associated with the room for the
following reasons;
1. To support the operational environment required to properly house and
maintain a world -class organ and its supporting components.
2. To create an air tight space that is necessary for an organ chamber which will
include a spray foam insulation.
3. To ensure the organ chamber has the required atmospheric conditions to
protect against heat, moisture, dirt/dust, insects, and other contaminants that
can damage the instrument and significantly decrease its lifespan.
4. To provide an optimal acoustical environment that properly supports and
amplifies sounds across the whole spectrum of the acoustical range. An optimal
acoustical environment is especially important to capture sounds in the lower
frequencies which are often diminished significantly by improperly prepared
organ chambers.
In January2016, All Saints' launched a capital campaign to reconstruct the pipe organ.
A budget of $285,000 has been established to reconstruct the organ and to make
some enhancements to the sanctuary and the adjoining spaces to support the pipe
organ's functionality and the future vision of the music program. The target completion
of the project is Easter Day 2018.
All Saints' is grateful to be working with Rosales Pipe Organ Services, Inc. of Los
Angeles, California. Manuel Rosales and his team bring an impressive background to
2
ALL SAINTS' (KAPA'A) - ORGAN PROJECT
this extraordinary project. Manuel has restored organs throughout the United States
and is a leader in the preservation of historic organs; he is considered by his
colleagues to be one of the best in the industry. Rosales Pipe Organ's signature
project is the world-renowned organ at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Manuel's vision is to design and build an exceptional and one -of -a -kind custom organ.
Manuel has taken a deep interest in the project because of the historical and cultural
implications of rebuilding Kaua`i's only pipe organ.
The renewed, enlarged, and reimagined pipe organ will benefit the people of Kauai
and those who visit the Garden Island for generations to come. Rosales Organ
Builders' Opus 40 will be a most significant addition to the music, cultural, and worship
life of the Island. Itwill be a diverse instrument celebrating Hawaiian culture, language
and sounds. It will be the first organ in the world to contain both English and Hawaiian
nomenclature. Also, the organ will integrate Native Hawaiian instruments and sounds.
The updated facade design is inspired by Queen Emma's private prayer kneeler,
which is prominently featured in the All Saints' Sanctuary.
Upon completion of the project, the organ and renewed church interior will be an ideal
setting for worship and music education, outreach through community concerts, and
a sacred gathering space for the people of Kauai.
"The pipe organ at All Saints' is not just an instrument; it is a link to our history, our
ancestors, and our sacred traditions. To rebuild the All Saints' pipe organ is "pono" —
good for the Church, good for the Island of Kauai, good for future generations, and
good for the Glory of God," says The Reverend Ryan D. Newman.

Episcopal Church
801h ANNIVERSARY
HISTORICAL TOUR
August 8 -12, 2005
1925 — 2005
AIoha and welcome to
All Saints` Episcopal Church!
Mahalo for joining us as we celebrate our 80a'
Anniversary. We hope you enjoy your tour of the
grounds and facilities of the church that is steeped in
history and holds many fond and wonderful
memories for the countless families and visitors that
have worshipped here.
All Saints' congregational history can be traced
back to the arrival of the Rev. Henry Alpheus and
Mrs. (Juelle 1.) Willey on Kauai October 28, 1924.
In the next few months, while laboring under
unfavorable circumstances in Kealia, Mr. Willey
succeeded in obtaining land and making plans for
the buildings in Kapaa. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Digby
Sloggett gave the approximately five acres of land_
The congregation was organized in 1924, declared
itself an interracial church and chose its name by a
vote of the congregation. It became the first
Anglican Church an Kauai.
ALL SAINTS' CHURCH BUILDING
The church building was designed by Honolulu
architect Guy N. Rothwell, who also designed the
Parish Hall/gym and Memorial Church School
Building_ It was completed on December 6, 1925
and contains many items of historical interest
including:
The Victory Window above the door, designed by
the Zettler Studios in NYC, was dedicated in April
1946 to all who made such great sacrifices for final
victory in World War [I and to all the servicemen of
the Honor Roll. It depicts an almost life-size figure
of Christ with pierced hands and feet, clothed in
shades of red, standing victoriously on a globe
showing the Western Hemisphere including the
Hawaiian Islands. The background is in beautiful
shades of blue.
The Honor Roll contains the names of the men
serving in the armed forces in WW II from All
Saints' Church. The brass plaque mounted in the
back of the church under the Victory Window was
ordered in 1948 from the International Bronze
Tablet Co. of New York City and contains the
names of the six men who gave their lives and 70
men who returned home. The money for the plaque,
the Victory Window and the fighting came from
voluntary contributions.
The Austin pipe organ, the first and only pipe
organ on Kauai was a gift of Mrs. S. W. Wilcox in
1925,
The marble baptismal font was a gift of the
children of All Saints' Church School in memory of
their fellow student Herman W. K. Mahikoa, offered
through their Birthday Thank Offering,
The Gethsemane window above the altar was
dedicated on September 8, 1927 and is inscribed Na
memoriam Josephine Wundenberg King, 1848 —
1925". It was a gift of Mrs. Charles A. Rice. It was
badly damaged by Hurricane Iniki on September 11,
1992, and was lovingly restored by Vance T. Wood
of Stained Glass Art in California, in an on -site
workshop put up in the Memorial HaLL It was to -
dedicated on February 14, 1993. Mrs. King's great -
ggrandson Holbrook Goodale and members of his
family who so generously contributed to the
restoration were in church for the re -dedication.
The two stained glass side windows, Mary and the
Baby Jesus inscribed "In loving memory Grace
King Rice, 1880 — 1940"; The Boy Jesus in the
Temple inscribed "In loving memory Mary
Josephine King Forster, 1873 — 1940", were
designed, executed and installed under the direction
of Mr. Henry L. Willet of the Willet Stained Glass
Studios of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
dedication service, held Sunday, August 27, 1972
was lead by the Rector, the Ven. Richard S. O.
Chang.
The marble altar inscribed "In memoriam Lucy
Etta Wilcox Sloggett, October I877 — December
1933," was the gift of Henry Digby Sloggett.
ALL SAINTS' MEMORIAL CHURCH
SCHOOL BUILDING
('I`IIE MEMORIAL HALL)
This building was formally dedicated on November
12, 1939 and was used for the church school service,
providing a place for three of the seven church
school classes held Sunday mornings. Confirmation
classes, young peoples' forums, lectures, and
meetings of various sorts were also held here.
Although it was often referred to as "the chapel" for
short, it is not a formally consecrated building. Now
referred to as Memorial Hall it is used for meetings
and other church gatherings.
The tower is a memorial to David K. Hayseld'en,
who served on the vestry for many years. It houses
the church bell which is rung each Sunday to call all -
to worship and to call the Sunday school children to
Communion.
The Founders' Porch is divided into three bays.
The central bay is dedicated to Her Majesty, Queen
Emma of Hawaii, 'through whose instrumentality
the Anglican Church was brought to the Islands,"
and is the gift of the Iolani Guild of St. Andrew's
Cathedral. The right bay commemorates Capt.
James Makee, founder of the industrial life of the
Kawaihau District. Capt. Makes began the
cultivation of cane and the manufacture of sugar in
the Kapaa area His granddaughter, Wilhelmina
9• Tenney of Honolulu, gave this bay. The left bay is a
thank offering for "the loving service rendered to
the people of Kauai" by the Rev. Marcos E. Carver,
the first resident Episcopal priest on Kauai in the
early 2e century who labored here from 1917 to
1925. It is the gift of several of his Kauai friends.
The sanctuary was the gift of Mrs. Ida E. Von Holt
in memory of Bishop LaMothe, in whose episcopate
All Saints' was founded. Notice the beautiful altar
carved by Diedrich Hofgaard.
The stained glass window over the altar depicting
Christ blessing little children is a memorial to the
Rev. Thurston R. Hinckley, for some years associate
to the vicar of All Saints', and is the gift of more
than three hundred of his friends.
The building was originally divided into three
classrooms by accordion doors. One of the
classrooms is dedicated to the memory of Lucy Etta
Wilcox Sloggett, founder and long time president of
All Saints' Women's Guild, by which organization
it was presented. The center room is a memorial to
Idenry Digby Sloggett and was given "by many of
those who loved him." The classroom at the front
entrance of the building is the gift of Mrs. Dora Rice
Isenberg in memory of Sisters Beatrice and
Albertine, founders and for many years teachers of
St. Andrew's Priory School.
A timeline of events in the life of All Saints'
Church, Kauai and the world is displayed around the
building. Take a moment to remember
wall of this
where you were when some of these events took
place.
ALL SAINTS' PARISH HALL
Wig. (THE GYM)
-� '!Y�, v ' 0�' '4'__r� a� erTF
;
This buildingwas built in 1929 and has served All
Saints' Church and the cormnlsnity in many ways.
fiver the years it has served as a Parish Ball
complete with a commercial kitchen serving church
dinners for up to 300 guests, a theater for shows and
pageants, a gym for basketball and volleyball league
games, Sunday school classrooms, an Inr-a u onal
school, a meeting place fur community welfare
programs and dances in times past sponsored by All
Saints' Young Men's Club, Eli-Y boys and Leilani
girls clubs. These dances were well chaperoned,
well attended and the one place "careful mothers
Permit their daughter to dance -"
The hall was also the home of the All Saints'
Kindergarten that met throughout the school year
and had more than 50 children enrolled (1944).
Soon after the beginning of WW 11 the hall was
taken over by the army as a barracks- 'Three
different outfits, one after the other were for a long
time part of the "All Saints' family" To
demonstrate how important a resource the gym was
to the community, the first month after its return to
civilian status attendance was counted at athletic
eventsaaY pearocil the
erons, club meetings, attendancee totaled slightly thirty- over
10.800 people!
The gym is currently used by our Sunday school classes,
men's weekly basketball games, various commurury and
church functions, and the kitchen by Anahola Granola a
popular local business. It is the future home of the .All
Saints' Book Store and coffee lounge.
ALL SAINTS' RECTORY
t
The Rectory was the first building completed on
Lune 30, 1925 and became the home of the Rev. and
Mrs. Henry A. Willey, firs[ vicar of All Saints'
Church. The much beloved Willey's welcomed
many groups into their home for meetings, dinners
and friendly gatherings. Drying the war Mr. and
Mrs. Willey hosted alter church luncheons for
servicemen stationed on Kauai to make them feel
they had a home away from home. The Vestry and
the Women, 9 Guild met regularly at the Rectory.
a�
For our Sod' Anniversary celebrated August 7
through August I4`a, 2005 we have put together a
display of a number of items of local historical and
cultural interest:
The Gift of Royalty, this very lovely silver chalice
and paten, each bearing the inscription " Presented
by Queen Emma to the fast Anglican Church on
Kauai, September 6, 1993," was used at the fast
communion service held at All Saints' Church on
Christmas Day 1925- Kauai had its fust resident
Anglican priest as early as IS81. on September 8,
1881 the Rev. R. Wainwright and his wife, a sister
of Bishop Willis, came to Kauai as a tutor to the
family of Mr. George Dole of Kapaa. He remained
here until after May S, 1985 —the last entry he made
in the old Kauai Church register. It is reported that
the Wainwrights went from here to the Mainland -
The silver was then entrusted to Dean Ault of St.
Andrew's Cathedral in Honolulu who used it for
many years olio istering to the sick in 13011olulu until
he then returned it to Archdeacon Willey when All
saints' became the "firsAnglon liicann church each s oil
Kairai , it has been passed
church as they have been founded. It comes to us
today on loan from St. Michaels and All Angels of
Lihuc, the most recently established Episcopal
Church on Kauai.

UMAKOSHI ENTERPRISES, LLC REMODEL
4277 HALENANI STREET, LIHUE, KAUA1
TMK (4) 3-6-009;016
February 7, 2017
Building Permit Number 16-1634
SUMMARY
This 4277 Halenani Street commercial building was built in 1953 as a restaurant, and
has been locally known as `Ma's Place' or `Ma's Kitchen' since 1962 when the
Umakoshi Family took over the restaurant. The restaurant was open until 2 AM for night
time revelers and reopened again at 5:30 AM for `Early Birds'. The restaurant has been
vacant for approximately 6 years after the declining health of Mrs.Umakoshi, who ran
the restaurant as a family business.
Ma's Family Kitchen, LLC has purchased the building and has applied for a building
permit to renovate the structure into 4 offices and 2 apartments. The building permit
zoning use application has been approved by the Planning Department and we are
seeking review of the Application by the Kauai Historic Preservation review Commission
because we plan on replacing the front and rear doors, which will affect the exterior
elevations.
FRONT ELEVATION:
As one looks at the building from Halenani Street one can see three different existing
entry door styles.
On the far left the entire bay of fixed glass with jalousie windows above and original
entry door has been boarded up with plywood and a 3' x 6-8" hollow core wood door,
that previously accessed a travel agency. We will be restoring the fixed glass with
jalousie windows above to match the other two bays original fenestration.
The center bay still has the original 4'-0" x 7'-4" bi-fold doors that were originally in each
of the three bays entrances. The center bay was used as a service 1 emergency
entrance I exit and the entry to the restaurant was to the far right.
At the far right entry, the existing 3' x 6'-8" aluminum storefront entry door with fixed
glass sidelight and transom window replaced the original bi-fold doors after Hurricane
Iniki, in 1992.
In the photograph package one can view the existing Halenani Street exterior elevation
and the 2 Door Options that we are considering for your review and comment.
Option 1 would replace all three existing entrances with a 3' x 6'-8" steel 'fan lite' door
within the existing 4'-0" x 7'-4" opening. The side and top would be filled in with solid
wood material and painted. Please note that a similar door and treatment has been
installed in neighboring buildings on the same side of the street.
Option 2 would replace the 2 existing doors in the left and right bays with a replication of
the original bi-fold door currently seen in the center bay. Due to current building code
requirements the 3 historic bi-fold doors would be fixed as a single 4'-o" x 7'-4" swing
door.
REAR ELEVATION:
There are a variety of existing exterior service, entry and bathroom doors in the rear of
the building, three of which are 2'-8" x 6-8". Current code requires that these entry
doors be 3'-0" x 6'-8".
In the photograph package one can view the existing Rear Alley exterior elevation and
the 2 Door Options that we are considering for your review and comment.
Option 1 would install all three new entrances with a 3' x 6'-8" steel 'fan lite' door.
Option 2 would install all three new entrances with a 3' x 6'-8" steel 'rectangular lite'
door.
OTHER WORK:
There are no other proposed changes to either the front or rear elevations, except to
repair and paint the existing features that have deteriorated over time due to lack of
maintenance.
The original metal exhaust hood on the roof will be sealed water tight and painted with a
metallic finish. The deteriorated red vinyl `Restaurant' lettering on the front windows will
be removed and the fixed glass replaced by new clear safety glass.
