Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Here. Ms. Williams: Chair Arinaga, sorry, Commissioner Arinaga. Mr. Arinaga: Here. Ms. Williams: Commissioner Chaffin. Mr. Chaffin: Here. Ms. Williams: Commissioner Ida. Mr. Ida: Here. Ms. Williams: Commissioner Nakea. Ms. Nakea: Here. Ms. Williams: We have quorum. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Ms. Williams: The next agenda item is approval of the agenda. We would like to recommend an amendment to Agenda Item H.1., which is the Kilohana Plantation (Wilcox Homestead) TMK: 3-4-005-001, Lihu`e, Kauai, the proposed construction of a living room lanai. The applicant has requested that we defer this. Chair Pro Tern Schneider: Do we need a motion? Ms. Williams: Yes. Mr. Arinaga: Is that the only amendment? Ms. Williams: We do have another proposed amendment; perhaps we can take them at the same time then. Okay, the other amendment would be a similar deferral per the request of the applicant and this is Item I. I., under New Business. This is the Memorandum of Agreement Among the Federal Highway Administration and the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Officer and the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) Regarding the Oma`o Stream Bridge Replacement Project, Koloa Ahupuaa, Koloa District, Kauai Island, Hawaii. The Department of Transportation, specifically our Kauai District Engineer Larry Dill, did request that we defer this item as well. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: So we need a motion on both of them. Mr. Arinaga: I move to accept the agenda with the given amendments. Mr. Chaffin: Second. Ms. Williams: All in favor say aye. (Unanimous voice vote) Okay, so moved. Motion carried 5:0. Mr. Chaffin: Was there a reason for the deferment of Item I. L? Ms. Williams: I am not aware of what the reason is, perhaps Planner Alex Wong could provide more information on that. July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 9 Historic Planner Alex Wong: Aloha, Alex Wong for the record. Planning Department received a premature email from an employee in HDOT's office. Somebody who works with Larry Dill sent a draft of the changes to the MOA and it was emailed to Planning Department prematurely. So, Deputy Director Ka`aina Hull received the email and said go ahead, put it on the agenda, and then HDOT, a week later, responded to us and said, "Oh we don't want to be on the agenda yet, that was sent prematurely," so that is why they are deferring for now. Ms. Williams: Thank you, Alex. APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 21, 2018 MINUTES Ms. Williams: Moving on to Agenda Item D., the approval of the June 21, 2018, minutes. Ms. Arinag_a: Did we vote to accept the motion? Ms. Williams: We did. May I have a motion to approve the minutes? Mr. Chaffin: I make a motion to approve the minutes as modified (sic). Ms. Arinaga: Second. Ms. Williams: All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carried 5:0. HEARINGS AND PUBLIC COMMENT Ms. Williams: Moving on to Agenda Item E. This is our public comment period for individuals (who) may testify on items on the agenda and there is also an option available, at the discretion of the Chair, to testify after the agenda item is heard as well. But are there any members of the audience who would wish to testify at this time? Okay, seeing none, we will move on to Agenda Item F., which is Announcements. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND GENERAL BUSINESS MATTERS Ms. Williams: There are no announcements at this time. COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Williams: Moving on to Agenda Item G. We also have no communications to share at this time. Mr. Chaffin: Excuse me, shouldn't the minutes reflect the members that are not here? Is that assumed? Someone reading this, will they question why the Chair was not here and so forth? July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 9 Chair Pro Tem. Schneider: There'll be a list of who's here at the beginning of the minutes. Ms. Arinaga: At the next minutes. Ms. Williams: Yes, the minutes always indicate who's present and who is excused. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 2. Discussion on the status of the Certified Local Government. Ms. Williams: Okay, so under our amended Agenda Item H.1., under our Unfinished Business, we have deferred that so we will move directly onto Item H.2., which is Discussion on the status of the Certified Local Government. I believe this is a standing agenda item and my understanding is that there's no update unless any of the Commissioners have an update. Okay, then we will move on to our New Business. NEW BUSINESS 2. Child and Family Services 4-1112 K00 Highway, TMK: (4) 4-5-003:017, Kapa`a, Kauai Installation of a concrete parking lot, addition of pavement for an ADA accessible area, and enclosure of the existing porch/lanai for more storage or office space. a. Director's Report pertaining to this matter. Ms. Williams: Again, the amended agenda reflects that Item I.1. is deferred and we will move on to Item I.2. Historic Planner Alex Wong: Aloha mai kdkou. Alex Wong, again, for the record. Mr. Wong read portions of the Director's Report dated July 19, 2018, for the record. (Document on file) Mr. Wong: For your consideration, there's also images, the proposed plan and photos right in front of the Director's Report in the agenda packet. Mahalo. Chair Pro Tern Schneider: Would the applicant like to come up? Ms. Leilani Clayton: Aloha, my name is Leilani Clayton. I come from Oahu (and) I'm the Properties & Planning Manager for Child & Family Service. Ms. Novelyn Hinazumi: Good afternoon, I am Novelyn Hinazumi with Child & Family Service and Kauai Director. July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 9 Ms. Clayton: Thank you for having us today. Brief history of Child & Family Service and how we acquired this property — (it was) acquired in 2011. So (the) Child & Family Service mission is to strengthen families and promote the well-being of children, as well as the elderly and families. This location services about 80 families and singles a week. What we have there is a food pantry, parent skills, classes, family counseling and ... is there anything else I'm missing? Ms. Hinazumi: Case management. We also open up our facilities to partner with agencies who might want to use it for classes, such as Department of Human Services, PACT (Parents and Children Together) and other agencies. Ms. Clao: So right now the challenges we're having with this property is that it's rocky, as far as the parking. We're requesting to put concrete parking stalls (and it would) just (make an) easier access for participants and visitors. Then we have storage problems because, you know, with a lot of families coming in for pantry every week, we need a lot of storage for the food and sometimes it's a challenge with our staff packing it from one storage area (and then having to move it) into the kitchen to where the participants come into the house, so enclosing that one porch would really help with that. And then, of course, the ADA pavement which we're requesting because some of the participants come in with wheelchairs and sometimes their families are rolling them on the grass, (which makes) it very difficult. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Commissioners, (do you) have any questions? Mr. Chaffin: I have a question. Is the space that's now under contract ... in the plans, is that now being used and is this an addition to new uses? Ms. ClaZ: The space is being used but ... so what we're asking for is just more space. I don't know if I'm answering your question correctly. Mr. Chaffin: You're asking for more space. Are you not using that space now? Ms. Hinazumi: So the front area is our parking area and we are using that space. With the continued traffic, there continues to be erosion and it's hard... Chair Pro Tem Schneider: So it's the surfacing of the space that's changing. Mr. Chaffin: Surfacing of the existing space, okay. Thank you. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Yes, Gerald. Mr. Ida: Any utilities involved in this or is this just slabs? Ms. Clams: It's slabs only. Mr. Ida: I don't know if you can answer ... how deep are they going to excavate to install these slabs and pavement? July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 9 Ms. Clayton: Well we haven't gotten that far. We do have contractors in line but of course we wanted to get approval first. So we'll be able to answer those detailed questions when we have contractors come and look. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Gerald, are you concerned for the archaeology? Mr. Ida: Yes. It doesn't concern me that much because there's not going to be any trenching, but there are burials in the area. In fact, I know specifically of one that's actually still under the highway. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Yes, we had lots of them when we did the sewer project in Kapa`a. Mr. Ida: Yes, that's where I saw it. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Yes. So, if you're going to do any digging and you find anything, you need to notify immediately. Ms. ClaZ: Okay, thank you. Mr. Chaffin: I think that needs to be in our comments; on the records, so to speak. Ms. Williams: Were there any other concerns that the Commission had? Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Do we have a motion? Ms. Williams: It would be to amend the Director's Report to include the additional recommendation pertaining to the discovery of any... Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Burials. Ms. Williams: Yes, burials. Mr. Chaffin: Variables or burials? Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Burials. Ms. Williams: Burials. Mr. Ida: I would just say human remains or cultural materials. Ms. Williams: Okay. Mr. Ida: Artifacts. That they would do the standard notification. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: To the council - Burial Council. July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 9 Mr. Ida: Well, you can actually call the Police. Ms. Williams: Alex, could you add that to the recommendation section? Mr. Wong: Yes. Ms. Williams: Or state... Mr. Wong: If the motion can include the exact wording and then when I write the formal letter from KHPRC to the applicant, I will use the exact wording of the motion of how the Commission wants to word (it). Ms. Williams: Okay, so I believe the motion would be to accept the recommendation in the Director's Report with the additional... Ms. Arinaga: With concerns... Ms. Williams: As well... Mr. Wong: If I may add, the motion would be to support or not support the Director's Report. Chair Pro Tem Schneider: The application. Ms. Williams: Oh, I see. Mr. Wong: The application as reviewed by the Director's Report. Chair Pro Tern Schneider: So do we... Mr. Chaffin: As modified, or as... Ms. Williams: Alex, will you write down exactly what we're going to add to your Director's Report. Mr. Wong: Yes, and then the minutes will also reflect the amendment. Ms. Williams: Okay, sorry let me just... so perhaps regarding the Director's Report we can add to Section 8... Ms. Arinaga: I have a question to Alex. Mr. Wong: Yes. Ms. Arinaga: When construction, such as this, occurs and remains or artifacts are found, what is the process? Is the job stopped or... July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 9 Chair Pro Tem Schneider: Generally stopped. Mr. Wong: Oh yes. When remains are found, State Historical Preservation Division (SHPD) needs to be notified immediately. Just so the Commission... Mr. Chaffin: Does construction stop? Mr. Wong: Yes, the construction will stop. The Planning Department — when they give approval letters for permits, there is standard language that has all of this in there. Ms. Williams: Okay, then perhaps we could add to Section 8 of your Director's Report that we recommend supporting this (and) that we would also remind the applicant that any discovery of human remains or cultural materials be reported to the appropriate authority immediately. Chair Pro Tern Schneider: So do we have a motion in support of the applicant? Ms. Arinaga: Okay, I'll give it a shot. I move that we support this project and would like the applicants to bear in mind the process in the event that human remains and cultural remnants are found, to contact whoever is necessary. Alex, is that good enough? Mr. Wong: That works for me. Ms. Arinaga: Okay, don't ask me to repeat it. Chair Pro Tern Schneider: All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carried 5:0. Ms. Williams: Motion carried. COMMISSION EDUCATION COMMITTEE Ms. Williams: Okay, moving on to Agenda Item J., it's our Commission Education Committee. I see no information under that item. KAUA'I HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY UPDATE COMMITTEE Ms. Williams: So we will progress to Item K., Kaua`i Historical Resource Inventory Update Committee. No updates as well. HISTORIC PRESERVATION PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Ms. Williams: Agenda Item L., Historic Preservation Publicity Committee. No updates. July 19, 2018 KHPRC Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 9 HANAPEPE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT COMMITTEE Ms. Williams: Moving on to Item M., Hanapepe Bridge Replacement Project Committee. No updates.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND USE BACKGROUND The subject lot of record is located at 2991 Umi Street in Lrhu`e. The subject lot of record is approximately 5,414 sqft in size, and it is located in Nawiliwili Ahupuaa, Puna Moku, Kauai Island, Hawaii. It is located within the County of Kaua`i's General Commercial (C-G) Zoning District, State Land Use Urban District, and General Plan Designation Neighborhood Center.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS Planning Department staff checked this property against the Kauai Historic and Non - Historic Resource Inventory list, the State of Hawaii Register of Historic Places, and the National Register of Historic Places. Neither the restaurant nor the parcel are considered historically significant in that regard. Based on the HRS Section 6E, this property may be subject to §6E-42 Review, as it applies to privately owned properties over 50 years old, with the exception of single family residences or town homes not listed on the Hawaii or National Registers of Historic Places. However, SHPD generally reviews these projects only when county permitting agencies believe the proposed project has the potential to affect a historic property. If this report and the KHPRC review process finds that this proposed project does not have the potential to affect a historic property, then the county permitting agency will not require SHPD to review and comment on the project per HRS Section 6E. V. AGENCY COMMENTS None. VI. EVALUATION In reviewing the proposed project site for historical significance, the following should be considered: The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines, and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) should be considered when evaluating a property's potential for designation as "historically significant". The U.S. Department of the Interior's four National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criteria for evaluation should also be considered to insure that the County of Kauai remains consistent with national standards. TMK: (4) 3-6-007:024 September 20, 2018 Page 3 of 4 Criteria A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; • Based on the information on record at Real Property Assessment and the Planning Department, the existing structure is not associated with any events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, and therefore this historic property does not meet National Register Criteria A. Criteria B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in our past; Based on the information on record at the Planning Department, the existing structure and the property itself is not associated with the lives of any significant persons in our past.

Therefore, this historic property does not meet National Register Criteria C. Criteria D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Based on the information gathered by the Planning Department, it is not likely that this structure, as it stands today, will yield information important in history or prehistory. VII. CONCLUSION Based on the information contained in the Report's Findings and Evaluation, the Planning Department concludes that the Restaurant Kiibo building is not historically significant and the proposed demolition will not have an adverse impact on the historic integrity of the existing property. VIII. RECOMMENDATION Based on the foregoing evaluation and conclusion, the Planning Department recommends that the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission SUPPORT the proposed TMK: (4) 3-6-007:024 September 20, 2018 Page 4 of 4 demolition, provided that the Applicant adheres to the applicable regulatory and community plan documents: 1.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND USE BACKGROUND The subject lot of record is located at 4428 Rice Street in Lihu`e. The subject lot of record is approximately 22,103 sgft in size, and it is located in Nawiliwili Ahupuaa, Puna Moku, Kauai Island, Hawaii. It is located within the County of Kaua`i's Residential/Public Facilities (R-1/ST-P) Zoning District, State Land Use Urban District, and General Plan Designation Neighborhood Center. EXISTING STRUCTURES & PERMIT HISTORY According to Planning Department records, the structure was originally built in 1924 as the first dedicated library building on Kauai. The Lihu`e Plantation sold the building site to the Kauai Public Library Association Ltd. for one dollar, and Mrs. Albert Spencer Wilcox T , 94,0 61 , SEP 2 0 2018 TMK: (4) 3-6-005:005 September 20, 2018 Page 2 of 5 donated a total of $75,000 as a memorial to her late husband. Also in 1921, the territorial legislature passed the County Library Law which provided additional funds for the Lihu`e Service. In 1922, Hari Wood, prominent Honolulu architect, was selected to design the A. S. Wilcox Memorial Library, and John Hansen of Honolulu was contracted to construct the building for $62,960. After Hawaii became a state, the library was incorporated under the state-wide system and the Lihu`e library relocated to a new building which was constructed in 1969. The Kauai museum was opened to the public in December 1970. Since this relocation, the old library building has been the home of the Kauai Museum and has been renovated to house galleries for loan exhibits, school art shows, ethnic and heritage displays, the director's office, a gift shop, and museum archives. Per the Spencer Mason Architects, SHPO & KHS files (1988), distinguishing architectural features of the historic building include: rectangular -plan building with steeply pitched gable roof of glazed blue tile. Lava -stone veneer walls in horizontal bands. Two decorative bands of concrete tie into concrete lintels and sills of lower windows. Pyramiding brick stairs. Projecting entrance lanai in concrete, scored to resemble stone. Elaborately classical entry facade with arches, Ionic columns, niches, urns, and unusual broken pediment rising above bank of narrow 8-pane awning windows, all steel -framed. Entries to rear and upper - level lanai double as clerestory for barrel-vaulted main room. Below is a list of the recorded permit history: Permit No. Z-350-1989 — Addition.

No. 79000760) Registers of Historic Places as of May 31, 1979. V. AGENCY COMMENTS None, However, Applicant has enclosed several letters and testimonies'in support of the proposed bronze statue. (Exhibit `A') VI. EVALUATION In reviewing the proposed project site for historical significance, the following should be considered: 1. The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines, and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) should be considered when evaluating a property's potential for designation as "historically significant". The U.S. Department of the Interior's four National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criteria for evaluation should also be considered to insure that the County of Kauai remains consistent with national standards. Criteria A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, the existing structure is associated with Hawaii Statehood on Kauai, an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, and therefore this historic property does meet National Register Criteria A. Criteria B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in our past; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, the existing structure and the property itself is associated with the lives of the Wilcox family, Albert Spencer Wilcox, and prominent architect Hart Wood, significant persons in Hawaii and Kaua`i's past. Based on the available information, this historic property does meet National Register Criteria B. Criteria C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack TMK: (4) 3-6-005:005 September 20, 2018 Page 4 of 5 individual distinction; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, the existing building is associated with a specific type, period or method of construction, and does represent the work of a notable local master, architect Hart Wood. Therefore, this historic property does not meet National Register Criteria C. Criteria D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Based on the information gathered by the Planning Department, it is not likely that this structure, as it stands today, will yield information important in history or prehistory. 2. Although the existing structure (the Kauai Museum) is historically significant, and warrants preservation, the proposed addition of the new statue and pedestal will not have a direct impact or alter the historical significance of the existing building. Should the new statue need to be removed for any reason in the future, the demolition of the statue and pedestal should not have any significant impact on the historic significance. VII. CONCLUSION Based on the information contained in the Report's Findings and Evaluation, the Planning Department concludes that the proposed construction of the bronze statue will not have an adverse impact on the historic integrity of the existing property or historic museum building. VIII. RECOMMENDATION Based on the foregoing evaluation and conclusion, the Planning Department recommends that the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission SUPPORT the proposed construction of the bronze statue, provided that: 1. Applicant shall ensure that the style and material used for the pedestal is similar and consistent with the architectural style of the existing historic Kauai Museum, and the statue does not detract from the historic architectural appearance of the existing building by any means. The Commission is further advised that this report does not represent the Planning Department's final recommendation in view of the forthcoming public hearing process whereby the entire record should be considered prior to decision making. The entire record includes but is not be limited to: TMK: (4) 3-6-005:005 September 20, 2018 Page 5 of 5 a. Government agency comments; b.

For over a hundred years the Daughters of Hawaii, a nonprofit 5O1(c)(3) organization, has upheld our mission of historic preservation throughout Hawai'i commemorating and preserving HawaiTs history and wahi pana. Today, we are the caretakers of three historic sites, listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Two of the sites are managed and operated as historic museums, Hulihe'e Palace in Kailua-Kona on Hawai'i Island and Hanaiakamalama--the Queen Emma Summer Palace in Nu'uanu, Oahu. These Palaces were personal homes of our ali'i and today are preserved and shared as historic home museums, museums sharing the important history of our ali'i and a time in HawaiTs past not to be forgotten. The Daughters of Hawaii are very fortunate to collaborate with the Kauai Museum through our joint endeavors. We applaud and support the Museum's extensive work and undertakings to preserve the history of KauaTs ali'i. These bronze statues will commemorate our ali'i openly, sharing their stories to be appreciated and treasured freely. Sharing the story of KauaTs King Kaumuali'i and Queen Kapule through these statues during "Ke Au Hawaii —Year of the Hawaiian", the gubernatorial proclamation marking 2018 as the Year of the Hawaiian, further demonstrates the Museum's commitment to inspiring and promoting appreciation of KauaTs history—maika'i loa. We are honored and proud to support the Kauai Museum and thank you kindly for your consideration of their proposal.

Words can't explain the impact this will have on our people both here and Niihau. It makes so much sense to have these Bronze statues at the museum as it provides continuity with stories already told about our Ali'i. On behalf of the Kamehameha Scholars Program, with much aloha is honored to endorse the Bronze Statues of Kaumuali'i and Kekaiha`akulou to be placed in the front lawn of the Kauai Museum! This is newsworthy that's for sure. Mahalo, Kimo Chun Program Manager, Kamehameha Schools KA glimpse of Kauai's past... July 5, 2018 To Whom This May Concern: Kilohana has spent the last 31 years trying to preserve a piece of Kauai's history. We totally support the efforts of the Kauai Museum regarding the Bronze Statues of King Kaumuaili'i and Kekaiha'akulou that will be placed on the left front lawn of the Museum's main entrance fronting Rice Street. We feel these two statues will only add to the beauty of the Kauai Museum.

Lot 1-B Weke Road, Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii Kauai Tax Map Key No. (4) 5-5-002:107 Owner/Applicant: 3 Palms, LLC This office represents 3 Palms, LLC, a California limited liability company (referred to as the "Applicant"). A letter of authorization to submit this request on behalf of the Applicant is attached as Exhibit "A". Pursuant to our discussions, the Applicant's proposed Class 1 Zoning Permit is subject to review by the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission, and we request that this matter be placed on the next agenda. The Applicant applied for a Class 1 Zoning Permit and Shoreline Setback Determination Application to construct improvements on the property. The proposed improvements include: 1) New Dwelling Unit; 2) Guest House; 3) Hot Tub; 4) 6 Foot Wood Fence (not to enter 100' from Certified Shoreline); 5) Outdoor Shower; 6) Conversion of Existing Historic Dwelling Unit to an Accessory Structure (with entry landing); and 7) related site utilities as shown on the enclosed Site Plan (collectively referred to as the "Project"). The proposed Project is located on Weke Road, Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii, further identified as Kauai Tax Map Key No. (4) 5-5-002:107 ("Subject Property"). {W:/D0CS128970/1/W0155374.DOCX ) SEP 2 0 2018' Mr. Ka'aina Hull September 6, 2018 Page 2 The Subject Property is located in the State Land Use Commission ("SLUC") Urban District and in the County -zoned Open District and is allocated only a single density pursuant to the Kauai County Code, Chapter 8, Article 9. The structures on the Subject Property are listed on the Hawaii Register of Historic Places (see, enclosed Exhibit "B"). As such, the Applicant will be requesting a review by the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division ("SHPD") in order prepare a mitigation plan for the rehabilitation of the Douglas Baldwin Beach House. Following our discussions and a review of plan sets by your Department, the proposal in the Class I Zoning Permit for the Project is to retire the density of the existing historic dwelling unit. However, in order to retain historic qualities of the structure, the Applicant proposes to preserve the historic character of the Douglas Baldwin Beach House and rehabilitate the main structure. To achieve this approach, the Applicant proposes to convert the existing historic dwelling unit into a creative space by rehabilitating the exterior of the structure, removing the existing kitchen facilities, and renovating the interior. The Applicant proposed the following conditions to the Class I Zoning Permit: 1. Condition No. 1: "Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Applicant shall resolve the requirements for the alteration of the existing historic dwelling unit into an accessory structure and the demolition of the existing garage with the State Historic Preservation Division." 2. Condition No. 2: "Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Applicant shall obtain a SMA Minor Permit for the demolition of the existing garage as resolved with the State Historic Preservation Division." 3. Condition No. 3: "Prior to construction of the proposed dwelling unit, the Applicant shall remove the kitchen facilities within the existing historic dwelling unit and convert the existing historic dwelling unit into an accessory structure as resolved with the State Historic Preservation Division." In conjunction with this request and to resolve the noted conditions above, the Applicant caused a draft Historic American Building Survey ("HABS") (see, enclosed draft HABS Report as Exhibit "C") to be prepared to evaluate the existing structure to assist with the compliance with Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 6E, Section 8. {W:ID0C8/28970/I/W0155374.DOCX } Mr. Ka'aina Hull September 6, 2018 Page 3 The Douglas Baldwin Beach House is recognized for its significance to the history, architecture, and culture of Hawaii. The dwelling exemplifies the development of plantation -style beach houses in Hanalei during the 1920s-1930s. Although these types of dwellings were designed as modest vacation homes, the style is strongly influenced by the "camp houses" of plantation laborers and are associated with plantation history in Hawaii. The ubiquitous style is characterized by its simple form, wood construction, wide horizontal girts, symmetrical fenestration, and hipped roof. The Douglas Baldwin Beach House was noted to be historically significant for its association with the history and development of Hanalei as a leisure community during the first half of the twentieth century. The Applicant's goal is to preserve the main structure which is recognized as significant to the architecture of its time. In order to achieve the preservation, the Applicant will remove trex decking and liken its appearance to what previously existed in order for the structure to be recognized as a physical record of its time and place. Although the main structure is proposed to be rehabilitated, the adjacent garage is deteriorating and in poor condition. The adjacent garage is referenced in the Historic Registration Form; however, it is only vaguely mentioned in registration materials. It appears the garage can be considered a non-contributing feature and its removal will not impact the significance of the Douglas Baldwin Beach House. To achieve this approach, we've attached a proposed plan set to illustrate the proposed alternations to the Douglas Family Beach House see, enclosed Plan Set as Exhibit "D"). We look forward to discussing features, finishes, and construction techniques to be incorporated into the rehabilitation of the Douglas Baldwin Beach House.

The Douglas Baldwin beach house is. a single story frame house with a corrugated iron hip roof. The house sits on a large, 149' x 4571, ocean front lot, in a corner close to the road and removed from Hanalei Bay. The lot is characterized by an expansive lawn which.is fringed by coconut and more recent bread fruit and kukui trees. An ironwood hedge defines the Princeville boundary of the property. The house is rectangular in shape and is double wall in construction. The exterior walls are of 6" vertical planks and the interior walls and ceilings are tongue and groove. A large enclosed lanai, a 1935 addition, characterizes the front of the house. This lanai has jalousie windows on all sides, the result of a late 1960s remodeling. The facade is symmetrical with a centered entry with a small wooden porch in front. The rear wall of the lanai is the original facade of the house. it retains its original character including the two doorways which lead into the original living room (now dining room) and front bedroom, and the 2 x 2 double hung sash windows for each of the rooms. The twain body of the house predates 1928. Besides the two front rooms it has a dressing room and sitting room with a bathroom in between. A kitchen wing extends from the rear. All windows are 2 x 2 double hung, with the exception of a sliding winnow in the sitting room and jalousies in the kitchen and bathroom. A four panel door provides rear entrance/egress from the kitchen. All interior doors are also of four panels. A hip roof garage of similar construction sits on the makai side of the house. it has a sliding lattice door and its windows are double six pane sliding. There have been no recent additions or major alterations to this beach house. 0 See continuation shoot Certifying official has considered t, , gnilicance of this property its relation to otht 5perties: T ®nationally statewide [310cany Applicable National Register Criteria ❑ A ❑ l3 � ® D Criteria Considerations (Exceptions) ❑ A 08 ❑ C ❑ D ❑ E OF O G Areas of Significance (enter categories from instructions) Period of Significance Architecture Entertainmentfrecreation Cultural Affiliation u� Significant Dates 1 9_-4 5 Significant Person ArchitectlEuilder Doluglas Baldwin Unknown State significance of property, and justify criteria, criteria considerations, and areas and periods of significance noted above. The Douglas Baldwin beach house is architecturally significant as an example of a vacation beach house erected in Hanalei during the 1920s and 1930s. Although more modest and on a smaller scale than the beach houses erected by the Fayes, Sanborns or Wilcoxs, it is typical of the genre. Its disproportionately large lanai and simple materials are indicative of the short term recreational function of the house. The house is also significant for its associations with the development of Hanalei as a vacation community during the 1920s and 1930s. This is one of approximately a dozen surviving beach houses to be constructed during this period. A. S. Wilcox gave this property to his bookkeeper, who intended to subdivide it. Instead, however, he constructed this breach house and in turn sold it to Dwight Baldwin. The property remained in the Baldwin family's possession until 1965 when it was sold to the current'; owner and resident, Imua Forward. The house is also significant for its associations with Dwight Baldwin, who was manager of Alexander & Baldwin's3 Hawaiian Sugar company (now Olokele Sugar Company) in Makaweli, Kauai from 192E until 1942. He was born at Kaluhanui, Maui on January 5, 1894, a third generation Baldwin, son of Benjamin Douglas and Louise Theressa (Voss) Baldwin. He graduated from Funahou in 1913, and began his business career at -Hawaiian Sugar Company, of which his father was manager for over twenty-five years. in 1920 he moved to Kahuku Plantation, Oahu, and in 1923 became manager of that plantation.

DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE HAGS No. Hl-xxx (Page 2) Photo Key (Prepared by Mason Architects, Inc.) HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE HABS No. HI-xxx Location: The Douglas Baldwin Beach House is located at 5242 Weke Road, Hanalei, Kauai County, Hawaii. The property is within the Wai'oli ahupua`a, in the moku (district) of Halele'a on the island of Kaua'i. Weke Road extends along the property's south perimeter, in an east -west orientation. The east and west boundaries are abutted by residential properties and a beach right-of-way along the west fence. The north boundary terminates at Hanalei Beach, located approximately in the center of Hanalei Bay. The coordinates for this property, representative of the approximate center of the building, are latitude 22.204455 and longitude-159.498992. These coordinates were obtained in March 2018 via Google Earth, which uses WGS 1984 datum. There are no restrictions on the release of the locational data to the public. Significance: The Douglas Baldwin Beach House and its adjacent garage are listed on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places and have been recognized for their significance to the history, architecture, and culture of Hawai'i. The dwelling exemplifies the development of plantation -style beach houses in Hanalei during the 1920s-1930s. Although these types of dwellings were designed as modest vacation homes, the style is strongly influenced by the "camp houses" of plantation laborers and are associated with plantation history in Hawaii. The ubiquitous style is characterized by its simple form, wood construction, wide horizontal girts, symmetrical fenestration, and hipped roof. The Douglas Baldwin Beach House is also historically significant for its association with the history and development of Hanalei as a leisure community during the first half of the twentieth century. Description: Dwelling The Douglas Baldwin Beach House and its adjacent garage building are situated at the southeast corner of a large beachfront lot that is approximately 1.3 acres, along Hanalei Bay. The rectangular lot extends north to south and is approximately 149' x 457'. Both buildings are located close to Weke Road, which extends along the south side of the property, although the garage is located approximately 15' to the north of the dwelling. A small courtyard between the two buildings is concealed from the front lawn, by a wood plank fence that is approximately 6' in height. The remainder of the lot is characterized by an expansive lawn that is fringed by coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) and landscaped along the perimeter with 'ulu or breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis), naupaka (Scaevola sp.), kukui trees (Aleurites moluccana) and bromeliads (Bromeliaceae sp.). Portions of ironwood hedges (Casuarina equisetifolia), conceal the east boundary along a beach access right-of-way. An opening is located at the southwest boundary that provides access to the property from Weke Road. There is no driveway or paving, only a small gravel area at the front of the garage. The rural environment surrounding the property primarily includes single-family housing and small-scale commercial buildings. DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE NABS No. HI-xxx (Page 2) The Douglas Baldwin Beach House is a single -story dwelling, built in the Hawai'i plantation -style. The building has a rectangular footprint, extending east to west, with dimensions approximately 30' x 60'. The overall height is approximately 15'. It has post and pier foundation that is raised about 18" above grade. The crawl space located below the building is concealed with wood lattice that extends around its perimeter. The wood -framed building is single wall construction that is reinforced by an interior horizontal girt. The V x 6" tongue -and -groove planks have an exterior butt joint with a painted sand finish, while portions of the interior walls have a center v-joint. The wood hipped roof has wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, a wood fascia, and is covered with corrugated metal roofing. Evenly spaced hurricane hold-downs are located under the eaves, between the rafters. Metal gutters extend around three sides of the perimeter (all but the south side) with downspouts on the north side. A large enclosed lanal characterizes a large portion of the building at the west side. An "L-shaped", elevated wood deck wraps around the north and west sides of the enclosed lanai. Wide steps extend across the entire length of the deck on the north side, while two narrow staircases provide access to the west side. The deck has simplified, wood balustrades and is covered with composite decking. A narrow wood ramp is located off the kitchen at the northeast corner of the building. The ramp has similar wood balustrades, and sides concealed with wood lattice. The overall fenestration pattern is horizontal and irregular. All casings are wood. The enclosed lanai portion of the building has a band of rectangular openings around the upper portion of the walls. These openings are comprised of fixed windows with flanking glass jalousies. Transoms are located above the fixed windows on the north and south sides of the enclosed lanai. The transoms are filled with glass jalousies on the north side and filled with plywood on the south side. A single entrance opening is located in the center of the front (west facing) fagade that has a flush wood door with a transom. An aluminum sliding door is located at the enclosed lanai on the north side. Two -over -two, double -hung wood sash windows are located at the central portion of the dwelling, on the north and south sides. Two -by -two, horizontal sliding windows are also located at the central portion of the dwelling. Both of these window types appear to date to the 1920s construction. Window openings located at the bathroom and kitchen have been filled with glass jalousies, while a single horizontal -sliding aluminum window is located at the southeast corner of the dwelling. A single, side entrance is located off the kitchen on the northeast corner, which has a paneled wood door that appears to date to the 1920s construction. The interior of the dwelling is divided into seven rooms. The enclosed lanai makes up a large portion of the interior at the west side of the building. The east wall of the enclosed lanai appears to be the exterior wall of the 1920s construction. This wall has two -over -two, double -hung wood sash windows located at each end of the wall. Two bedrooms are located off the enclosed lanai, each with their own small storage room that flanks a Jack -and Jill bathroom between. The kitchen is located off the northeast corner at the rear of the dwelling. Although sheathing changes and alterations have been made, the majority of interior finishes are 1" x 6" tongue -and -groove planks for floors, walls, DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE HAGS No. HI-xxx (page 3) and ceilings. Interior walls are reinforced by horizontal girts, and openings have wide casings with thresholds. Interior doors are a mix of paneled and flush wood doors. Known Alterations: The dwelling appears to have various alterations, however without historic design drawings or photographs, the exact date and succession of these changes cannot be determined. The National Register (NR) Nomination Form states that the first known renovations included the extension and enclosure of the large west -facing lanai in 1935. A set of wide concrete steps are extant underneath the current lanai. As assumed by the NR Nomination, it is likely that the initial lanai was open. Based on historic tax information, it appears that no additions were made to the dwelling after 1938. The total area of both the house and garage shown in the 1938 tax records, match the present-day recorded area, with the house at 1128 square feet and the garage at 720 square feet. Window openings along the east side of the dwelling have an irregular fenestration pattern that differs from the central portion, where the majority of historic windows are located. The east side windows also have different casing and window types. Even though it is possible that the original windows were replaced with aluminum and glass jalousies, the size of the openings themselves and their location are not characteristic of an early twentieth-century plantation -style dwelling. It is appears that the openings on the east side were added later, possibly when the bathroom and kitchen were renovated. The overall footprint with the kitchen extension is not characteristic of 1920s- 1930s plantation -style dwellings, which were typically rectangular or square. There is no historic documentation or evidence to confirm that the kitchen was added later, however the material changes together with the incompatible window opening indicates that the kitchen was altered at some point. This was likely done during the 1935 renovation. The interior floor of the kitchen has an abrupt material change that runs perpendicular to the flooring about half -way into the kitchen. The central portion of the interior has multiple material and joinery style changes at the walls and ceilings. It is likely these changes are either due the alteration of interior space or replacement of deteriorated elements. Several of the historic wood panel doors, located at the interior, have been replaced with wood flush doors. The National Register Nomination Form notes that the glass jalousles and sliding doors were added to the enclosed lanai during a renovation in the 1960s. Historic tax records do show that improvements were made to the dwelling and the lanai specifically in August, 1959. Based on these records, it is likely that these improvements were made in 1959. The kitchen and bathroom appear to have been modified by the addition of updated, flush wood cabinetry and appliances. The date of the kitchen and bath renovation is could not be determined. Remaining alterations include, the addition of the L-shaped open deck that wraps the northwest corner of the dwelling, and the addition of a wood access ramp off the kitchen door. DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE HABS No. HI-xxx (Page 4) Garage The single -story garage was built at the same time as the house and constructed in a similar manner. The building has a rectangular footprint, extending north to south, with dimensions approximately 27' x 33'. The building has a concrete slab foundation and is framed in wood. The garage is also single wall construction that is reinforced by an interior horizontal girt. The 1" x 6" tongue -and -groove planks have an exterior butt joint with a painted sand finish, while portions of the interior walls have a center v-joint. The wood hipped roof has wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, a wood fascia, and is covered with corrugated metal roofing. Metal gutters extend around the perimeter with downspouts on the south side. An enclosed outdoor shower is located at the southeast corner of the building. A wood -framed pent roof that is covered with corrugated polycarbonate, is attached to the building and shelters the enclosed shower area. The shower is concealed by a wood plank fence that is approximately 6' in height. The overall fenestration pattern is horizontal and all casings are wood. The majority of windows are rectangular openings filled with three -over -three, horizontal -sliding wood sash windows that are covered with framed screens. The rectangular opening at the front (west facing) fagade has been filled with plywood. The remaining windows consist of three -over -three awning windows with framed screens. One of these windows, at the southwest corner, has been filled with plywood. Three single paneled wood doors are located at the south fagade. A large rectangular opening is located at the front fagade, and has two, large horizontal sliding wood doors that hang on a metal sliding track. The wide - framed doors are divided in half. The upper portion of the doors are wood lattice that is backed with a clear acrylic sheet, while the lower portion is tongue -and - groove. The interior of the garage is divided into two portions. The north side is a storage and work area with an open ceiling. The interior walls are covered with woven lauhala and the floor is concrete. The east side is further divided into four rooms with a closed ceiling. The central room is a living space with a small office, bathroom, and additional storage located off the south side, leading to a courtyard that is shared with the dwelling. The interior walls are covered with woven lauhala and the floor is concrete. Known Alterations: As with the dwelling, alterations to the garage cannot be confirmed with historic drawings or photographs. The majority of the exterior appears to be historic with a few exceptions. The upper portion of the sliding garage doors appears to have been replaced with wood lattice. The original material is unknown. The fenestration pattern is regular and extant windows appear to be historic. The multi -light horizontal sliding windows closely resemble the historic windows at the central portion of the dwelling. Only a couple of the historic wood -framed screens have been filled with plywood and painted. The interior of the garage also has multiple material and joinery style changes at the walls and ceilings. It is likely DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE HABS No. HI-xxx (Page 5) these changes are either due the alteration of interior space or replacement of deteriorated elements. History: Hanalei Overview The town of Hanalei is located on the north coast of Kaua'i Island, along Kuhia Highway (State Route 560), and close to where the Hanalei River empties into the sea. The terrain at Hanalei is flat coastal floodplain at the mouth of Hanalei Valley, grassland and marsh with some wooded areas. In the pre -contact period, the wetland areas near the present town of Hanalei most likely supported large populations, due to their suitability for taro cultivation.' Hanalei's main crop transitioned from taro to rice in the 1850s, and by the time of annexation (1898,) Hawai'i was third in rice production in the United States, behind Louisiana and South Carolina.2 As rice production reached it's heyday in the early twentieth century, Hanalei experienced an influx of leisure development that catered to the island's Caucasian elite.' The earliest of these vacation dwellings had been built in the late nineteenth century along Weke Road, but between 1910 and about 1935 a number of beach dwellings were built in the area by wealthy Kauai families for use as vacation homes and primary residences, mainly along Weke Road.' During the 1920s and 1930s the infusion of capital into the community from affluent vacationers prompted various business development and subsequent construction. By the early 1950s, buildings lined Kuhia Highway and Weke Road, with others scattered along their connecting streets. Today, taro cultivation has taken over former rice fields, and tourism is a major economic factor for the town. Site Overview The Douglas Baldwin Beach House and its associated oceanfront property had been a portion of Royal Patent Grant 6461, Land Court Award 597 granted to T.C.B. Rooke.5 The land had previously been offered to Joel Deadman by Governor Kaikioewa in 1834, on the condition that the land be cultivated with sugarcane and that an accompanying mill was built with lumber supplied by Kaikioewa. Deadman did not fulfill the conditions of the offer, so the associated land was granted to Dr. T.C.B. Rooke in 1842. The property had not been a portion of any kuleana claim or award. MWele records indicate that the area north of Weke Road was designated as an uninhabited beach area prior to Land Court Award 597.

The National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form for the property states that William N. Stewart acquired the property from Albert S. Wilcox sometime around 1917.' However, no records were located to confirm the transfer of title from Rooke to Wilcox, who purportedly owned the land prior to Stewart, Land Court Application 932 (Map 1), dated April 19, 1928, describes the boundaries of the neighboring property, but also includes the footprint of both the house and the garage surveyed in this report and annotates them as owned by W.N. Stewart.' Albert S. Wilcox was from a prominent missionary family, who had been in the eighth company of missionaries to Hawaii for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The Wilcox Family obtained fee simple title to the property for Wai`oli Mission, where A.S. Wilcox lived until 1877. He worked as the manager of Hanama'ulu and Lihu'e Plantations, and by 1899 had complete ownership of the Princeville Plantation.9 In 1899, Albert and his wife Emma built their home on Hanalei Bay, which is also listed on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places. William N. Stewart is reported to have been the business accountant for Wilcox.10 A newspaper announcement in The Garden Island, dated February 15, 1921, declared that Letters of Testamentary were being announced as part of Wilcox's will following his death in 1919, with W.N. Stewart is listed as a beneficiary in the announcement.11 It is possible that the property was either a gift or inherited from Wilcox. It appears that the Stewarts were also considered among KauaTs social elite. Multiple Garden Island articles from the 1920s detail their extensive business and community involvement on Kauai. Mr. Stewart was reported as being the treasurer for the Lihu`e Union Church and often associated with the Wilcox, Rice, and Sloggett families.12 Mrs. Stewart was a member of the Mokihana Club, which contributed to the establishment of the Kaua'i Library Association, public health and nursing programs, garden clubs, and beautification projects. The construction of the house is attributed to Stewart. The Land Court Application 932 (Map 1) confirms his ownership of the property by 1928 and tax records confirm that the house and the adjacent garage were built in 1928.i3 Although it has been reported that the buildings pre -date 1928, County of Kauai tax field books document the 1928 construction date on multiple pages.

Honolulu. April 19, 1928. DOUGLAS BALDWIN BEACH HOUSE NABS No. HI-xxx (Page 7) tax records (1938) report the age of the structures as ten years old.14 Douglas E. Baldwin is listed as the owner of the property in the 1938 tax records, no previous tax records showing ownership were found. A 2017 report prepared by ASM Affiliates, mentions that the house was renovated in 1935, enclosing the large west -facing veranda, though no sources were cited." Tax records pre- dating 1938 were not available to confirm the renovation. Although a number of alterations and improvements to the buildings were observed, no record of improvements were found in the tax field books. Only small increases were noted to improvements for the following years; 1952, 1956, 1959, and 1983. Land Court Application 1837 (Map 1) was filed on August 27, 1963 by applicants Douglas E. Baldwin and his wife Kathryn, defining the boundaries of the property. The map shows both the house and garage as the only buildings on the property, which was approximately 2.8-acres at the time. Hedges are annotated along the east and west boundaries, in addition to fences along the north and south boundaries.16 Douglas E. Baldwin was born on January 5, 1894 in Kaluanui, Haiku, Maui. His career in the commercial sugar industry began shortly after his graduation from Punahou School in 1913, when he was employed as a loading Luna (foreman) for the Hawaii an Sugar Company in Makaweli on the island of Kaua'i. Seven years later in 1920, Baldwin moved to O'ahu where he took over as manager for the Kahuku Plantation Company. Following the death of his father in 1928, Baldwin resigned from Kahuku Plantation and moved back to Kaua'i where he inherited the position of manager for the Hawaiian Sugar Company, an occupation his father held for the preceding quarter of a century. Douglas Baldwin served as plantation manager until 1942.17 The Baldwin family retained ownership of the property until 1965 when it was sold to Charles H. Forward. The title history indicates that ownership of the property then transferred to Charles H. Forward, Jr. in 1982.11 Redesignation of Land Court Application 1837 (Map 2), dated December 28, 1987, subdivided the property into two lots and accounted for erosion of the beachfront boundary. The portion of the property (TMK: (4) 5-5-002:107) containing the house and garage was reduced to approximately 1.3 acres.19 In 1988, the property was listed on the Hawai'i State Register of Historic Places, resulting in the tax exemption reflected in the records. 14 County of Kauai Department of Budget and Fiscal Services, "Tax Maps Branch History Sheet!

The fagade is symmetrical with a centered entry with a small wooden porch in front. The rear wall of the lanai is the original facade of the house. The main body of the house predates 1928. Besides the two front rooms it has a dressing room and sitting room with a bathroom in between. A kitchen wing extends from the rear. All windows are 2 x 2 double hung, with the exception of a sliding window in the sitting room and jalousies in the kitchen and bathroom. A four panel door provides rear entrance/egress from the kitchen. All interior doors are also of four panels. A hip roof garage of similar construction sits on the makai side of the house. It has a sliding lattice door and its windows are double six pane sliding.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS The Douglas Baldwin Beach House was listed on the State Register of Historic Places in August of 1987 (SIHP No. 30-03-9386). It is not listed on the National Register. V. AGENCY COMMENTS None. However, Applicant shall engage with State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) per HRS 6E-10 with the proposed project. VI. EVALUATION In reviewing the proposed project site for historical significance, the following should be considered: The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines, and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) should be considered when evaluating a property's potential for designation as "historically significant". The U.S. Department of the Interior's four National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criteria for evaluation should also be considered to insure that the County of Kaua` i remains consistent with national standards. Criteria A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, Planning Department records, and historical research provided by the Applicant, the existing structure is associated with plantation style architecture, culture, and local traditions on Kauai, an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. Therefore this historic property does meet National Register Criteria A. TMK: (4) 5-5-002:107 September 20, 2018 Page 4 of 6 Criteria B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in our past; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, Planning Department records, and historical research provided by the Applicant, the existing structure and the property itself is associated with the lives of the Wilcox family, Albert Spencer Wilcox, and Douglas Baldwin, manager of A&B's Hawaiian Sugar Co. (later 41okele Sugar Co) in Makaweli from 1928 to 1942, significant persons in Hawaii and Kaua`i's past. Based on the available information, this historic property does meet National Register Criteria B. Criteria C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; Based on the information provided in the original State Historic Register nomination form, and historical research provided by the Applicant, the existing building is associated with a specific type, period or method of distinctive Hawaiian plantation style construction. Therefore, this historic property does not meet National Register Criteria C. Criteria D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. • Based on the information gathered by the Planning Department, it is not likely that this structure, as it stands today, will yield information important in history or prehistory. 2. The Planning Department concurs with the Applicant's assertion that removal of the trex decking during rehabilitation will contribute to the restoration of more original historic architectural appearance of the plantation -style structure. 3. The Planning Department concurs with the Applicant's assertion that "... the garage can be considered a non-contributing feature and its removal will not impact the significance of the Douglas Baldwin Beach House. VII. CONCLUSION Based on the information contained in the Report's Findings and Evaluation, the Planning Department concludes that the proposed demolition of the historic garage, and rehabilitation and conversion of the existing historic Baldwin Beach House from a dwelling TMK: (4) 5-5-002:107 September 20, 2018 Page 5 of 6 unit to an accessory structure will not have an adverse -impact on the historic integrity of the existing property or historic beach house. VIII, RECOMMENDATION Based on the foregoing evaluation and conclusion, the Planning Department recommends that the Kauai Historic Preservation Review Commission SUPPORT the proposed construction of the bronze statue, provided that: 1. Applicant shall ensure that the architectural form, style, and material used for the proposed guest house and dwelling unit to be constructed is consistent with the U.S. Secretary of Interior Standards & Guidelines, and does not detract from or significantly alter the historic integrity of the existing property and the historic beach house. 2. Applicant shall be cognizant that KHPRC review and approval shall not obviate the Applicant or permit application submittal from the standard regulatory permitting review process and the permitting requirements set forth in the applicable State and County laws, including but not limited to the County of Kauai Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. 3. Applicant shall be cognizant of FIRS 6E-10 Review process as it pertains to privately owned properties listed on the Hawaii or National Registers of Historic Places, TMK: (4) 5-5-002:107 September 20, 2018 Page 6 of 6 The Commission is further advised that this report does not represent the Planning Department's final recommendation in view of the forthcoming public hearing process whereby the entire record should be considered prior to decision making.
