DESCRIPTIONOFTHEPROJECT

This matterarisesfrom applications fora ConditionalPermit(CP) andState Land Use CommissionSpecialPermit (SUP2) filedon December2015andrevisedinJanuary2016,byLanai ResortsLLC,a Hawai’i LimitedLiabilityCompanydoingbusinessas PulamaLanai (“Applicant”).

TheApplicantisproposingto constructtwo(2)private helistoppadson Lanai. Thetwo(2) helistop padswill belocatedon a totalof 2.5acres(KO’eleSite:1.6acres,ManeleSite: 0.9acre) locatedon a larger69,270-acreparcelidentifiedas TaxMapKey(2)4-9-002:001 (Parcel1). One

(1)helistoppad(approximately1.6acres)will belocatedonvacant agriculturallandandisadjacent to an existingtenniscomplexof the Lodgeat KO’elelandscapedwith trees,shrubs,anda parking areainthe KO’elearea. Thesecond helistoppad(approximately0.9acre)willbelocatedonlands currentlyused for a containerizedornamentalplant nurseryin the vicinityof the FourSeasons ResortLanai at MãneleBaywithanaccessgravelroadandgravel parkingareaintheMãnelearea. See Exhibit #1, Exhibit #2, andExhibit #3.

Theproposedhelistop padswillbeprivatelyownedandoperatedbytheApplicantand allow a means oftransportationviahelicopterfor registeredguestsof theMãneleResortor The Lodgeat KO’ele.Guestswouldbeflown fromthe otherislands,departing fromthe airport facilities thatare currentlyavailableon those neighborislands. The proposed helistoppadswill alsobe usedfor private chartered flights fortheApplicant,wherebytheflightscoulddepartfromand returnto Lãna’i. The respective projectsiteswouldbe located within0.25mileandone (1)milefromThe Lodgeat KO’eleandManeleResort,respectively,to provideanexclusivelevel ofservicefor guests. As the helistopswill bedesignedfortakeoffsandlandings,theproposed activitywillnotincludefacilitiesfor fuelingand hangering. Helicopters couldbe privatelyownedbythe Applicantor by otherprivate companiesandanticipatedto carrya maximum ofsix (6)passengers, includingthe pilot.

Aviationstandardsgoverningthe helistopsincludespacerequirements(landand air) for -2- obstacle-freeareas for landing and takeoff, as well as slope requirementsfor approachand departureroutes. TheApplicantretainedan aeronauticalconsultant forthe purposeof sitingand designingthe helistoppads. Helistoppadimprovements consistof 6-inchconcretewithbrown finish (including stripingand signage),6-inch base course, and 8-inchcompactedsubgrade. The improvementsinclude plannedapproachanddepartureflight paths,airfieldlights,grounddirectional arrows,andwindsocklocationpoles. Thehelistop ground padshavea 145-footFinalApproachand Take Off (FATO)safetyarea,105-footFATO,60-footTouchDown andLiftOff (TDLO)area, and 150-footClearon Levelarea. ThehelistopswillbeincompliancewithVisual FlightRules(VFR) and includeawindsockandappropriate markingsforvisualapproachbythepilotsinsteadofinstrument approach. The Ko’eleHelistopprojectand the MãneleHelistopprojectinvolves theremovalof severaltrees. TheMãneleHelistopalsoinvolvestheremovalofsurroundingstructures(e.g.,walls) withinthe nurserysite to providethe compatibleairspace. TheFederalAviationAdministration (FAA) requirescompliancewith their guidelinesand regulationof air space. For the M~nele Helistop,while a minimumnumberof trees will be requiredto be removed, the entire nursery operationwill be movedto areasoutsideof the helistopboundaries.SeeExhibit #4 and Exhibit #5.

Relatedimprovementsincludesite clearingand grubbing, excavationand grading. The anticipatedhelistop pads’usewillbe intermittentperiodsofflightswithina month, whichwouldnot exceed12flightsper month. The flightfrequencyis anticipatedto vary betweenthe KO’eleand MãneleHelistops. It is anticipated thatflightswill normallyoccurduring daytimehours,withan occasionalnight landing. During usage of the Manele Helistop,traffic on the private access unpavedroadwouldbecontrolledto avoidconflictwiththeflight activitiesof landingandtakeoffs. TheApplicant’soperatorof the helistopswill obtainthe necessaryaviation permitsto conductthis activity,andberesponsibleforthecleaningandmaintenanceofthe two(2)proposedhelipadsand surroundingareasto maintaintheclear flightpaths.Whentherearenightlandingsand/ortakeoffs, portableomnidirectionalapproachlightswilldefinetheapproachpath,andportable beaconlights will be placedsurroundingthe helistopapproximately30 minutespriorto arrival/departure.The windsockwillbelightedanda helistopidentificationbeaconwillbeinplace. Unauthorizedpersons will be restrained from accessto the takeoff/landingarea duringall helicopter flightoperationsby use ofa non-obstructing safetybarrier. TheApplicantwillreexamine obstaclesinthevicinityofthe approach/departurepathson anannualbasisin accordancewith FAAstandards.

The FAAhas helicopter flightrestrictionsfor the abovegroundlevel(AGL)limitationsfor Lãna’i. “FAA Common ProceduresManual,AppendixD, Islandof Lanai”notesthat for an area around Lãna’iCity andfor the Mãnele areatheAGLminimumflightis 1,500feet. Foreverywhere elseontheisland,itis500feetAGL. The Codeof FederalRegulations,Section 91.119specifically limitsflights over“congestedareas”to 1,000feetAGLandfor “otherthancongestedareas”to 500 feetAGL. TheHawai’iFAAregulationsarewhatregulateaNhelicopter flightsoverLãna’iandwillbe compliedwith bythe Applicant.

Reason for a ConditionalPermit. The project sites are located on property zoned “Agricultural”by MauiCountyZoning. Helistoppads are not set forthas a permitted or specialusewithintheCounty’s“Agricultural”zoning district,asprovidedbyChapter19.30A of the MauiCountyCode. Therefore,a County ConditionalPermit(CP)is requiredfor the proposedproject.

Reasonfora StateLandUseSpecialPermit.Theprojectsiteforthe KO’eleHelistoppadis locatedintheStateLandUse“Rural”Districtandthe ManeleHelistoppadiswithintheState -3- Land Use“Agricultural”District. The Lãna’iCommunityPlandesignatesthe projectsites “Agriculture”.Sincehelistoppadsare notanoutrightpermitteduseintheState“Rural”and “Agricultural”Districts,a StateLandUseCommissionSpecialPermit (SUP2)is requiredfor the proposedactivity.

As the totalprojectareafor the KO’eleHelistop andMãneleHelistopis approximately2.5 acres,this requestseeksapprovalof the Lãna’iPlanningCommission (Commission).

OTHERPERMITTINGAND GOVERNMENTAPPROVALS

In additionto the StateSpecial Permitand County ConditionalPermit, theApplicantalso received reviewandapprovaifromtheU.S.DepartmentofTransportationFAAinordertopermitthe two (2) helistopfacilities. In March2015, theFAA provideda Determinationof Landing Area Proposalto theApplicantfor the KO’eleand MãneleHelistopsites. The Determinationof Landing AreaProposalfor eachhelistopsite noted that:

• . theproposedlandingarea, willnot adversely affectthesafeand efficientuseof thenavigableairspaceby aircraft,provided:

• All operationsare conductedin VFRweatherconditions. • Thelandingareais limitedtoprivateuse. • Thetakeoff/landingareais appropriatelymarked. • A non-obstructingwindindicatorismaintained adjacenttothetakeoff/landing area.

ThepilotsarebriefedandarefamiliarwiththeFinalApproach andTakeOff(FA TO) sizeand theobstructionsto thenortheastand eastof the heIi~orL

All aircraft using the site will have Hover Outof GroundEffect (HOGE)power available.

See Exhibit #6. The Determinationof LandingAreaalsoincludedan amendmentto the AirportMasterRecordfor the Lãna9CityAirportto permitthe two(2) helistopfacilities. Priorto issuing theapprovalof the helistopfacilities,a FAA Inspector conducteda site visit of each proposedsiteinJanuary2015. Eachhelistopsitewassurveyedandstakedforthesiteinspection, andthecenterofeach helistoppadwasidentified.Additionally,existingandproposed elevationsof thepadsand thehelicoptertake-offandlandingperimeterswerealsostakedout. TheApplicantwill complywith the recommendationsnotedin the FAA’sDeterminationof Landing Area proposal. Helistopconstruction,operations,andsafetywillbeaccordingto FAAstandards.Prior totheuse of the helistoppads,a representativefromthe FAAFlightStandardsServicewillevaluatethehelistop padsfor compliancewithregulations.

The Applicantalso coordinatedwith the State Departmentof Transportation,Airports Division(DOT-A)as to whethera Statepermit wouldbe requiredfor the helistoppads. By letter datedJuly28,2014, the DOT-AnotedthatnoStatepermitis requiredfortheproposedproject.See Exhibit #7.

ANALYSIS

LANDUSE

1. The KO’elepropertyis inthe State Land Use Rural Districtand theMãnele propertyis locatedin theStateLandUseAgriculturalDistrict.TheLana’iCommunityPlandesignates the project sites as Agricultural”and MauiCounty zoning designatesboth sites as “Agricultural”. HelistopPads are not a permitteduse in the State Land Use Ruraland AgriculturalDistricts,anda StateLandUseCommissionSpecialUsePermitis required for the activity.

2. Accordingto CountyZoning maps, theKO’eleand Mãnele Projectsites are zonedas Agricultural.Helistoppadsarenotsetforthasapermittedorspecialusewithin the County’s Agriculturalzoningdistrict,asprovidedbyChapter19.30Aofthe MauiCountyCode. Hence a County ConditionalPermitis requiredfor the HelistopPadactivitieson the KO’eleand Mãnelesites.

3. MAUlCOUNTYGENERALPLAN.As indicatedbythe MauiCountyCharter, thepurposeof the generalplanshallbeto:

SOCIO-ECONOMICIMPACTS

On a short-termbasis, the project will support constructionand construction-related employmentand havea beneficial impacton the localeconomyduringconstruction.Inthe long- term,theadditionaltransportfeaturemayattract additional guestsatThe Lodgeat KO’eleand the MãneleResort,whichwouldprovidefor additional revenuesfor Lanai, the County,andthe State fromeachresort.

ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTS

1. OpenSpaceandScenic Resources-- Thetwo(2)helistop padsarelowinprofile. Adverse impactsto openspaceor scenic resourcesare notanticipatedas a resultof theproject.

The locationof the helistopsdo notencompassexistingtraditional accessorwalkingtrails between thecoastandtraditionaluplandarea. Theprojectisnotanticipatedtopresentany adverseimpactson traditionalbeachandmountainaccess.

2. Noiseand Air Quality-- Ambientnoiseconditionsin the areaare generallyattributableto naturalconditions(i.e.windandrain).Ambientnoiseconditions maybetemporarilyaffected

- 18- byconstruction-relatedactivities. Variousconstructionmachineryareanticipatedto bethe dominantnoisegenerating sourcesduringtheconstructionperiod.

Usageof theprivate helistop padsis anticipatedto be duringintermittentperiods of flight within a month,which would not exceed 12 flights permonth. The flight frequencyis anticipatedto vary betweenKOeleand MãneleHelistops. It is anticipatedthatflightswill normallyoccur duringdaytimehours,with anoccasionalnight landing. Helistopactivity (takeoffandlanding)producesatransitorysound. Onlandingortakeoff,the soundeventis approximately45 secondsin duration. Atanypointalong theflightpath,thehelicopterwill be heardfor a fewsecondsdueto thetransitorynatureof theactivity. The helicopterswill be poweredbygasturbine engines.

Theprojectsitesarelocatedoncurrentlynon-productiveagriculturallands.Inthe long-term, there are no adverseair qualityconditionsin the areas. Duringconstruction,airborne particulatesas a resultof constructionrelatedactivitiesmaytemporarilyaffectthe ambient air qualitywithin theimmediatevicinityof the projectsites.

Mitigation measures forconstruction-relatedactivities will include using the proper equipmentandconducting regular vehiclemaintenanceto reduce noiselevels. Equipment mufflers or other noise attenuatingequipment may also be employed as required. Constructionactivitiesontheprojectsiteswillberestrictedto hoursbetween7:00am. and 4:30 p.m., Monday throughFriday,as practicable, excludingholidays. By effectively employingthese measures,potential noise-relatedimpacts from constructionrelated activitieswill be mitigated.

Theflightpathfor the proposedKO’eleHelistoppad,locatedcentrallyin Lãn&i,will occur overprimarilyvacantandundevelopedland andawayfromthepopulated/urbanizedareas of Lanai Cityandthe Equestrian Center. Theflightpathfor the proposedMãneleHelistop padlocatedapproximatelyone(1)milefromthe southerncoastlinewillavoid thepopulated residentialareasinthe MãneieResort.Helicoptersaremanufacturedwithsoundreduction components(e.g.,scimitar tippedrotorblades,directedtail rotor,and high efficientsmall turbo-shaftengines)andthesetypesofcomponentswillbeincludedinthehelicoptersused.

Mitigativemeasuresduringconstructionwill includeuse ofwaterwagonsandsprinklersto controldust,dustscreens,aswellasother appropriateBestManagementPractices(BMP) to ensurethat fugitive dustfrom theprojectareas are minimized. By employingthese mitigativemeasures, constructionrelatedactivitiesare notanticipatedto posea significant impactto theair qualityin the surroundingarea.

Subject: Request for Comments on an Application for Conditional Permit and Special Use Permit, Two (2) Helistop Pads at KO”ele and M~.ne1e, P~lama L&na’i, Paoma’i and Pãlãwai, L&na’i, Hawaii TMK: (2)4-9- 002:001 (POR.) CP 2015/0010 and SUP2 2015/0014

The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands acknowledges receiving the request for comments on the above—cited project. The location of the Kö’ele Helistop Pad is less than a mile from DHHL residential homestead lots and land at Lanai City. See Exhibit ‘A’

After reviewing the project description, we do not anticipate significant impacts to our lands or beneficiaries from the project. However, we offer the following comments and request that the following additional information be provided by the applicant: 1. KO’ele Site: Helicopter flights taking off from and landing at the K~’ele Helistop Pad may come close to DHHL residential homestead land in the northwest quadrant of Lanai City. The old topo map included in Appendix C of the application is drawn at too big a scale to be useful and does not show parcel lines, roads etc. Please provide a georeferenced map, at a smaller scale, focused on the Lanai City area, that clearly shows the area around Lanai City with roads and other references and that describes whether the minimum AGL is 1,000 or 1,500 feet, so that DHHL can better assess potential impacts to residential homesteads on Hawaiian Home Lands. If possible, unless during an Mr. Kurt Wollenhaupt February 19, 2016 Page 2

emergency, helicopters should avoid flying over Lanai City completely in order to mitigate potential noise impacts to the community.

2, Manele Site: No concerns,

In addition, we highly encourage all agencies to consult with Hawaiian Homestead community associations and other (N)native Hawaiian organizations when assessing environmental impacts in order to better assess potential impacts to cultural and natural resources, access and other rights of Native Hawaiians as well as to better design suitable mitigation measures to minimize those impacts. Mahalo for the opportunity to provide comments, If you have any questions, please call Nancy McPherson, Planner at 620-9519 or contact via email at nancy.m.mcpherson@hawai±,gov,

Response: A NPDES permitapplicationwill be submittedto your agency,as maybe applicable fortheproposedproject

Comment:

3, if yourprojectInvolves workin, over,or underwatersof the United States,it is highlyrecommendedthatyoucontacttheArmy Corpof Engineers, RegulatotyBranch (Tel: 835-4303)regarding their permittingrequirements.

Pursuantto Federal WaterPollutionControlAct [commonlyknown as the “CleanWaterAct” (CWA)],Paragraph401(a)(1),a Section 401 Water Quality Certification(WQC) is required for “(a]ny applicantfor Federallicense orpermit to conductany activity including, but not limited to, the constructionor operationof facilities,which may result in any dischargeinto the navigable waters ,.. “(emphasisadded).Theterm “discharge”is definedin CWA,Subsections502(16), 502(12),and 502(6);Title 40 of the Codeof FederalRegulations, Section122.2;aridHAR,Chapter11- 54,

Response: The proposedprojectdoesnot involvedischargeintoor work in, overor underwaters of the United Statesand as such a U.S. Army Corp of EngineersDepartmentof Army Permitand Section401 Water Quality Certificationrequirementsare notanticipatedto be triggered or required for theproject.

Comment

4. Pleasenotethatalldischargesrelatedto theprojectconstructionor operationactivities,whetheror notNPDES permit coverage and/or Section401WQC arerequired,mustcomplywiththeState’s Water QualityStandards,Noncompliancewithwaterqualityrequirements containedin HAR,Chapter11-54,and/orpermittingrequirements, specifiedin HAR,Chapter11-55,may be subjectto penalties of $25,000perdayperviolation.

Respons~ The Applicantacknowledgesthat all dischargesrelatedto the project constructionand operationswill comply withthe Stat&s WaterQuality AlecWong,P.C. March11,2016 Page4

Standards, whether or not NPDES permit coverage andlor Section 401 Water Quality Certificationis required.

Comment:

5. It is the State’spositionthat all projects mustreduce,reuse,and recycleto protect,restore,andsustainwaterqualityandbeneficial usesof Statewaters.Projectplanningshould:

a. Treat stormwater as a resource to be protected by integratingit into project planningand permitting.Storm waterhaslongbeenrecognizedasa sourceof irrigationthat will not depletepotable water resources What is often overlookedis that storn7water rechargesground water suppliesand feeds streamsand estuaries,’to ensurethat thesewatercyclesarenot disrupted)stormwatercannotbe relegatedas a wasteproductof impervioussurfaces,Any projectplanningmust recognizestormwateras anassetthat sustainsand protects naturalecosystems andtraditional beneficial uses of State waters, ilke community beautification,beach going, swimming,and fishing. The approachesnecessary to do so, Including low impact developmentmethods or ecological blo-engineoringof drainagewaysmustbe identifiedIn theplanningstagesto allow designers opportunityto include thoseapproachesup front, prior to seeking zoning, construction,or building permits.

Respons~ The surface runoff dischargefrom the KO’ele Helistop and Mänele Helistop projectsitesare not anticipatedto besignificantas therewiflbe no changeto existingdrainagepatternsin the projectareas. Permanent BestManagementPractices (BMPs)willbe includedin the projectdesign for bothsitessuchas vegetatedswalesto increasepercolationof runoff watersintothe soil).A detaileddrainageplanwill bedevelopedduringthe project design phase, and low impactdevelopmentmethodsmay be consideredfortheproject,asmaybeappropriate. AlecWong,P.C. Marchll,2016 Page5

Comment:

h. Clearlyarticulatethe State’sposition on waterqualityand thebeneficialusesof State waters,Theplan should include statementsregardingthe implementationof methods to conservenaturalresources(e.g.,minimizing potable water for irrigation, gray waterre-useoptions,energy conservation throughsmartdesign)and improvewaterquality.

Respoi~~ The proposedprojectdoesnotinvolvedischargeinto orimpactsto State waters. The helistop operationsare not anticipatedto usewateror generatewastewaterflow at either the KO’eleHelistopand M~nele Helistopprojectsites.

Comment:

c. Considerstorm water Best ManagementPractice(BMP) approachesthat minimizethe use of potable water for irrigationthroughstormwaterstorageand reuse,percolate storm water to rechargegroundwaterto revitalizenatural hydrology, andtreatstormwaterwhichis tobedischarged.

Response: A detaileddrainageplan will be developedduringthe projectdesign phase,andBMPmeasureswillbe consideredasmaybeapplicabletothe project. As previouslynoted,the helistopoperationsarenotanticipatedto usewaterfor irrigation.

Comment:

Consider the use of green building practices,such as perilous pavementand landscapingwith native vegetation, to improvewaterquafity by reducingexcesslVOrunoff and theneed forexcessivefertilization,respectively.

Response: As the drainageplanis beingdeveloped duringthe projectdesignphase, use of green buildingpracticeswill beconsideredas maybe appropriate for the project. AlecWong,PC. March11,2016 Page6

Comment;

e. Identify opportunitiesfor retrofitting or bio.engineering existing storm water infrastructureto restore ecological function while maintaining,or even enhancing,hydraulic capacity.Particularconsideration shouldbe given to areas pronetoflooding,or wheretheinfrastructureis agedandwill needtoberehabilitated.

Response: There is no existingstormwater infrastructureon or nearbythe Kö’ele Helistopand MäneleHelistopproject sites, Accordingto the Federal EmergencyManagen~entAgencyFloodInsuranceRate Map,the project sites are locatedin Zone X, an area of minimal floodhazard and determinedto be outsidethe 0.2percentannualchancefloodplain.

2.1 Native Lore and Historical Accounts: Early Settlement of Lãna’i

Làna’iis sixth in sizeof the major HawaiianIslands(fig. 3),andlike all islandsin the group,it wasformed throughvolcaniceruptionsandis constantlybeingreshapedby erosionalactivity.Theprimarycalderawasin the areanow knownasthePãiäwaiBasin, andit is estimatedthat Läna’ifirst roseabovesealevelapproximately1.5million years ago.it is approximately13.25nh. long by :13ml. wide,and at its highestpoint, Läna’i Hale,stands3370 ft. abovesealevel.Theislandof rvioloka’ilies to thenorth of Lãna’i, acrossthe Kalohi Channel,and.Mauilies to the east,acrossthe ‘Au’aua:nclNaeheehe Channels;thechannelof Ke-ala-i-Kahjkjandtheislandof Kaho’olawelie tothe southeast. Thesouthernandwesternsidesof Läna’ifacetheopenoceanandarefringedbyimposing cliff sides,whilethewindwardsideslopesgentlyto thesea.Thus,Lãna’isitsin theleeof its sister islands. Itshistory, likethatof Moloka’iandKaho’olawe,hasalmostalwaysbeen overshadowedbyits largerneighbor,Maui.

Thenameof the islandmaybeliterally translatedas“Dayof Conquest”—Lameaning day andNa’i meaningConquest Throughthetradition ofthechiefKaululã’au,Lana’iwas namedon thedaythat the youngchiefvanquishedthe evil ghostsfrom the island.An earlymissionarydictionarytranslatestheisland’snameas“Hump,”but this translation doesnot fit in with traditionalknowledgeof themeaningor pronunciationof thename [cf. 36]. In additionto political andsocial contexts,Läna’i’srelationshipto MauiandMoloka’i includesasignificantenvironmentaloneaswell,sitting asit doesin therain shadowof the largerandhigherislands.Läna’t’sfragile ecosystem evolvedslowlyovercountless centuries—withoutthepresenceof herbivoresor man—givingriseto cloudforestzones, whichgavelife to the land,and made theislandhospitableto peoplewhenthey settled Lãna’i perhapsaslong as 1,000yearsago. Thereweretwo primary forest-watershed zones,themajorwatershedof Lãna’iHaleat thehighestpeakof Pãiãwai Ahupua’a;and whathashistoricallybeencalledtheKánepu’uforestzoneof Ka’ãAhupua’a.Untouched for countlesscenturies, theforestsystemsof Lana’i evolvedtheuniqueabthtyto capture dropletsof water,whichin turn percolatedthroughthegroundto createwatersources that werespreadfrom mountainto shoreacrossthe island. Whilethesepreciousforest regionshavebeenradicallyalteredbyman’sactivitiesandferal animals,evidenceof the region’swater-producingcapabilitiesarestill visibleonthe landscapeandin traditional accounts andhistoricliterature.

10 2.1.3 He Mo’olelo no KaWuIã’au:A Tradition of Kaululã’au

Oneof thebestknowntraditionalaccountsof Läna’idatesfromtheearlyfifteenthcentury andassociatestheislandwith therulingchiefsof Maui.In thesenarratives,ayoungchief, Kaululä’au,wasbornto Kalca’alaneoandKanikania’uja.Kaka’aI.aneo’selderbrotherwas Kãka’e, andFornanderreportedthat theseroyalbrothersjointly ruled MauiandLãna’i [13:11-82,831.DuringKäka’eandKaka’alaneo’snile, andfor manygenerationspreceding it, anyonewhoattemptedto liveon Läna’iexperiencedgreatdifficulties,astheislandwas inhabitedby evilghosts/spiritsruledby their icing,Pahulu. Whiletherearenumerous narrativesthat describehowKauiulä’a-ucameto freeLt~na’i from therule of Pahulu,thusmakingit safefor people to inhabittheisland[3;10],there aretwomajorversions of this tradition with variationsonthe events.Thebestknownis theversionpublishedby KingDavid Kalãkauain 1888,but themostdetailedversionwas publishedin the Hawaiianlanguagein 1863in associationwith anothertradition from Maui(see“KaMooleloo Elelo,”p. 15). KingKaiäkaua’sversionprovidesasignificant descriptionof L~n&iandtheabilityof its peopleto sustainthemselves byworkingtheland andfishingtheseaaroundtheisland. Throughthe encouragementof his friend andadvisorWaiterMurrayG:ibson,1the icing compiledthetraditionsfoundwithin TheLegendsandMythsof Hawaii [29] anddescribed Läna’iasbeingr:ichlysuppliedwith foodcrops,naturalresources, andfisheries that,but for thepresenceof theevilbeings, madeit adesirableplaceto live, Excerptsof Kalãkaua’sversionfollow, entitled ‘The SacredSpear-Point”and “Kelea, the SurfRiderof Maui.”After theseare anexcerptof “KaMooleloo Eleio,”theHawaiian- languageversionof Kauluki’au’slegend(p.15).

Kaululaauwasoneof the sonsof Kakaalaneo,brother of, andjoint ruler with, Kakaein the governmentof Maui ... Thecourtof thebrotherswasat Lele(flowLahaina),andwasoneof the most distinguishedin the [island] group. Themother of KaululaauwasKanikaniaula,of the familyof Karnauaua,king of Molokai,throughhis sonHaili, whowasthe brother or half-brotherof KeoloewaandKaupeepee... Kauluiaauwasprobablybornsomewherebetween theyears 1390and1400. Hehadahalf-sister,whose namewasWao,andahalf-brother, Kaihiwalua... [Kaululaau]had a congenialfollowing of companionsandretainers,who assistedhimin his schemesof mischief...

11 death-warningnotesof the alae,andfrightenedpeopleby soundingit near their doors;andto othershe causedinformation to beconveyedthat they werebeingprayedto death. Notwithstandingthesemisdemeanors,Kaululaauwaspopular with the people,sincethe chiefsor membersof the royal householdwereusually thevictimsof hismischievousfreaks.Hewasencouragedin his disposition to qualifyhimselffor the priesthood,under theinstructionof the eminent high-priestandprophet,Waoiani,andhad madesubstantialadvancesin the callingwhenhewasbanished totheislandof Lanaibyhisroyalfatherfor an offencewhichcouldneitherbeoverlookednor forgiven. At thattimeLanaiwasinfestedwith anumberof gnomes,monstersandevil spirits,amongthemthegiganticmoo,Mooaleo.Theyravagedfields,uprooted cocoanut-trees,destroyedthe wallsof fish-ponds,andotherwisefrightened anddiscomfitedtheinhabitantsof the island.Thathis residencetheremight be madeendurable,Kau[uiaauwasinstructedby thekaulasand sorcerers of the court in manycharms,spells,prayersand incantationswith which to resistthepowersof the supernaturalmonsters.Wheninformedof these exorcisingagenciesby Kauiuiaau, hisfriend,thevenerableWaolani,told him that theywouldavailhim nothingagainstthemorepowerfulandmalignant of thedemonsof Lanai. Disheartenedat thedeclaration,Kaululaauwasabout toleavethe heiauto embarkfor Lanai,whenWaolani,aftersomehesitation,stayedhis departure, and,enteringtheinnertemple,soonreturnedwith a smallroll of kapain his hand. Slowlyuncordingandremovingmanyfolds of cloth, anivory spear- point aspanin lengthwasfinallybroughtto view.Holdingit before theprince, hesaid: Takethis. It will serveyouin any wayyou may require.Its powers aregreaterthanthoseof anygodinhabitingthe earth.It hasbeen dippedin the watersof Po,andmanygenerationsagowasleft by Lonoupononeof his altarsfor theprotectionof atemplemenaced byamightyfish-godwhofoundaretreatbeneathit in agreatcavern connectedwith thesea.Drawalinewithit andnothingcan passthe mark.Affix it to a spearandthrow it, andit will reach theobject, nomatterhowfar distant.Much moreit will do,but let whatI have saidsuffice. Theprinceeagerly reachedto possessthetreasure,but thepriest withdrew it andcontinued:

I giveit to youonconditionthatit passfromyou tonootherhands than mine,and that if I amno longerliving whenyou return to Maui—asyou somedaywill—youwill secretlydepositit with my bones.SweartOthis in thenameof Lono.

Kaululaausolemnlypronouncedtherequiredoath.Thepriestthenhanded

12 him thetalisman,wrappedin the kapafrom whichit hadbeentaken,andhe left thetemple,andimmediatelyembarkedwith anumberof his attendants for Lanai. ReachingLanai,heestablished hishouseholdonthesouthsideof theisland. Learninghis nameandrank,thepeopletreatedhim with greatrespect—for Lanaiwasthen a dependencyof Maui—assistedin the constructionof the houses necessaryfor his accommodation,andprovidedhim with fish, pol, fruits andpotatoesin greatabundance.In return for this devotionhe set aboutridding theislandof the supernaturalpestswith whichit hadbeenfor yearsafflicted.

Thetraditioncontinuesby describingeventsin which Kaululã’auparticipatedin battles with variousdemons~ •1ar~tothoseonL~na’i.Hisjourney took him to theislandsof Hawai’i,Moloka’i,and O’ahuprior tohis returnto Maui. Uponreturning to Maui,Kaulula’auwaswelcomedhomeby his father, andlearned that Waolani,hispriestlyinstructorandfriend,haddied.Recallingthepromisemadeto Waolani,Kaululä’ausecretlyhid thesacredspear-pointof Lonowith the bonesof Waolani. Kaululä’aumarriedLaiea-a-Ewa,ahighchiefessof O’ahu,andtogether theylived outtheir lives,residingatKaua’ulain Lãhainaand parentectsixchildren[29:225]. In thetraditionof “Keiea,theSurf-Riderof Maui”[29:229—246],mentionis madeagain of Kaululã’auandhisac[venturesonLäna’i.Theaccountis centeredonKelea,thedaughter of KahekiliI, eldercousinof Kaululã’au.It is reportedthat whenKahekiliI ascended to thethrone(Ca.1415),he“becamekingof MauiandLanai;for duringthatperiodthelatter islandwasundertheprotection ofthe moisof Maui,while Molokaistill maintainedits independence”[29:229]. KingKalakauadescribed theintroduction of‘z~luto Lele,nowknownasLãhaina, and Kaululã’au’sbanishmentto Läna’i:

It wasKakaalaneowhointroducedthebread-fruittherefrom Hawaii... For somedisrespect shownto hisroyalbrother[Kakae],whosementalweakness doubtlesssubjectedhim to unkind remarks,hebanished hissonKaululaau to Lanai,whichisland,traditionsavers,wasat that timeinfestedbypowerful andmalignantspirits. Theykilled pigs andfowls,uprootedcocoanut-trees andblighted taro patches, anda giganticandmischievousgnomeamused himselfby gliding likeahugemoleunderthehutsof his victimsandalmost upsettingthem. Theprieststried in vain to quiet thesemaliciousspirits. Nosoonerwere they exorcisedawayfrom onelocality that theyappearedin another,andif theygavethe taro patchesarestit wasonlyto teartheunripebananasfrom their stems,or rendthewallsandemhankmenjsof artificialponds,that their storesof fishesmightescapeto thesea.Awareof thesegrievances,Kaululaau tookwith him to Lanaiatalismanof rare powers.It wasthegift of his friend, the high-priestof his father, and consistedof a spear-pointthat hadbeen dippedin the watersof Po,the land of death,andmanygenerations before left by Lono ononeof his altars. Crowningalong spearwith this sacredpoint, Kaululaau attackedthe dis turbing spirits, and in a short time succeededeither in bringing them to submissionor driving them from the island.ThegnomeMooaleowasthe mostdifficult to vanquish.it avoidedtheprince,andfor sometimemanaged to keepbeyondthe influenceof the charmedspear-point;but the monster wasfinally caughtwithin the boundariesof a circularline scratchedwith

But therewasno path of escapein that direction.It soonencounteredalakeof fire, andwas compelledto returnto the surface,whereit humbleditself beforetheprince, andpromised,if liberated,to quit theislandfor ever.Kaululaauobliterated sixtypacesof theline of imprisonment,to enable Moo~leoto passto thesea, into whichthehideousbeingplungedanddisappeared,neverto be seenagain onLanai..[29:229—230]

2.1.5 Ka Moolelo o Eleio (TheTradition of Eleio)

Thetradition ofEleiois setin thetimeof Kaka’aianeo’srule overMaui,Läna’i,Moloka’i, andKaho’olawe(ca.1400),andwaspublishedby W.N.Pualewa,in theHawaiian-language newspaperKuokoaiii 1863,‘[‘heaccounttellsusthatEleiowasafamouskükiniassociated with thecourtof theking.Hewasnotedfor his abilityto travelthecircuit oftheisland,to fetchachoicefishfrom onedistrictandbringit to thecourtin anotherdistrict,keepingit alive. Whenit waslearnedthat Kelekeieioka’ula,Kaka’aianeo’swife,wasexpecting,the kinggrantedEleiotheprivilegeof namingthechild.Eleiostated hisdesire,thatif it wasa boy,heshouldbenamed.Kaulula’au(The-forest-grove).Whenthe childwasborn,it was indeedaboy,andhewasnamedKaululã’au.As thechild grew,his mysteriousmanner andmischievousnaturecreatedmanyproblemsfor his parents andthepeopleof Maui. Eventually,theyouthwasbanishedfromMauiand sentto Lana’i tofendfor himself.At that time in history,Lãna~iwasreportedly inhabited byhordesof akuaunderthe rule of Pahulu.Whileon L~na’i,Kaululã’auwasaccompaniedbyhis ownpersonalgod, Lono. Together,thetwotraveledaboutLãna’i,triclcingtheghosts,killing them,andsetting the landsfreefrom their dominion.2 In this versionof thetradition,Kaululã’au traveledaroundLãna’i.Wearetold that he hasalreadykilledmanyof Pahulu’sminions,andthatPahuluthen feignedfriendshipwith Kaululã’au,tellinghim thathewouldhelphim seekout theotherakizawho remainedon theisland.Pahulu’sreal objectivewasto roundup theremainingaku~to fight andkill KaululaLau.

2.1.6 Regarding the weke pahulu (Upeneoiclesarge)

A tradition wasspoken amongLana’iküpuna abouteating thisfish whichwasnamed after Pahulu. Whenliving alongtheshore,andfishingin theKalaeht-KaiolohiavicInity, thepeopleof oldwouldnot talk abouttheir fishing,or takefood with themonfishing trips. Forif theytookfoodwith themor spokeaboutit, the spirits wouldknowanddrive the fish away.Also,wheneatingthe wekepcthuluwhichhadbeencaughton thefishing trip, thebones andheadof the fishwouldbesetlxiapile,andwhenfinishedeating, the remainswouldbecastawaywith theutteranceof thefollowingexpression,“EPahulu,eia kanwahi!”(SayPahulu,hereis yourportion!),thethoughtbeingthatnonewhopartookof thefish wouldsufferfrom nightmaresof Pahulu.

In ancientHawai’i,all facetsof the environmentwerebelievedto bephysicalmanifesta tionsof godsandgoddesseswhowerethecreativeforcesof nature. Variousoccupations wereinspiredby adeitywhoexcelledin the areasof artsandvalued skills.Someof the godstookhumanform andlivedamongthegeneralpopulation.Amongthese gods were Kfl’ulaandHina-puku-i’a,whowere thegodsof fisher-people.Theirson‘Ai’aifollowed themin thepracticesof catchingfish andaquaticresources.In onenativetradition,we learn howhonucameto Hawai’iandhowthecoastalregionof Polihuain theKa’ã-Paorna’i vicinityis connectedto the tradition.An accountpublishedin the1902Hawaiian Annual and Almanac revealsthis history:

Alalwentto Lanaiwherehestartedfishingfor aku(bonito)atCapeKaunolu, usinghis pearl[motherof pearllure] Kahuoi.Thisis thefirst caseknownof fishingfor aku.with pearlfrom the land,asit is awell-known factthat this fishis oniycaughtat deepsea,far from shore.In the storyof Kaneapuait is shownthathewastheonlyonethathadfishedfor akuattheCapeof Kaunolu, whereit wasstartedbyAlal. FromKaunoluAtai wentto Kaenacapewhere,at aplacecloseto Paomai, wasa 1:ittlesandy beachnow knownasPolihua.Herehe toolca stoneand carvedafigureonit, thencarriedandplacedit onthe sandybeach andcalled on hisparents. Whilemakinghisincantationsthe stonemovedtowardsthe seaand disappearedunder the water. His incantationsfinished,the stone reappearedand movedtoward him till it reachedthe placewhereit had beenlaid, whereuponit wastransformedinto a turtle andgavethe nameof Polihuato that beach.Thiswork of Alal on theislandof Lanaiwasthe first introductionof theturtle in the seasof Hawaii,andalsooriginatedthehabit of theturtleof goingup thebeachto laytheireggs,thenreturningto thesea.3

2.1.9 Pu’upehe:The HiH or Mound of Pehe

Oneof themostbeautifulnaturalscenesof Lanaiis a smallislet or towerof lavasituated off of thePäläwaicoastline.Thetraditionalnameof thelittle islandis Pu’upehe,though for someyearsit hasbeencalled“SweetheartRock.”Thebayandnorthernpoint also bearthe namePu’upehe,andthesuif that roundsthenorthernpointinto I-Iulopo’eBayis calledUoiokeahi.Thereis atradition of howthis placecameto becalledPu’upeheihat wasfirst recordedin 1.868by WalterM.Gibson,then ownerof largeportions of Lana’i, who reportedlylearnedthe accountfrom the chiefPi’ianai’a,who wason Läna’iwith KamehamehaI. Gibsonpublishedthe accountunderthetitle of “TheTombof Puupehe,A Legendof Lanai,”in the islandnewspaper theHawaiian Gazetteof March3, 1867(Vol.3 No. 7), andhisnarrativesfollow.Thoughlackingsomeof the detailsandproseof Gibson,elder kama’ãina of Lãna’icontinuedto tell thestoryof Pu’upehethroughtheearly1970s,when asked.

Oneof the interestinglocalitiesof tradition,famedin Hawaiiansongand storyof ancientdays,is situatedat the southwesternpoint of the islandof Lanai,andknownasthe Kupapauo Puupehe,or Tombof Puupehe.At the point indicated,onthe leewardcoastof theisland, may be seena hugeblock of red lava about eighty feethigh andsomesixtyfeet in diameter,standing out in the sea,and detachedfrom the mainlandsomefifty fathoms,around whichcentersthefollowinglegend.

In 1766,Kamehameha-nuidied andhis brother Kahekilibecamethe king of the Maui~ Moloka’i-L~ina’iislandgroup[30:82].In 1775,Kalani’Opu’ureturnedto Mauiin his efforts tousurptheruleof theisland’shereditarychief. Thistime,theHawai’iforceswererouted, and forcedto return to Hawai’i.In the periodbetween.ca.1776and 1779,Kalani’Opu’u returnedto Maui onseveraloccasionsto makewar,andit wasin thesebafflesonMaui that ayoungchiefof Hawai’i,Kamehameha,earnedhis fameas afiercefighter[30:85—89, 911.NativehistorianS.M.Kamakaudescribed theeventswhichtook the battle to Lãna’i:

Accordingto Fornander,areviewof genealogiesand traditionsindicatedthat Lãna’i, while “independentat times,”nonethelessshareda “political relation”with Mauiafew generationsafter the cleansingof Lãna’iby Kaulula’au. Thisrelationshipwasprobably fortified duringthereignsof Kiha-a-Pi’ilaniandhis sonKamalãlãwalu[14:94,207].The researchof Kamakauand Pomandermakesseveralpassingreferencesto thefact thatin ca.1500,Ktha-a-Pi’ilani8wasfor atimeforcedto hideonLana’i,until thepathwasopen for his takingthe thronefrom acruelelderbrother,Lono-a-Piilani.Kiha-a-Pi’ilani’sreign wasoneof progressand peace,though nothingmoreis mentionedof Lãna’i [30:22,14:87, 2061. FollowingKiha-a-Pi’ilani’sdeath,Kamaialawalubecamethe king of Maui,attempted to invadethe islandof Hawaii, andwaskilled. 1-usson Kauhi-a-Kamatook the throne, and was subsequentlysucceededby his son, Kauhi. It is during the later yearsof Kamaläiáwalu’sreignthat wefind referenceto a chief ofLäna’,i.Pomander[12]published anaccountcompiledfrom nativeinformantswhosenarrativesreferenceaking named Küali’i who wassaidto haveunified the Hawaiianislandsseveralgenerationsbefore KameharnehaI. KUali’iwasimbuedwith godlikecharacteristics,and reportedilylived betweenCa. AD 1555and 1730. He wasa sac:redchief,fearedby all, and famedfor his strength.In ca.1600,Hãloaienawasthe king of Läna’i,thoughheruled underthe authorityof KamalãlawaiuandKauhi-a-kama.Fomnander[12]reportedthat

Haloalena,the chief of Lanaiwasconsidereda very goodruler. His great favoritepastimewasthecollectionof the skeletonsof birds.Whenthechief’s bird tax wasaboutdueit wasthe usual custom of the agentsto goout and proclaimthe chief’swishes.[12:IV-422J

Haloalenahad the skeietons of the birds cleaned,prepared, and posed for safekeep ing in one of severallarge storehouseson Lãna’iashis personal treasures. Kauhi,a mischievousson of Kauhi-a-Kama,destroyed allthe skeletonsand

Thiswasthecauseof thehostilitiesbetweenthekingof Lanaiand theking of Maui, andthereasonwhytheking of Lanaiwanted tobeindependentandnot beanylonger underthe ldng of Maui.At this time the chiefsof Lanai were underthecontrolof Kamalalawalu,king of Maui.[12:1V-424]

Ktlali’i was drawn into the dispute, and settled it without bloodshed, though Hãloalena and Lãna’iremainedundertheMaui kingdom [12:1V-426]. It is not until the 1760s--l.770sthat we find referencesto Lãna’i,its people,and chiefs, havingbeendrawn into the path of war betweenthe kingsof Hawai’iandMaui. This periodof Lana’i’shistoryhasadirect impactonthelandsof theKa’aregion,and several prominentnativeandforeignhistoriansdescribedthis time in Lãna’i’shistory.

Whileit is likely that Lana1iwas alwayswater challenged,the effectsof morethan 180yearsof ungulatedepredationandlossof forest havecreatedamodern settingthat is muchmorearidthanit oncewas.Today,the south shoreregionreceiveslittle morethan 10in.sof rain annually[cf. 39]. Thesoutherncoastallandsof Lanaiareajumble ofrock-strewnslopes,roughgulches, a cliff-linedshore, anddry, flat lands.

In 1921—1922,Kenneth Emorycameto Läna9.on anarchaeologicalandethnographic expeditionsponsoredby the Bishop Museum.Emory spent sixmonths on theisland, traversingthe landscapeby foot, car,andhorseback.Hespokewith elder kama’ãina, mappedsites,andcollectedand catalogedartifacts.

2.2.1 Hulopo’e-Kapiha’ã Fishermen’sTrail

Therearenumerouslocationsaroundthe coastof Läna’i whereHawaiiansof old once resided.Someof the locationswereusedseasonally,with visitationrecurringoverthe generations. Otherlocationsservedas permanentvifiagesites,with the formalized structuresandoutlyingfacilitiesavailableto supportapermanentpopulation.Several important villagesoccurredalongthe southernand southwesterncoastlineof Lan&i, which is markedby seacliffs rangingin height from a few feet to over 1,000feet in height. Mostnotably,theseincludedvillagesat MäneleandKaupakuea,the areaof the present-daysmallboatharbor;thevillageof Hu1opo~e,whichis frontedby thebeautiful whitesandbeachof thesamename;andthesmallervillages perchedalongthelow cliffs at Kaptha’a,Kalualco’i,LaePa’akai,Küahulua,Mãmalci,and Kapalaoa,with the major

30 villageandreligiouscenterat KeãliakapuandKaunolu.All of thesevillagesiteswere connected bya seriesof trails,somerunningbetween thecoastanduplandsettlements andagriculturalareas,andothersrunr~inglateralto the shore. Nativetraditionsandhistoricalaccountsdescribelife in thesevillagesasbeingfocused on the rich offshorefisheries. Theocean—poeticallyreferredto as the ipu kal (meat dish)—providcdtheinhabitantswith therichproteins(fish),seaweeds,andsaltnecessary to thewell-beingof the people.Bytravelingto theuplands,theresidentsgainedaccessto fertile landswhichweredevelopedinto extensiveplantingfields,andthereweresmall valleysin whichwaterholesandspringswerefound. While therewereonlylimited freshwatersuppliesalongthe coastalregion,the tradi tional residentsknewhow to getpotablewaterfrom the sea,and they also caught and collected waterfrom periodicrainfallanddewdrip. In the 1970s,KumuPonoAssociates beganto recordstoriesof elder kiipuna of Lãna’i. Among them wasHattie Holohua KaenaokalaniKaopuild,a.k.a.TUt~.Mama,whosefamilyhadresidedin PãlãwaiAliupua~a for generations.FromTütQMamaandherhusband,ReverendDanielKaopuilci,Sr.(TQtfl Papa),welearnedthat in ancienttimes, theresidentsof this coastalregionlearnedto dive into the nearshorewatersto fetchpuredrinkingwater.

Thereareareasaroundtheislandwherefreshwaterescapesfrom thewater table,throughcracksin the rocks. When swinuningin the ocean,you can feel a changein the watertemperature,andit is in theseplaceswhere the waterbecomescold, that the fresh wateris enteringthe sea. Theküpuna learnedof theselocations,andwoulddiveinto the water,carryinganempty ipu (gourdcontainer).Oncetheywereat theholefromwhichthefreshwater wasescaping,theywouldtilt theipu,to allowit tofill up with thefreshwater, andthenreturn to the surface.Thiswaytheyhad accessto drinking water yearround, whetheror not therewereregularrains.Oneof thebestknownof theselocationsis situatedatMãnele,wheretherockycoastlineis situated,and just beyondtheareaof thepresent-day boat harbor.Thepeopleof oldwould frequentlydivetherewith their gourdsto capturefreshwaterfor drinking.

In 1857—1858,theMormonleaderswerecalledback toUtah,andtheroadworicended. In 1862,WalterMurrayGibsonreestablisheda settlementon Läna’iandpetitionedto the king for assistancewith developmentof the roadandboatlandingatMänele,G:ibson’s petitionincludedthefollowingexcerpts:

Thereisnoroadoverwhichto carryour producebywheeledconveyance;there is nothingbut adangerousbridle path throughawidebelt of lavaboulders, boundin thecoast.

By 1869,JohnL, Gibson,son of W.M. Gibson,wasappointedroad supervisorand offeredthefollowingcomments onlaborneedsof theMãneleRoad:

In late 1869,JohnGibsonreceivedpermissionto conimenceworkontheroadbetween PiiläwaiBasinandtheM~neieLanding. Gibsonwrote

AsI amaboutto commenceto maketheRoadsontheIslandof Lanai and the ManeleRoad isveryhadandasit is theRoadthatis mostusedandwantedas all thePeopleonthatpart of theIslandhaveto travelandtake their produce overit to getit to market,andasthereis not laborenoughto put it in repair.

ByMay28,1870,it wasreportedthat Muchwork hasbeendoneon the ManeleGovernmentroad, and is now a tolerablegoodwagonroadfrom the beachup to therim of the PalawaiValley; but not yet finished~27 An inspectionof the roadin 1871resultedin thefollowingstatements: I havevisitedLanaiaridexaminedtheroadwhichleadsfrom Gibson’s place to thelanding at Manele,the roadis in my estimationaverypassableone,a gooddealof hardlabormusthavebeenexpendedto makeit so,especiallyin removinglargemassesof stones;acartmaynowbedrivenfrom any part of theuplandto thelanding atManelewhich wouldhavebeenalmostimpassible beforethemakingof this road.28

It appearsthat after1880,little or noworkon theroadwasdoneagainuntil 1915-1920, whenCharlesGayandfamilybeganeffortsin deliveryof cropsandlivestockto theMãnele Landingfor shippingoff island. In 1921-1922,Bishop MuseumarchaeologistKenneth Emoryspentatotal of aboutsevenmonthson Lãna’idocumentingfacetsof the island’s nativehistoryandculturallandscape.AmongEmory’sjournallettersis anaccountof a trip on theM~neleRoad:

Followingthe Doleacquisitionof Läña~iin 1922,developmentof majorroadaccesses occurred.In 1923,it wasreported thatsevenmilesof roadbetweenKaumãiapa’uand Läna’iCity had been pavedwith asphalt. Mostof theroadwaysweredirt or gravelfilled, andby 1938,theplantationandCountyof Mauiwereengagedin programsof pavingand dedicatingroadsonLäna’i.30 Bythe 1940s,theManeleLandinghadbecomeapopularplacewith plantationfamilies. TheHawaiianPineappleCompanyhadbuilt several beachhouseswhichfamiliescould usefor gatherings,and the old breakwater,built by the 1870s,still providedenough protectionin thelittle bayto allowfor smallfishingboatstorage.A 1954photofrom the collectionof William G.MunrodepictsMãnelelandingwith thedirt roadrunningupsiope towardsthe Pãläwai Basin(fig. 13).Theroadwaspavedby ca.1960,andover theyears sectionsof it wererealignedto minimize wherepossiblethenumberof bendsand curves.

Thefollowingeditorial,written on November2, 1871,expandsand speculatesonthe circumstancesof Palau’smurder.

Mr.Editor:—Thisquiet islandhasbeenlatelythesceneof alittle excitement, and is trying to haveits sharein the carnivalof disasterand crime now pervading theworld.In March, 1870,anative,I.

A boat arrivedat Lahainafrom Lanai,bringing informationof severaldeathsatAwalua,Lanai.A constablefrom Lanaiand two witnessescameby the boat, on hearingwhosestatementsCaptainof PoliceHoserodeto Olowalu,and thence?telephonedanaccountof theaffair to Wailuku. SheriffT.W.Everettinstructed DeputySheriffMakaiuaof LahainaaridCapt.

Capt.Hoseafterlodginghis prisonersin jail rode toWailukuandreported his actionto SheriffEverett, TheSheriff directedthatMr.Chillingworthshould go to Lahaina andattendto the case,andin pursuanceof his instructions theWailukuDeputyarrivedatLahainaearlyFridaymorningthe 19thinst. He found that the prisoners(with the exceptionof Paaand hiswife Awill) had beenarraignedThursdaymorningandchargedwith murder,andtheir cases postponed,awaitingthereturn of Hosefrom Wailulcu,until Fridaymorning. OnMr. Chillingworth’sarrival the prisonerswere againremandeduntil Saturdaymorning.In the meantimethe Deputy-Sheriff workedup the case, andthat daypresentedchargesasfollows: Puulolo(w.),for themurderof Pirni(w.)onFriday,February12,1892.

Paa(k.) andAwili his wife arein the jail at Lahaina.Paawasthe first one abused,havingbeenterribly burnedabout the faceandupper portion of thebody,with atorchin thehandsof Puulolo,Paabeingheldby the others duringtheburning.Heis underthe treatmentof Dr.Davisonand,although hisinjuriesareshocking,hewill probablyrecover.It is quiteevident,in the opinionof Deputy-SheriffChillingworth, thatPaacouldnot havehadanything to do with the subsequentterrible occurrences.His wife wouldtestify as

64 to whatwasdoneafter his torturing. Mr. Chillingworthgivesthe following connectednarrativeof the case,asgatheredfrom hisinvestigations: “All of the defendants nowin jail and the murderedpersonsresidedat Awalua,a smalllandingplaceon Lanai,therebeingat that placeonly four houses—two storehousesbelongingto Mr.Hayseldenandtwo otherhouses occupiedby thepartiesto thetragedy. “Puulolowent toHonoluluandreturnedfrom thereabouttwomonthsago, andonherreturnclaimed tobepossessedof supernaturalpower, especiallyin thecuringof diseases,whichsheclaimedwerealltheresultsof evilspirits that enteredio:tothebodiesof peopleanddestroyedthem.After herarrivalback from Honolulu,Puuloio hadopportunity to showher skill by the treatment of twoyoungpeople(oneof whomwastheboyKaiawhomshesincebeatto death).Thesepatientssheappearedto cureby necromancy,andher power wasat onceacknowledgedbytherestof thevillagers(whoby thewaywereall relatedto eachothereither bybloodties or marriage). “Probablyemboldenedby hersuccessandpower Puulolowentfrom one extravaganceto another.

This would indicatethat there is a considerableand regularrainfall on theselands, and, as 30 to 50 inchesannuallyis fully sufficientfor many crops,I believethat I makeno mistake:i.nclassingabout7500acresof our landin neighborhoodof ‘Koele”as“Agricultural,”leavingabout39000acres “Pastoral,”and1000acres“Forestand Water reserve.” Mr.Irwins land(withoutwater)is and alwayswill beclassedasPastoralland unlesshandledwith the Governmentlands.

94 2.4 Historical Events and Transitions in Population

Research hasrevealedanumberof historicaldocumentsthat describechangeson Läna’i from ca.1820to the 1890s.With the exceptionof the periodsfrom 1854to 1864and 1899to 1901,therewere noincreasesin the populationon Lana’i. Thetwo periodsof increaseweretied to foreignendeavors,thefirst beingtheeffortsof theMormonChurch to establisha stationon Lana’iin 1854-1864;this experimentincreasedthe Hawaiian populationby some300 souls, andwasquicklyfollowedby a declinewhentheprogram failed.Thesecondperiodof “growth,”in 1899-1901, occurred whentheMaunalciSugar Companybroughtin some600non-Hawaiianlaborers tooperateasugarplantation.The islandpopulationrapidly dropped tolittle morethan 120residents whentheplantation failed; thosewho remainedweremostly membersof Lãna’i’slong-established native families. A commonthemethroughmost of the historical eventson Läna’iis the declineof the nativepopulationthroughoutthe nineteenthcenturyandearly twentieth.century. Theraids of Kalani’Opu’u,whichravagedthe populationandlaid wasteto important agriculturalfield systems,werethestart of the decline.Buttheintroduction of foreign diseases,startthgwith CaptainCook’sarrivalin 1778andfollowedby successiveforeign vessels,furtheredthe overalldeclinein thenativepopulationof theHawaiian Islandsat large.It is estimatedthatin 1804to 1805,asmanyas150,000Hawallansdiedasaresult of the nia’i ‘öku’u,believedto havebeenAsiaticcholera,and the declinecontinued,with eachsubsequentdecadewitnessingthe deathsof tensof thousandsof Hawaiiansat a time. Alsoaddingto thedeclineof thenativepopulationwasthegrowingimpactofintroduced herbivores droppedoffby foreignvesselsto buildmeatstocksfor shipswinteringin the islands.TheEuropean boar,goats,sheep,cattle,andScandinavianratsimmediatelybegan to alterthelandscape.OnLãna’i,this hadarapid anddevastatingimpacton theisland’s ability to drawmoisturefrom the tradewind-borneclouds, anddevelopgroundwater resources.In addition totheintroductionof herbivores,westerndemandfor staple crops suchaspotatoes,alongwith the demandfor ‘ilicthi asa tradeitem and firewoodfor processingwhaleblubber, ledto theclearingof vasttractsof land.JustastheHawailans had noimmunitiesor natural protectionfrom introduceddiseases,the native plants, animals,and ecosystemswere also unprepared for the impacts of human clearing of thelandscape,andforaginganimalsthat browsedeverything visibleandtrampledroot systemsinto the ground. The earliestpopulationestimatefor Lãna’iin ca.1793was6,000[5]. By 1823,the populationon Lãna~iwasestimatedto bebetween2,000and3,000people,andby the early 1890s the population was around 200. WilliamEllis,anEnglish missionarywho worked with the early Protestant missionariesin the HawaiianIslands,described Lãna’i, the natureof its resources, andtheestimatedpopulationin theearly1820s.

95 centreof the islandis muchmoreelevatedthanTahaurawe,it is neitherso highnor brokenasanyof theotherislands:agreatpart of it is barren,and theislandin generalsuffersmuchfrom thelongdroughtswhichfrequently prevail;the ravinesand glens,not-withstanding,arefilled with thicketsof small trees,and to thesemany of the inhabitantsof Maui repair for the purposeof cuttingpostsandraftersfor their smallhouses. Theislandis volcanic;the soilshallow,andbynomeansferifie;the shores, however, aboundwith shell-fish,andsomespeciesof medusaeandcuttle-fish. Theinhabitantsarebut few,p:robabi.ynot exceedingtwo thousand.Native teachersareendeavouring toinstructthemin usefulknowledgeandreligious truth, but no foreignmissionaryhasyetlabourecionthis or theneighboring island.of Morokai,whichis separatedfrom the northernsideof Ranai,and the easternendof Maui,by a channel,which,thoughnarrow,is sufficiently widefo:rthepurposesof navigation.[8:6-71

A Protestantmissionstationwasestablishedin Lähainain 1823,andwasresponsible for WestMaui,Lãna’i,Moloka’:Land Kaho’olawe.Missionstationleadersweretaskedwith overseeing thespiritual,educational,andhealthneedsof islandres:idents.in addition to theProtestant missionaries, Lãna’iexperiencedaperiodof developmentas aMormon mission stationfrom late 1853to early1864.Asnotedabove,the “experiment”brought anincreasein Lana’i’sHawaiianpopulation,with Hawaiiansfrom otherislandsmoving to Lãna’i, andalsofosteredsomesignificantchangesonthe island,notablyin the area of landtenure.Thework of thevarious missionariesandtheir associatesresultedin the creationof animportant recordof history on theisland.Excerptsof reports, personal journals,andarticlespublishedin Hawaiian andmissionarypapers—documentingLãna~i populationstatistics,landuse,health,anddevelopmentof churches andschools—provide importantrecordsfrom Lãna’i.

Theislandsof RanaiandMorokalhave,till within afewweeks,beenentirely without teachers.Tothe former[Lanai],I lastweeksentaman,who is toact assuperintendentof four schools,whichareto embraceall the peopleof the island.Thereareafewpeoplethere,whohavefrequently visitedLahaina,and whenhere, havealways beenin our schools.Fromamongthis number,the superintendentis to selectfour assistants;andthusI hopeall thepeoplewill haveit in their powerto learn toread andwrite, and to acquire,by means of our books,manyof the first principlesof Christianity.Of thenumberof pupils whichwill beembracedin theseschools,I canform no estimate,asI haveyetreceivedno report,andtheislandhasneverbeenexploredby anyof ournumber... Thecommunicationsbetweenthe two last mentionedislandsandLahaina, arefrequent,andevenconstant.Thereis scarcelyaday,but canoes passand repass.Almostthe only communicationis by canoes,thoughsmallvessels occasionallyvisit Morokal.Theinhabitantsof thoseislandshaveverylittle communicationwith anyother place exceptLahaina.If thereforethey are illuminatedat all, they must derivetheir llght from this station.

2.4.1 A Visit to Lãna’i in July 1828

Theearliesteyewitnessdescriptionof travelonLãna’iwaspennedin 1828,whenWffliam Richards,in thecompanyofKameharnehaI’ssacreddaughter,PrincessNalii’ena’ena,made avisit to theisland.Thejournal noteswereforwardedto the secretaryof theAmerican Boardof Commissionersof Foreign Missions(A.B.C.F.M.)77throughacommunicationon December25,1834,andthe excerptsfrom thejournalcitedbelowclescrtheconditionson Lãna’iat thetime.

As it is especiallydesirablethat you havecorrectinformation respecting all our fields of labor,I preparein this letter to giveyou someaccountof Lanai,thelittle islandwhichliesdirectlyoppositeLahaina&aboutsevenmiles, distant.Youwill perceivebytheaccompanyingmap[mapnot in files with this letter],that its greatestlengthis about17~6miles andits greatestbreadthis about12miles.Thelandrisesfrom theshoreto theinterior,andterminates in lofty points.The sidesof themountainsarecutup by innumerableravines or alternateridgesandhollows.Butthesevalleysarenot like the valleyson thewindwardsideof theotherislands,furnishedwith openings&rivulets. Thereis but onepermanentbrook on theisland,andthat is sosmallthat it is all lost hi a few smalltab [kalo - taro] ponds,and their fare doesnot reachthe shoreexceptin the wetseasonsof the year.Thereis not awell of goodwaterontheisland,exceptsuchasarepreparedafterthemannerof the Hebrews.Thesewells,thoughfewonLanai,arecommonatmanypartsof the SandwichIslands.Theyare eithernaturalor artificialpits, sometimesonlya fewfeetin diameter,andat othertimesmanyyards. Theyare sopreparedas thatwhenit rainsthewaterfor adistancemayflowinto them.Therearesteps to godowninto them,but theyarenot oftenverydeep.In placeswherethey are exposed[page1 - Reel797:762]to directlight & from thewind, theyare uniformly coveredandevenwheretheyarenot thus exposedtheyareoften covered,to preventthewaterfrom dryingup assoonasit wouldotherwise.

I knownot a singlewell on the SandwichIslands,suppliedwith waterfrom thebottom, exceptsuchas arcon theseashore onalevelwith thesea. Owing tothe scarcityof wateronLanai,theinlandis barren almost beyond conception.I haverecentlybeenquite round the island,andvisited every principalvillage ontheislandexceptone,andduringmywholetour,I sawbu:t onegoodwell of water;andno springor brook,andI sawnothinggrowing whichwassuitablefor food,eitherfor manorbeast,andnothinggrowsexcept seaweedsand seagrass.I shouldexcepta few cocoanuttreesandtwo or three[page2 - Reel797:763]or four have trees. Mostof thepeoplelive neartheshorefor thepurpose oftakingfishin which theshoresof Lanaiabound,andaconsiderableportionof theirvegetablefood they receivefrom Lahaina,in barter for fish. Thereis howeveroneinland plantationof someextent,whichfurnishesconsiderable food.It is wateredby themist or light rain which fallsduringthenight,in sufficientquantitiesfor thegrowthof potatoesandin wetseasons someupland- tarois raised. There arefewpeoplethat resideat that placeconstantly,but considerablenumber whoresidegenerallyonthe shore,goup & spendamonthor twoat atimeso asto keeptheirlandundercultivation,andthenreturn againto the seaside wheretheycanhaveabundanceof fish,andwatertoo,suchasit is for thereis aplentyof that whichis brackish. Thenumbersof inhabitantson the island,hasbeenestimatedatabout1600; but atthepresenttimeI think therearenot somanythoughtherehasbeenno regularcensusof theislandtaken& it is impossibleto makesuchanestimate ascanbereliedupon. Theislandis alwaysunderthe samegovernanceastheislandof Maui,but thedirectcareof it hasfor yearsbeengivento Kapeleauinoku,anelderlyman, whois amemberof our church,andamanof establishedreputation... In aletter of minewritten Oct.15th,1828[page3 - Reel797:764]I alluded to a tour aroundthe island of Lanai,madeby myselfin companywith the Princess,andpromisedafull accountof it. Thefollowingis from myjournal kept at that time,but whichwasneversent. [At thispoint Richardsinsertslengthynarrativesfrom his personaljournal of 1828,andhisvisit to Lãna’iwith ChiefessNahi’en&ena andthenearlossof Kapeleaumokuwhiletravelingfrom Lãhainato Lãna’i.] July 24, 1828- Thursday.

Thechiefstoo areafter callingthe peopleto the placeswheretheyreside to doworkfor them.In thewinter& springof 1832,all theablebodiedmen of Maui,Molokal& Lanaiwerecalledto Lahaina, andmost of them spent several weeksthere.It is probablethat scarcelyayearpassesin whichmost of the peoplearenot thus calledto theresidenceof thechiefs.[page17- Reel 797:778178

Thefollowingareex~actsfrom theLahainaReportdatedOctober15,1828.It mentions the peopleof Lanaiassemblingfor prayerandinstruction, aswell aspopulationand schoolenrollmentstatistics.

Youarealreadyawarethat this placeis the centreof missionaryoperations for Maui,Molokal,Lanai,andKahoolawe.Lahainais the only placewhere there is regularpreaching.It is,however,by nomeansthe onlyplacewhere peopleassemblefor religiousworship on the Sabbath.Therearenot less than twenty placeson this island,andseveralon MolokaiandLanai,where peopleassemblefor prayerandinstruction. Thenativeteacherstake the directionof the meetings,occupyingthe time in readingand teachingthe variousScripture tractsandotherbooks,andconcludewith prayer.Bythis coursethepeopleareinspiredwith areverencefor the Sabbath;andthough the teachersare themselvesextremelyignorant,yet they are able,in this maimer,to communicatesomeinstruction,andthe peoplearetherebykept from assemblingfor viciouspurposes, and worsethanidle conversation.

Examination of the Schools

During the summer and earlypart of thefall of 1828,subsequently tothe arrival of the late reinforcements,owingto anincreaseof their numbers, the missionariesat Lahainawereenabledto maketours overMauiandthe smallisland adjacent,for the purposeof preachingthe Gospel,examining the schools,and givingthepeoplesuchcounselandencouragementastheir circumstancesrequired... A greatproportionof thepupilsarepersonsof middle age,andstill they havelearntto read theScriptures.Accordingto the estimatewemade,only onefifth of thescholarsareunderfourteenyearsof ages.

Thepeopleof everydistrict whichwevisitedwereaddressedparticularly on this subject,both by ourselvesand theprincess[NahienaenaJ.Wehave receivedthefullest evidencethat our exertionshavenot beenin vain.Since ourreturn from thetour of theisland,about5,000spellingbookshavebeen calledfor, principally to establishschools amongchildren. This increases thewholenumber enrolledin the schoolsto about18,000;viz. 15,500to this island [MauiJ;1,000to Moiokai;arid.700 to Ranai,It is not probablethat, with the presentpopulation,solargeanumberasthis caneverappearat an examination.But18,000,wethink lessthanthefull numberof thosewhoare nowenrolledin the schoolsunderthe directionof this station.. Thepopulationof Mauihasbeenheretoforeestimatedat 20,000,that of Molokaiat 3,000or 4,000,andthat of Ranaiat 2,000or 3,000,makingthe wholepopulationonthesethreeislandsnot morethan27,000.Thepresent estimate representsthepopulationasprobablyamountingto 37,000.Upon comparingwith this thenumberof learnersin the schools ontheseislands, asjust given,it will be seenthat almosthalf thewholepopulation,of both sexes,andall ages,arein theschools;alargerportionof thepeople,probably, thanareenjoyingthe advantagesof instructionin anyothercountryon the globe.79

2.4.2 Alanui Aupuni: Government Trails and Roadways

In the ancientland system,trails crossedthe landscape,both nuwkato makaiand laterallyalongthe shore,andatvariouselevations.As aresult of westernContact,and the developmentof wagonandhorsetrails, amoreformalizedsystemof roadwayswas needed.By1847,KingKamehamehaIII promulgatedalawestablishingtheAlanuiAupuni kingdom/governmentroad system.Majortrails whichprovidedaccessaroundislands andbetweenprimaryplacesof habitation andbusinesswereintegratedinto theAlanui Aupuni systemandmaintainedthroughfunding from thegovernmentandpublicwork daysby tenantsof thelandsthrough whichtheroadsand trailspassed. Beginningin themid-18SOs,nativeand foreignresidentsof Läna’ibeganwritten doc~ umentationof governmentand communitypublic serviceeffortsin developinga road system that would facilitatenot only foot traffic,but alsocart/wagontraffic to major locationsin theuplandsand alongthe shoreof theisland.SeveralAlanui Aupuniroutes wereidentifiedon Läna’i.Theseincludedfivemajorpointsof access,and onefor which little informationhasbeenfound:

I wasassuredby your predecessorin office,His Ex. W.L.Moehonua,that a certainproportion oftheroadmoniesappropriatedfor Maui,Molokai,and Lanai,wouldbe Setapartfor Lanai,and accordingto the recommendation of Mr.Meyersroadsuperintendentfor Molokai,andLanai.I understoodthe amountfor Lanaitohe $600.Thiscouldnot bedrawnatthetime,but I was assured,both by your predecessor,and the late Minister of Financethat I mightcommencecertainneededimprovementsonaroadleadingfromAwalua to ManeleonLanai,with full assurancethat in return of Mr.Meyersfrom the coast in Decemberasexpected,the proportion of publicmoney designated for Lanairoadswouldbepaid to me.Will yourExcellency,kindly inform me, what actionI mayexpectof yourDepartmentin thismatter.84

An articlefrom theI-IawaiiariGazetteentitled“LegislativeAppropriationfor Roadson Lanai,”andpublishedonAugust4, 1880,indicatedthat $2,000wasappropriatedfor Lãna’i.85 Anotherletter regardingthe roadswaswritten by HenryH.Gibson toFLA. P.Carter, Minister oftheInterior,onSeptember12,1881.

DearSir: I begto submit herewithastatementin relationto roadsonLanai. A highwayleadingfrom thelandingof Manelein theS.E.endof theisland, and terminatingat the landingof Awaluaon the N.W.endof the island,a distanceof aboutfifteenmiles,is known asagovernment road(alanutaupuni). Foradistanceof abouta quarterof amileleadingfrom Manele,and for about the samedistanceleadingfrom Awalua, theroadis impassablefor avehicle on account of massesof volcanicrock or aa.It wouldrequireanamountof laborandblastingat thesetwo endsof theroadthat wouldcostabout$400 each,or atotal of $800. Another governmentroad, “ala nui aupuni,” leadsfrom the landing of Maunakiin theN.sideof the island,into anuppervalley,whereajunction is formedwith the Maneleand Awaluaroad.Partof theMaunaleiroadis an ancientpavedalanul throughthe aa.This ismuchbrokenup andnotpassable for a vehicle. A horse canbarelypick his way alongsucharoad.Laborand blasting material to the amount of about $300 would berequiredto put the road in good travellingorder. In the interior of the island where the soil is easilyworked,andthere arenot obstructingrocks,roadworkis easy,yetthe roadreadilywashesinto gulches,andthereareplaceswherestoneand other material should be hauled to makepermanentrepairs.

2.4.3 Ranching Operations on Lãna’i (1854-1951)

Goats,sheep,cattle,theEuropeanboar, aridhorseswereintroducedto theislandsbetween 1778and1810.Duringthoseearlyyears,ICamehamehaland his chiefsplacedkapu over thenewlyintroducedanimalsto ensurethat theirpopulationswouldgrow.In the fifty- yearperiodfrom 1780to the 1830s,populationsof thesenon-nativeanimals—likethe hipa (sheep)andpua’a bipior pipi (wildsteero.rcattle), andkao (goats)—grewto become a great nuisanceto theHawaiianpopulation,andhaddevastatingeffectsontheHawaiian environment. Recordsindicatethat the first of theseintroducedungulateswasbrought to Läna’i aroundthe 1830s,whereafew nativetenants,living underlandedchiefs,managed the populations.In 1848,anewsystemof land managementwasinstituted intheHawaiian Kingdom,andindividualsof meansweregrantedlargetracts of land.Whenfee-simple title to landwasgrantedto nativeHawaliansandforeignresidentswhohadswornoaths of allegianceto theking,formaleffortsatcontrollingthe hipa,pipi, kao,andothergrazers wereinitiated. RanchingwasapartofLãna’i’shistoryfor closeto 100years,in theperiodfromca.1854 until closureof the ranchin 1951.Initially, Mormoneldersbroughtlivestockto Läna’i asapart of their effortto establishamissionin theuplandsat Palãwai.In 1862,Walter MurrayGibsontook overthe Mormonsettlement,andfocusedthe livestock effortson herdsof sheepandgoats,ofwhichnearly100,000roamedthe island,almostuncontrolled bythe 1890s.As aresult,Lanaisufferedfrom rapiddeforestationandadryingup of the island’swaterresources.Thisimpactedeveryotheraspectoflife onLanai andwasone of the contributingfactors tothecontinualdeclineiii thenativepopulationof theisland. From 1910to 1951,Laria’iranch operationsfocusedon cattle anda steady decline in the populationof other livestock.Thesteadytransition to cattlegrazingled to the eradicationof tensof thousandsof goats,sheep,andpigs—manydrivenoverthe cliffs of Ka’apahuin Ka’a—inaneffortto reduceimpactsonthesteadilydecreasing pasturage. In 1914,theMaui Newsreportedon avisit by rancher-investorJ.T.McCrossonto Lanai. McCrossonmakesspecific referenceto the leeward pasturesontheisland,extendingfrom the 150ft. to 1,000ft. elevation,indudingtheareaof theproposedHelistopPadsproject.

Bythetimeof theMãhele ~Ainain thelate 1840s,it wasrecognizedthat goatsandsheep wereimpactingthelandsandpracticesof nativetenants,andthat therewas somemoney to be madefrom the animals.Severalnative tenantsof Lãna’i citedgoatsin the kule ariaclaims.In the 1850s,Mormon elders who settled in PãlãwaiBasin beganimporting additionallivestock,andinformal,free-rangeranchingwasunderway.In the early1870s KingKamehamehaIVandWalterMurrayGibsonformalizedtheranching venture focusing on sheepand goats,92with smallerherdsof cattle,horses,pigs,andfowl. Theking’s operationfocusedon sheep,andAwalualandingonthe coastof Paoma’iservedasthe port for imports andexports. By1875,Gibson’sranchingoperationcenteredaroundKO’ele,with the “homepastures takingin upper KamokuandPaoma’i.”Gibson’sheirs-continued theranchingoperation, andalsoventuredinto severalother fieldsof agriculture,includingtheraisingof vegeta blesin theKO’eleuplandsfor Honolulumarkets,anddevelopmentof a sugarplantation in the Maunalei-Kahalapalaoaregionof windwardLäna’i.

This surveyidentified 33 historicpropertiescomprising183featuresrnakai andeastof theproposedhelistoppad locationneartheMãneleBayResort.Archaeologicaldatarecoveryexcavationsatfour sites at :LeinohaunuiPointrevealeda traditionalHawaiiancultural deposit[31]. Traditional Hawaiianculturaldepositsappeartobeabsentwithinthesand beachof Hulopo’eBay,but traditionalHawaiianandhistoric-eradepositswere excavateda atsite atthe southeast endof thebay[321.Datarecoveryexcavationsatacanoeshedcomplexnearthenorthwest end of Hulopo’eBayyieldedevidencefor two phasesof constructionprecededby an occupationdepositthat wasn’tassociatedwith structuralremains[2].Theearlyphaseof constructionwasdatedto the lateeighteenth or earlynineteenthcenturyand thelater phase,whichincludesthe structures visibleon thesurfacetoday,wasdatedto thelate nineteenthor earlytwentiethcentury. Hammattet al.

Source: SSFM Interaafional, Inc. Project Considerations • In July 2014, the State Department of Transportation, Airports Division issued a determination that no State permit is required for the project • In March 2015, the U~S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration approved the KO’ele Helistop Site and Mãnele Helistop Site • Conditions of the FAA approval include:

— The minimum flight restriction is 1,500 feet around Lãna’i City and Mãnele, and is 500 feet elsewhere on Lãna’i

— All operations conducted in~ Visual Flight Rule weather conditions

— The landing area is limited to private use

— All approach/departure operations are conducted from 040 degrees/ 220 degrees ± 10 degrees

— Prior to use, a representative of FAA evaluate helistop for compliance 14 Project Considerations (Continued) HAWAI’I REVISED STATUTES (HRS), CHAPTER 343

The installation of new helicopter facilities is considered a “trigger” within Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), Chapter 343.

HRS Section 343-2 provides as follows: “Helicopter facilities” means any area of land or water which is used, or intended for use for the landing or takeoff of helicopters; and any appurtenant areas which are used, or intended for use for helicopter related activities or rights-of-way.

15 Project Considerations (Continued) HRS Section 343-5 provides exceptions from the requirement for compliance with HRS, Chapter 343 Environmental Assessment (EA) for helicopter facilities as long as none of paragraphs 8(A), 8(B), or 8(C) are applicable:

(a) Except as otherwise provided, an environmental assessment shall be required for actions that:

(8) Propose the construction of new or the expansion or modification of existing helicopter facilities within the State, that by way of their activities, may affect:

(A) Any land classified as a conservation district by the state land use commission under chapter 205; (B) A shoreline area as defined in section 205A-41; or (C) Any historic site as designated in the National Register or Hawaii Register, as provided for in the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Public Law 89-665, or chapter 6E; or until the statewide historic places inventory is completed, any historic site that is found by a field reconnaissance of the area affected by the helicopter facility and is under consideration for placement on the National Register or the Hawaii Register of Historic Places; 16 Potential Impacts Surrounding Land Uses

• Mãnele Helistop is located one (1) mile from the Mãnele Resort, 0.5 mile from residential areas to the east, and bordered by vast vacant land to the north, south, and west.

• KO’ele Helistop is located 0.5 mile northwest of Lãna’i City, 0.25 mile from the Kö’ele Lodge to the southeast, and bordered by vacant, undeveloped lands to the north, east, and west. Flora and Fauna Study

• There was no finding of threatened, endangered, or species of concern for plants or animals.

• Pülama Lãna’i will implement survey recommendations to avoid introduction of noxious weeds/invasive species and provide security/site lighting for the helistop operations that mitigates danger to seabirds. Potential Impacts (Continued)

Archaeology and Cultural Resources

• The survey found no potentially significant historic resources at the two (2) helistop sites. Drainage

• There will be no change to existing drainage patterns in the project area and surface runoff is anticipated to not be significant.

• Temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction and permanent BMPs will be implemented (e.g. vegetated swales to increase percolation of runoff water into soil).

18 Potential Impacts (Continued) Open Space and Scenic Resources • The project sites do not encompass existing traditional access or walking trails and are not part of a scenic corridor. Noise and Air Quality • Flights will normally occur during daytime hours with an occasional night landing. Intermittent combined KO’ele and Mãnele helistop pads usage are limited to not exceed 12 roundtrip flights per month. • The flight path for the two (2) helistop operations is away from residential areas. • Helicopters are built for sound reduction and powered by gas turbine engines producing few pollutants.

19 Potential Impacts (Continued)

Water Use and Wastewater

• Helistop operations will not use water or generate wastewater.

Public Services and Facilities

• Helistop operations will not expand public, health, and safety services.

20 State Land Use Commission Special Use Permit Criteria

1. The use shall not be contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by Chapters 205 and 205 A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and the Commission rules.

• The KO’ele Helistop site is undeveloped and has been vacant for over 50 years.

• The Mãnele Helistop site is on a portion of the existing containerized plant nursery. • The sites total less than three (3) acres.

21 State Land Use Commission Special Use Permit Criteria (Continued)

2. The desired use would not adversely affect surrounding property.

• The flight path for the helistop operations is away from residential areas and will occur over vacant, undeveloped lands.

3. The use would not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads, streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements, and police and fire protection.

• The project will not unreasonably burden public infrastructure, education, recreational, public health, and safety services.

22 State Land Use Commission Special Use Permit Criteria (Continued)

4. Unusual condilions, trends, and needs have arisen since the district boundaries and rules were established.

• The luxury resort market is trending towards providing appropriate services and amenities to cater to guest requirements. • Lanai is limited in transportation options and helistop facilities provides guests alternative private transportation.

23 State Land Use Commission Special Use Permit Criteria (Continued)

5. The land upon the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the use permitted within the district.

Ms. Gima: Thank you very much. Next we have KenEscolito. Okay. ChadCampbell? DebbiedelaCruz?

Ms.Debbiedela Cruz:Thankyoufortheopportunityto providetestimony.My nameis Debbie dela Cruz,andI’ma Lanai resident.I thinkweallsharethe hopethat ourresortswillsucceed. Wedon’twanttoreturnto afewyearsagowhenmany goodpeoplewereleaving theislandas theylost theirjobs. So as I readuponhelistopsI hadthatin mind. Dowe needhelistopsfor the resortsto succeed?PacificBusinessNewssaidthatthehelistopsherewouldbesomeof the firstontop anyof Hawaii’shotels. Sothereare otherhighend resortswithouthelistops.

ThenI triedto thinklikethetargetrichvisitorto Lanai andthatwashardto stretch. FromT.V. andmovies,theyappeartowantthe unique,theywantcomfort,andthey wantconvenience. We’vewaitedfor hoursat the Honolulu when thereare flightdelaysand seenhowimpatient someof thosewelldressedpeopleget. Youknowthey’llneverplan-- youknow they’llnever plananothertripto Lanai.Myfirst thoughtwhenIseethis,seethatis stayhome next time.My secondthoughtis we need them. Lanaiis a one horsetown, and thathorseis highend tourism.I maylosefriendsforever,butl finallydecidednotto opposethehelistops.Thoserich peoplewantexclusivity.If we acceptthe helistops,we needto lookat minimizingthe effects onthecommunity,andconsiderwhatmakespeoplemove toLanai,andwhat makesresidents Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page4 APPROVED 07-20-2016 stay. Helicopters buzzingoverheadaren’t partof that. Basedon what I’vereadabout the helistopcontroversieselsewhere,I askthatif youconsiderthefollowing.

One,settime limitsfor theflights,such7:00a.m.to 7:00p.m. ThepermitrequestedPulama notifiedthe 110membersof theManeleandKoeleAssociationsaboutthisrequest,andthey onlyreceivedtworesponsesaskingthattherenotbeflights between11:00p.m.and5:00a.m. There’snomention of notifyingIwiolepeople. Please takeintoconsideration thatmanyofthose homeownersare part-timeresidents whodon’t workon Lanai,unlikemanyresidentswhoare workingandneedtheirsleep. Theassociation homeowners probablyhave doublewall homes, possiblyinsulated,andprobablyhaveair-conditioningsotheydon’tneedtokeeptheirwindows open. MostLanai homesaren’t doubledwalled,andpeopletypicallyleavetheirwindowsopen so noiseis afactor especiallyat night.

Numbertwo, setsoundlimitsin decibels.Wedon’twanta hugeSikorskylandings offloada largegroup. The permitrequest states thatthehelicoptersare,quote,“anticipatedto carrya maximumof sixpassengers includingthepilot,”endquote. But thisisn’ta commitmentforthat passengerload. Thenoisefromthe helicoptersis moreimportantthan thesize.

Numberthree,minimize flights whenpossiblebydroppingbaggageat theairport.

Number four,do notallowhelicoptersto fly overthe cityor withina certaindistancefromthe cityfor noiseandsafetyreasons.

Numberfive,allowuses atManelehelistopin casesof major emergenciessothe community couldget somebenefit. Thiscouldbe limitedto governmentand medivacuse. Somesmart Lanaipeoplehavepointedoutthatour current communityplandiscouragestheestablishment ofcommercial heliportfacilitiesoutsideofLanaiAirport,andprohibitsaircraftflightpatternsover LanaiCity, and late night aircraftoperationsto mitigatenoise. If the communitymakesa concessionandallows helistops, pleasemakesurethatthe communityis protectedas much as possible.

Lastly, attheKoloikilookoutseveralweeksago,therewasacouple lookingoverat Maneleand Maui, andaftera longwhile thewifeturnedandcommentedto herhusbandthatitwassoquiet. A guestwatchingthesunsetfromtheverandaoftheLodgeprobablyhasthesame thought,so let’snotkillthe goldengoosebydestroying whatpeople comeherefor. Thankyou.

Ms.Gima:Thankyouvery much. Next,we haveKathy Brindo.

Ms.KathyBrindo:I’mKathyBrindo. I’velivedonLanai,andraisedmykids here.It’sbeen36 years. AndwhatDebbiesaidoneof thefirstthingsI thought-- I thinkto myselfwhy,whydo peoplewantto comehere? There’sso muchmoreonotherislands. Andrecently,it kindof startledmebecauseit’ssomethingI’vejusttakenfor grantediswhatDebbiesaid;peoplehave saidto me,oh, it’s quiethere. We have--. Whenwethink aboutwe have thequiet,we have the lackof traffic. And theotherthing, notso manypeoplearound. And theylivewith this everyday;thetraffic,thepeople,the noise. AndI thinkwe’rekindof startingto killoffwhatwe Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page5 APPROVED 07-20-2016

have,oneof our betterthingswiththis.

I livein Iwiole, andI figurefrom the--. Well,I’mrightin front of Iwiole,and I figurefromthe tenniscourts,itwouldtakeabouta minuteforahelicoptertogetto myhouse.We’vehadthem

Andthen I hadsomequestionstoo. Howoftenarethesegoingto happen?Aretheygoingto havetoursthatgoaroundtheisland? Are theygoingto beleaving hourly?Youknow,is it

FirstI thought,oh,just onceor twicea day,butit couldbe hourly. It couldbe morethanthat dependingonwhat’shappened.

Actually,I thinkthat’s aboutit, so thankyou. Thankyoufor listening.

Ms.Gima:Thankyouvery much.

Now,I’mnotsayingthat’s goingto happenwith thehelipadhere, butwhat is -- what I noticedaboutwhatthe ads and everythingfor tourismto Hawaii,of Hawaii,Lanai, it’s aboutthe rustic Lanai; thecountry atmosphere,the peaceandquiet.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Lastcallfor publictestimonyat thistime. Joelle?

Ms.Joelle Aoki:Goodeveningcommissioners,mynameis JoelleAoki. I’ma nativeof Lanai.

And I havemixedfeelingsaboutthehelipadatKoele. I doknowfor afact thathelicoptersthat haveflownto Lanaiin the past has been very dangerousfor me and my family. On one occasionwewereroundingupourcattleandwewere getting closetothe shootarea, andthe helicopterthought,oh,roundup,andthey decidedto hoveroveruswithmeonthehorse. Ifell off, almostgottrampled,and I wasveryupset,andso I foundoutfrom our senatorstheonly way you couldhold someone responsibleis to be able to get the serial numberoff of the helicopter.Butit’snotlikeyou’re sittingtherewithyour binocularsalldaylong,and,you know, whenyou’reshookuplikethatit’salmostimpossible.Youcangetthemarkingsandidentifying marksof the, of the aircraft,but the serialnumberis very difficultto acquire. And thishas happenedmore than once.

Andalthoughwe may not havethelargeranchtoday,we still havecattleonisland andstilltill todaywhen I go out thereand I try to pushthem on foot, it’s very dangerousbecausethe helicopterspassaboveandtheywantto seewhat’sgoingonbecausetheycanseemeoutin the open and the cattlesturn around,and we’re talkingabout800 poundanimalscoming runningat meand I’mon myfeet.

Andso for meit’s beenverydangerousand...soI think,youknow,if thereare conditions,it’s veryimportantabouthowtheconditionsareplaced,andthetimesofdayandtheflight patterns.

Oftentimes,I doagreewithBruceHarveybecauseoftentimes they,they...theygooffof their flightpatterniswhatI understand.I personallyknowacoupleofhelicopterpilots who havetold me when youhavethe helipadon Lanai,they’renot goingto fly the samepattern. They’re goingto -- they’regoingveeroff of that sometimes.If theywantto --. They’renotrequiredto stayonthatflightpattern.Andso...1justwouldliketo askyouto thinkverycarefully aboutthe conditionsonthehelipadsparticularlyat Koele.Ihavenotreceived anything.I liveprettyclose to Koele,inWailuahousing, butdid knowaboutit through publicnotice.

(CPA 201510005)(CIZ201510006)(K.Wollenhaupt)

Ms.Gima:Okay,on to ItemG,whichis our publichearing.

Ms.Zigmond: Madame Chair? Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page12 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.Gima:Yes?

Ms.Zigmond: Excusemeplease.I waswonderingif, sincewe havenewmembers...and also as a refresherfor the rest ofuswho mightnot fullyunderstandor beawareof the conflictof interestespeciallywhentheapplicantistheemployer.Ifwe could have somediscussionabout that. I remembersittingon this commissionin previous timeswhen an employeerecused himselfwhenevertheapplicationwasfromthecompanyoraboutthe hotel,andIthinkthatit’s very important. I think...it’sa threatto the integrityof this commissionif we don’thavethat discussionand havea thorough understanding.

Ms.RichelleThomson:Thankyou forthequestion. Sowhatthecommissionerwasreferring to is the Boardof Ethics.Sorry,theCharter’sCodeof Ethics. Andthatstatesthatifyouhave a directfinancial interestin anapplicationthatyoushouldrefrainfromvoting. There’sa Board of Ethicsopinionfrom 2004that says thatyou’renotautomatically...you’renotautomatically disqualifiedor should refrainfromvoting,butyouneedto discloseyourconflictof interest. In this casewe’retalkingaboutan employer/employeerelationshippotentiallyby someof the members.Ifyou’re employedbytheapplicant, directly,you shoulddisclosethatontherecord. It’syourchoiceultimatelywhetheryouwould eithervote,refrain fromvoting,requesta deferral of the itemso that youcan seeka Boardof Ethic’sopinion. And if youfollowthat Boardof Ethic’sopinion,thenyou’reinthe clearasfar asthe commissioner.So if you havequestions

I cananswerthem.

Ms. KoanuiNefalar:What’sthe --. So if an employee-- what’sthe consequenceof, of the employeeif thereis a conflict?

Ms.Thomson:Basicallythepotentialconsequence wouldbewhatsomeonewho believesthat thedecisionwas made andimproperlyinfluencedbythatconflictof interest. Someonecould challengethat decision. A Boardof Ethics complaintcould also be brought againstthe commissioner,andthe Boardof Ethicscouldrecommend,you know,removalor.. .orother.

Ms.Gima:Bev,didthat answeryourquestion?

Ms.Zigmond:I appreciateCorpCounsel talkingaboutthat. I understandthat,or hopefullywe will havea little morediscussionon that whenwe get to the ethicspart of our orientation workshop. I appreciatethat. ..forwhatyougave us. I didn’t actuallyhavea question. I just neededtoputit out there,andmyunderstandingis it’salsotheperceptionofa conflictbecause thatcanbejust as detrimentalas an actualconflict.

Ms.Thomson:Thankyou.I cananswerthatquestion.It’s -- it’snota perceptionof a conflict. It’sanactualconflictof interestthat is...whatyou’re tryingto avoid.

Ms.Gima:Doanyof the othercommissionershave anyquestionsfor Corp Counselor need anyclarificationonthis?

Mr. StephenFerguson:Madame Chair,just for the recordI wouldlike tosaythat in recent Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page13 APPROVED 07-20-2016

weeksIstartedworkingfor LanaiBuilders,soI mightbeparticipatinginsomeofthediscussion, but I wouldprobablyrecusemyselffromanythingthat comesupdealingwith Pulama.

Ms.Gima:Anyotherquestionsfromanyof the othercommissioners?

Ms.Koanui Nefalar:Sohowwouldit bedeterminedthatthereis adirectconflict?‘Causeifthe employeefeelsthatthereis none,I mean,whodecidesthereis oneandwhodecidesit isn’t?

Ms.Thomson:Thankyoufor the question.It’stheBoardof Ethicswouldbethe agencythat would determine thatquestion. So this is -- this advisoryopinionfrom 2004 dealt with employees ofCastle& Cookewho wereservingon the commission.And,so the Boardof Ethicsatthattimewasn’tdealingwitha specificissue,sotherewasn’tanapplicationthatthey were lookingat. Doesthisemployeehavea directfinancialinterestsuchthatpersonshould notvoteona decisionforthatapplication.Sowhattheboardsaidwas thatemployeesarenot -- employeecommissionersarenotautomaticallyprohibitedfromvotingonmattersbroughtby then Castle& Cooke. Theymust disclosethefinancialinterestin any matter whichmaybe affectedbytheactionbythiscommission.Thecommissionermayask theboardto reviewthe matterto determineif it’s one that wouldbe affectedby the employmentrelationshipand thereforerequirethatthecommissionerabstainsfromvoting.And thenitkindofgoesontosay the commissionermust decidewhetherto proceedon thevote -- whetherto proceedonthe voteonthematter,abstainfromvoting,orrequesta deferralonvoteuntilthecommissionerhas requestedan advisoryopinion of the Board.So Robert’s Rules of Order also govern parliamentaryprocedures,andRobert’sRulesofOrdersayyoucan’tforcesomeoneto abstain fromvoting. Youcanraise,youknow,theconceptisthisa conflict ofinterest,and,youknow, you candiscussamongstyourself.Thecommissioner, though,themselvesmustdecidedothey wanttoseeka board opinion,dotheyfeelthattheydon’thaveadirectconflictofinterestsothat they can participateand vote, or if they need -- if they’reuncertainand they want a board opinionthen they can requesta deferral. And thenthat wouldbe up to this bodyto decide whetherto defer.

Ms. KoanuiNefalar:Okay,so whatyou’resayingis so...forexample,I workfor the Stateof HawaiiDepartmentof Educationat the school. So if theschool washereinfrontof usto say they’re applyingfor a permit forsomething.And becauseI workfor them,and if theirpermit gets denied-- or,well,let’s say ifmyfinancialinterestwouldbeif thepermitdoesn’tgothrough doesthat...hindermyemployment?

Ms.Thomson:. . .(inaudible).. . typicalanswerhere. It depends. Ithinkthatwhat,whatthe Boardof Ethicsandthatyou, thecommissioner,wouldlookat is,youworkforthe DOE,forthe schoolsystem. If itwerea -- sayit werefora program,it’sfundingfor aprogramthatyouwork directlyon andif that didn’tpassyouwouldloseyourjob,thatto mewouldbea clearconflict of interestand you shouldrefrain fromvoting. If you wouldnot loseyourjob, but it would generallyaffectyourworklife,that mightbea grayarea,andthenyou’dwanta Boardof Ethics opinionpriorto voting. Or if youfelt, you know,that’sa conflict,then youcouldabstainfrom voting, Ifit’sjust,youknow,we’regoingto putnewplaygroundequipmentattheschool,it has nothingto dowithyourjob. It’snot --. Youwouldn’tbe affectedby thatdecisiononewayor Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page14 APPROVED 07-20-2016 another, thenin my opinionthat would notbea conflict ofinterest. But, again,the Boardof Ethicsis reallythedecision makingauthorityonwhetheror notyou havea conflict.

Ms. KoanuiNefalar:Thenyouwouldalsohaveto go with feelingbecauseworkingfor your employeryou canfeelthe pressureof havingto vote onewayor the other becauseit affects some otherpeople that youwork with, you know,your friends,your family. You havean obligation,or a feelingof obligationto votein favor.

Ms.Thomson:I canunderstandthat. I think oneof thingsthat -- andthisis ingeneral thatthe commissionersneedto reallyputon their commissionhat whenthey’rehere.Sothey -- yes, of course,you’restill, you know,a wife,a mother,and a memberof the public,butyou’rea commissionersinthisrole,firstandforemost,andyour jobistolookatan application, applythe lawrelatedto that application,andthen makea fair decisionbasedonthe law. And it would bethe sameIwouldsaythatyour feelings shouldn’tcomein to is it a good project,is it a bad project,do I likeit, do I notlike. That’snotso muchwhatyourroleis. Yourroleis to applythe lawto the application.

Ms.Zigmond:I haveonemorequestion.Soif I’montheclock whileI’mat thismeetingmaking decisions,is that a conflict?

Ms.Thomson:I assumethat you meanon the clockfor a -- yeah,working foran applicant whose applicationis upbeforethecommission.I don’tknow. I thinkthatif thecommissioner feltthatwasa conflictof interest, then theyshouldseeka Boardof Ethicsopinion. Butthat’s gettinga littlebittoofar into the.. . (inaudible)... for meto feelcomfortablegivingadviceon it.

Ms.Gima:Thankyoufor someofthatclarification.I thinkthiswill be beneficialto continueto havethisconversationwhenwecoverethics,but alsofor allof uscommissionersas ongoing withthe meetingto bringthis up if youever feelthatyou needto state yourconflictor as to recuseyourself. Yeah,I thinkit shouldbeanongoing discussionwhenneeded.

Sowe’regoingto movealongunlessthere’sanyotherquestionsnowisthe time.Okay.We’re going on to our publichearing,Item No. I .. . (Chair KelliGima read the aboveproject descriptionintotherecord.). .. And whowill be --? Okay,I’llturn it overto you.

Mr. KurtWollenhaupt:Goodafternoonmembersof the LanaiPlanning Commission.It’s a pleasureto be here this evening. My name’sKurt, andI workwith ClaytonYoshidain the Current PlanningDivisionof the MauiCounty Departmentof Planning. So for the new commissioner,whatmy role is is to do an overviewof the project,tellyou kindof why we’re even heretonight. The applicant’srepresentative,Karlynn Fukuda,shewill be presentinga powerpointpresentationthatwilltalkaboutthespecificsubject,andthenwe’llhavequestions at the behestof the chairwomanandthe membersof the commission.

Sowhat’sthehistory,especiallyfor the newcommissioner,wedidgiveyoua discthat would have theEnvironmentalAssessmentthat was done for this project. Just to refresh the Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page15 APPROVED 07-20-2016 commissioners,the EnvironmentalAssessmentis aninformationdocumentthatwasdeemed completeby thisbody. That completiondate wasdoneon January20,2016. Thereforethe information documentis an integral partof looking at today’s public hearingitem for a CommunityPlanAmendmentanda Changein Zoning. The EnvironmentalAssessmentwas publishedby theOfficeof EnvironmentalQualityControl,andtherewasno publicchallenges duringthe legalchallengeperiod. Therefore,it is deemedcompleteto be usedfor today’s review.

That being thecase,the matter beforeyoudoesarise fromapplicationsthatwerefiled back onAugust4th 2015,andit’sfora projectknownastheLanaiAvenueHomes.Theapplications were filed by their applicant’s representative,MunekiyoHiraga,on behalfof PulamaLanai, referredto todayastheapplicant.Andit’sto reclassifyapproximatelyhalfanacre parcelfrom the CommunityPlan DistrictBusinessCommercialto Single Family.So that’sthefirstthing we’regoingto belookingtonightisa CommunityPlanAmendment.The secondistoreclassify thesamesubjectparcelfromtheCountyofMaui’s ZoningDistrictfromBusiness CountryTown to RI-Residential. So we have twothings that would be reviewedin the power point presentationin orderto makethe abilityto actuallyre-buildthesethreehouses which would requireboththe CommunityPlanAmendmentand theChangein Zoning.

Thatbeing thecase,whatistheproposeddevelopment?It involvesthereconstructionofthree singlefamilyresidencesalongwiththreedetachedcarportsin LanaiCity,locatedat605,615, and 623LanaiAvenue. ThesewereformerhomesthatweredemolishedinAugust2014,which bringsa historicalreview. Demolitionpermitswere recommendedfor approvalby the Maui CountyCultural ResourcesCommissiononDecember5th, 2013,andwereissuedbytheCounty of Maui, Departmentof PublicWorkson May 23w, 2014. The homeswere demolishedin Augustof 2014,and a detailedHistoricAmericanBuilding Survey-- that’syou’vemystically knownas HABS—documentationis inthe EnvironmentalAssessmentwhichtellsofthehistory ofeachofthethree homesandit doesmeettherequirementsof HistoricPreservationDivision of the Department ofLandand NaturalResourcesandthe NaturalParksServicesof the US Departmentof the Interior.

Thatbeingthe case,for thebenefitof thenewcommissioner,thereasonthatwehadto do an EnvironmentalAssessmentwasbecausetherewasa CommunityPlanAmendment. You’llbe getting trainingherewith Chapter343with regardsto EnvironmentalAssessmentrequires there’sa number of triggers.Oneof the triggersis if you’regoingto havea CommunityPlan Amendment,that triggersthe requirementfor an EnvironmentalAssessmentto look at the potentialeffectsof thisChangein ZoningandCommunityPlanAmendment.

With that,I thinkthatKarlynnFukudawilldothepower point presentationifthat’sokaywiththe chairwoman,andthatwill bedetaileddescriptionof the project. Thankyou.

Ms.Gima:Holdon second,oneof the commissionershave,hasa question.

Mr.Oshiro:Iwasjustwondering,forthisapplication,isthiscosting Pulamaanymonetaryvalue toapplyfor thisapplication?To haveittransferredfromresidential--commercialto residential? Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page16 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Mr. Wollenhaupt:Well, I -- I wouldn’tspeakon -- I wouldn’tspeakfor Pulama. I wouldjust speakfroma Planningperspective.Thiswouldactuallybeconsideredprobablyadown zoning. Whenyou would havea commercialpropertyin most,mostsituations,that wouldbe more valuable. So if I hada —

Mr.Oshiro:Ijust wantto knowis it costinganymoney—

Mr.Wollenhaupt:Right.

Mr.Oshiro:-- to getit fromcommercialto residential?

Mr.Wollenhaupt:Well,theydo havean applicationfee, yes,they haveto pay.Sothere’sa

CommunityPlanAmendmentfeeandaChangeinZoningfee anda publichearingfee. Iwould anticipatethosefeeswould-- Clayton might knowexactly-- but$2,000,$3,000forthosetypes of fees. Thankyou.

Ms.KarlynnFukuda:I’mgoingto needto jump backandforthto the laptop,so I’mhopefully notstandingin anyone’sway becauseI can’tgetthe

Mr.Wollenhaupt:I’ll do it.

Ms.Fukuda:Okay,thankyouKurt. SogoodeveningchairandmembersoftheLanaiPlanning Commission.MynameisKarlynnFukudaofMunekiyoHiraga.We are heretonightto present the CommunityPlan Amendmentand Changein Zoningfor the proposedLanaiAvenue ResidentialHomesProject. Next slideplease.

We are requestingthe PlanningCommission’s recommendationof approval regardingthe CommunityPlanAmendmentandChangeinZoningfortheprojecttotheMaui CountyCouncil. Nextslide please.

As Kurtmentioned,the projectentailsthe constructionof threereplacementhomeson Lanai Avenue.Thepropertyis identifiedastaxmapkey:2-4-9-006-050,andisapproximatelya half acrein size. And wesee here,it’s on the cornerof LanaiAvenueandSixthStreet,andthen KoeleStreethere,butthis is the propertythatwe’retalkingabouttonight.

Thetableshownhereindicatestheexistingandproposedlanduseentitlementsfor parcel50. In order to build the proposed threereplacementhomesand carports,a CommunityPlan Amendmentfrom BusinessCommercialto SingleFamily Residential,aswellas a Changeof Zoningfrom Business CountryTownto RI-Residential,is neededas Kurtmentioned.Next slideplease.

As previouslynoted,the projectinvolvesthe reconstructionof threereplacementhomes,and Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page17 APPROVED 07-20-2016 three individual detached carports.The formerhomesand garage-- therewasoriginallya three car garage at the site -- those were constructedas part of the originalLanai City developmentbackinthe 1920’s.Andas Kurthadmentionedthe homeswereandthe carport wasdemolishedinAugustof2014.Thenewhomeswouldberentalhomesusingtheexisting-- theoriginalexteriordesignwithsomeinteriordesignmodificationsfortoday’sliving.Next slide please. Thankyou.

Itwas notedinthe FinalEAandinthediscussionsthatwe’ve-- orthe presentations thatwe’ve hadwiththePlanningCommissionerearlierthata structuralengineeringreport wasprepared backin 2001,andnotedthatthethreehomesandthegaragewere in a dilapidatedstatewith serious termitedamage,andbasicallywerestructurallyunsafeandposeda health andpublic safety concern. And, again, as we’ve previously mentioned,those homes would be reconstructedandavailableforrental housingunitsoncethey’recompleted.Nextslide please.

Herearesomephotos ofthesiteasit existstoday.ThisislookingfromLanaiAvenuebackinto the property,and then this would be the cornerof Sixth Street looking,again,from Lanai Avenue. Nextslideplease.

Hereis the proposedsiteplan. So, again,for orientation,LanaiAvenueis here,SixthStreet here,Koeleishere,andthen youwouldhavethethreeindividual homeswitheachwiththeone cargarage. Nextslideplease.

Sorry,thisis a littlewashedoutinthe slidehere,butthisisthe proposedfloorplanfor thenew homes. It’d bethe samefloorplanfor eachhouse. Next slide.

And thenwhatyou see here,againunfortunatelythis is washedout, but thisiswhatthefront elevationwouldbe. You’vegota lanaionthe LanaiAvenuesideof the house,and thenthis wouldbethe side elevation.

As Kurtmentionedthe CommunityPlanAmendmentwas the triggerfor the Environmental Assessment.TheanticipatedFindingsof NoSignificantImpacts(FONSI)were publishedwith theOfficeof EnvironmentalQualityControl(OEQC)EnvironmentalNoticein Octoberof 2015. Thecommission,the PlanningCommission,reviewedandcommentedon the DraftEAat its October215tmeeting,andreviewedthe FinalEA andapprovedthe Findingsof NoSignificant Impactsor FONSIat its January20, 2016meeting. The FONSInoticewas publishedinthe OEQCEnvironmentalNoticein Februaryof thisyear. Nextslideplease.

We note that there has beena numberof communitymeetingson this proposed project. PulamaLanaiheldmeetingsin September of2013,andthen againin Julyof 2015. As Kurt mentionedearliertheMauiCounty Cultural ResourcesCommissionreviewed the project,one, in October2013, here on Lanai; and then againin Decemberof 2013with regardsto the demolitionof theold homes. Andas I previouslymentionedthe Lanai PlanningCommission hasreviewedthe EAdocumentontwooccasions whichis also providedfor publicinput. And there’sbeengenerallypublicsupportfor this project. Nextslideplease. Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page18 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Interms of theCommunityPlanAmendmentcriteria,we notethe projectcompliancewith the followingareasas demonstratedin the Final EA.With regardsto archaeologyand cultural resources,the State HistoricPreservationDivision(SHPD)hasdeterminedthattheproposed projectwillnotaffecthistoricproperties. Trafficimpacts--thetrafficassessmentthatwasdone determinedthattheprojectwouldhavea minimalimpact because thesite waspreviouslyused for residentialuseaswell. Withregardsto infrastructure,thesite hasaccessto existingwater andsewerservices,andthereareexisting drainageimprovementsinthe area. Withregards to flora and fauna,therewere no threatenedor endangeredspecies foundat the site. It’s surroundedbyexistingdevelopment.Andagainitwasformerlyusedforresidentialuse. With regardsto beachand mountainaccess,the site does not impactany traditionalbeachor mountainaccess trails. And as I mentionedpreviouslythere have a beena numberof communityoutreach meetingsto talkaboutthe proposedproject. Nextslideplease.

Similarlywithregardsto theChangeinZoningcriteria fortheproposedprojecthave been met with,(a),theproposed requestmeetstheintentoftheGeneralPlanandobjectivesandpolicies of thecommunityplanof the County. Theproposedrequestis consistentwiththe applicable communityplanslandusemapof theCounty.

Thisconcludesthe presentation,andwe’reavailableto answerquestions.Thankyou.

Ms.Zigmond: Madame Chair?I havea questionplease. I’mnotsurethatyou willbeableto answer thisbut -- and I’ll prefacethis bysayingI don’tthink anybodycan denythe needfor housinghere -- theseareto be~entaIunits,and I’mcuriousif, like,let’ssaymyselfwhodoes notworkfor eitherthe companyor the FourSeasonswouldbeableto -- if I wouldbeeligible to rentoneof thosehousesif I could affordit.

Ms.Fukuda:I’llturnthat overto LynnMcCroryfrom PulamaLanai.

Ms.LynnMcCrory:Thankyou. LynnMcCrory,PulamaLanai.There’sbeennodecisionsmade on howthesewill be rentedor anythingelsealongtheselines atthis point. So, andno price either.

Ms.Zigmond:I’mnotworriedaboutthe price. I’mjust worried. .. (inaudible). . Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page19 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.McCrory:No,itwouldassumeit’sopentoeveryone.I can’timaginethatwewould justsay just this. I knowwe’veheardtestimonyfrom a numberof peoplesayingcouldthe original familiesor membersofthe originalfamiliesrentthosehouses,too. We’veheardthat. So,just nodecisions haveevenbeingmadeonthat.

Ms.Zigmond: Thankyou. But that wouldbe goingcontraryto what the company’scurrent housing policyis. Yes.

Ms. McCrory:I don’t knowwhatthe currentpolicyis. I’msorry. This is with testimonywe receivedin the past. Sowe keeptrackof allthevariouscomponentsandsay whenwe getto thatpoint. Wegotta getthroughCounty Council afterthis.

Mr. Oshiro:My questionis, you know,when you saygeneral meetingsyou have with the community. What kind of meetingsyou talking about? If you’re talkingabout Pulama’s communitymeetings whichI gete-mailover,I neva seewhatthemeeting’sabout. Itjust says Pulamahasa communitymeetingandthere’sno-- nothingontheresayingwhatthemeeting’s about.And I wonderbecauseif the -- there’sa flyer attachedto it, if thatflyeris postedaround thecity,there’snothingintherethatsaysthismeetingisfor thisreason,or thisiswhatis going be broughtup. So howcanyousay -- you know,what I’mtryingto sayis howcan -- if that’s whatyou’regoingon,thatcommunitymeeting,that flyerthatgoesout,liketheyjust hadone, it didn’tstatewhatthemeetingwasaboutor whattheyweregoingto discuss.SoI don’tknow where you’re gettingyourcommunityor your general informationthatthecommunityfeelsthis way becausewhen I lookat it, I’ve -- you know,unlessit dealswith me, I not goingto the meeting becauseI don’thavethetime. So,youknow,Idon’tknow. Socanyouexplainto me where you’regettingyourinformationfrom?

Ms. Fukuda:So, my understandingis that PulamaLanaidoes generalmeetings withthe community everymonthto talk abouta variety ofmattersthat they havegoingon. These communitymeetingsare notrequired.

Mr.Oshiro:I understandthatpart,okay. WhatI’msayingisthe flyer,thee-mailthatIgetevery monthsayscommunitymeetings,butitdoesn’tstatewhatisbeingmentionedonthecommunity meeting.

Ms.Fukuda:So I’ll deferto LynnMcCroryonthatone.

Ms.McCrory:LynnMcCrory,Pulama Lanai.Weactuallyjustnoticedthatwhenyou lookatthe flyerfor themeetingon an iPhoneit’s blankasto the purpose.Ifyoulookat it on a computer and you seeit postedaround town,it saysspecificallythe communitymeetingis aboutthe Manele Hotelupdates,it’saboutSportingClays,it’saboutthethree LanaiAvenueHomes.We havenoideawhy thatis, but I sawit myselfwith this lastManeleone. So if you’relookingat onlyon an iPhone,then,yeah, it’s goingto showblank. But thepost,the noticesare also postedaroundtown...sotheyareput up.

Mr.Oshiro: Okay,beforemy Mac,myDellblewupand I wentto iPhone,I mean,to myApple, Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page20 APPROVED 07-20-2016

it didn’t matter.It didn’tstate anything.It -- well,it didn’tstate anythingfor me. And it’s like, whyyousendingmethis,this notice whenthere’s nothing therefor me to lookat?

(CommissionerMarleneBalteroexcusedfromthemeetingatapproximately6:10 p.m.)

Ms.McCrory:LynnMcCrory.Iwillcheckon theApple. I hadnotheardthat before.Andwe’ve

beendoingcommunitymeetings since Octoberof 2013,so I havenothadanyone comeand

saythat. I noticedit on the Phone,so thatonefor sure. Butwe’lladdanApplecomputerto findoutwhy it doesn’tshow. Butthereare notices postedaroundtown. Thatis also partof whatwedo.

Ms.Gima:Andthenwithoutanyobjectionsofthecommissioners,I’mgoingtoopenuptopublic testimonyagainto seeif there’sanybody thatwouldliketotestimony.Ifso,pleaseraiseyour hand. Kathy? And pleasestateyour namefor the record.

Ms.Carroll:KathyCarrollwithMikeCarroll Gallery,andwe’velivedhere15years.We’reinfull supportofthisre-zoning,andtherebuilding ofthethreehomes.Wethinkit’simportanttohonor thearchitecturethatwaspreviouslyhere,anditis importantto havemore rentalhomesonthe island. Thankyou.

Ms. Gima:Thankyou. Warren?

Mr.Osako:WarrenOsako, wasbornandraisedon Lanai, andhave beenbackherenearly30

Andthe rulesactuallysay

thereshouldbeat leastonemeetinga yearhere. ButI amin favorof thechange.

However,I also havea concern about there’sthreehomesof thatera anddesign between

Ninth andEighthStreeton LanaiAvenue.Twoof themare stillownedbyPulama.I thinkone is stilloccupied,theotheroneis not,andI’mhopingthattheydonotdodemolitionbyneglect becauseone is still occupied. If it’s liveableit can be saved. The otheronewas recently vacated.You know,it shouldbeableto besavedandthat’smycomments.Thankyou.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Anyoneelsewishingto givetestimonyat this time?

Ms.CaronGreen: CaronGreen. I’vebeena residentof Lanaifor overnine yearsnow,and I canrememberpassingdownLanaiAvenuefor all thoseyearsandsayingwhata shamethat thosebuildingwerelookingso awful. Theywerea total eye sore.And I commendPulama Lanaifor goingthroughtheeffortto doallthe work,to gettheplanssothattheycanreplicate them as close as possibleto makethem useabletoday. And of course,as peoplehave mentioned,we alwaysneedrental property.Whetheror notit’sgoingto rentedto peoplefrom Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page21 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Pulama Lanaior people fromFourSeasonsorthecommunityatlarge,itwillhelpalleviatesome of the pressurein thecommunityon housing,so I’mvery muchin favor.

Ms.Gima:Anyoneelse? John?

Mr. John de a Cruz: Hello.I’mJohnde Ia Cruz,I liveon Lanai. And Brad,I did attendthe meetingaboutthehouses,andI havenoobjectionsonthehousesbeingbuilt. Theonlything, concernI have is...l believe thosethree houseswere in a housingpool. But I’m not sure whethertheywereinforthegeneral employeesorforsupervisors.ButIwouldrecommend that the housesbe madeavailableinthe samecategoryas theywerebefore,thattheygo backin the housingpool. AndI do comment,though,thatthe..the plansI saw,the housesare really niceandI believethey’regoingto bewellbuilt,they’llhaveparkingin the back. Iftheytryand parkinfront there’sgoingto beproblems,andI’veseencarsparktherewhile, whilethehouses werevacant. But,again,I haveno objectionson the housesbeingbuilt. Theonlyconcern is...Pulamashouldlook backintheirrecords,andit shouldbeinyourfacilitiesdepartment,and thereusedto be a housingcommitteethataddressedall the housingconcernsona monthly basis,andI don’tknowif theystillhave that.ButIthinkwiththehousing shortage, thosethree houses shouldbeputbackintothesamepoolthattheywerebeforetheywere uninhabitable. Anyway, thosearemycomments.Thankyou.

Mr.Wollenhaupt:Good eveningagain MadameChairman, Chairwoman,andthemembersof the Lanai PlanningCommission. The next item beforeyou is indeedthe requestby the applicant,PulamaLanai,to obtaina Conditional Permitand a State LandUseCommission SpecialPermitto allowthedevelopmentoftwoprivatehelistoppadson2.5acresofthe69,270 acre parcelin Lanai. Theapplicantis indeedproposingto constructtwo private helistoppads onLanai. Thepresentationthatwillbegivenbytheapplicant’s representative,KarlynnFukuda,

will hopefullyaddresssomeof thecritical detailedelementsofexactlywhatthisproposalis. I thinkthere hasbeensometalkabout toursandflyovers. It is indeeda private helistop.The applicantwill begettinginto thespecific detailsof that. I’m here toaddresswhyare weeven heretonightfor this application,especiallyfor our newestcommissioner.

The reasonfor a ConditionalPermit,the projectsitesare not located-- theyare locatedon property;both projectsites whichis indicatedas Agriculturalby MauiCounty zoning.That Countyzoningdoesnotsetforthasa permitted,whichwouldbeoutrightallowed,or aSpecial Usewhichcouldbe donewithjust this body’sdiscretion. A helistopwithinthe County’sag zoningdistrict,that beingthe case,we haveto go to what we call a ConditionalPermit. A Conditional Permitis toallowsomethingthat wouldn’totherwisebeallowed,andthereforethis bodyis advisory dependingonwhateverdecisiontheymake,totheCountyCouncil.Sothat’s the ConditionalPermitprocessbecausebothof these sitesareinAg Countyzoning. Helistop, heliportfacilitiesare notanoutrightor a specialuse.

The seconditem-- thesecondpermittonightistheStateLandUseSpecialPermit.Andas all the memberswouldknow,all landinHawaiiissplitintofourstatedistricts:Conservation,Urban, RuralandAg. TheprojectsitefortheKoelehelistoppad,that’slocatedintheruralstate district, and theManelehelistopis locatedwithinthe agriculturaldistrict. That beingthe case,the helistoppadsareagainnotanoutrightpermitteduseineithertheStateRuralortheStateAg. And since they’renotanoutrightpermitteduse,thereforewe haveto have thisbodydetermine whetheror notthatcanbeobtainthrougha StateSpecialPermit. Becausetheprojectareais lessthan15acres,the LanaiPlanningCommissionactsasthedeciding authorityontheState SpecialPermit. Werethisto begreaterthan15acres, thisbody wouldmakean advise-- an advisory decisionto the StateLandUseCommission.

So, I knowit’s a bit technical,but I hopeit helpsthe newestcommissioner.So we havetwo permitslookingatConditionalPermit,you’readvisory; andaState Special Permitinwhichyou’ll makea decision. The decisionthat you would makeon the StateSpecialPermittonight, whateverit will be,will becontingentuponwhetheror notit movesto theCounty Counciland whatdecisionthat theymake. So youwill makedecisionofthe StateSpecialPermit.Thatwill beessentiallyheld untiltheConditionalPermitcanbereviewed.

That being the case,I thinkthat the powerpoint presentationis goingto hopefully address specific questionswithregardstowhataprivate helistopis,thatit’snotacommercialoperation. Withregardstothenumber proposedbytheapplicantwhichwouldbe12operationspermonth. Withregardsto themaximumnumberofpassengers;thehelicopterwhichthey’ve indicatedis six. Therefore,IthinkthatwiththeapprovalofMadameChairwomanwe’llhavethepower point Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page26 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.Fukuda:GoodeveningChairandmembersofthe LanaiPlanningCommission.Myname is KarlynnFukudaof MunekiyoHiraga,andwe’re heretonightto presentthe proposedtwo privatehelistoppadsproject. Next slideplease.

Again,joining me tonight is Lynn McCroryof PulamaLanai,the land owner and project applicant. Nextslide please.

Theprojectproposesthe installationof twonewprivate helistoppads;onelocatedin Manele, andtheotherin Koele. Inorderto proceedwiththeproject,two permitapprovalsareneeded as Kurt had mentioned;a StateSpecialUse Permitand a County ConditionalPermit. The PlanningCommissionasKurtmentionedistheapprovingbodyfortheStateSpecialUsePermit becausethe projectarea is less than15acresin size,and a helistopuseis a specialusein agriculturalandruraldistricts.AndthentheMauiCounty Councilistheapproving bodyforthe ConditionalPermit,andthecommissionis thereviewingbodyonthat permit.TheConditional Permitisrequiredbecauseahelistopuseisnotapermittedorspecialuseforagriculturalzoned lands. Nextslide please.

Thepurposeoftheproposedprojectistoprovideanalternativetransportationoptionforguests of theManele Resortandthe Lodge ofKoeleonceit reopens includingfor Mr.Ellison andhis guests. As Kurt mentionedtheapplicantis proposinga limit ofupto 12roundtripspermonth in totalfor bothhelistopsites. Nextslideplease.

Here’sa mapwithagenerallocationoftheManeleand Koelehelistopsites.Again,I apologize the outlineof Lanai islandis a littlewashedout, but generallyhere’sa locationof wherethe

Koelesite,andIhaveaerialphotosthatwillgetmorespecifictowherethesiteactuallyis. Four SeasonsLodgeat Koeleis locatedhere,andthen the proposed Manelehelistopis located approximatelyhere, andagainthe FourSeasonsResortLanai atManeleBayis locatedhere. Next slideplease.

Thetwohelistopsitesarelocatedon portionsofthe sametaxmapkeyparcel whichis parcel 2-4-9-002-001.Intotal theprojectareais approximately2.5acresin size,and thetablehere showsa summaryoftheexistinglandusedesignationsforeach site.Sofor Manele, theState LandUsedesignationis Agricultural,Agricultural,andAgriculturalacross the threelayersof entitlement. Andthe siteacreageis approximately0.9 acres. ForKoele,the State LandUse designationis Rural, butthe CommunityPlandesignationand Countyzoningis Agricultural, andit’sapproximately1.6acresin size. Nextslide please.

The proposedimprovementsat each helistop site includesthefollowing. A 60footdiameter helistop pad with stone apron and six-inch concretefoundation;air field lights, ground directionalarrows,windsockpolesand markingsfor pilotvisualapproach. Therewill bethe removalof several existing treesatthe Koelesite. Andthe Manelesite willinvolverelocation ofthe existingnurseryoperationandremovalof sometreesandasurroundingwall. Therewill alsobesiteclearing, grading, grubbingandexcavationat thesite. Nextslideplease. Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page27 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Sohere’sanaerialphotooftheManelesite.Again...here’stheFourSeasonsResortatManele Bay,and this is the proposed Manelehelistopsite. You can kind of make outthe existing containerized plant nurseryat thatsite. Next slideplease.

Here’san aerial photozoomedin to the actualsitethat’s beingproposedfor Manele.Again, youcanseethecontainerizedplantnurserythat’sexisting.AndyoucanalsoseetheHulopoe Drive, theaccessroadthat wouldbeusedto accessthe helistopsite.

This is a renderingof whatthe Manele sitewould looklike after the improvementsare completed. The ingressand egress flightpath is indicatedhere,and was approvedby the FederalAviationAdministrationor FAA. If wecangoto the nextslide please.

Sosimilarlynow for Koelelookingatthat, again,wehave zoomedout viewoftheaerial photo of Koele. Andsowe have LanaiCity here, andwe havethe FourSeasonsResort,theLodge at Koele,and thenthe proposedKoelehelistopsite. Nextslideplease.

Again,this is an aerial photoof the site as it exists today, the Koelesite. We seeherethe existingtenniscourtsandthe Koelestables. Nextslide please.

Andhereis againa renderingofwhattheKoelehelistopsitewouldlooklikeoncecompleted. The access wouldbeofftheexistingKeamokuHighway,accessingthesame pavedareaand parkinglotthat is usedfor the existing tenniscourts. Again theflightpathwas locatedonthat slideandhas beenapprovedbytheFederalAviationAdministration.

We notethatthe StateDepartmentofTransportationin July2014submitteda letterissuinga determinationthat therewerenoStatepermitsrequiredfor theproposed private helistoppads. Andin Marchof2015the U.S.Department of TransportationFAAapproved this Koelehelistop siteandManele helistopsite. Theconditions,thereareconditionsonthatapprovalbytheFAA, and, well, we note that the minimumflight restrictionis 1,500feet aroundLanaiCity and Manele,andelsewherein Lanaiit’s 500feet; thatall operationsbe conductedin visualflight ruralweatherconditions;thatthe landingareais limitedto privateuse.

Justgenerallytoexplainhowtheoperationwould work,a guest wouldarrange fortransportto the Manelehelistop,for example,andwouldneedto contactPulamaLanaito let -- the pilot wouldneedto contactPulamaLanaito let them knowthat there’sa flight comingin. And Pulama Lanaiwouldhave toset intomotionthe preparationsto greetthe guestsat the site. There wouldbesomesetupthatwouldneedto bedoneas wellas lettingthe FourSeasons knowto have their shuttle meet the guests.But it’s for privateuse only. It’s not as if a commercialtouroperatorcould,youknow, landatthesitejust becausethesiteactuallyexists.

All approach/departure operationsare conductedfroma 040degreesto 220degreesplusor minus 10 degrees. Again,this is FAA conditionsthat they have. And that priorto use,a representative oftheFAAneedstocomeoutandevaluateeachhelistop forcompliance.Next slide please. Lanai Planning Commission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page28 APPROVED 07-20-2016

We do notethat HawaiiRevisedStatutesChapter343for the installationof new helicopter facilities...it’sconsideredatrigger,andHRSSection343-2 providesthedefinitionof helicopter facilitiesas thefollowing. It means:

“Anyareaof landor waterwhichis used,or intendedfor usefor thelanding or takeoffofheilcopters;andanyappurtenantareaswhichareused,orintendedfor usefor helicopterrelatedactivities or right-of-way.”

Nextslide please. Howeverwe notedthat Chapter343-5providesfor exceptionsfrom the requirementsfor compliancewith Chapter343. And I’ll just read here...providedthat, or proposetheconstruction ofnew ortheexpansionormodificationofexistinghelicopter facilities within the State, thatby the way of their activitiesmay affect, (a), any landsclassifiedas conservationdistrictbyStateLandUseCommission;anyshorelineareasasdefinedinSection 205A-41;or any historic sites designatedin the NationalRegisteror HawaiiRegisteras providedfor in the HistoricPreservationAct of1966. And I won’t go into the rest of the information,butIthinkeveryone understandsthatiftherewasasitethatwasdesignatedbythe NationalRegisterof HistoricPlacesor on the StateRegisterof HistoricPlaces,you know,if there was constructionof that facility or to impactthat, then a Chapter343 EA would be required. Nextslideplease.

Thenextslideprovidesananalysisofthe proposedprojectanditspotential impactstovarious considerations.Firstwith regardsto surroundinglanduses,the Manelehelistopis located approximatelyonemilefromtheManele Resort,andabout%milefromresidentialareastothe east,andborderedbyvastvacantlandsto the north,south andwest.

The Koelehelistopislocatedabout%milenorthwestof LanaiCity,about quartermile from the LodgeatKoeletothesoutheast,andborderedalsobyvacant,undevelopedlandsto thenorth, eastandwest.

Therewasa floraandfaunastudydonefor bothsites,andthe studyfoundthatthere wereno findingof threatened,endangeredspeciesor speciesconcernsfor eitherplantsor animalsat eithersites.

PulamaLanaiwill implementthe surveyrecommendationsto avoidthe introductionof any noxiousweedsor invasivespeciesandprovidesforsecurityandsafetylightingforthehelistop operations whichalsomitigatesdangerto seabirds. Nextslideplease.

Again,onthearchaeologyandculturalresources,therewasanarchaeologicalinventory survey performedfor bothsites. Andthe surveyfoundno potentiallysignificanthistoric resourcesat eitherthe Maneleor Koele site. Withregardsto drainage,therewasa drainagestudydone, andtherewill be nochangeto theexisting drainagepatternsin the projectarea,andsurface runoffis notanticipatedto besignificant. Additionally,temporaryBestManagementPractices (BMP)willimplementedduringconstruction,aswellaspermanentBestManagementPractices will beimplementedfor the project.Nextslideplease. Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page29 APPROVED 07-20-2016

With regards to open space and scenic resources,the project site themselvesdo not encompassexistingtraditionalaccess or walkingtrails,and are notpartofthesceniccorridor. Withregardsto noiseandair quality, again,theflightswill normallyoccurduring day lighthours and,again,we’re lookingat upto 12roundtripflightsfor bothKoeleandManelesitesintotal permonth.Sotheflightpathfor thetwo helistopoperationsis away fromtheresidentialareas, and helicoptersare built for sound reductionand poweredby gas turbines producingfew pollutants.

With regardsto water use and wastewater,the helistop operationsat either sitesare not anticipatedto usewateror generate wastewater.Itwill be a pick upand dropoff site. You know,nofueling,nomaintenancethat willoccurateitherofthesesites. It’sbasicallystopping to drop offsomebodyor stoppingto pickupsomebodyand thenthey’reoffto eitherHonolulu or Maui orwherevertheywill be going. Publicservicesandfacilities,the helistopoperations is not expectedto expandanyrequirementsfor public,health, orsafety services.Next slide please.

We’ll nowlookat the criteriafor the State LandUseCommissionSpecialUsePermitandan analysisoftheproposedproject.Socriteriano.1 theuseshall notbecontrarytotheobjectives soughtto beaccomplishedbyChapters205and205AoftheHawaiiRevised Statutes.Andthis is the LandUseCommissionrules. We notethatthe Koelehelistopsiteis undevelopedand hasbeenvacant for over50years. Andthe Manelehelistopsiteis ona portionof theexisting containerizedplantnursery.Intotal,the sitesasI mentionedearlier,arelessthanthreeacres in size.

Criteriano.2, the desiredusewouldnotadversely affectthesurroundingproperty.Theflight pathfor the helistopoperationsis awayfrom residentialareas,and will occur overvacant, undevelopedlands.

Criteriano.3,theusewouldnotunreasonablyburdenpublicagenciestoprovideroads,sewers, streets,water, drainage,schoolimprovements,andpoliceand fireprotection.Again,with the limitedoperations,again, dropand pick up, it’s notanticipatedto unreasonablyburdenany publicinfrastructure or services.Next slideplease.

Conditionno. 4,unusual conditions,trends,andneedshavearisensince thedistrict boundaries andruleswereestablished.I, I notethatthe StateLandUseCommission DistrictBoundaries wereestablishedinthe early1960’s. And,youknow,at that timethefocusor the economic driverfor Lanaiwas agricultural.Whereasin today...today’sconditions,tourismis the main economicdriverfor the, for the island. Sowe notethat the luxury resortmarketis trending towardsproviding appropriate servicesandamenitiesto caterto guestsrequirements.And Lanaiislimitedintransportationoptionsandhelistopfacilities provide guestsanotheralternative for privatetransportation.Nextslide please.

Finally,criteriano.5,thelandupontheproposeduseissoughtis unsuited for theusepermitted withinthe district. TheManelehelistopis on agriculturalzonedlandsthat is ratedE by the Statefor overallproductivitywhichis thelowestlevelof productivity,andisless thanfavorable Lana’iPlanning Commission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page30 APPROVED 07-20-2016 for agricultural production.TheKoelehelistopis alsoonagriculturalzoned landsthat’srated D, alsoindicatinglowagriculturalproduction.Next slideplease.

I’d now liketo focuson the County ConditionalPermitinformationand permit criteria.The proposeduse wouldnot significantly-- would not be significantlydetrimentalto the public interest,convenienceandwelfare,andwillbeinharmonywiththeareawhichit islocated.The sitesarelocated away fromthepopulatedareasof Lanai,andsurroundedprimarilybyvacant andundevelopedlands. Again,the applicantis proposinga limitonthe usagewhereit would be no morethan 12 round tripsper month,combinedfor bothKoeleandManele. And the proposeduseiscompatiblewiththesurroundingpermitteduses;hotel,commercial,residential, andopen landrecreation.

Soinsummary,there aretwoactionsbefore thePlanningCommissiontonightfortheproposed private helistops in Manele and Koele. We are respectfullyrequestingthe Planning Commission’sapproval ofthe StateSpecialUsePermitfor a period offive yearsfor the two helistops. We are also requestinga favorablerecommendationto the CountyCouncilfor approval ofthe ConditionalPermitfor a period offiveyearsfor thetwo helistopsaswell.

I wasreadingtheConditionalPermit sayingthatthe Countyput outandthe Countysayingthatthey’reapprovingthis. Howin the heckcan theyapprovesomethingon our island. It has nothingto do with themon Mauior anywhereelse. Thisis a slapin the face. Thisis the samethingthat’shappening withour communityplan. OurcommunityplanwentforwardandtheCountydecidedtochangeit. They decidedto takewordsout ofthecommunityplan,andchangeit completely. We hadto fight them,andwe’restillfightingthem,we’restillsittingatthetable,tryingtofigureoutwhat’sgoing on with ourcommunityplanwhichwe spentninemonthson. Whydidn’tthis come outwhile we weredoingthe communityplan? You can’ttell me this just grewout ofthe dust. They shouldhave toldusthen;we could’vehandledit.

Seasonsdesireto make theguestexperienceon our islandspecial,but I thinkwe need to rememberthat the FourSeasonsguestexperienceon Lanaiis basedon the beauty,onthe peace,ontheserenity,andthe quietof ourcommunity.Havinga helicopterland andtakeoff lessthanone-halfof a milefrom a majorresidentialdevelopment,in particularlwiole, would significantly impactthose veryspecialqualitiesinourcommunity.The application says,quote, thesitesarelocated awayfrompopulatedarea,endquote. Buttheflightpathisuncomfortably closeto wherewe all live. It wouldbeverydifferentif the LanaiAirportwas not locatedless than 10 minutes awayfrom the Lodge at Koele. So I encouragethe Lanai Planning Commissionto denythe Special LandUsePermit forthe Koelehelistop,andrecommendto CountyCouncil thatthe ConditionalUsePermitfor the Koelehelistopbedenied.

Mr.WarrenOsako: Warren Osakoagain. Basicallythepresentationshowedtheflightpath,but it didn’t extendall the way towardsthe city. And if you know aboutanglesanddegrees,the fartherawayit gets,thewiderit isfromthe point.So I’msureit will impactthe peopleonthat sideoftown,andit isirritatingto havethesound. AndI amnotinfavorof the helistopatKoele.

But ifyoudoapproveit, I wouldrecommendthe hourly restrictions.Thankyou.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Next,KathyCarrol.

Ms.KathyCarrol:Yes,Kathy CarrollandMikeCarroll.JustbuildingonwhatDebbiedeIaCruz was sayingearliertoday. I do believethat tourismis the engineof the islandandwe, we -- anythingthatwill bringvisitorsherewhoaregoingto spend moneyat the resort,spendmoney intown,supporttheservers, the housekeepers, everyoneherewhodependsontourism.Ithink Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page33 APPROVED 07-20-2016 in our opinionanythingthat bringsmorevisitorsin, as long as it’s in compliancewith FAA restrictions,the limitationontheflightpaths,noveeringoff theflightpaths. FromwhatI read, the sound--they said thatyouwould hearthe helicoptersound for45 seconds,andthisis 12 timesa month. And wedon’teven knowif it’sgoingto be 12timesa monthintown,I mean, well,at Koele. Theycouldall begoingto Manele.So to me -- it seemsto methat thiswasa well thoughtout planthat can only really benefitthe communityas a whole. So we are in supportof the helistops.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Thatwastheendof the people who signedup. Is thereanyoneelse wishingto givetestimony? Caron?

Ms.Green:CaronGreen. Is it on? Okay. I’dliketo builda littlebit onwhatyousaid

Kathy. I’m sittinghere listening,and, you know,I love Lanaifor what it is, for its quietand everything,but, I thinkwe needto put it in perspective.Andthat’swhatI thinkwhatyou were saying,Kathy,iswe’retalkingabout--and I needclarificationonone thing--you say12round trips. Areyou talking about coming, droppingsomebodyand immediatelyleaving? Not somebodycomingin once,andthenleaving. Thehelicopterisjust a round-trip,correct? Not the passenger.Okay.

So Ithinkmostof themare goingto downat Manele. Just,you’vegotmoreroomsat Manele.

You havea higherpricepointfor theroomsdownat Manele,so I thinkin general,yourclients are goingto be goingto Manele. I live at Manele. It doesn’tbotherme one iota. I’mtotally supportiveof supporting thehotelsto be successful. And I just don’t want alwaysto be in

Larry’s facesaying,youknow,I liveonLanainowsothisis myisland. Iwantto becooperative with Larryto helphimbesuccessful.He’sgivenuslotsof thingsthathedidn’t havetogiveus, andso I thinkwe needto workwithhim tomakehimsuccessful.Andifwhatshesaidisit’s45 secondsin and 45 secondsout, a few times a month,it’s not goingto significantlydisturb everybody’speaceandthe beautyof Lanai. It’sa hugeisland. There’sso manyotherplaces besides wherethesehelicoptersaregoingto begoing. Andso I’minsupportof bothofthem.

AndI don’t knowif I hadanotherlittlequestionhere. I dothinkthatsomeoftheconditionsthat peoplewantto puton areveryfair, that,youknow,the hoursof daysthat theycando it and also specifying whenitsayswe’rehaifa milefromLanaiCity. Yeah,we’retalking theperimeter of LanaiCity? Are we talkingthe centerof LanaiCity? SoI thinkwe doneedto bewellaway fromanyhousing.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Melvin?

Mr. Catiel:You knowaunty,you comehereon Lanai,that’swhatLanaiis, yeah? You gotta worrythat,aunty. You,Italkingtoyou. YoucomedownbecauseLanaiis.

Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page34 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ah,shutyourmouth.

Ms. Gima:Okay. Pleasewhen you comeup to testifypleaseaddressthe Commissioners directly. Ma’am,youhadyourhandraised?Comeon upandstate yournamefor the record.

Ms.BarbaraMcintyre:Barbara Mcintyre.I’vebeena Lanairesidentfor 16years,upat Koele, and I’m goingto reada letter thatas Presidentof the KoeleHomeownersAssociation. I’m sorry. I’malsopresidentof our KoeleHomeownersAssociationand I’mgoingto readyoua letterwhichI wroteto ChairpersonGimain supportof the helipads.

DearMs.Gima. This iswrittentestimonyin supportof the proposalfor privatehelistoppads on Lanai,whichisontheagendafortonight’smeeting.Themembersofthe boardof directors of the KoeleHomeowners Associationare in unanimoussupportof this proposal,and we representthe support ofthe majorityof ourhomeownersat Koele. We are in favor of this amenityfortheFour Seasonsguests,whichinturnwillhavea positive effectonthecommunity -- onthe economyof theentireLanaicommunityby bringingmorehotelgueststothe islands. We canfind no objectionsto the proposed helistop locations,the flight padsor the hoursof operations, We are reassuredthat the FAA will givetheir approvalafter theirfinal site inspection,and that the operationwill be conductedunder theirrules. In closing,we strong recommendthatthe LanaiPlanningCommissionaswell asthe MauiCountyCouncilapprove this proposal.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Alberta?

Ms.AlbertadeJetley:ThankyouCommissioners.MynameisAlbertadeJetley. Duringallof the testimonythat’sbeenpresentedand thepowerpointpresentation,it didn’t mentionthat duringthecommunitymeetingswehadpreviously withPulama Lanai,these helicopterswillbe comingin andgoingout rightaway. Theycannotwaitaroundinthe heliport,on the helipad. Thecan’tkeeptheirenginesrunning.Theirsolepurposeisto comein,drop offtheguestsand leave. If they haveto wait morethan 15 minutes,theywill haveto be relocatedto the Lanai Airport. Theycan’tsit onthe groundatthe helipadwaitingfor thegueststo arrive. Theirsole purposeis to comein anddropoff, orcomein and pickup, andleaveright away.So I amin favorof thisproject. Thankyou.

Ms.Gima:John?

Mr.delaCruz:My name--. Isit on? Yousure? Okay. Mynameis JohndeIaCruz. I liveon Lanai. AndI’mreallygladAlbertaandthe otherladycameupafterMelvinbecauseit’sreally hardtofollowMelvin. But,youknow,goaheadandbuildyour heliportatManele.I’mfine with that. Youknow,theguest experienceis fine. Andyouknowwhatnobody mentionedis that theLanaiAirportsometimes get foggedin,so letthemland‘eminManele. That’sfine. Buttwo wordsthat have beenthrownaroundtonightare anticipatedand estimated. You know,it doesn’tpindown anything.You letthemlandatKoele,itcouldbethey’llflyanytimetheywant, dayor night, Ifyoudo let‘emlandat Koele,don’tletthemland atnight. And I reallypreferif theydon’tland -- I mean,did I say Koele?I wouldreallypreferif thatthey don’tland atall at Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page35 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Koelebecause...eventhoughthey’re cominginfromacertaindistance,atacertainheight,and a certainangle, ifanythinggoeswrong,helicoptershavea real longglidepath.Ifanything goes wrong,theycancrashanyplacewithinfivemilesofwheretheyarestationarywhentheincident happens.Andforone,myhouseiswithinfivemilesof Koele. So,I reallywouldpreferthatthe -- theydon’tfly intoKoele. Butifyoudo,notat night.Andonereasonfor thisthat eventhough thereare FAArulesgoverning helicopters,andgoverningdrones,and governinglasers,you still goingto havetheones whodon’tfollowrules.

AndI hopeLanai people don’tdothis,butonQahuthey’vebeenpointinglasersat pilots. And on anotherisland-~ andI hopeLanaipeopledon’tdothis -- therehas -- I think therewas one drone strikeon an aircraftflyingout, flyingout of Hawaii,and,and maybefortunatelythese planesareso big, onmost partsof afuselageona largeplanetheycanabsorba dronecrash. Theselittlehelicopterscannot. Evenif you hitthe, the rotor,andespeciallythe tailrotor,you hit thetail rotorandthat thingcancrashanyplace. Butagain,Maneleis fine...givethemthe experience.IftheycannotlandattheLanai Airport,letthemlandatManele.ButIwouldprefer not to havethemlandat Koele. Thankyouverymuch.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Any othertestifiersatthistime? Dave? Go rightahead. Hejumped rightup.

Mr.Pat Reilly:I canonly standso long. PatReilly.As you knowI’vesat inyour position.I’m wondering ifadealcanbecuthere. Myfirstquestionwouldbehowlongdoyouhaveto make thisdecision?Howmanydays?Whenisthat? Secondly,I’mkindofshowme. Why don’tyou havea field trip. Why don’tyouhavea helicopter comein. Whydon’tyouhaveinstruments thatmeasurethe sound. Just,just dothat. Youknow,we can sithereall nightandtalkabout graphs,charts. I don’tknowif theapplicantiswilling. Splittheapplicationinhalf. Myreaction basicallyisyouhavestrongsupportfor theManeleone. Idon’thearhardlyanyof--. Butyou, in myown heart -- samedeal withKoele-- there is moreto Koelethan noise. It’sa special place. I mean,I don’tcare. Somebody--. I thought--. Whatdoes Koelemean? Doesn’tit meanmist or somethinglike that? Mist? Well,it gets real mistyup there. That meansit couldn’tlandthere.

Sowhat I’msayingto you guysis maybeyoucancuta dealhere. Cuttheapplicationin half. Get theone done.Let it go on,youknowand -- to me,I’dhaveafieldtrip. AndI’dsay,you fly in a helicopterbecauseIwantto bethere,upatKoeleorsomewhere.I don’tcareif I’mat the landingpad. I wantto hearthe noiseawayfromit. Mysuggestion.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Dave?

Mr. Green: Dave Green, Lanai resident. I’m also presidentof the Manele Homeowners Association.We havediscussedthiswitha numberof our homeowners.We, interestingly, havea numberofthemon islandfor thelastseveralweeks. Wehadsomequestions,butthe residents,I think,arecomfortablewith theconditionsthat havebeenplacedon this.I guess

I’manoptimist.Ifigureoutthat ifahelicoptergoesupintheair,it’snotgoingto crash.I mean, youcan’t makedecisionsbasedondoomsdaypresentation,or dooms dayeventualities.You Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page36 APPROVED 07-20-2016 haveto beawareof that,butthe chancesof thatareveryslim.

Anyway,the ManeleHomeowners AssociationBoardas wellasthe -- allofthe residentsthat we’ve talkedto arein support.Again,we understandthereis a corridorthattheflightsthatwill comeinandleaveby. Theydonot comenearourhomes.I live ontheverywesternpartof the

--of theManeleProjectDistrict.Ileavemywindowsopenat night. Idon’tuseair-conditioning, andI don’tthinkthe soundis goingto bea problem.

I alsoagreethat probablythe vastmajorityof theflightsaregoingto bedownat Manele.The

pricepointof thehotelsaregoing tobedifferent,and --. But Iwouldalsosupportthe factthat there shouldbe some timelimitationsespeciallyat Koele.

And I think,IthinkPat madea goodsuggestion.Youdon’thaveperhapssomekey datathat

wouldbegoodto haveas it relatesto Koele. Lynnwon’tbe happyfor sayingthat, butI think Manelewe havenoissueswhatsoever.Thedriverof the hotel.Thehotelisthe driverof the economiclifeon theisland. All the businesses,everybody-- everybodybenefitsif the hotel doeswell downat Manele.And if thereare peoplethatarewillingto payfor a helicopterride becausetheydon’twanttowait, morepowertothem,and themoneywillbehereonLanai, and itwill benefitall of us.Weunderstandthatit wouldbea unique competitiveadvantageatleast at this pointin time. And if helps bringspeoplein, it’s all, morethe better. Thankyouvery

much. I appreciatethe chanceto testify.

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Anylasttestifiers?Myles? AndthenAuntyWinnie.

Mr. Saruwatari:Myles Saruwatari. Thank you for hearing me out. I was watchingthe

presentationand I havesomeissueswith someof the languageused. One thingthat was mentioned wasadverseeffectsonsurrounding community.What--now,whatdoesthatmean?

I lookatit differentlyfromwhoeverwrotethat. Theywill lookat it differentthansomebodywho livesat Iwiole. Thatis,youknow,thereis going tobediscrepancy.Justbecause youlive on Maui,yeah,it’s not goingto impactyouadverselybecauseyou livein Maui. Butsomebodyat

Ms.Gima:Thankyou. Winnie?Anyyou’llbeourlasttestifierat thistime. This commission, commissionersneedto start askingquestionsanddiscussing.

Ms.Basques:Thankyouagain. WinnieBasques.Youfolksdida goodjob. Youdidallyour Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page37 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.Gima:Thankyou.Sorryuncle, we gotta,wegottacloseit becausewe gottagetonto our

discussionor elsewe’ll be hereall night. Commissioners,I knowmanyof you havemany questions.Bev?

Ms.Zigmond: MadameChair? I wouldliketo.. remindall the commissionerswhowere here backin Novemberor Decemberthatatthattimewewereplacedinfrontofus...wewereplaced infrontofusa letterfromaManeleresidentwhoadamantly opposes.So I’mnot sureif,Dave, youmissedthatoneor not,butit wasMs.BonitaChurney. Anditwasjust putonourtableand

so it wasneverintothe record,and I’mnot goingto readthe entirething. ButI do -- andI’m

speaking,I’mspeaking-- but I dowantto say thatsheis adamantlyopposed,andI havethis recordhere,this letterifyouallwantto seeit atsomeothertime. Again,it was givento us,but therewasno mentionofwhatit is.

ThenextthingI wouldliketo say is thatthe 1998LanaiCommunityPlanis still in effect. And Medigaleyou may notknowthis ormaybeyoudo, butthe communityplaniswhatguidesus ineverythingthatwedo. And page53oftheLanai CommunityPlanwhichisstillineffectsays:

“Prohibitaircraft flightpatterns overLanai Cityas a meansof noisemitigation.”

It also says:

“Identifyand implementother aircraftnoisemitigationmeasuressuch as the prohibitionof latenightaircraftoperations.”

Soalreadyit’ssaying thatwe shouldn’tbedoing this.Iwouldhave tosay thatI believe there’s a reallydifferentperspectiveoutthereonwhat is a significant,detrimentalimpactas wellas

whatareunusualconditions.I don’t thinkthefactthat --. I’mnotevengoingto gothere.

Oneofthethings thatI wantto pointout is inthebinderonpage10. Therewas concernfrom Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page38 APPROVED 07-20-2016 the Maneleresidentsand thenitsaid,okay,wecando--just don’tdo between11:00 p.m.and

5:00a.m. AndI quote thisnextpart,as PulamaLanaibelievesthattheselatenightflightswill basicallynon existent,the applicantwould prefer to institute this if multiplenight flights commence onceoperationalandrespondaccordinglyto theowners.WellI thinkthat’skindof absurdto do somethingafterthefact. It waslikeonetimesome community membersaidto thecommissionerswelljustapprovethatandthenyou canputconditionsonitlater. So,Ithink

that’sthesamemindset there,andI thinkit’s pretty absurd.

NowI havea question.TheDOTsaidthat...ifthiswasnotoperationalbySeptember13th, that someotherthingswouldhaveto happen. Theywould haveto reapplyor do something. In other words, this, this...thisgo aheadfrom them is only throughSeptember13th~ So my questionto the applicantiswhendo youanticipatecommencingoperations?

Ms.Gima:Beforeyoubegin,Lynn,I’mgoingto askeveryonein theaudienceandoutsideto pleasekeepyourguysconversationsdowntoaminimalplease. Thecommissionershavebeen verypatient withlisteningto allofyoutonight,andhearingallofyourtestimonies,sopleasedo the sameaswe are,youknow,tryingto havethisdiscussion. Thankyou.

Ms.McCrory:LynnMcCrory,PulamaLanai. DOT’sletterwasstatingthatwedonot -- theydo not requireusto getanyStatepermitsin order forthe helistopsto operate. There’snoState permitsneeded. Thatwastheintentoftheirletter. I’m notsurewhatthe l3~~was.

Ms.Zigmond:I’llfindthat for you. And in the mean time,I needto askanotherquestion.So we’veheardthatbothManeleandKoelehomeownerswerenoticed with registeredletters.I’ve heard thatsomepeopleuponthe hillalsoreceiveda letter. So myquestionis whywerethe residentsat Iwiole,the Quads, Hawaiian Homelands,or even myselfwho lives prettydarn close,whyweren’twe giventhatsamenotice?

Ms. McCrory:The notice— LynnMcCrory, PulamaLanai -- the noticesgo out to everyone within500feetof that property.Myguessis it goesto -- not myguess-- it goestothe owner of theproperty.

Ms.Zigmond:Okay,sowe havea precedenthere,Lynn. Whenyou camebeforeusfor the recyclingcenter,and you allsent the letterof noticeto the ownerof HaleKapuna,andthe ownerof the Courts. We objectedandwe deferredour decisionuntil thepeople whowere residentsthere who would be affectedwere noticed. And I’m askingthat the samething happenhere.

Ms.McCrory:You’reright. Wedidsaythat, andwedidsay wedidit,we’ddothat. Wedidnot,

so I agree. Ijust got this.It’snot StateDOT,it’sthe FAA. Sowejust haveto go backinand sayyeswe are intendingto do that and theywill issueanotherone. So it shouldnot be an issue.

Ms. Zigmond:So myquestioniswhendo youplanto beoperational? Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page39 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.McCrory:We haveyetto haveapprovalfrom thisCommission,andthen wehaveto goto CountyCouncil.AndmybestestimateatCountyCouncilwouldbeayear. There’satleastfour meetingsthatwillhavetogothrough.Anddependingonwhethertheymakea decisionornot.

Sofor me,I useCouncilapprovalas oneyearoftime. Thenit’sconstructionandthenthat’s anotheryear. Sowe areat leastprobablytwoplusyearsaway.

Ms.Zigmond: Thankyoufor thatanswer.AndonceagainIfirmlybelievethattheresidentsof lwiole, theCourts,andHawaiianHomelandsneedsto benoticed.

Ms.Gima:Olopua. Beverly,Olopuatoo.

Ms.Zigmond: Olopua.Absolutely.Andthen231CaldwellAvenueas a matterof fact.

Ms.Gima:Lynn,I wouldsuggestyoutakea seatupclosebecausethere’sgoingto bea lotof questions comingyour way.Thereisanextramicifyouwouldn’t wantto -- it wouldbeeasier.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:Myquestionis whowill bemonitoringthe 12flightspermonth?

Ms.McCrory:LynnMcCrory, PulamaLanai. We will.And we’llbemonitoringin sucha way that an exampleof windsockor anyof the navigationalaidswill not be left onsite. So when we’reinformedthata flightis comingin,we will theninformFourSeasonsas to the timethe flightis estimatedto bethere. Wewill thensendsomeoneoutto actuallyputthe navigational aids in place. Andthen afterthat, that countsas one. So we’ll be monitoringbothputting everythingout,takingeverythingbackandthe count.

Ms.Koanui Nefalar:Thatgoesto my —

Ms.Gima:I wasgoingto kindof piggybackon thatwitha fewquestions.Sois it FAAwho’s regulatingthatyoucannotexceed12flights? Istherea regulationin placefor that?

Ms.McCrory:No,it’sours.

Ms.Gima:Sothat couldbechangedwithouthavingto notify?

Ms.McCrory:No,no, no.

Ms.Gima:No?

Ms.McCrory:If,ifwe’resayingthatwewillonlydo 12round tripflightsper month forbothsites, we can’tchange thatwithoutcomingbackto you.

Ms.Gima:Okay.

Ms.McCrory:Thisisa fiveyearpermit.We’relookingto seedoesit makea difference?Does -- do peopleevenuseit? If we find thattheyaren’t,we’renotgoingto renewit or we’ll-- we Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes—April20, 2016 Page40 APPROVED 07-20-2016

won’teven lookat makingit permanentbecausewe would haveto do permanentby going throughLandUseCommission. We’renotsure.

Ms.Gima:Sothis is basicallywhatI’mhearinglikea trial runfor five years.

Ms.McCrory:Yes,thisthe five years. And,Imean,Iwouldsaytoyouprobablyifwedon’thave anyone comingintwo years even,we’redone. Becauseobviouslythis is notsomethingthat is workingand makesanysense.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar: Nextquestion washow will--like, what’sthe processof a guestwanting to helicopterin? Dotheycontactwhenthey makereservationsfor thehotel? Dotheycontact Pulama? Who-- what’sthe wholeprocess,the wholeprocess?

Ms.McCrory:Let’s,let’s .. .LarryEllison andfriends,he just makeshis contactsandtells us whatheneeds. FortheFourSeasons,therequestwouldhaveto comefromFourSeasonsto us becausetheywouldhaveto bea guestsatoneofthe Four Seasons.Andtheywouldthen sayto uswe haveguestscomingintoKahulul,andthey wanttobepickedupbythehelicopter andshould arrivethere. Theywill probably makethehelicopter arrangementsforthem. Ifnot, theguestscould makethearrangements.But,again,theseareprivatesotheyaren’ta matter whereany helicopter companythatjust decidestheywantto comein can landon it. They

cannot.Itis private.Itis 12flightsroundtrip. Andbyroundtrip,I mean,youcomein,youdrop the guestsoff,you leave. One. So if let’ssaythe guests who’sstayingat Manele Hotel or KoeleHoteldecidesthattheywantto leavebecausethewaytheywouldhavegettotheirflight wouldendupthemsitting,let’ssay,atMauior Honolulufor afewhours. Wheretheycouldsay,

I wantthe helicopterto takeme in so I’mtherean hourandhalfin advanceor somethinglike that. Thenat that point,FourSeasonswouldnotifyus,andwewouldgo forwardwithsetting it upso thatcould occur.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:So...if,if aguestiscomingin,becauseof TSAandalltheFederalsecurity, how would their luggage comein on a commercialflight to the airport insteadof on the helicopter?

Ms.McCrory: Theywouldcomein...theirluggagewouldcomewith themonthe helicopter.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:Oh,IthoughtI heardearliertheirluggagewasnot -- itwasgoingtocome throughfrom theairport.

Ms.McCrory:No. No,thatwasoneof thesuggestionsofsomeone.IthinkDebbiedidthatone whereif youwantedto reduce timeat,let’ssay,Koele helistop,youcoulddroptheluggageat the airport. Thatwas it. Butit would comeinwiththem.

Ms.Koanui Nefalar:Anotherquestion,maybefor Planning Department.Isthisthewayit’sset up,it’stogether,Maneleand Koele,is it, is it -- aretheyableto separateit? And ifso,what’s the process? Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20,2016 Page41 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Mr.Yoshida:I guesstheycouldhavespecificconditionsfor. ..thehelistopinManele orKoele. Sayif theywantedto restrictthe hoursor...

Ms.Koanui Nefalar:WhatI meanlikeif...ifthewayit’ssetupnow,if wewere,for instance,to approveone--. Areweableto approveoneanddenyanother?It’srightnow,for location,it’s, the wayit’s set upnow,it’stogether.

Mr.Wollenhaupt:A coupleof things.No.I youhaveyourStateLandUseCommissionSpecial UsePermitsothiswouldbethebodythat’smakingthedecisionsonthat. Thatactuallykeeps conditionsput on in house,if youwill. TheConditionalPermit, then,of course,movesto the County Council. So what we’ve seen say weddingsin agricultureon Maui is that the Commissionoftentimesputconditionsonit. Theywantto behandlingwithouthavingto goto Councilonthe StateLandUseCommissionSpecialPermit.

Nowto yourquestion,we mightneedto haveoureminentCorporation Counselspeakto this. It would be deemed were you could sayyou only wishnow to approve or makea recommendationof approvalon the Manelesite. That would be a lesser impactthan the

proposalfor two sites.So I don’tbelievethattherewouldbea problem if youwereto define whatyouexactlyyouwereapprovingifthatdefinitionwaslessintensethanwhatwasnoticed. ButCorporation Counselwouldhaveto weighin on that.

Ms.Thomson:Iagree. Yes,Ithinkthatifyouwere--if theCommissionwas inclinedto approve onelocationanddeny another,orpotentiallyevendefertaking actiononthat second,onKoele,

if youneededmoreinformationor, you know,thingslike that,I thinkthat youcoulddo that.

That’sa littlemoreawkward,but I thinkthat you can make thedecisionthatyouwanted,so yeah.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar: And,I don’t knowif it’sjusta --what mylastcommentis-- youknow when youhearda lot aboutbringingin tourism,helicoptersis onlygoingto be, like,what,six,five peopleat themost. That’snota majorimpact.Andanotheroneis EllisonhadIslandAir, and hesoldit. Well,hesold majorityshares. Hecould havekeptthat. Nowhe -- rightwhenthe hotel openson February15t; March30k”theyclosedandleaveLanai,that’skindof ridiculous.

Youknow,if-- I canseeif theplanes, youknow,mightnotbeas luxuriousas maybeasthese peopleareaccustomedto. Hecould’vechangethat. Hespentso muchmoneyonthe hotel. He could’vegot betterplanes,you know. He could’veprivatizedit. He could have done whateverhewantedwith it. Now wehaveone airlinethatservicesthewholeislandincluding

residents.That was nota goodbusiness decision,in my eyes. I mean,I’mnot a business person,but,you know,just lookingat it, with huntingseason comingin, graduation coming, there’slikea hugeimpactwhen that airlineleft. So,thatwas mycomment.

Ms.McCrory:Didyouwantan answer?

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:If youwantandif thereis anyanswer,but —

Ms.McCrory: Okay.Answer,yeah. Letmegive yousomeof the pieces. IslandAir, I think, Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page42 APPROVED 07-20-2016 was losing$28 millioneveryyear. That’sa lotof moneygoingout intosomethingthat really wasn’tsuccessfulbyanystretchof animagination.Helookedatthatandjustsaid,youknow, all I’mgoingto do is keep losing money.What-- andthat’s whyhesold thepiecethat hesold becauseitwasn’tmakingmoneynomatterwhattheytriedto doas anairline,itdidn’twork. So hesoldit to local people,whosofarseemedto bemakinga goof it. Nowwhatthedifference is, I don’tknowbecause obviouslywe don’thaveanyconnectionwiththatentity.

I cantell youthat one of our concernsfor havingOhana wasbeingsuretherewereenough flights. And sowe’ve decidedand havegoneaheadand aresubsidizingoneadditionalflight thatwill becomingintoLanaiin May. I believeitstartsonthe 16t~. Andthat’sto besurethere

areenoughflights. Idon’tknowifyou’vebeenonany,but I’vebeenonandthere’s barelyany

seats open.I meanotherthan the6:00a.m.flightwhichis nota lot of fun to beginwith,but that,that’sthereason.Itwasaconsistentlossfromthepointthathehadit. Itnever,ever,ever mademoney. So if you’vegot $28 millioneveryyearfor threeyears...youknow,obviously that’snotthe businessheshouldbe in.

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:Yeah,I thinkwhat -- I meanI notgoingtell Mr.Ellisonwhattodo, but,you

know,maybea changeof managementcompany,changein personnel. I knowthe workers overhereonlymade $8.00an hour. So youknowhow —

Ms.Gima:Stacie,canI just saysomethingreallyquickly?

Ms.KoanuiNefalar: Yeah.

Ms. Gima: I mean,I seewhatyou’resaying aboutIslandAir, but I mean,I don’tknowhow relevantit is in the sensethat —

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:It’sabout travelandabout—

Ms.Gima:Okay. I mean,it soundslikeIslandAir servesthe community.Theseflightsaren’t evennowhere servicing—

Ms.KoanuiNefalar:Well, it was one year with no hotel,so yeah. My concern waswe lost controlof anextratransportationforce,you know,with ifyou’re bringinginyourtourists.That wasmyconcern.

Ms.Gima: Lynn,I hada few questions.I, I’mcompletely confusedwithsomeof thiswording: occasional,basically,anticipated.You knowthere’snodefinite,youknow,definitionhere. You we’regoingto haveoccasionalnightflights.What’soccasional?Youknow?Wheretheflight frequencyisanticipatedtovarybetweenKoeleandManele.Andthen...inthe,intheapplication

thatwe havenowhere-- andcorrectmeif I’mwrongCommissioners-- I sawnowherein here thatthe 12flightsaregoingto becombined,KoeleandManele. However,inthepresentation thatwasverydifferent,sotherearesomeconfusion withhowthingsarebeing,one,presented andworded. Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page43 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.McCrory:Okay. Wecameupwiththatphrasingforthe 12flights,roundtrip,combinedto makesureitwasasclearaswecouldgetit,andwewent through thatmultipletimes. Sowhat yousaw,whatyouheard,that’s, that’s theverbiage.NowI’mtryingto rememberwhatelseyou askedme andI startedwith thelastone.

Ms.Gima:Occasionalnight flights.

Ms. McCrory: Occasional.Oneof the reasonthat -- oneof thingsthat I didwasto go back throughall of theairlinescomingin HonoluluandKahulul,anysaywhendothey arrive.What time? You know,is it possiblethat it couldbe later. Thereare two flightsthat come into Honolulu, nothinginto Kahului. And one comes in from L.A. and one comesin from San Francisco,anditarrivesat 10o’clockor 10minutesafter10. That’sit. Sothewordoccasional comesfromthat. Do I anticipatenightflights? Honestly,no I don’t. It doesn’treallymakea wholelotof sensethatwe’regoingto get peoplecominginonthoselateflightsthatthenwant to take a helicopterover. Because most peoplecomein that latetheyjust geta hotelroom. Andif they’regoingto travel, they travelthe nextday.

Ms.Gima:SoIhavea questionfor CorpCounselandthe PlanningDepartment,andIthinkBay statedinthebeginningthat,youknow,our1998CommunityPlanisstillineffectwhichprohibits night flightscompletely.So,if thatapplicantis wantingto do any typeof night flightsdo they haveto do a CommunityPlanAmendment?

Ms. Thomson~ inaudible).., butneitheroneofthesetypesofpermits,a Conditional Permit or SpecialUsePermit,requireconsistency withtheCommunityPlan.Asfarasnightflightsand time limits,you canset those in the permit. So if the Commissionwantsto approvethis, approvethe Special Permitwithconditions,thoseconsiderationscouldbeconditionssuchas nofly overthe cityand,youknow,a distancefromthe perimeter,etcetera.

Ms.Gima:I understandthatwecanputconditions.Ijustwanted some clarificationif,just like thethreeLanai Avenue Homes,theyhad todoa CommunityPlanAmendment.Andsoyou’re, if I’m -- Iwantto makesureI’mclarifyingthisonthe recordthatI’mhearing correctly-- you’re saying thatthese permits don’thave tojive at allwiththe CommunityPlan.

Ms.Thomson:TheCommunityPlanis somethingthatyouwouldconsiderwhen you’relooking ataSpecialPermit.Oneof,oneofthecriteria fora Special Permitisthatthedesired usewould notadverselyaffectthesurroundingproperty,wouldnotunreasonablyburdenpublic agencies. So you’relookingthroughthis, as far as havingstrict consistencywitha CommunityPlan,if these permitsdon’trequirethat. Clayton,didyouhaveanythingto add toit?

Ms. Gima:And, and -- sorry Clayton, holdon a second-- strictconsistency,whatdoesthat mean,strictconsistency?

Ms.Thomson:Forexamplewhenyouhavea SpecialUse-- whenyouhavea -- sorry,Special Management AreaPermit,there are certain typesof permits that requireyou to be -- they requiretheprojectto beconsistentwiththeCommunityPlan. The reasonthatthe threeLanai Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page44 APPROVED 07-20-2016 houseshad to be, had to haveCommunityPlanAmendmentis that a Changein Zoning requiresthat. So it’sthe differencein thewaysthelawsareapplied.

Ms.Zigmond:ButI stillthinkthatthe CommunityPlanguidesuswith everythingthatwe door whydothe heckdowe haveit?

Ms.Gima:Commissioners-- I mean. .. (inaudible)... I’mstilltryingto processthis,so if any of youhaveanyotherquestions.

Ms.Zigmond:Oneotherquickquestion fortheapplicant.So in the binderI thinkitwasthere was a photocopiedpageof a catalogwith lightson. Haveyou gotten anyfurtheron which lighting you’regoingto use?

Ms.Gima:Bev,is thatthe seabirdlighting?

Ms. McCrory:Everything would haveto be in conformance,so that there isn’tan issuewith seabirdlighting. Andthatwouldbe,youknow,youwouldbeputting-- if youhada night flight, youwouldtakeyourlightsoutto thesitewithyou...andtheyjust can’t shineupwards.Soall we coulddo is shineon to the pathway,onto thediametercircleiswhatwewouldbedoing.

Also,just,just onemore pointin responsetowhatBevsaid. Theseflights won’tbeflying over the city. FAAregulationsrequiresa 1,500foot altitude minimumoverthecity,andthen 500 whereit’s not. And by city,theymeanLanai Cityandthey meanManele.They’reshownon FAAmaps. They’re very clearlyindicated thiscannotbeflying overthe city.

Mr.Oshiro:I get your landingandtake off,theygoingfromwest to east. That’stheway it’s shown...onKoele,excuseme,upatKoele,westtoeastandthat’swiththe tradewinds,right?

Ms.McCrory:Yes.

Mr.Oshiro:Like mostpeople thatliveon Lanaiknowthat we oftenget foggedin. That’sno brainertherebecausejust lastweekwe hadfog thatrolledin. Arethey gonna tryto land? Inclimateweathertoo, arethey gonna tryto landduringthattime?

Ms. McCrory:No. And that’sone of the reasonfor someonewho will be the person,point person,on PulamaLanaiforthat. Theyhaveto makethe callwhetheror nottheflightshould

comein. I mean,someonehas tomakethatcall, andit hasto besomeonehere doingthat.

Mr.Oshiro:Justa thought. I don’t knowif-- youweren’therewhen theydidthefilming. They dida movieoverhere,theydida filming,andtheywereherefor abouta weekor so. Andthey

usedthatstable,abovethe stable,theyusedthatastheirlandingpad, andI guesstheywere,

(inaudible).. . outof Koele.Andduringthattimetheyflewbackandforth, you know.And

duringtheevening,theyflewbackand forth,andthatwas really, reallyirritating.I mean,not to haveany noise. Rightnowyou listenall you hearis the car driving. Butthen to havea

helicopterflyingbackandforth, I mean,evenif theycometwoor threetimesin a month,it’s Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page45 APPROVED 07-20-2016 somethingthatwe, as residents, don’thear becausetheflightpatternsis away fromthe city, it’s downat the airport. So,you know --. Andthentwo, if the windsturn Kona,right,north south,aretheystillgonnalandeast,land eastwest,takeofflandeast westorthey not coming in atall? Because theygonna haveto go overthe citythen right?No?

Ms.McCrory: Theyaren’t allowedoverthe city.I mean,they’renot allowed.

Mr. Oshiro:Theynotflyingduring, duringKonawind?

Ms.McCrory: Thatmaybeexactly whatthe situationis.

Mr. Oshiro:Samethinghappeneddownat Manele?

Ms.McCrory:It could happenat Manele also,yes.

Mr.Oshiro:BecauseKonawinds comesnorthsouth. Soyou,youeithercomeinwith the,with the waythe windsblowing,right? Justquestionsorjust commentsat you,yeah.

Ms.McCrory:Itwouldhaveto...itwouldhaveto besafe. Morethananythingyouhaveto have a safetyfactorthatthereisn’tgoingto be a helicoptercrashingon you. Soyes,youhaveto considerall of those.

Ms.Gima:Andthena piggyback reallyquicklyif youdon’tmindoffof thelandingandtakeoff. Whatis theturnaround timefromwhena helicopterlandsto thentakingoff?

Ms. McCrory:It is as fast as discharging passengers.And if there’sanyto go backonthat particularflightto an airport,loadingthem. That’sit. Theyarenotto besittingonthatstop.

Ms.Gima:BecauseI thinkAlbertatestifiedandI mean,I don’tknowif that’s trueor notabout it beinga 15minutelimit. Ididn’tsee thatinthe application.Or shementionedaboutthatthe enginecan’tstayonwhen —

Ms.McCrory:It cannotstayon. It cannot.

Ms.Gima: Okay.

Ms. McCrory:So the intentis to dropthem off, orif they’rejust leaving,pickthemup. That simple.

Mr. Oshiro:Again,duringtake off and landing,especiallyon takeoff becauseyou probably goingupto the east.Are yougoingto be-- I’monlytalkingaboutKoele-- areyougoing-- are theygonnablockthe road,KeamokuHighway?

Ms. McCrory:They did not feel that neededto be blockedwith the trafficstudiesthat we recentlyhad done for SportingClays. They did not feel. The constructionroad mustbe Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page46 APPROVED 07-20-2016 blocked.That’s partof FAA. Theydidn’tfeelthattheKeamokuRoadneededto be. It canbe somethingwe do.

Mr.Oshiro:Okay. Andthentheguestscominginfrom Manele usingthatnurseryarea. They all goingbegoingoutthe samewaythey camedownthe ManeleHighwayright? That’show youbringingin the guestsbackto the hotel, right?

Ms.McCrory:No,theguestswouldbecomingdownHulopoewhichisbasicallytheconstruction road. Because they’regoingto finishgoingdownandthenintoManele.

Mr.Oshiro:But isthe constructionroad-- rememberI broughtthis upa longtimeago,about the constructionroadbeinghazardous.

Ms.McCrory:Yes.

Mr.Oshiro:So youguys doingsomethingto repairthat?

Ms.McCrory:It hasbeen-- it hasbeencompletelypaved.

Mr. Oshiro:I’d liketo seethatroad,youknow, before,pretty muchbeforeI evenvoteonthis becauselike —

Ms.Gima:. .. (inaudible).

Mr.Oshiro:No. Remember,Conrad died,yeah,okay. ButwhatI’msayingiswhenwewere

allowedtogoupanddown-- I usedtowalkupanddownthatroad--therewasnorunoff. Now

thereis? Okay. Ijust wantto sayI’d liketo seeit because nobodyis allowedto godownthat

road. Iwouldlike,youknow,Iwouldlike,beforeI evenvote,Iwouldliketo seeif thatroadwas

reallyrepairedbecauselike I saidif happensagain,Pulamawouldbein for a bigsuityeah?

Ms.McCrory:I cantell youthatit wasrepaired. Itwascompletelypavedexceptfor onearea whichwas in front ofwherethe concrete crushingarea is andthenthatwas re-paved. The truckrunawayramp,just to giveyoua cost,it cost$980,000wasbuilt. Sothatwas putin. It wasdesigned. Itwas laidout. It’sthere. Thatwasa requirementfromthe roomrenovation permit,so,yes,it’s in place,it’sfunctional.

Ms.Gima:It is. I seenit whenI hadto reroutefromwhentherewasa fire. I hadto go up on the privateroad. Yeah.

Mr.Oshiro:ThankyouLynn.

Ms.Gima:Clayton?

Mr. Yoshida:I guesswith respectto CommissionerGima’s earlierquestionregardingthe CommunityPlanandthe prior application.Itwasrequired becausefor theChangeofZoning, Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page47 APPROVED 07-20-2016 undercriteriano. 2, the proposedrequestis consistentwith the applicableCommunityPlan LandUsemapof theCounty. Socurrentlyit’sBusinessCommercial,theCommunityPlanfor the threehousesproperty.So in orderto have singlefamilyresidentialdevelopment—

Ms.Gima:We understandthat.

Mr.Yoshida:Nowfor the -- at thecurrentapplicationsarefor a LandUseSpecialPermitand a Conditional Permit.There’snotthatcriteriaregardinga CommunityPlanlikethereisforthe Changein Zoning.

Ms.Gima:GoaheadLynn.

Ms. McCrory:I thinkwe’veheard thatthere’s greatconcernin regardsto Koele,and I think there’sa numberofpiecesthatwe shouldlookat andmaybe evenrelocateif wedecideto go

ahead. ButI wouldask thatyougoforwardwithapproving ManeleanddeferKoele,andwe

willthen takebackallthecomments.I knowI’vewrittena numberdown,Karlynnhasawritten a numberdown,andlet ustakea look,and thenwe’ll eitherwithdrawtheapplicationfor Koele or wewill present alternativesincludingsitevisits.

Ms. Zigmond: MadameChair,if you are going to be askingus for discussionon this, I’m

adamantlyopposedto eitherone. Having saidthat...withcertainconditionsI wouldconsider votingfor Manele,but absolutely, positivelynowayfor Koele. Notevenif all the Iwioleand HawaiianHomelandsandme andeverybodyelsein the areagets noticedwhichthey should havebeen. I’madamantlyopposedto that, period.

Ms.Gima:I haven’theardfrom thissideof the commissioners.PleaseaskwhileLynn’sstill here. Askthe questions.

Mr. Ferguson:Okay,my, my questionon for the Koelesitewas you haveone sectionthat showingtheflightplan,theflightroute,yeah,theapproach,butit’s notexpandedenoughto see the city. Andthenthe mapthatyoudo show thecityis oneold mapthat’snot evenshowing HawaiianHomes houses.Soit’snoteven,it’s noteveninthepicture.Younosee--right now it lookslikejust vacantland, butthere’sactuallyhousesthere.

Ms.McCrory:I can tellyouthat HawaiianHomelandswasoneof theagencies thatwassent theentireapplication. They respondedandaskedusto sendanadditionalmap,whichwedid,

whichthenshowedtheflightpathnot even closeto theirs. Andthentheysubmitteda -- Ithink thatwastheonlything. Oncewe submittedthat, wedid nothearbackfromthem.

Mr. Ferguson:Okay. Andjust to, likehowwhatBradwas saying when theydidthe filminga coupleyears back,you know, the...they told the community thatthe helicopterswon’t be

buzzingthe city,but I liveat Hawaiian Homesatverybottom,at theverycornerbythegulch

soI amtheturningpoint. Sothey,they buzzthefield,andright whentheyreachthegulchthey hunga rightandwhenstraightupto the stables.Andright wheretheyhung theright,itwoke

theykepttheirbuffer, but the noise wasstillenoughtowakeme up.Andthat’swhatI was, you know, tryingto figureout. Thenoiseis loud. Thewindcomes down.Evenafterit passedme, as it waslanding,I couldstill hearit downat the bottomof the city.

Ms.McCrory:That’sanotherreasonto deferat Koele. We needto eithertakea lookandsee whereelsewe’regoingto doit, ifwe’re goingto doit. Ijustdon’tthinkat thispointitmakes any senseto try to do...tryto evenmoveforwardonthat.

Ms.Gima:Okay. I’m-- Iwanttotakethispiecebypiecebecause that’s whereit’sgoing.Ithink we needto look at Manele, weneedto comeup with conditions. So I’mrightnowgoingto make the motionto deny the-- boththis --is it the State LandUseCommissionSpecialUse Permitfor Koele. And thenmakea recommendation forthe ConditionalPermitto County Councilfor themto denythe permitfor Koele.

Ms.Zigmond:Second.

Ms.Gima:So I madethe motion, Bevsecond,is thereany discussion,anyquestionsby the commissionersbefore wevote?

Mr.Ferguson:I wantto askCounselI shouldjust continuerecusemyself.

Ms. Thomson:Thank you, yeah, if Lanai Builderswould be the companythat would be constructing thenyoushouldrecuse yourself.

Mr.Ferguson:I’macarpenter,so Idon’tknowhowmuchIgoingbeworkingonthehelipad,but,

youknow,buttheymightpullthe permit,but,youknow,asa general,butI don’t knowif I’llget carpentryworkoutof onehelipad.

Ms.Thomson:Rightthat is a goodquestion. Inthat casewhat you wouldneedto decideis whetheryoufeelthatyoudo nothavea directfinancialinterestinthisparticularapplicationso thatyou canvote. You coulddecidethatyoudoandthenrecuseyourself,oryoucanrequest deferraland then get a Boardof Ethicsopinion. So thoseare your choices,butfrom what you’redescribing,it doesn’tsoundas directas a buildingprojectwhereyou’dbe actually employedon the project.

Ms.Gima:Are youchoosingto recuseyourself?

Mr. Ferguson:I thinkI can,I canvoteonthis.

Ms.Gima:Okay. Okay.Any otherdiscussionbeforewevote? Okay,allinfavorofthemotion -- andagain thisisspecificallyfor denying for Koele-- raiseyourhand. One,two,three,four, five,six;that’sunanimous.

Nowwe need tolookat Manele. I thinkI’veheard quitea bitfromthe communityand alsofrom readingsomecertainlettersthatit was moreof the issuewith Koele, notas much withManele,but I’vealso heardand readthat,you know, wantingto havesomeconditionsin place.

Ms.Zigmond:Madame Chair?SomethingsI thinkaboutare -- just in caseIwin a lotteryand

I getto buya terraceat Manele-- I wouldn’twantthe lightsor the sound between,youknow,

7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. And I would like emergencyvehiclesto havefirst and always precedent thereso that if an emergencyhappensfor anybody-- guests, visitors,locals, anybody-- thatthatwouldbeavailable.

Ms.Gima:Yeah,I thinkthat -- I mean,Lynnyou heardthatquitea fewtimestonight. I think peoplerealizeif there’san emergencydownat Manele,the timeto get theambulancedown there,get backupto thecityandthenpossiblyto theairportto medivac,pretty criticalamount of time. Wasthisdiscussedat anytime?

Ms.McCrory:Yes,wetook -- LynnMcCrory-- wetooktheopportunityto talktoTed,who’sthe medicherefor that,and his answerwas we reallydon’twant yourhelicoptertakinganyone anywhere.Thehelicoptershouldbemedically equippedandwithpersonnelthatcansaveyour life andnotdo damageto you.

Ms.McCrory:Theyhaveour permission.

Ms.Gima: Okay.

Ms.McCrory: Anywhereonthe island,to land,for a medicalemergency.

Ms.Gima:Commissioners,anyotherquestionsfortheapplicant?Now,again,we’re justagain, Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page50 APPROVED 07-20-2016 lookingspecificallyat Manele.Anydiscussionspecifically aboutany conditions?SoBev,did thatansweryourquestion?Itdoesn’tsoundlikethereneedsto beaconditionbecausePulama hasgiventherightofentryto,foranywhere.Isthereanyother conditions?Yourecommended noflights between7:00p.m. and7:00a.m.

Ms. Zigmond:And I’m thinkingagainof our local population whomightbe campingon the beachor somethinglikethatto stilltry to protect whatwe knowandloveaboutLanai.

Mr.Oshiro: Theonethat,youknow,Ibrought,I mentionedthiswasKona winds, yeah.I don’t know. Youguysprettymuchgottafindoutif youcanbecause,you know,you goingbeflying overtheresidential to...tolandonsouthwinds,or cominginfrom,takingoffbecauseyougoing over residential.Unlessyouguysnot -- youdon’tcarewhichwaythewind blows.

Ms.McCrory:It has tobesafeforthehelicopterto land, so,youknow,if it’snot,theyshouldn’t be landing. Orthey landit overat LanaiAirportwherethey cancomein at anydirection.

Ms.Thomson:Onethingto considerisjust to clarifythatthe requestis for 12 roundtripsper month. So I’mjust makingsurethatthat’swhatyou’reconsidering.

Ms.Gima:Andtheslidethatwas presentedtonightit showsthatyouguysalreadyhavespecific conditionsfromthe FAA...as long asyouhavethat,their approval, correct?

Ms.McCrory:Yes.

Ms. Gima: The minimumflight restrictionof the 1,500feet...inthis case,it wouldbe around Manele,and500elsewhere;alloperationsconductedinVisualFlightRulesweatherconditions; the landingareaislimitedtoprivateuse;allapproach/departure operationsareconducted from 040 degrees/220degreeswhateverelse those numbersmean;and then prior to use, a

representativeof FAAevaluate. So you have -- I just wanted to make clear to the commissioners thatthose conditionsare alreadyin placewith the FAA. So if there’s any

separateconditions thatwewouldlikeimposeI thinknowis thetimeto havethatdiscussion. Kurt,it looks likeyou were goingto saysomething.

Mr.Wollenhaupt: Justsothatthecommissionersknowconditionno.7oftheConditionalPermit doesstatethattheapplicantshall complywiththeFAArequirementsforthehelistops. There’s goingto haveto besomewordsmithinghere.Probably CorporationCounselmayweighin,but it wouldbesomethingsuchas the MauiCountyPlanningDepartment wouldsayrecommend approvalattheManele locationasdescribedinthestaffreportpreparedforthe LanaiPlanning Commissionasofthisdatesubjectto thefollowingconditions.Sowe’IIjusthaveto ensurethat this,anythingthat goeson upwhatyou’reapprovingstatesManele.

Becausewevotedanddenied Koele,theSpecial Land Use Permitand madeour recommendationfor the ConditionalPermit,Councilcan come aroundandtotallyignoreour recommendationis andgrant thatpermit. Butjust so I’mclear they needtwo of thosepermits? Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page51 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Mr.Wollenhaupt:(nods)

Ms.Gima:Okay.

Ms. Zigmond: Okay, we’re gettingvery hungry and very tired. I move that we. recommend...approval oftheConditionalPermitto CountyCouncilandI recommendthat we...approvethe -- sorryI just lostit too -- theotherone. Here,wait, wait.

Ms.Zigmond: TheSpecialLandUse-- thankyou -- Permitfor Manele,only. Bothof themfor Manele only.Withthe conditionthatthere’snoflyingbetween7:00p.m.and7:00a.m.

Mr.Oshiro:I secondthat.

Ms. Thomson: Just forclarification. Do you want to alsoinclude all of the conditions recommendedbythe PlanningDepartment?

Ms.Zigmond:Yes.

Ms.Thomson:Okay.

Ms.Gima:Lynn? Yeah,let’shavea discussionaboutthis before we vote.Lynn?

Ms. McCrory:I don’tthink youhadany issuescomingfrom the Maneleresidents.The one letteryouhave,the personis nota Maneleresident. So,shedoesn’tlivethereor shehasn’t

Ms.Zigmond:I’mthinkingagainaboutour localresidents.I, I can’tgo 11,10o’clockat night.

Ijust can’tdothat.

Ms.Gima:Lynn,can yougiveusthe reasonforwant --the needforthe 10p.m.? Isit because therewouldbe -- likeif someoneisflyinginto Oahuandarrives thereat7:00andwantsto get immediatelyover?

Ms.McCrory:Yes. It’smoreof thatbecause thereareflightscomingin. I usedthe 11forthe per chance that there’s someoneon the 10:00 p.m. flight whenthey come in has that

opportunity.It’smoreto servicethe guests. Again,I don’tbelievethatmostpeoplearegoing

to comeover at night. I reallydo not. I thinkthat’sgoingto be prettyunusual, buttheywill

comeoverduringtheday. SoI say11p.m.justto coverthechance ofa guest. lfwhatwe find, andI’mmore thanwillingto dothis,thatwe havecomplaintscomingfrom theParkCouncil, we wouldbemorethanwillingtotakea look atthatandsay,weneedto makea change.And then Lanai PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page52 APPROVED 07-20-2016 we wouldmakethechange.

Ms.Gima:All infavorraiseyourhands.One,two, three, four, five,six. Unanimous.Okay,so Joe,comeupandwe’lldo thetwo CouncilResolutions.

Mr. Joseph Alueta: No night differentialfor you Clayton. Goodevening. My name is

Joe Alueta, I’m your AdministrativePlanning Officer. I also workwithin the Zoning Administrationand EnforcementDivision. Thereare twomethodologiesin which you can amend Title19. One is by myself,or the Department,or the Administration draftingan amendmentto Title 19,andwe bringit beforeyou. Title19is the ZoningCode. That’swhat we administerand that’s primarilyall the permitsthat you review here today. The other methodologyinwhichyoucanzoneoramendTitle19,theZoningCode,andthatisby Council Resolution.ByCharter,byrequirement,theCountyCouncil mustsubmitall resolutionsto the threeplanningcommissions toreviewit andcomments.Andyouneedto gettheircomments backbya certain timeperiod.Itdoesn’tmeanthat theywill automaticallywill takeuptheaction onthe item. Itjust meansthattheycantakeit upso it preventsyoufromdeferringordelaying sendingyourcommentsup. Mostof the Councilwillwaitif theyknowthatthereis comments comingfromthe three planningcommissions.

So the first item that we havetoday is Resolution15-139 referringto the Lanai,Maui,and MolokaiPlanningCommissions. This is regardsto transientvacationrentalsin Planned Developments.TheReaderDigestversionofthis,this doesnotimpactLanaiatall,okay.This is,if yourecall,acoupleofyearsago,Icame beforeyou, therewasa similarbillthatamended, thatwe did theoriginalamendmentto PlannedDevelopmentsandit was calledthe Puamana Billbecause whenyou narrowdownthescopeofall the differentPlannedDevelopmentsthat wouldbeallowed basedonthenarrow criteriasthatisestablishedin19.32 thatthey’vecarefully crafted,only Puamana wasimpacted. Duringthat meeting,at Council, theyattemptedto amend,add similar languagethat you see todayto includeAlaeloawhichis anotherolder planneddevelopment. They could not get a consensusfrom eitherthe homeownersor whatever,but that didn’t pass. Apparentlynow Councilis willing,is sendingnow another amendmentthatwouldincludeAlaeloa. Dowe likespecificresolutionsthathelpor benefitor hurtanyoneindividualor property?No,it’s bad;badpolicyand baddrafting. I likein Title19 throughPandora’sBox. Every timeyouamendit,youdon’tknowwhatyou’regoingtoget, and you can haveotherconsequences.Basedon our research thisamendmentagainonlywill havetheabilityorwillgrantAlaeloa theabilitytodoshort-termrentals.Theycurrentlyadvertise itasshort-term ofrentals. We’vehadnoticesofwarnings againstthemalsofortheirshort-term rentals. But again,from that aspect,it doesn’t impactLanaiat all. It impactsone planned developmenton Maui. Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page59 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Ms.Gima:Whyis it in front ofus? Thisisjust protocol.

Mr.Alueta:It is becauseitis an amendmentto Title 19.

Ms.Gima: Okay.

Mr.Alueta:Other,otherpointsaboutthisprojector particularwithregardstothis,anytimeyou converthousingto short-termrentalsor transientvacationrentals,it impactsthe housing market. We’ve -- regardlessof people,their positionon it, that’s an economicfact. We’re noticingthat,specificallyon Maui,youguystalkaboutyourshortageof housing.It’soccurring everywhere.Thisprojectdoes notnecessarily impact affordablehousingif youwant. Thisis very -- thisis a gatedcommunity,13acres,verylowdensity,a planneddevelopmentproject, and theprice rangeand rentalrates are -- wouldnot qualifywithin the affordable housing criteriaof either 50%to 80%, 80%to 100%. I’m not evensure it wouldqualifyin the 200 percentilebracket.Butagainwe’rejustpointingthatitdoeshaveanimpactonhousinginsome fashion because thereare --. Ifsomebodycan’trenta houseor can’tbuya houseat a higher level,they’regoingto godownto thenextlevel, andthey’regoingto pushingthatmarket.We recognizethat. But,again,asindicatedinmystaffreport,wedon’t thinkithasanydirect impact on affordablerentalsper se.

Andthat’sprettymuch,that’sthe ReadersDigestversion.Doyouhaveanyquestionsforme?

Ms.Thomson:Yes. Forclarification.Ifthesepropertieswantedto do short-termrentals,now, howwouldtheygoaboutit? lwantto prevent--they’renotpreventedfromdoingit if theyjust followthe currentprocedure,right?

Mr.Alueta:Someofthemwouldbe,wouldqualify...iftheyweresinglefamily. Becausetheyare duplexstructuresit wouldbe difficultfor themto seeka short-termrental permitor a bedand breakfastbecausethe restrictionsin bothofthose title restrictit toa single-familydwelling.So that’swhereit comesdownbecausesomeof theseareduplexes.

The other methodologyin which this projector propertyas a whole could getshort-term, transientvacationrentalis to seeka CommunityPlanAmendmentto Hotel, andtheH-wordis not normallya popularwordon Mauior anyisland;andthen seeka ChangeinZoningto an appropriate hoteldistrict.

Mr.Alueta:Thankyou. Okay, the nextitemis...Resolution16-- I’msorry-- 16-01with regards to allowingfor compostingwithintheagriculturaldistrict. Ifyougoto page3...just tohelpyou alongwith,with howthis works; the cheatsheet. Okay,underthe currentstandards,right, compostingisallowed.It’sa normalactivitywithinafarmingoperation,okay. Soifyou wanted to compostand useonsite,and useonsitematerial,we considerit anallowed practice within both theCountyand StateAgriculturalDistrict. If youcompostonsite materialand sell to others,right. You havethousandsof acresof brushandother compostablematerialsthat’s sitting thereandyoumowedit all upandyoucompostedit and youwantedtosellit toanother farmeratanotherlocation,youcould. That wouldbeconsidereda normalagriculturalpractice andweconsiderit -- that’sanallowedusewithinboththe StateandCounty Agriculture.

Ifyouwantedto compostoffsitematerial,right. Soyou’reimporting green wastefromthelocal tree trimmersfor yourfarm,and youhavelikea fiveacre farmorwhatever,butyouneeda lot of compostfor vegetablegardens,and youcompostthatmaterialanduseit onyourvegetable gardens,that’s also allowed. That’s-- it’sjust like you’reimportinganyotherrawmaterialfor yourproductionof yourfarm.

Ms.Zigmond:Doesthatsite meanoff island?

Mr. Alueta:Off propertyso off of the parcellot.

Ms.Zigmond:Butit wouldhaveto be onisland,onthesameisland.

Mr.Alueta:No.

Ms.Zigmond:No? Lana’i PlanningCommission Minutes— April20, 2016 Page62 APPROVED 07-20-2016

Mr.Alueta:If it wasoff islandit wouldbeanotherparcel thatit wascomingfrom,right, yeah. And thentheotherwayislikeif youwantedtodo-- butif youwantedtocompostoffsite material or off island material,andthensellit tosomebodyelse, right,on anotherparcel,thatwouldbe not beallowedandyouwouldneedto get,for us,a special,a permit.

What’sgoingonwiththe proposalwhichis...isthatthey,they’re,County Councilis proposing a definition forcompostingintheirbill, andthey’remakingit analloweduse. Meaningthat it’s not consideredto be...it’snot anaccessoryuseof a farm, but it’sjust a permittedusein the agriculturaldistrict. Sowhatthismeansisyou canhavean agriculturallotandbringmaterial off site,compostit, anduseit onsite orsell,okay. But,theremayor maynotbea farm. So --

and like I saidso it wouldbethe commercial operationon the propertyis nota farm,but is a cornpostingoperation.That’showthedefinition, that’showtheyhaveitwrittenrightnow. The Departmenthasconcernson that, and we kindof enumeratedthoseconcernsthatwe share withthe Office ofEconomicDevelopment.

Oneis wetalkedaboutnoise. Ifyouhavea twoacreag lotand youbringa chipper shredder or, or drum...drumgrinder-- thankyou -- andyou’redoingstumps,right,it’sgoingto makea lotof noise. Especiallyif youlivenextto anurbanareaor if youareina quasi urban, two acre aglotsubdivision,it’sgoingto makealot noise.Especiallyif it’sgoingeightto 10hoursaday.

Contaminants...the issuewith like any material,you’regrindingit up into like a humuslike material,it canget driedout,it canget windblown if youdon’thaveappropriatecontainment.

Fire,youhave-- these -- partof thecompostingprocessis heat. If youpileup thematerialit generatesa lotof heat. Ifyoudon’t-- if you pileit too high,youcangetfires. Youseethat -- whenyouhearaboutlandfill dumps,that’spretty muchwhat’sgoingon is thatyou’vecreated a compostpileand its got packeddownand it generatesenoughheatthat it selfcombusts. Andsowe’vehadfires notonlyat landfill,youhavefires at the compostingfacilitieson Maui whichis at the local dump,at the locallandfill.

Invasivespeciesmovement. You’regoingto allow peopleto bringcompostin from off, off property. Theremayor maynot bethe transportationof someinvasivespecies. We hada casewherein Haikutheydiscoveredsome fireants. Theguygot all of the compost,and he tookit Hanalandfill. Hanalandfillsaidwecan’ttakethat,you’vegotto takeitto CentralMaui. So you basicallyhave a little fireants hitchinga ride on a truck thatwent all along Hana Highway. That could spreadand be disastroushad it gotten loose and other colonies establishedout there,sothat’spartof the concern.

TheCountysupportscomposting.Wethink...anda lotof thetestifiers previouslyhad,onMaui and, I mean,on Molokai,it’s thelife bloodof any farm,whetherit’s a traditionalfarm or an organicfarm composting. Compostmaterialis desperatelyneeded. However fromthe Department’sstandpointwe don’tfeelthatthis bill is adoptablein itscurrentform. We think, currently, werestrict -- we considercompostingto be a permitteduse aspart of a farming operationor as a farm,a commercialfarmoperation.It’stheonly whereyoubringingoffsite material wherewewouldconsideryouto geta SpecialUsePermit,okay. Eventhoughthey’ve Lana’iPlanningCommission Minutes—April20, 2016 Page63 APPROVED 07-20-2016

madeit, andas I explained— I knowyouall read mymemoreport-- andsothatif you...lookat it, eventhoughthe Countymakesit a permitteduse in their CountyAgriculturalDistrict,the PlanningDepartmentdoesnot believeit’s an allowedusein the StateDistrict. Sowe would requirea SpecialPermitunder205-6. So if this bill is attemptingto get around theSpecial Permitprocess oftheState,wedon’t--it doesn’tdo that.Just becauseyoumakeit apermitted useintheCountyAg,itdoesn’tmeanthatyou’vesomehowmadeit analloweduseintheState Ag. Andwe’vepointedoutthatevenattheStateLegtheyattemptedseveralbills,ortherewas a bill to define compostingand establish limits. So already people are thinking about compostingandthey’resaying,hey,we needto createsomestandardsfor it.

So,that’s pretty-- I mean,that summarizedmost of ourconcerns.We dorecommendeven thoughwe’re not in supportof thisparticularbill,we do recommend thatthereshouldbean amendmentto 19.04whichis the definitionsectionsof the MauiCountyCodeto defineboth composting, whichhasa moregenericterm,generic...definitiOnandmore broader, aswellas commercial composting.So,thatwouldhelpusinourenforcementasfarasthatgoes.
