A stream is to the east and undeveloped land lies to the south (mauka)of the property.

ALLEGED UNAUTHORIZED LAND USES (Exhibits A-El

The following chronology discusses the alleged unauthorized land uses:

November 24, 2012 A DOCARE Officer conducted a cursory site inspection of the subjectproperty due to a number of complaints regarding noise, sanitation andunauthorized land uses. The site inspection revealed a house trailer, anouthouse, storage shed, an open air pavilion and rock walls. (Exhibit F]

December 5, 2012 Notice was sent to the landowner identifying the alleged unauthorized landuses; the statute describing potential Board imposed fmes for unauthorizedland uses; notice that any information provided may be used in civilproceedings; and contact information for OCCL. [Exhibit G]

January 22, 2013 The OCCL is in receipt of Attorney Walton Hong’s response on behalf ofCarl and Shelly David. Mr. Hong’s correspondence stated Mrs. David hadacquired the property in 2008 and noted what was brought to the propertyand improvements that were made. This would include: A portable housetrailer; construction of a storage shed, an outdoor pavilion, a Balinese styleantique sleeping bed; restroom facilities connected to a septic system

approved by the State Department of Health; and lining the existinghollow-tile wall with rocks. [Exhibit H]

March 15, 2013 OCCL responds to Mr. Hong’s correspondence to inform him that theparcel is in the Limited subzone of the Conservation District and there areno records of authorization for improvements. To resolve matters, it wasrequested that all improvements be removed and the property beremediated. No action taken could result in Board imposed fines for theunauthorized land uses. [Exhibit I]

June 5, 2013 The OCCL is in receipt of Mr. Hong’s correspondence stating: “Thesubject property has been under foreclosure proceedings. The currentowners of the property, Joseph Carl David and Shelly Rielh David, areexploring various options to address the foreclosure issues and avoid thesale of the property. Unfortunately, the foreclosure matter is of the utmostpriority for the Davids at this time. Once the foreclosure matter is resolved,the Davids fully intend to address the violation matter with yourdepartment. In the meantime, they ask for your understanding andconsideration in delaying the addressing of the matter. [Exhibit J]

August 5, 2013 The OCCL is in receipt of Mr. Hong’s correspondence stating: “The partiescould not reach an agreement to hold off the foreclosure. TheCommissioner has scheduled the auction for August 15, 2013, at 12noon. . . We will keep you posted as to the results of the foreclosureauction.” [Exhibit K & U

May 30, 2014 Carl David as the grantee of the deed to the property is recorded in theBureau of Conveyances. (Exhibit MI

September 2014 Staff contacted Mr. Hong regarding a status update of the matter. Mr.Hong stated he needed to consult with his client.

December 9, 2014 Site inspection by staff revealed unauthorized land uses still exists on theproperty and additional improvements [gates] were conducted. (ExhibitN]

The Department has not authorized any of the land uses on the subject parcel.

RESOLUTION OF UNAUTHORIZED LAND USES:

Conservation DistrictThe Hawai ‘i Revised Statutes (HRS), Chapter 183 C, and the Hawai’ i Administrative Rules(HAR), Chapter 13-5, regulate land uses in the Conservation District by identifying land usesthat may be allowed by Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP). § 13-5-2, HAR defines “landuse” as:

2

Board of Land and Enforcement KA 13-18Natural Resources

(1) The placement or erection of any solid material on land if that material remains on theland more than thirty days, or which causes a permanent change in the land area on•which it occurs;

(2) The grading, removing, harvesting, dredging, mining, or extraction of any material ornatural resource on land;

(3) The subdivision of land; or(4) The construction, reconstruction, demolition, or alteration of any structure, building, or

facility on land.

The house trailer, storage shed, rock-lined hollow-tile wall, outdoor pavilion, Balinese styleantique sleeping bed, restroom facilities connected to a septic system approved by the StateDepartment of Health have been on the land for over 30-days, and therefore qualify as land usesas defined in HAR, § 13-5-2.

HAR, § 13-5-6, Penalty states: (a) Any person, firm, government agency, or corporationviolating any of the provisions of this chapter or permits issued pursuant thereto shall bepunished as provided in chapter 1 83C, HRS.

HRS, § 1 83C-7 Penalty for violation notes (a) The department shall prescribe administrativeprocedures as it deems necessary for the enforcement of this chapter and (b) Any personviolating this chapter or any rule adopted in accordance with this chapter shall be fined not morethan $15,000 per violation in addition to administrative costs, costs associated with land orhabitat restoration, and damages to public land or natural resources, or any combination thereof.After written or verbal notification from the department, willful violation of this chapter or anyrule adopted in accordance with this chapter may incur and additional fine of up to $15,000 perday per violation for each day in which the violation persists.

Based on the Conservation District Violation Penalties Schedule Guidelines and Assessmentof Damages to Public Land or Natural Resources, Section 2.1 Penalty Calculation; WhereStaff was unable to associate the unauthorized use with a typical land use identified in HawaiiAdministrative Rules (HAR) § 13-5, Staff may try to associate the action with the most similaridentified land use in HAR § 13-5, or according to the “harm to the resource” caused by theviolation. (Exhibit 0]

Under the Penalties Schedule Guideline, the unauthorized house trailer is considered a “Major”unauthorized land use since the identified land use, a single family residence, would require aBoard Permit under the permit prefix “D”. This violation follows a penalty range of $10,000 to$15,000.

The outdoor pavilion and a Balinese style antique sleeping bed may be unidentified land usesthat may be considered “Moderate” as the most similar land use would be a shelter, which wouldrequire a Departmental Permit under the permit prefix “C”. This violation follows a penaltyrange of $2,000 to 10,000.

The rock-lined hollow-tile walls and gates are considered “Moderate” under the PenaltiesSchedule Guideline since the construction of these existing unauthorized features would require

3

Board of Land and Enforcement KA 13-18Natural Resources

a Departmental permit under the permit prefix “C”. This violation follows a penalty range of$2,000- $10,000.

The storage shed and restroom facilities are considered “Minor” since the construction of theseexisting features [if these land uses were accessory to a permitted land use] would require a SitePlan Approval under the permit prefix “B”. This violation follows a penalty range of $1,000 -

$2,000.

The unauthorized placement of the -portable house trailer, outdoor pavilion, Balinese styleantique sleeping bed, storage shed, restroom facilities connected to a septic system, rock-linedhollow-tile walls and gates are land uses that occurred in the Conservation District withoutapproval and therefore allegedly violated the above referenced chapters and rules.

DISCUSSIONThe penalty range for the unauthorized land uses will be substantially determined based on thetype of permit that would have been required, had the landowner applied to the Department toconduct identified land uses. While the outdoor pavilion, Balinese style antique sleeping bed andportable house trailer are not permanent structures; the structures have remained on the land formore than 30-days and by definition are a land use.

The house trailer may be an identified land use that requires a Board Conservation District UsePermit (CDUP) pursuant to the HAR, § 13-5-23, L-3 Single Family residence.

The function of the Balinese style antique sleeping bed and separate outdoor pavilion must bereviewed by the Department to determine if there is an identified land use in which an after thefact authorization may be applied for.

The rock-lined hollow-tile walls and gates are identified land uses that require a DepartmentalConservation District Use Permit pursuant to the HAR, § 13-5-22, P-l3, Land and ResourceManagement.

Staff notes, while the landowner and his counsel stated they would like to resolve this matterexpeditiously, actions did not demonstrate this. Upon hearing of the foreclosure action, staffpatiently waited to be contacted of the outcome as correspondences from the landownersrepresentative stated, “We will keep you posted as to the results of the foreclosure auction.”

Based upon public record, it appears the foreclosure action resulted in the Davids being able toretain the property. However staff was not notified as stated. Staff had to initiate contact withthe landowners counsel every few months for a status update. No action to resolve this matterwas forthcoming from the landowner. The unauthorized land uses continue to exist and theviolations have been pending for over two years.

Photos taken 12/20 14 illustrate wooden gates that were not present in former photos. It appearsimprovements continued on the parcel while the landowner had knowledge that allegedviolations were pending on the parcel. [Exhibit Pj

Re: Haena Hui Lot 61, KauaiTMK: (4th) 5-9-02-65Carl and Shelly DavidENF: KA 13-18

Dear Mr. Lemmo,

We have been retained by Carl and Shelly David, owners of the above-referencedproperty, and am responding to your letter of December 5, 2012. I apologize for the tardiness ofthis response letter, but I left a message for Tiger Mills before I left on a trip to China; I onlyreturned last week.

Mrs. David acquired the property in 2008. At that time, she and her husband resided inMinnesota, and would periodically visit and maintain the property. To provide accommodationsfor them during their visits, they brought in a portable house trailer. Over the years since theyacquired the property, they undertook actions to improve the property. These included theconstruction of a storage shed, an outdoor pavilion, a Balinese style antique sleeping bed (whichhas not been used for sleeping or habitation purposes), and restroom facilities connected to aseptic system approved by the State Department of Health. Incidentally, the portable toiletshown in the photograph attached your letter was being used only temporarily for a party givenby the Davids, and has long since been removed. They also lined an existing hollow tile wallwith rocks in an effort to beautify the property.

Prior to undertaking these actions, the Davids made inquiry with the County PlanningDepartment, and were informed originally that any structure not exceeding 120 square feet(subsequently changed to 200 square feet) in floor area would not require a building permit.Based on those representations, the Davids proceeded with the said improvements within thepermissible limits. They were not aware of any distinction between the State Land Use “Urban”and “Conservation” district boundaries, and the different permitting requirements under thoserespective district boundaries.

Department of Land and Natural ResourcesAttention: Mr. Samuel J. LemmoJanuary 18, 2013Page 2 of 2

It was only when I met with the Davids last week and explained the different levels ofzoning and requirements did they begin to comprehend the nature of the alleged violations. Withthis knowledge, the Davids are willing to work with your department to resolve this matter in areasonable and appropriate manner.

Accordingly, we are seeking your suggestions as to a course of action acceptable to yourDepartment or the Board of Land and Natural Resources to resolve the issue of allegedviolations. As soon as an acceptable course is determined, we will move expeditiously toaddress the matter.

Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter. If there are anyquestions, please feel free to contact me.

Yours very truly,

Walton D. Y. Hong
