that the removable/portable shower and set of solar panels that the landowner had noted in his June10, 2015 letter to the Department were not visible from the road side at the time of the site visit.

Subsequent correspondences were sent between the Department and the Landowner (see Exhibits 5-9) in an attempt to settle this matter by requesting that the landowner remove the RV and associatedimprovements. However, the landowner was not amenable to removing the RV, hence the need forthis matter to be brought before the Board.

Staff notes that a second site visit was conducted on February 7, 2017 in which it was observed thatthe RV and associated improvements were still present (see Exhibit 10).

DISCUSSION

Chapter 13-5, Hawai’i Administrative Rules (HAR) and Chapter 1 83C, Hawai’i Revised Statutes(HRS), regulate land uses in the Conservation District by identifying a list of uses that may beallowed by Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP). The chapters also provide for penalties,collection of administrative costs, costs associated with land and/or habitat restoration, and damagesto state land for uses that are not allowed or for which no permit has been obtained.

Land use is defined in HAR §13-5-2(2) as

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

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

(3) The subdivision ofland or

(4) The construction, reconstruction, demolition, or alteration ofany structure, building,orfacility on land.

The improvements on the subject parcel falls within this definition of land use as it involves theplacement or erection of any solid material on land for more than thirty days.

ANALYSIS:

HRS, §183C-7 Penalty for violation notes (a) The department shall prescribe administrativeprocedures as it deems necessary for the enforcement of this chapter and (b) Any person violatingthis chapter or any rule adopted in accordance with this chapter shall be fined not more than $15,000per violation in addition to administrative costs, costs associated with land or habitat restoration, anddamages to public land or natural resources, or any combination thereof. After written or verbalnotification from the department, willful violation of this chapter or any rule adopted in accordancewith this chapter may incur and additional fine of up to $15,000 per day per violation for each day inwhich the violation persists.

The penalty range for the unauthorized land uses will be substantially determined based on the typeof permit that would have been required, had the landowner applied to the DLNR to conduct the

identified land use(s). As there is no identified land use in this case, we have assessed that the closestidentified land use for the RV and associated improvements would be found under HAR §13-5-23,L-3 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE (D-1). Therefore, based on the Conservation District ViolationPenalties Schedule Guidelines and Assessment of Damages to Public Land or Natural Resources,Section 2.1, PENALTY CALCULATION (see Exhibit 11), the closest identified land use wouldrequire a Board CDUP, therefore, the Penalty Range is from $10,000.00 to $15,000.00.

FINDINGS

The unauthorized placement of an RV and associated improvements on the property are in violationof Chapter 183C, HRS and Title 13-5, HAR. Based upon our investigation, OCCL finds that:

1. The location of the unauthorized land use, Tax Map Key: (4) 5-8-005:026, is in the StateLand Use Conservation District Limited Subzone;

2. That these improvements were not authorized by the Department of Land and NaturalResources under HAR §13-5.

AS SUCH, STAFF RECOMMENDS AS FOLLOWS:

That, pursuant to HRS, §183C-7 and HAR, §13-5-6, the Board finds the landowner in violation ofHAR, §13-5-23, and is subject to the following:

1. That the landowner is fined $10,000 in one instance for violating the provisions of HRS§183C-7 and HAR §13-5-23 for the unauthorized placement of and RV and two tarp tentstructures and failing to obtain the appropriate approvals within the Conservation District;

2. That the landowner is fined an additional $1,000 for administrative costs associated with thesubject violations;

3. That the landowner shall pay all designated fines and administrative costs ($11,000) withinninety (90) days from the date of the Board’s action;

4. That the landowner shall remove all unauthorized structures within ninety (90) days from thedate of the Board’s action and allow Staff to conduct a follow-up site inspection to ensurecompliance;

5. That the landowner, its successors and assigns, shall indemnify and hold the State of Hawai’iharmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, or demand for property damage, personalinjury, and death arising out of any act or omission of the landowner, its successors, assigns,officers, employees, contractors, and agents relating to or connected with this matter;

6. That the landowner shall comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, andregulations of the Federal, State and County governments;

Dear Suzanne 1). Case,

Thank you for your letter, which I received a few days ago. I had a chance to explain an alleged issueof unauthorized land use to your staffmember, Lauren Yasaka, over the phone. I also would like foryou to have my written response to your letter.

We finished clearing our lot from invasive species over a year ago. It was done in compliance with therules and regulations of the DLNR. You may contact Alex J. Roy M.Sc. of the OCCL staff at 808 5870316 for more information. After the entrance area to the lot was cleared and debris removed, peoplestarted to use for dumping. We had to remove from that area of our lot: one and a half car, with anumber of old automotive parts, old bicycles, old building materials, like: carpet, broken glass doors,moldings, etc.. We replaced the old, broken gate in order to prevent the dumping in the future,

The dumping issue was solved, but the new issue has arisen. We brought an RV to the lot, placedremovable/portable shower and the set of solar panels. No excavation or grading was done, and due tothe size ofthe solar panel frame (11.5’ x 10’) and the shower (3’ x 3’), the permit was not required.People started to walk around the gate and take things when we are not here, things like: gasoline incontainers, propane gas in containers. Our car got broken in and the radio was pulled out, the gasolinewas siphoned, even my shoes were taken.

We have been offered many times money to let other people camping on our lot, and we have beenoffered money to rent out RV when we are not here, but we refused. This is very big year for ourfamily. Our son is going be graduating high school and entering college this summer. I am planning tobe away from Kau&i for a couple of months. So, I decided to place an ad on Craigslist to let someoneto camp on our lot while I am away. I had to come up with some cost for it for a couple of reasons. Iwould like to emphasize, that it does not mean, that we would take or keep the money. It was just amere tactic to pre-qualify the person who would keep an eye on the property and enjoy camping herewhile I am away. We wanted to find someone off the island, who would appreciate an opportunity ofstaying on the beautiful north shore of Kaua’i. We would not like to advertise it as free camping toanybody. As the experience shows, it can raise another problematic issue. I took the ad off theCraigslist. I think, we will be able to solve this problem through a friend of our friends.

We appreciate your guidance in this matter, and we would like to assure you in our compliance withDLNR rules and regulations. Please contact me at 508 499 6625 if you have any questions.

Sincerely

Val Sanjra.

SUBJECT: Alleged Unauthorized Land Uses in the Conservation District Located ilowc.. -House Road, Wainih, Kaua 1, Hawai 1

Tax Map Key (TMK): (4) 5-8-005:026

DearMadamSuzanneD.Case:

Thank you for the follow up letter, dated March 14,2016, regarding to the alleged unauthoized landuses in Conservation District. We would like to address all of the issues in the same sequence as theywere raised in your letter.

1. A large wooden fence/gate structure was a partial replacement of the old, deteriorated, brokenfence and gate, which came with the property. You may verify it with the seller’s Real Estateagent, Kevin O’Shaunghnessy, at 808 651-4918. We also included a couple ofpictures of theold fence, which were taken at the time of the sale (Exhibits: 1-3). Some of the old fence is stillhere, on the west side of the lot (Exhibit 4).

2. A recreational vehicle (RV) under a tarp tent structure are not permanent structures, andbrought here for storage of the required equipment and tools to conduct necessary maintenanceofthe property. The tent and RV are not here for the recreational purposes, and both can beremoved in a matter ofminutes, without any environmental damage. In our letter to theDepartment of Land and Natural Resources, dated March 23, 2012, we asked DLNR for help toremove all ofthe albizia trees (Exhibits: 5 & 6), but we did not receive any help from you, andwe had to take care of it by ourselves. As you know, the albizia trees are very invasive, and theland requires regular maintenance in order to fight this specie down. A couple of years ago, oneof the albizias fell down, leaving the north shore ofthe island without electricity for two days.The electric company sent us a claim for about $ 100,000, but after the investigation, they foundus not liable. Right after the accident, we managed to cut all albizias down, saving the countyover a million dollars in maintenance.Our request for construction of small (under 200 SF) shed/storage, dated February 27,2014,was not approved by DLNR. We cannot leave our equipment or tools outside, and if we do, theyget stolen, even things like: wheelbarrow, larger tools, and other things, I wrote you about in myprevious letter. The storage and the fence is absolute necessity here, because we are not on theproperty all the time.

3. A cleared leveled area with gravel had originally, when we bought it, some gravel on it. Youmay verify it with Kevin O’Shaunghnessy, the seller’s agent. That is the area where the cutwood was placed before hauling it to the green waste facility. We started hauling the woodduring the rainy season, and the trucks kept on getting stuck there, so we added a little gavelthere, but we will scrape off what was added when we finish hauling the rest of the leftover

wood. This area, as I mentioned in my previous letter, was used in the past to dump things, or toenter the woods for illegal activities, such as unpermitted camping (Exhibits: 7-9), hunting, etc.About a year ago, before we replaced the gate someone entered through the property, andplaced a pig’s trap, right next to the property line (Exhibit 10).

4. Two metal posts In the ground with chain connecting them are the temporary replacement ofthe old broken fence/gate. People get through that point on the property to ride motorcycles andfor other unwelcomed or illegal activities. Last year when I was away from Kaua’i, someonebrought a horse, and left it on the property for two weeks without food or water, and ourneighbors had to bring water to it (Exhibit 11).

5. A white pipe in the ground was already removed.

Dear Madam Suzanne D Case

Thank you for your letter, dated April ii, 2016.1 explained in my previous letters and over the phoneto your staffmember, Lauren Yasaka, that the area of the lot where the trailer (RV) is, there used to be adump. We removed from there two cars, one of them was rusted through, a number of old automotiveparts, chemicals, old automotive oil, rusted bicycles, old building materials, broken glass doors,moldings, etc. You may verify it with the seller’s Real Estate agent, Kevin O’Shaungnessy, at 808 651-4918, or the towing company, Kenny’s Towing, at 808 635 1215. No one complained about that, andnothing was in violation then.

After the invasive species removal authorization from Alex 3. Roy M.Sc. of the OCCL staff, themaintenance of the lot became ongoing effort. We need the tools and the storage on the property,the mobile trailer (RV) is the solution that we found for the permitted use provided in HAR Section 13-5-22, P4 Removal of Invasive Species (A-i).

We are asking the Department of Land and Natural Resources to allow us to keep the trailer (RV) onthe subject property, pursuant to 183 C-4 (c), Hawai’I Revised Statutes.

We are currently working with our attorney, Ian K.Jung, 808 245 2163, who is helping us with theapplication for a site plan approval by the DLNR given the following provision in HAR Section 13-5-22, P-9 (B-i).

We appreciate your help in this matter, and we would like to assure you in our compliance with DLNRrules and regulations. Please contact me at 808 212 7939 ifyou have any questions.

Sincerely,

Val Sanjara.
