Subject:

Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) Roads Hawaii Island Saddle Road

Summary:

Appellents-Appellants Daniel Morimoto, M.D. (Morimoto) and Kats Yamada (Yamada), pro se, (collectively, Appellants), appear from the May 28, 2002 judgment of the circuit court of the third circuit (the court), affirming an administrative decision of Appellee-Appelles Hawaii State Department of Transportation and the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Highways Administration (FHA), (collectively, Appellees) for a conservation district use permit to upgrade Saddle Road in the County of Hawaii. We affirm the court's order. This appeal concerns the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) decision to grant a conservation district use permit (CDUP) for a project to upgrade State Highway 200, also known as Saddle Road, to a two-lane highway that would comply with the design of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials for rural arterials and accommodate an expected increase in traffic flow along the highway. A CDUP was required because the project proposed a realignment route, referred to as Pohakuloa Training Area-1 (PTA-1), that would traverse 206.70 acres of conservation district lands.
