As such. with the direct agricultural use plus the added tax revenues <br /> the project could have some positive influence on the island and <br /> area's economy. <br /> Aside from the potential agricultural activity, there will be some small <br /> short-term construction activity associated with the construction of the <br /> remaining permitted dwelling and other farm related structures. This <br /> could help, in a small way, with the area's construction economy. <br /> C. Agricultural Impacts <br /> As noted above, the requested zoning would have some measure of <br /> economic_impact,as it would create opportunity for the Applicants' <br /> family to each own their property in an area that would be more <br /> suitable for families rather than corporate activity. As such, the <br /> proposed subdivision should help enhance the potential to have more <br /> and sustainable agricultural activity on the site. <br /> Specifically, the Applicants and one of their children are interested in <br /> developing a nursery that provides or supplies gourmet type of <br /> products that would be used to supply local restaurants. These types <br /> of products, which require little soil and good drainage, would <br /> tentatively include poha, arugula, as well as drnjland taro, sweet <br /> potato, lychee, banana and the like. Green waste mulch would he <br /> introduced to supplement existing soil composition. Because of the <br /> area's rainfall, water catchment system will not be needed. However, <br /> if needed and to minimize the stress of the County's water system, <br /> catchment system can be installed. <br /> These planned agricultural ventures could help serve as a catalyst for <br /> some surrounding properties to be used more intensively for-small- <br /> scale truck crop or floricultural farming. Furthermore, with the direct <br /> agricultural use plus the added tax revenues, the project could have <br /> some positive influence on the island and area's economy. <br /> VII. INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. Road <br /> Access to the project would be from an existing private cane haul road <br /> commonly referred to as Kalaoa Camp Road. It is a private road <br /> easement within a 30-foot wide right-of-way.. The area from Highway <br /> 19 to the subject site has a 12-13 foot wide pavement with a 3-foot <br /> graveled shoulders. The road easement bisects the subject property. <br /> 16 <br /> _ _ <br />
