Flerall'auna Resources <br /> No professional flora or faunal surveys were conducted of the site as past indications <br /> suggest that the Project Site has been previously cleared as part of its historical use as a <br /> sugar cane field that is now overgrown with non-native plants and other invasive <br /> species. The Project Site is located in an urban setting in an area dominated hysingle- <br /> family residential uses, For similar reasons, the Applicant does not believe that rare U[ <br /> endangered floral or faunal resources exist within the Project Site nor are there <br /> anticipated habitats for any rare orendangered animals. Given its elevation, |tcould be <br /> possible that the Project Site may befrequented bythe Hawaiian Hawk /|^o\ and the <br /> Hawaiian Owl (Pueo). <br /> 19.
