TMK: 2-2-40: 70 is located on Awapuhi Street to the east of Parcel 69. <br /> 15. U.S.D.A. Soil Type: OID, Olaa extremely stony silty clay loam, 0 to 20 percent slopes. <br /> The surface layer is very dark brown extremely stony silty clay loam about 16 inches <br /> cluck. It is underlain by A'a lava. This soil dehydrates irreversibly into gravel-size <br /> aggregates. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This <br /> soil is used for sugarcane. <br /> 16. Land Study Bureau Soil Rating: Urban. <br /> 17. ALISH: Existing Urban Development. <br /> 18. FIRM: According to the Department of Public Works, "the subject parcels are within a <br /> designated floodway according to the Flood Insurance Rate map (FIRM) by the Federal <br /> Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Construction shall meet the r+cquirnments of <br /> Chapter 27 - Flood Control, of the Hawaii County Code. The owner/developer shall <br /> obtain a FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) prior to consttucdon plan <br /> approval and a FEMA Letter of Map Revision (CONK) prior to issuance of a certificate <br /> of occupancy for any development within the subject properties." A preliminary drainage <br /> report prepared by hnata and Associates, Inc., included as part of ffie application, <br /> concluded that the site could be developed if certain flood mitigation measures were <br /> taken. Based on FEMA's 1988 study (which was used to determine the base flood), the <br /> 100-year peak discharge in this area would be 4,025 cubic feet per second. The report <br /> noted that by constructing a reinforced concrete trapezoidal channel, grading the site, and <br /> submitting a request to FEMA to amend the FIItM map (due to existing and planned <br /> drainage improvements in this area), much of the site could be useable. <br /> 19. Flora/Faana Raoarces: As the site has been improved with a dwelling, the likelihood <br /> of any rare or endangered flora or fauna is remote. The site is also used for intermittent <br /> cattle or horse grazing. <br /> <br /> 20. Archaeologleal Resoarca: According to the applicant and the Department of Land and <br /> Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, as the site has been improved, there are <br /> no historical or cultural features on the parcel. Since the site is also used for intermittent <br /> cattle grazing, it is expected that ao archeological features exist on the property. <br /> -3- <br /> <br />
