DFS('RiPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA <br /> 15. Subject Property: The subject property is an rectangular shaped lot. There are <br /> presently no structures nor any agricultural activities on the subject property. The <br /> entire property was grubbed by the owners. <br /> 16. U.S. Soil Survey: According to the Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation <br /> Services's Soil Survey Report, the land is of the Kaimu (rKED) and Punalu'u Series <br /> soil. The Kaimu Series consists of well-drained, thin organic soils over Aa lava. <br /> Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. It should be <br /> noted that this soil is not suitable for cultivation. The Punalu'u Series consists of <br /> well-drained thin organic soils over pahoehoe lava bedrock. The soil (peat) is rapidly <br /> permeable. The pahoehoe lava is very slowly permeable, although water moves <br /> rapidly through the cracks. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil <br /> is used largely for pastoral purposes. <br /> 17. FIRM: The U.S. Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates <br /> the property as Zone C, area of minunal flooding. <br /> 18. Land Study Bureau Soil Rating: Class "E" or Very Poor for agricultural use. <br /> 19. ALISH: Unclassified. <br /> <br /> 20. Flora and Fauna: Vegetation consists of primarily an overstory of Christmas berry, <br /> lama, alahe'e, kukui, mango and purple strawberry guava. Ground cover consists of <br /> primarily laua'e, bitter yam, Lantana, air plant, noni and ferns. As previously <br /> mentioned the parcel has been grubbed. <br /> <br /> 21. Archaeological Features: The site was previously cleared and, therefore, it is unlikely <br /> that there are any archaeological features remaining on the subject property. <br /> 22. Surrounding Land Uses/Zoning: The adjacent lands immediately to the north of the <br /> property are zoned A-Sa and A-la, to the east are A-Sa and RS-10, to the south and <br /> west are RS-10.
