Archaeological Resources: An attached report explains some ruins contained on 31 acres of Paradise Hui Hanalike lands. There are a few petroglyphs along the shoreline and there are several lava tubes containing burial sites within Hawaiian Paradise Park. Visual Resources: Within the boundaries of the subdivision there are many areas where Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and the ocean may be viewed. The visual impression one gets when driving the main roads within the boundaries is that of tree lined thoroughfares leading to the ocean with the exception of those areas already cleared where homes have been built. Natural Hazards: There is the potential for lava flows from Mauna Loa's several vents. Coastal areas to an elevation 50 feet above mean sea level are considered susceptible to tsunami inundation. Mutation: The Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision has approximately 6,000 residents. Best estimates for growth are approximately 10 percent per year with a maximum of approximately 30,000 within 25 years. Existing Land Use: Most of the area is undeveloped t acre parcels zoned for agricultural use. There are orchards of guava, papaya, orchid farms, and many small agricultural pursuits. There are several businesses/organizations such as nurseries, a veterinarian, churches, and fruit stands within the boundaries. There are also many unpermitted businesses which include auto repair, bicycle repair wrecking yard, safety inspection station, nursery supply, solar equipment supply, financial management, computer repair, trucking and heavy equipment yard. There are two undeveloped county parks equaling about 4 acres of property along the shoreline. There are approximately 2,600 existing homes in the subdivision.
