None of the plants which were inventoried are listed as threatened <br /> and endangered species. <br /> An archaeological inventory survey was conducted by Paul H. Rosendahl Inc. <br /> The original survey report was revised pursuant to comments received from the State <br /> Department of Land and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division <br /> (DLNR-SHPD) dated June 16, 1993, January 11, 1994 and January 20, 1995. The <br /> survey identified 68 sites consisting of 177 discrete features within the two parcels. It <br /> appears that there are at least 40 sites on the subject parcel. Fifty two (52) of the 68 <br /> sites identified were assessed as significant solely for information content. Of the 52 <br /> sites, 8 sites were deemed "no further work required" while the other 44 required <br /> further data collection. Five (5) of the remaining 16 sites were assessed as "significant <br /> for information content and as provisionally significant for cultural value, pending <br /> further data collection." Further data collection and provisional preservation "as is" <br /> are recommended and will be conducted. Four sites were assessed as significant for <br /> information content and as excellent examples of site types and for cultural value. <br /> These sites are recommended for further data collection followed by preservation <br /> within interpretive development. The remaining site is assessed as significant for <br /> information and content and cultural value (Site 15261, trail). Normally trails require <br /> preservation; however, the integrity of site 15261 is poor, as the trail is discontinuous <br /> and heavily eroded. No further work was recommended for the trail. Four sites have <br /> been identified as containing human burials (site 2491, 4004, 4013, 16130). Five sites <br /> (2493, 16126, 16127, 16136, 16162) require further data collection. Further <br /> archaeological data collection, preservation and/or recordation of the sites will be <br /> required as a condition of approval. <br /> According to the applicant, provisions fora 10-foot wide public access to and <br /> along the shoreline will be made. Tentative plans call fora 4-stall public parking area <br /> at the south end of the property. There will also be lateral access along the length of <br /> the subject parcel. For the most part it will be a natural pathway. For safety reasons, <br /> other types of improvements may be made in certain areas along the pathway. This <br /> 10-foot wide lateral access would be located mauka of the certified shoreline. <br /> Mauka-makai public accesses, as well as lateral access, to and along the shoreline will <br /> be required. There are no major trails traversing the applicant's property. However, <br /> the specific treatment for trails and other features designated for preservation would be <br /> determined as part of the archaeological approval process in conjunction with the <br /> requirements of DLNR-SHPD and other applicable agencies. <br /> Impacts associated with this 50-lot single family development such as <br /> historical, visual, traffic, drainage and design concerns have been assessed and will be <br /> <br />
