Stacy Higa, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 12 fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance survey, oral history of kamaaina accounts of the area, historical survey of documentary records, botanical and/or fauna study was submitted. The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area: As the site was formerly graded, an archaeological inventory survey of the site was not conducted. By letter dated June 21, 2005, the applicant has requested a `ho effect" letter from the State Historic Preservation Division. There has been no response to the request as of this writing. Possible adverse effect or imnairment of valued resources: The applicant has stated that there is no evidence to show that valued cultural, historical, natural resources and traditional or customary native Hawaiian rights are conducted on the property or being practiced in the area. Therefore, no resources or traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights will be affected or impaired by the proposed project. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: A condition will be included to require the applicant to cease any activities on the site and notify the Planning Department if any unanticipated azchaeological features or sites are discovered during the course of improving the site. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Agricultural (A-Sa) to Multiple Family Residential-2,500 squaze feet (RM-2.5) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, amendments to the State Land Use Boundaries Map and Section 25-8-3 (North Kona Zone Map), of the County Zoning Code are transmitted.
