Communication 86 Bi1125 Page 2 of 3 February 19, 1964. The cost of the proposed subdivision is estimated to be approximately $50,000.00. 4. Access to the site is from Awa Street, a County road with a 50-foot wide right-of--way with a 20-foot wide pavement and 6-foot wide grass shoulders. 5. County water is available to the property. The two additional parcels will utilize individual wastewater systems meeting the approval of the Department of Health. 6. The Planning Director recommended favorably on this request based on the following: • The proposed change of zone request from A-3a to RA-.Sa conforms to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. • The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management Area as the property is not situated within the Special Management Area. The property is located approximately 4.5 miles from the neazest coastline and therefore, will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. • The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates this area as Low Density Urban, which designation includes residential, ancillary community and public uses, neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses. • Surrounding properties are zoned A-3a and include a mix ofsingle-family dwellings, agriculture uses and vacant land. Panaewa Farm Lots 1~` Series (approved under Subdivision No. 1041 on February 11, 1957), is located adjacent to and immediately north of the subject site. This area was reclassified into the Urban District during the 1969 Boundary Review. • The U.S. Corps ofEngineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the property as Zone "X", areas determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. The property is unclassified by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawai` i (ALISH) System and the Land Study Bureau. While the potential for agricultural use may exist, the soil conditions within the property and surrounding area preclude conducting such agricultural activities. • Because the property is developed, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the subject property, nor has the area been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. Presently, there is no evidence of any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site, nor existence of known valued cultural, historical or native resources in the area. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed request will not have any adverse impact upon cultural or historical resources in the area. PC Report No. 14
