r D. Flora/Fauna Although there were no professional surveys conducted of the floral or faunal resources of the site, the applicants do not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are likely to be found within the subject site. The site has already been cleared and actively utilized as residences. There is introduced landscaping on the site. Thus, floral impacts should be minimal. E. Historic/Archaeoloeical Resources Likewise, given the developed nature of the site, the likelihood of finding any archaeological finds on the property appear remote. Impacts to the archaeological resources would thus be minimal, if at all. F. Water and Coastal Resources The subject site is located well over 3 miles from the coastline. As such, coastal impacts resulting from discharge of wastewater systems from the site should not be significant. Further, being a non-coastal property, no coastal access will be affected. The wastewater from the project are presently being serviced by two State approved cesspools. As no new developments will occur on the site that would increase the wastewater demand, it is anticipated that the impacts to the groundwater would be minimal, if at all. G. Noise, Air Ouality, and Dust As there are already two dwellings on this site and this rezoning action is intended merely to create two legal lots of record, there should not be any additional noise, air quality, and dust impacts resulting from this project. H. Scenic and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, there were a few examples cited in the Hilo area, such as the view of Mauna Kea. As the existing structures are already constructed, there should be no additional impacts to existing view planes. 5
