General Plan. The Land Use Concept Map of the Hilo Community Development Plan identifies the subject area for Single Family Residential (RS -15) zoning. 9. County Zoning: Single Family Residential (RS -15). 10. Special Management Area (SMA): The subject area is not within the SMA. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA 11. Subject Property: According to the previous owner, William Machado, of the subject area, the land was originally leased from the Waiakea Mill Company and used for sugar cane production. In 1947, the land was converted to ranching activities. Presently, Machado Acres Subdivision comprises of a total 80 lots with minimum 10,000 square feet in size. There are 67 single family dwellings, 13 vacant lots, and the undeveloped park site, approximately 7.917 acres. 12. ALISH: Existing Urban Development. 13. U.S.D.A. Soil Type: Soils on the subject area are identified by the Soil Survey Repots of the Island of Hawaii as Olaa Very Stony Clay Loam (OID) and Panaewa Very Rocky Silty Clay Loam (PeC) Series. The Olaa series consists of well -drained silty clay loans that formed in volcanic ash. Olaa soils are used for the production of sugarcane. The Panaewa series consists of shallow, moderately well -drained silty clay loams that formed in volcanic ash. Panaewa soils are used for sugarcane, pasture, and woodland. In both soil series, the permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. 14. Land Study Bureau Soil Rating: "C" or Fair. 15. FIRM: Zone "X", areas determined to be outside the 500 -year flood plain. 16. Flora, Fauna and Cultural Resources: Because the subject area has been substantially altered by long-term sugarcane cultivation, ranching activities, years of grading and other topographic modifications, and residential development, there is no significant floral and fauna resources or habitats nor any archaeological sites evidently remaining within the area. The Department of Land and Natural Resources State Historic Preservation Division has indicated that the subject area is located on existing, sugar cane land and is highly unlikely that any significant historic sites would be found Qela
