Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br />and Members of the County Council <br />Page 8 <br />adjacent resort facilities. The General Plan sets forth standards for the various type of <br />elements associated with the Project District, and related resort destination areas. <br />The Land Use element and Resort subelement of the General Plan also state that <br />resort uses shall be developed in areas adequately served by essential services and other <br />infrastructure. Essential services and infrastructure include sewer, water, roads, <br />employee housing and recreational facilities. This development includes the provision <br />of residential accommodations and commercial activities for long-term visitors as well <br />as permanent residents. Such facilities are considered an integral part of a resort area. <br />The requested single family residential and village commercial areas will be in keeping <br />with the concept of a self-contained resort area and will aid in the realization of it. <br />The area under consideration is provided or can be provided with all essential <br />utilities and services, including water. The applicant intends to provide water through <br />the development of three new potable water wells and four non -potable wells. The two <br />potable wells will be sufficient to address a maximum daily demand of 1.2 million <br />gallons and the third is required by the County of Hawaii as a back-up well. <br />Wastewater disposal will be accommodated by a private wastewater treatment <br />plant. Effluent from the treatment facility will be utilized to supplement non -potable <br />irrigation water at the proposed project's 36 -hole golf course. <br />Coastal Planning Area within the Project District would limit the allowed uses <br />and activities and manage the important cultural and environmental resources contained <br />therein. The Hawaiian Interpretive Center is proposed to be located within this area. <br />This area of approximately 235 acres comprises the Urban Coastal Planning Area of <br />197.936 acres and the Coastal Planning Area (Subzone C) of 37.064 acres, which is in <br />the State Land Use "Conservation" district and not part of the proposed Project <br />District. There is a 2.002 -acre area approximately 800 feet west of the Coastal <br />Planning Area (Subzone C) which is also in the State Land Use "Conservation" district <br />and not part of the proposed Project District. <br />The policy of the General Plan requires that public access to and parking for <br />beach and shoreline areas be developed. The Coastal Planning Area includes lateral <br />shoreline access, and public facilities which include pedestrian shoreline access, <br />parking, restrooms, showers and picnic areas. <br />An archaeological inventory survey of the property was conducted by Paul H. <br />Rosendahl, Ph.D., Inc. (PHRI) in two phases between 1991 and 1994. The survey <br />covered approximately 2,184 acres. According to the final archaeological inventory <br />
