pool shelf consisting of a broad expanse of pahoehoe strewn with a'a clickers and coral <br />rubble, and covered in some areas with up to about 5 inches of sand. <br />18. Soil Survey Report: The Soil Survey Report, published by the Soil Conservation <br />Service, classifies soils located within the project site as A'a (rLV) and Pahoehoe <br />(rLW) Lava Flows, Rock Land (rRO) and Beach Areas (BH). Rock Land (rRO) is a <br />miscellaneous land type which consists of pahoehoe lava bedrock covered in places with <br />a thin layer of transported soil. <br />19. Land Study Bureau: The Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System <br />classifies soils within the project area having an overall roaster productivity rating for <br />agricultural use of "E" or "Very Poor". <br />20. ALISH: The project area is not classified by the State Department of Agriculture's <br />Agricultural Lands of Importance to Hawaii (ALISH) Map. <br />21. A visual analysis of the project site and its relation to the surrounding area was <br />conducted by the applicant. The view analysis indicates that the project area will not <br />obstruct views of the ocean from the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This is based upon <br />the uses and design standards including the following concepts: 1) maximum building <br />heights in the commercial areas will be the same as in the multi -family residential areas, <br />maximum height of 45 feet; 2) golf course uses as permitted rather than conditional <br />uses; 3) landscape hedges will not be absolutely required between commercial and <br />residential zone areas; 4) the building envelope as determined by these standards as <br />proposed by the applicant. Therefore, no mitigative measures are needed to maintain <br />an ocean view from the highway. <br />FLORAL / FAUNAL / MARME RFSOLIRCFS <br />22. Flora: A floral survey of the project site was conducted by Char & Associates in <br />February 1994. Of a total of 44 species inventoried, 28 are introduced or alien species; <br />2 are originally Polynesian introduction; and 14 are native. Typical vegetation <br />expected to be found within the project site consist of scattered patches of plants on <br />pahoehoe lava flows. Fountain grass is the most abundant of the grasses as well as two <br />native subshrubs, the 'W= and 'uhaloa. Other shrubs found occasionally include <br />
