The property is a 5.002 acre parcel located on the south side of Kanehoa Drive <br /> approximately 3/8 h of a mile south of Kawaihae Road. <br /> 13. The site presently is undeveloped. Since the site has been previously grazed by cattle <br /> <br /> and extensively graded for development, it is expected that no archaeological features <br /> exist on the property or that it provides a habitat for endangered plants or anim d <br /> species. <br /> <br /> 14. There is no evidence of historical or cultural features on the parcel, nor did the <br /> records in the Planning Department disclose any significant findings attributable to <br /> the subject property. <br /> 15. Common animal species in the area include field mice and mongoose. There is no <br /> <br /> known or recorded rare or endangered animal or plant life in the area. <br /> 16. The topography of the site is fairly level with slopes less than 10%. <br /> 17. The average annual rainfall is 20 - 35 inches. <br /> 18. The United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey identifies the soil type to be <br /> <br /> of the Puu Pa Soil series. The Puu Pa series consists of well-drained stony very fine <br /> loams that formed in volcanic ash. The soils are gently sloping and most areas are <br /> extremely stony. They are on uplands at an elevation ranging from 1,000 to 2,f 00 <br /> <br /> feet and receive between 20 to 35 inches of rainfall annually. Their mean soil <br /> temperature is between 69 degrees and 71 degrees. The natural vegetation consists of <br /> bermudagrass, swollen fingergrass, lantana, ilima and cactus. These soils and <br /> Kamakoa, Kawaihae, Waikoloa and Waimea soils are in the same general area. Puu <br /> <br /> Pa soils are used for pasture. Puu Pa extremely stony very fine sandy loam, 6 to 20 % <br /> slopes (PVD). This soil is found low on the leeward side of Hualalai, Mauna Kea, <br />
