The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 study, 12 were recommended for preservation, 30 were recommended for data recovery, and no further work was recommended for the remaining 41 sites. Twenty-two (22) of the eighty-three (83) sites, as well as a 65-acre dryland native forest are proposed for preservation. By letter dated May 9, 2009, the DLNR-HPD has indicated that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed changes and amendments, with the following conditions, that: 1) all permanent site preserves be depicted on final subdivision plats and tax maps of development areas and construction grading plans; 2) interim preservation buffers are demarcated with construction fencing for sites within or near construction areas; 3) the revised long-term preservation plan is submitted for review and approved, and long-term preservation measures are implemented for all sites during build-out or prior to sate; 4) the report on data recovery is submitted for review and approval in a timely manner. A Biological Reconnaissance was conducted by Patrick Hart, PhD and completed in October, 2003. There are no endangered species of flora on the subject site. Three species of native birds ('to, Pueo and Hawaii `Amakihi) and eleven species of introduced birds were identified on the site. A Final Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) dated December 7, 2004, was conducted by Austin, Tsutsumi and Associates, Inc. Based on the TIAR and discussions with the Department of Public Works and Department of Transportation, conditions of approval were included in Ordinance No. 06 105 for roadway improvements. The project will generate additional traffic in the area. A Final Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) dated December 7, 2004, was conducted by Austin, Tsutsumi and Associates, Inc.

Impacts associated with this project development such as historical, visual, traffic, drainage and design concerns have been assessed through the Environmental Impact Statement which was accepted by the State Land Use Commission on October 7, 2004, and will be mitigated through conditions of approval. Therefore, the request would not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements, and police and fire protection. The proposed change of zone would allow for uses which would complement the uses proposed for the project. By constructing the commercial component first, the project will be more viable, as the development of the commercial area will produce the cash flow necessary to support the
