16. Cultural/Historic/Archaeological Resources: According to the applicant, as the site was formerly bulldozed and cleared,no commissioned archaeological survey was conducted. The Department of Land and Natural Resources-State Historic Preservation Division issued a letter dated May 29, 2013 requesting to conduct an archaeological field inspection on the project area. If undocumented significant historic properties are found and additional land altering activities are proposed as a result of the subdivision, an archaeological inventory survey(AIS)may be necessary in order to record any historic properties in the project area and determine an appropriate course of mitigation. 17. Public Access: There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 18. Access: Access to the property is from the Old Government Road(aka Hooper Road), which is not presently maintained by the County. According to the Department of Public Works, from its intersection with Mamalahoa Highway to the subject property,the pavement width is approximately 16 feet wide but narrows to 9 feet wide fronting the subject property and beyond. The pavement fronting the subject property is in poor condition. The right-of-way varies in width but appears on available maps to be less than 30 feet. The Department of Public Works is requesting that a 10-foot wide future road widening setback be required along the entire subject frontage and be dedicated to the County upon request at no cost to the County. A location survey should be required to show the location of existing features relative to the Hooper Road right of way boundary and the future road widening setback, including but not limited to pavements,walls, trees, and utilities. If required by DPW,the applicant shall, at no cost to the County, remove or assume the County or designated agent will remove the subject property owner's encroachments (if any)within the Hooper Road right-of-way and the future road widening setback area. Lastly, the applicant should be required to provide improvements for a vehicle turnout to allow for 2-way traffic along the subject property frontage of Hooper Road consisting of,but not limited to, a pavement widening to 16 feet of traveled -3-
