Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 The anchialine ponds on the property will be preserved by the applicant. These ponds will be integrated into the development design. Direct or indirect impacts on the ponds will be negligible. Several archaeological surveys were conducted on the property, and preservation and/or recordation of the sites will be required. The existing Waikoloa Beach Resort Public shoreline access parking and pathways are in place at the south end and in the middle of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, through Lot 2, File Plan 1853. Access is also provided to the northern end of Anaehoomalu Bay along the north side of the Royal Waikoloan Hotel (Lot 8, File Plan 1562). Mauka-makai public accesses, as well as lateral access, to and along the shoreline are already provided within the Waikoloa Beach Resort area. There are no major trails traversing the applicant's property. However, the specific treatment for trails and other features designated for preservation would be determined as part of the archaeological approval process in conjunction with the requirements of the Department of Land and Natural Resources - Historic Preservation Division and other applicable governmental agencies, boards and commissions. The proposed Change of Zone would not expand development in the area. Impacts associated with this four unit development such as historical, visual, traffic, drainage and design concerns have been previously assessed and will be mitigated through conditions of approval. Therefore, the request would not unreasonably burden the public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements and police and fire protection. The infrastructural impacts are the same as previously assessed under the Waikoloa Beach Resort. The proposed zone change would allow for uses which complements the resort use established in this area by the Waikoloa Beach Hotel. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Open (0) to Hotel -Resort (V -2a) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further the public convenience, necessity and general welfare. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-95G, the Puako-Anaehoomalu Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
