Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 sewer system in the area. Therefore, wastewater generated by the proposed subdivision is proposed to be handled by means of individual cesspools or septic tanks meeting with the Department of Health. Solid waste generated by the development would be collected and disposed in compliance with applicable Federal, State and County rules and regulations. The nearest transfer station is located in Honomu, approximately one mile from the project site. All other essential utilities or services are or will be made available to the project site. The project site has no severe topographic or geologic problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable for [he proposed agricultural use. The project area had been extensively altered from the previous sugarcane cultivation. Therefore, significant archaeological sites are not anticipated to be located within the project area. Similarly, the project area is not considered a habitat for rare or endangered species of plants or animals. Based on the above findings, approval of the change of zone request from A-20a [o A-l0a zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and welfare of the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-113, the South Hilo District Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the application, revised request and copies of the staff background and updated background for your information. Sincerely, Kevin M.
