• <br /> There may, however, be short-term noise impacts associated with the <br /> construction of any required infrastructure or dwellings on the <br /> proposed lots. In that event, contractors will be required to comply <br /> with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the State <br /> Department of Health. <br /> The proposed development should not generate any direct air quality <br /> impacts. The only discernible air quality impact could be associated <br /> with the vehicular traffic to and from the site. While there will be an <br /> impact to the ambient air quality, the impact should not be significant, <br /> as the project will increase the density by only one (1) additional unit. <br /> Further, with higher EPA standards for automobile air emissions, the <br /> air quality impact should therefore not be significant. <br /> As such, with the exception of potential construction dust associated <br /> with any future dwelling, the short and long-term dust generated by <br /> the project should be minimal. Construction dust, however, like <br /> construction noise will have to comply with the State Department of <br /> Health's regulations. <br /> J. Scenic and Visual Considerations <br /> In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or <br /> areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed <br /> as a scenic site. However, there were a few examples cited in the <br /> Hilo area, such as Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. <br /> In this situation, the views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa from <br /> Kehaulani St. would not be affected, as the newly proposed lot sits <br /> between existing dwellings and the elevation of the subject parcel is <br /> relatively flat. As such there should be no scenic or visual impact from <br /> the proposed subdivision. <br /> VI. SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. Surrounding Land Uses <br /> The land use in this area is predominantly single-family residential in <br /> character. However there are a wide variety of uses within a one mile <br /> radius of the subject parcel, including churches, schools, restaurants, <br /> fast food outlets, convenience stores, gas stations, personal service <br /> providers and government services. <br /> 9 V <br />
