Subject Properties: The two (2) subject properties are approximately twenty(20) acres <br /> each for a combined land size total of forty(40) acres. Both parcels sit about the <br /> 1,100-foot elevation gradually sloping down towards the east. Parcel 33 is shaped like a <br /> capital letter 'T' with the bottom shortened about two-thirds down, and is currently used <br /> for pasture land. Parcel 34 is a five-sided polygon, and is improved with a single-family <br /> dwelling built in 2007 and is located in the northeastern corner about 300 feet in from <br /> Akolea Road. The remainder of Parcel 34 is overgrown with Wainaku grass. <br /> 11. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Surrounding properties are zoned agricultural <br /> (A-20a and A-3 a) to the north and east across Akolea Road. To the south and west are <br /> properties zoned A-20a. Uses in the immediate area include scattered single-family <br /> dwellings, farm dwellings and agricultural activities. <br /> 12. Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH): The majority of <br /> both properties are identified as "Prime Agricultural Land"with a sliver on each parcel as <br /> "Unclassified". <br /> 13. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: Most of parcel 33 is <br /> classified as "C" or"Fair" for agricultural soil productivity with the length of the <br /> property line parallel to Kaumana Drive as "unclassified." The entirety of Parcel 34 is <br /> classified as "C" or"Fair" for agricultural soil productivity. <br /> 14. U.S.D.A. Soil Survey: Lava flows, pahoehoe (rLW), has been mapped as a <br /> miscellaneous land type. This lava has a billowy, glassy surface that is relatively smooth, <br /> though can be rough and broken in some areas. In areas of higher rainfall, this lava <br /> contributes to the ground-water supply. Kaiwiki silty clay loam, 0 to 10 percent slope <br /> (KaC), is low on the windward side of Mauna Kea. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow <br /> and erosion hazard is slight. Roots can penetrate to a depth of five (5) feet or more. <br /> 15. Flood Zone: According to a February 15, 2018 memo from the Department of Public <br /> Works Engineering Division, a portion of Parcel 33 is in an area designated as Flood <br /> Zone AE on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by the Federal Emergency <br /> Management Agency(FEMA).
