burials in place. Finally, on August 12, 2003, SHPD accepted an archaeological <br />Preservation Plan (PP), which included detailed directives regarding short -and long-term <br />protection ad interpretive measures, ownership and management, a maintenance program, <br />and specifications regarding required consultation with SHPD. SHPD has no objections <br />to the applicant's request provided that the conditions of the amendment require that the <br />applicant fully comply with provisions stipulated in the SHPD-approved archeological <br />preservation plan and burial treatment plan. <br />13. Floral/Faunal Resources: The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) dated <br />April 2003 stated that the proposed development is not expected to have a significant <br />negative impact on the botanical resources since -the site is dominated by introduced or <br />alien species. Additionally, the project site is not considered to be an essential habitat for <br />any native terrestrial vertebrate species, and there is no federally designated critical <br />habitat for birds in or near the site. The FEIS states that no direct adverse impacts to <br />native or otherwise important fauna would occur, as the area is almost entirely composed <br />of alien species. <br />14. Public Access: There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or <br />mountain areas that traverses the project area. <br />15. Civil Defense Sirens: There is an existing Civil Defense Siren located at Honok6hau <br />Harbor that covers a small portion of the subject properties in its coverage area. <br />Condition No. 12 of LUC Docket No. A00-073 requires the installation of a solar <br />powered siren in a central location as determined by the County of Hawaii and State <br />Civil Defense agencies. The applicant will install the siren as required by these agencies. <br />PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES <br />16. Access/Traffic Impacts: Until recently, access to the project site was via two (2) mauka- <br />makai roadways with intersections at Queen Ka`ahuimanu Highway. These intersections <br />included a driveway to the existing quarry operation (which has since been closed due to <br />the completion of the South Access Road/Queen Ka`ahuimanu Highway intersection <br />improvements described below) and the existing Honok6hau Street which provides <br />access to the Kaiser Permanente Kona Medical Office along the southern boundary of the <br />-5- <br />
