If approved the site would be subdivided in a manner generally meeting with both the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. Notwithstanding thesubdivision requirements, all uses and standards consistent with the requested RS-10 zone would be adhered to. E. Relationship to SMA Objectives and Policies The site is not located within the County Special Management Area (SMA). No SMA Use Permit is required. However, as the entire island falls within the Coastal Zone Management (CZM)Area, a discussion of the request's relationship to the CZM Program follows. The site is not adjacent to the ocean. It is more than two and half(2.5) miles from the shoreline. As such, the proposed action should not have any adverse impact on the area's coastal recreational and marine resources nor have any impact on beach protection. The likelihood of this improvement having any impact to the area's historic resources in not high.The site was previously bulldozed by the applicant and/or its predecessor for residential use. In the event any archeological features are found during any earth disturbance activity,work will stop within the affected area and appropriate clearances from the State DLNR-HPD and County Planning Department will be secured before work resumes. If needed, and archeological monitoring program can be instituted during any land clearing activity. The proposed action will eventually involve the construction of improvements (particularly dwelling unit) in urban setting.Accordingly,there is a potential visual impact to the area's scenic and open space resources. However,the project would involve the construction of, at most, a two (2) single-family dwelling on the proposed additional lot. Relative to the Coastal Ecosystems impact should be negligible, if at all, as the site is located well over two and half(2.5) miles from the ocean. Notwithstanding the distance,the nature of the project—Residential—and the construction of only two (2) new private wastewater systems is such that any potential coastal ecosystem impacts should pot be found. The proposal action will result in creating the potential for Residential lots in area. This should thus provide additional opportunities for housing. In so doing,the project could air the general economy and the overall economic use of this site and the area in general. Because of its distance from the shoreline,the site should not be subject to coastal hazards. Relative to the managing development objective, this function is more applicable to the "authority" or approved agencies. However, it is noted that the request would operate and be constructed within the scope of the Zoning Code.The subject site would be zoned RS-10 and requested use and design/parameters (parking, height,setback, etc.)would be consistent with said zoning. In that regard, the project would be consistent with this policy. Finally, in terms of the public participation objective,this is generally a public agency function.This is achieved through the Marine and Coastal Zone Management Advisory Group (MACZMAG) and the public hearing process required pursuant to the Planning Commission's Rules and County Council's meeting on this application. Notices of this application will become available through the posting of a sign on the property,as well as Original: Miroslav Neskovic Copies: Patriot Pacific Partners i -
