subject site would be converted from a single-family residential to office <br /> use. Should that occur, all land use and development codes such as <br /> parking, landscaping, fire, ADA. and the like would be complied with. <br /> G. Other Permitting Considerations <br /> The site is not located within the County Special Management Area <br /> (SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required. <br /> However, other construction-related permits would still be required. <br /> These would be of the "ministerial" variety, such as Plan Approval, <br /> building permit, driveway permit, and health clearances. <br /> V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. General Description <br /> The combined area of the 22,300 square foot site is rectangularly- <br /> shaped. It has a width of 100 feet fronting Kalanikoa Street, while the <br /> frontage along Kekuanao'a Street is 220+ feet. There is a vacant single- <br /> family dwelling near the rear of the site. As noted earlier, the existing <br /> residential structure will be converted into an office and an improved <br /> parking area would be constructed. The subject site has been fully <br /> improved and used for two (2) residences. Since the second dwelling <br /> was demolished, the landscaping of that area has been integrated into <br /> the area with the dwelling. There is a lawn fronting both streets, as well <br /> as several citrus trees on the subject. <br /> B. Climate, Soil and Topography <br /> According to the State Commission on Water Resource Management, <br /> the nearest rain gauge in this area is the Hilo Airport. The rainfall data of <br /> this gauge notes that over the past 37 years, the annual median rainfall <br /> for this area was 131.1 inches. The wetter months tend to occur <br /> between October through April. The average daily temperature ranges <br /> from a minimum of 51 degrees to a maximum of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. <br /> Wind patterns are generally trade winds (easterly) during the day and <br /> westerly or mountain winds during the evenings. <br /> The site is fairly level. There are no perceptible topographic or geologic <br /> constraints. It sits at approximately the 75-foot elevation level. <br /> Being within a heavily urbanized area, the Land Study Bureau Overall <br /> Master Productivity Rating does not have any classification for this site. <br /> Likewise, the site is not classified under the Agriculture Lands of <br /> Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) classification system. Thus, <br /> 4 <br />
