of the property located within the other flood designations, other watercourses and drainageways and prescribes requirements for any construction in those areas. (Planning Department Exhibit 2-FEMA FIRM Map) 19. Flora/Fauna Resources: There were no professional flora/fauna surveys conducted of the site. The applicant does not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are likely on the site, as the property has been extensively used for cattle grazing in the recent past. The flora of the site is dominated by kikuya grass with scattered `Ohi`a trees throughout the site. The property is not known to be a habitat for any rare or endangered animal life. 20. Archaeological Resources: Since the property has been historically used for cattle grazing, no commissioned archaeological survey has been conducted. It is expected that no archaeological or historic features exist on the property. By letter dated August 4, 2021, DLNR-State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD)indicated that they have no objections to the proposed time extension, however SHPD indicated that they have insufficient information to determine the potential of the proposed future development project to impact historic properties. Thus, SHPD requests an opportunity to review any permits involving ground disturbing activities related to future development of the subject parcel as well as final plat maps for the proposed subdivision. Based on that review, SHPD may further request that an archaeological field inspection be conducted of the subject parcel by a qualified archaeologist to determine if undocumented historic properties exist in the project area prior to any future ground disturbance. If unrecorded historic properties are present, SHPD will request that an archaeological inventory survey (AIS)be completed prior to initiation of land altering activities. 21. Cultural or Native Gathering Rights: There is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the property, nor existence of any known valued cultural, historical, or native resources in the area. 22. Public Access: There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 23. Access: The property is currently accessed via a single driveway access connection from Mamalahoa Highway to the existing dwelling on the property. Condition D of the subject -4-
