As such, with the exception of minimal construction dust during the <br /> construction phase of this project, long term dust generated by the <br /> project should be insignificant. <br /> J. Scenic and Visual Considerations <br /> In the Natural Beauty element of the General Pian, there are sites <br /> or areas listed as scenic resources. The subject site is not listed as <br /> a scenic site. However, the views of the coast and Hualalai <br /> Mountain are indirectly referenced. <br /> From a viewplane perspective, the subject site is situated mauka of <br /> the Hawaii Beit Road and thus coastal views should not be <br /> impacted. Relative to Hualalai Mountain, that Mountain is located <br /> further north and not readily visible from the Highway. <br /> Notwithstanding those circumstances, the height of the proposed <br /> structures will be no taller than 35 feet, the maximum allowed within <br /> the single-family residential zone. This would be less than the <br /> maximum height limit under the existing Agricultural 5-acre zoning <br /> of 45 feet. As such, while the structures will be visible, their visual <br /> impact should not be overly pronounced. <br /> V1. SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. Surrounding Land Uses <br /> The surrounding land uses in this area are a mixture of low to <br /> moderately dense residential, agricultural, and commercial uses. <br /> There are residential subdivisions located generally mauka <br /> (Captain Cook Subdivision) and north and south of the subject <br /> property. There are some commercial uses generally to the south <br /> and north of the subject property fronting the Highway. <br /> The requested zoning would be consistent with the evolving mixture <br /> of commercial and residential land use pattern in this area. <br /> R. Economic Impacts <br /> The requested zoning would have some measure of economic <br /> impact_ as it would provide short-term employment opportunities for <br /> those in the construction and related industries. <br /> The nature of this project (house lots) does not have any direct <br /> long-term economic impact. However, it does have an indirect <br /> impact by providing the needed social infrastructure — housing - to <br /> 10 <br />
