Pond to the Old Airport State Recreation Area, extending through the makai-side of the <br /> subject parcel. The shoreline is characterized by lava rock, tidal pools, and some white <br /> sand. The shoreline is frequented by fishers, swimmers, sunbathers, and hikers. Kona Bay <br /> Estates is a private community, but public access to the shoreline is directed through the <br /> makai-side of a public baseball and football field north of the subject parcel. The nearest <br /> public access from the subject parcel to the walking path in Kona Bay Estates is available <br /> via a shoreline access point nine parcels east of the subject parcel. Additionally, public <br /> access to the walking path is available from the Old Airport State Recreation Area one <br /> parcel west of the subject parcel. The shoreline access points and shoreline walking path <br /> will not be impacted by the proposed project. <br /> Historic Resources: <br /> Objective: To protect, preserve, and, where desirable, restore those natural and <br /> manmade historic resources in the coastal zone management area that are significant in <br /> Hawaiian and American history and cultural. <br /> Policies: (i) Identify and analyze significant archaeological resources. <br /> The subject parcel has undergone previous archeological and cultural analysis and <br /> research by professional archeologists to determine the presence and significance of <br /> historic sites in this area. The most recent cultural analysis concluded that there would be <br /> no effect on any cultural, or historic sites or uses, and that no sites or features were <br /> identified (primarily due to the lack of soil,vegetation, and previous grading activities). <br /> Scenic and Open Space Resources: <br /> Objective: Protect, preserve, and, where desirable, restore or improve the quality <br /> of coastal scenic and open space resources. <br /> Policy: (iii) Preserve, maintain, and, where desirable, improve and restore <br /> shoreline open space and scenic resources. <br /> The proposed project site is minimally visible from the vantage point of the public <br /> highway, since the view from the highway towards the project site would be hindered by <br /> the Outdoor Hockey Rink at the Old Airport State Recreation Area as well as tall trees <br /> beyond it. The proposed project will not impact scenic or open space resources. The <br /> proposed use of a single-family residence is consistent with the other homes along this <br /> -5- <br />
