shoreline as of August 3, 2021 (Planning Department Exhibit 2 — Shoreline <br /> Certification Dated August 3,2021). <br /> DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA <br /> 13. Subject Property: The subject parcel is relatively level due to extensive grading <br /> associated with the development of the subdivision and the construction of low rock <br /> walls along the property boundaries. The surface of the property consists of thin soil <br /> accumulation, with sand, coral, marine shell, cobbles, and exposed bedrock outcrops <br /> within portions of the buildable area. No vegetation is present on the parcel. Modern rock <br /> walls are present along the northern, eastern, and western boundaries of the parcel that <br /> were built to delineate parcel lines for the Kona Bay Estates Subdivision. There is a <br /> concrete "sidewalk" (rock wall) within a 4-ft. wide easement for public shoreline access. <br /> Additionally, Kona Bay Drive extends through the subject parcel within the mauka-side <br /> road and utility easement. The subject property is located west of the Old Kona Airport <br /> State Recreation Area within a previously developed, gated subdivision within the Kona <br /> Bay Estates in Kailua-Kona. The property is bounded to the west by a developed <br /> residential parcel, to the north by Kona Bay Drive, to the east by an undeveloped <br /> residential parcel and to the south by a low pahoehoe rock shoreline bench and the ocean. <br /> 14. Surrounding Land Zoning/Uses: The subject parcel is bounded to the east and west by <br /> similarly sized and RS-15 zoned parcels in the Kona Bay Estates subdivision, to the south <br /> by the coastline, and to the north by Kona Bay Drive and the Old Kona Airport State <br /> Recreation Area (zoned limited industrial; ML-20). <br /> 15. Soil Type: The ground surface in this area consists of a thin soil layer, predominately <br /> accumulated via previous clearing and grading of the parcel. The soil designation for this <br /> area is "Lava Flows (2-20% Slope)" which indicates little soil development and little <br /> vegetative cover. <br /> 16. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: The project site is listed <br /> as unclassified. <br /> 17. Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System: The <br /> project site is listed as "unclassified" on the ALISH Map. <br /> 18. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM): The subject property is designated as Zone D and <br /> -3- <br />
