There are no identified recreational resources, historic <br /> resources, public access to the shoreline or mountain areas, scenic and open space <br /> preserves, coastal ecosystems, marine resources, or other natural and environmental <br /> resources in the area. Thus, the proposed request and use of the property will not <br /> adversely impact those resources. <br /> It is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or <br /> fauna are located within the special permit area because the subject property has been <br /> cleared and developed. Presently, there is no evidence of any traditional and customary <br /> Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site,nor existence of known valued <br /> cultural, historical, or native resources in the area.

In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" <br /> and "Ka Pa`akai O Ka`Aina" decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering <br /> and fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural <br /> resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: <br /> -7- <br />
