The Applicant's request would meet this definition of a lodge, not only in terms of its <br /> amenities but size (less than 40 guest rooms). <br /> Should the request be approved, subsequent "ministerial" or administrative type of <br /> permits such as Plan Approval, if needed, will be complied with. <br /> E. Special Management Area <br /> As the subject site falls within the Special Management Area, a SMA permit is <br /> required. A discussion of the project's relationship to the Coastal Zone Management <br /> policies is discussed below in Chapter VII. <br /> VI. INFRASTRUCTURE & OTHER LAND USE CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. Access <br /> Access to the Retreat is from Akoni Pule Highway by way of Maluhia Road. This road <br /> was improved from an old cane road to a 20-foot wide gravel and asphalt road with <br /> approval from Department of Public Works, Engineering Division and the State <br /> Department of Transportation. The 20-foot wide asphalt road continues along old Pratt <br /> Road and onto graveled Lokahi Road to the Retreat. <br /> B. Government Services <br /> There shall not be any public service type of impacts. This area is already serviced by <br /> police and fire facilities, located within two (2) miles of the subject area. The project's <br /> location should thus not result in an extension of any of these public services. <br /> C. Socio-Economic Impacts <br /> During the past 13 years, the Retreat has hosted smaller community fundraiser events. <br /> It has a full-time staff of seven (7) and three (3) part-time staff. There are also organic <br /> agriculture interns working on property. These additional units will generate at least an <br /> additional four (4) or five (5) housekeeping staff. <br /> D. Agricultural Impact <br /> As previously mentioned under "Project Concept"the Special Use permit requires <br /> Inclusion of Agriculture. There is now 3+ acres of the designated retreat area for <br /> growing fruits, vegetables, Ti, plumeria groves, medicine plants, herbs and flowers. <br /> Within the 14.5 acres of TMK:5-4-09:14 there is also agriculture use of pasturage for <br /> cattle, orchards of banana, citrus, breadfruit, and mango, <br /> As indicated on the site plan (Figure 3), the additional hale will be sited adjacent to and <br /> incorporated into the current gardens and orchards. The orchards consists of mango, <br /> bananas, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, lilikoi, Ti and organic vegetable gardens. The <br /> additional units will be sited in a manner that would not impact the orchards and <br /> gardens. <br /> 10 <br />
