Water, telephone, electricity are provided at the new facility. Police and fire protection are located within four miles from the property. “Further, no valued cultural, historical, native resources, or any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights were practiced in the area. The property has been completely graded. It is also not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. 8
