subject site is located on the north side of the easement, approximately 700 feet from the entrance to the subdivision. While there is very little school traffic in this area, if necessary, to minimize conflicts with school and commuter traffic, the Applicant will have check ins and check outs after the AM/PM peak hours. Furthermore, the number of guests is limited by the number of bedrooms (3). That should be comparable to families living in this area. As such, the project is not anticipated to generate any significantly adverse traffic impacts on the local roadway system. E. Other Utilities Electrical and telephone services are already available to the site. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. General Description The parcel fronts the private portion of Nani Kailua Road, approximately 700 feet from Hienaloli Road. The subject site is an improved residential lot with extensive ornamental plants. There are considerable ornamental plants and some fruit trees on the subject site. As part of her landscaping efforts, the Applicant intends to introduce more plants and fruit trees that would enhance the stay of her guests. The site is situated at approximately the 850-foot elevation level. The mean annual rainfall in this area ranges between 30 to 70 inches. The wetter months tend to occur between June through September. The mean annual temperature is about seventy-five (75) degrees Fahrenheit, with the warmer months during the summer. Because the site is situated on the leeward side of the island, winds tend to be light and variable. Slight easterly winds occur during the day, while westerly or mountain winds are prevalent during the evenings. B. Soils The topography of the site is fairly level, although it slopes slightly in a mauka (east) to makai(west) direction. The slope is less than five (5) percent. 9
