This principle is marginally, if at all, pertinent. The project is not a <br /> housing one. However, its continued use as a B&B for the <br /> Applicant will continue to retain the residential use of the house <br /> and unlike an TAR reserved exclusively for visitor use, which can <br /> then effectively remove the dwelling from the housing inventory. <br /> d. Provide recreation opportunities. <br /> Again, this project is not a recreational one per se. Nevertheless, <br /> this site is not a critical resource for recreational opportunities, as it <br /> is not a coastal property nor identified in the CPD as an area <br /> necessary for future recreational purposes. <br /> e. Direct future growth patterns toward compact villages, preserving <br /> Kona's rural, diverse and historical character. <br /> The location of this site is proximate and somewhat within the town <br /> of Kailua, and within the Kona Urban Area of the Kona CDP. As <br /> such, the proposed project would be consistent with this principle. <br /> f. Provide infrastructure and essential facilities consistent with <br /> growth. <br /> The basic infrastructure, such as access and water, to support the <br /> B&B already exits. <br /> g. Encourage a diverse and vibrant economy emphasizing <br /> agriculture and sustainable economies. <br /> The Land Study Bureau Overall Master Productivity Rating-for the <br /> subject site appears to have two (2) classifications — "C" (C-73) or <br /> fair and "D" (D-293 or poor. The "C" classification suggests that <br /> the site is fair for productivity capacity for agricultural crops, while <br /> the "D" suggests poor or limited productivity capacity. <br /> The "C" classification denotes soils of the Kainaliu series, with <br /> moderately deep, fine soil material. The color is very dark brown, <br /> and the parent material is volcanic ash, with outcrops of <br /> Pahoehoe. This type of soil is well drained and very poorly suited <br /> for machine tillability. <br /> 5 <br />
