landscaping to screen the property and has been designed to avoid scenic view <br /> impacts to the shoreline and Reeds Bay. No building will exceed 23 feet in height <br /> and will be consistent with the surrounding development such as the Suisan <br /> Building and the SCP Hilo Hotel. <br /> 19. Archaeological/Historical/Cultural Resources: Although no commissioned <br /> archaeological survey was completed,it is highly unlikely that any historic, archaeological, <br /> or cultural resources are present on the subject parcel as it has a history of commercial <br /> development and has been cleared and graded previously under an approved SMA Permit. <br /> 20. Floral/Faunal Resources: Although no professional surveys were conducted on the <br /> subject parcel, it is not anticipated to house any rare floral or faunal resources. The site has <br /> been fully cleared and developed commercially for many years. Minimal flora exists on <br /> the parcel due to the existing commercial development. The site is mainly mowed "grass" <br /> and pavement. A few ornamental species from the subject property along Kalaniana`ole <br /> Street including ti and hapu'u, as well as a few palms present on the corners of the parcel. <br /> Further, the urban and industrial nature of the surrounding areas would make it less likely <br /> to find endangered animal life, but without any tall trees and native vegetation there is no <br /> suitable habitat. <br /> 21. Public Access: There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or <br /> mountain areas that traverses the project area. <br /> 22. Civil Defense Sirens: There is one (1) Civil Defense siren in the immediate area, located <br /> at the corner of Kamehameha Avenue and State Route 11, which is approximately 575 feet <br /> from the subject parcel. <br /> PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES <br /> 23. Access: Access to the project site will be from Kalaniana`ole Street and Kamehameha <br /> Avenue, with each access driveway having an entrance and exit. <br /> 24. Traffic: No Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) was completed as the applicant <br /> believes the 21 peak hour trip count does not meet the threshold for a traffic study. The <br /> subject site currently generates traffic to serve the existing restaurants and retail shops <br /> located on the property. The proposed action is not expected to cause any significant <br /> increase in traffic impacts based on the proposed change of use to a car dealership. <br /> 4 <br />
