Walua Partners, LLC.: Special Management Area Use Permit Application <br /> • The County of Hawaii should require users of the natural resources to <br /> conduct their activities in a manner that avoids or minimizes adverse <br /> effects on the environment. <br /> • Encourage the use of native plants for screening and landscaping. <br /> A primary goal of the Hawaii County General Plan section on Natural Resources and Shorelines <br /> is to "protect and conserve the natural resources of the County of Hawaii from undue <br /> exploitation, encroachment and damage". Alterations to the existing landforms should cause <br /> minimal adverse impact to water resources, scenic and recreational amenities. It is the policy of <br /> the Hawaii County General Plan to protect the shoreline from the encroachment of man-made <br /> improvements and structures. It is also the General Plan's policy to encourage the protection of <br /> unique habitats, wildlife species, and important agricultural lands. The proposed development <br /> is 500 feet from the shoreline and will not result in any adverse impact on the shoreline <br /> resources.
