disposed of in two separate septic systems, one for the farm dwelling, and another for the caretaker's cottage and barn. Electrical and communications ducting will be buried in trenches along the Site's driveways. There will be no above ground utility lines. The Site has been grazed for approximately three decades, and there is existing fencing at various locations on the Site. In order to effectively manage cattle production, additional fencing is required up to the boundaries of the 40-foot Shoreline Setback area. The fence will be placed no closer than 40 feet from the certified shoreline. It should be noted that a survey is currently in the process of being prepared and upon its completion, a request for its certification will be submitted. The fence would be constructed only upon receipt of the certified shoreline. A cross fence situated 40 feet from the edge of the pali would connect the three side boundary fences (refer to Exhibit 11). A cross fence along the mauka boundary of the Shoreline Setback area would involve approximately 1,820 feet of new fencing in addition to existing cattle fences. There will also be fencing to manage pasturing to avoid overgrazing, a paddock to facilitate loading/unloading of stock, and fences to protect field crops and gardens from cattle and feral pigs. IV. Regulatory Considerations As shown on Exhibit 12, Regulatory Constraints Map, there are three "zoning" designations that constrain development of the Site: - Shoreline Setback(40 feet from the shoreline/pali); - State Conservation District(area including the shoreline/pali; overlaps with the Shoreline Setback) - Special Management Area (overlaps with both the Shoreline Setback and the State Conservation District) It is the Applicant's intention to avoid development within the Shoreline Setback and State Conservation District, except where cattle fencing may be required to ensure the safety of lateral pedestrian access along the makai (pali) edge of the Site (and within the Shoreline Setback area). Two options for fencing are addressed in Exhibit 11, and were presented to the Planning Department in informal discussions. The Planning Department prefers a cross fence situated 40 feet from the edge of the pali that would connect the three side boundary fences and would involve approximately 1,820 feet of new fencing with the SMA. As previously mentioned, in addition to the cattle fencing the Applicant proposes the following uses within the Site (Exhibit 13), some of which will occur within the SMA: 3
