- a farm dwelling; <br /> - a caretaker's cottage 1; <br /> - a greenhouse for the cultivation of crops; <br /> - orchards <br /> - field crops and gardens <br /> - an individual wastewater system for residential use; <br /> - a barn; <br /> - a water tank and utility lines; <br /> - paved and gravel driveways; <br /> - landscaping; and <br /> - small-scale renewable energy systems for use in agricultural activities. <br /> The proposed described development will cost over$500,000; therefore it is <br /> acknowledged that a Major SMA Permit will be required. <br /> V. Public Access to the Shoreline <br /> To portray current public access to shoreline resources, Exhibit 14 was prepared. <br /> According to the County of Hawaii Public Access to the Shoreline(1979), the <br /> shoreline conditions between Honoka`a Landing and Pd'auhau Landing are <br /> described as "Cliffs over 20 feet." This is shown at the top of Exhibit 14. <br /> Interestingly, in John R. K. Clark's Beaches of the Big Island, he notes that: "Along <br /> the rugged coast from Hilo to Waipio, Laupahoehoe is the best of the few places <br /> where canoes can land safely..." In fact,he describes no beaches between <br /> Laupahoehoe and Waipi`o. <br /> Currently fisherman use the pali fronting the Site. As discussed further in Section VI. <br /> C. below, Haun& Associates conducted an archaeological inventory survey (AIS) of <br /> the Site. The AIS documented evidence of the modern use of the Site along the pali. <br /> This consists of three clusters of modern features ("Modern I", "Modern 2" and <br /> "Modern 3" as shown on Exhibit 14) located in the seaward portion of the parcel, <br /> consisting of mounds and terraces potentially used as sitting areas, fire pits, fishing <br /> pole holders and a concentration of mortared bricks, likely created and used by local <br /> fisherman (Exhibit 20). These three clusters of modern features provide evidence of <br /> the current cultural practice of fishing. <br /> As shown on Exhibit 14, in the general vicinity,the public accesses the shoreline <br /> (pali) near the Site via Kia Manu Road(the County Planning Department refers to <br /> this road as "Makalae Road"), and a loop road that encircles the Honoka`a <br /> Wastewater Treatment Plant(HWWTP). Historically, Kia Manu Road extended to <br /> 'It is acknowledged that an"Additional Farm Dwelling Agreement(AFDA)Application"form must be <br /> completed and submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval. <br /> 4 <br />
