The following Cultural Resources <br /> Commission's opinions and recommendations are hereby transmitted for your consideration in execution <br /> of the action before you. <br /> 1. Due to the historic and cultural significance of the property,the CRC recommends that the <br /> property be preserved in perpetuity. In the event that this is infeasible,the CRC <br /> recommends the following conditions be required to be completed prior to any development <br /> permit approvals by the County. <br /> a. In order to be integrated into the development design,the CRC recommends <br /> further documentation of lineal descendant and kama'aina knowledge of the <br /> natural and cultural resources of the project area, inclusive of trails. <br /> b. That the applicant,in consultation with the community, amend the current <br /> development plan to include larger open space areas that more sensitively integrate <br /> and protect the natural, historical, and cultural features of the landscape,including <br /> trails and other cultural sites, as well as natural features of the terrain such as <br /> drainage channels, and native plants. <br /> Mahalo for your consideration of the CRC's review.
