11. Special Management Area (SMA): The project is located within the Special <br /> Management Area and therefore, the proposed development is subject to the SMA <br /> review. <br /> DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREAS AND SURROUNDING AREA <br /> 12. Subject Project Area: The 31,363 square foot subject property is relatively flat, as it has <br /> been developed with a single-family dwelling and related improvements and was <br /> previously graded to accommodate the previous development. There are existing storage <br /> structures and a water catchment system that will be demolished, and an existing concrete <br /> pad that will be utilized for the new development. The property is located at the corner of <br /> Ala Heiau Rd. and Beach Rd. and is bordered by the ocean on the makai side. Vegetation <br /> of the property includes non-native ironwoods, albizia, and other typical coastal <br /> vegetation; some native naupaka, also common in this area, is present. The property is <br /> between three (3) and six (6) feet above sea level with the makai property boundary <br /> bounded by an existing legally non-conforming rock wall structure. <br /> 13. Surrounding Land Zoning/Uses: The surrounding area is residential or undeveloped <br /> residential parcels, with all surrounding parcels also within the County's A-la zoning <br /> designation. Immediately makai of the subject parcel is the ocean, and both Ala Heiau <br /> Rd. and Beach Rd. border the parcel. <br /> 14. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM): The property is predominately within Flood Zone <br /> X, or outside of the 500-year flood plan. A small portion of the shoreline is located within <br /> Flood Zone VE (areas subject to a 1% annual chance of inundation by a 100-year flood <br /> event with additional hazards associated with storm induced wave action). The proposed <br /> development will be within Flood Zone X. <br /> 15. Sea Level Rise: According to the State of Hawaii Sea Level Rise Viewer (SLR-Xa), the <br /> coastal portion of the subject parcel is within the 3.2 ft. Sea Level Rise Exposure Area, <br /> the 3.2 ft. Passive Flooding area, and the Coastal Flood Hazard Zone. <br /> 16. Flora/Fauna Resources: The applicant did not complete a "biotic" survey of the subject <br /> parcel; however, they do not believe that any rare, threatened, or endangered floral or <br /> faunal resources are likely to be found within the project parcel. Several non-native trees <br /> such as ironwood and albizia are located on the property, none of which require <br /> -3- <br />
