Subject Property Description The subject site, identified as TMK (3) 1-5-040: 205, consists of 1-acre of land zoned Agricultural 1-acre (A-M). The parcel is located on 24'Avenue within the Hawaiian Paradise Park(HPP) subdivision, approximately 150 feet north of its intersection with Paradise Drive. Access to the subject parcel is from 24th Avenue (Ohe Avenue), which is a paved road maintained by the Hawaiian Paradise Park Homeowner's Association. The entire HPP subdivision lies within Lava Zone 3, on a scale ranging from 9 to 1 (least hazardous to most). The site is approximately 3 miles from the coastline and is not within the Conservation District or Special Management Area. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) designates this land as rural(Figure 3), and the Land Study Bureau (LSB) classifies the soils as "E" (very poor) (Figure 4). The U.S. Department of Agricultural Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) has designated the property's soil as Keaukaha highly decomposed plant material (2k11d)with 2 to 10 percent slopes. This soil type is made from organic material over pahoehoe lava flows. It is considered well-drained, has a high runoff class, and is not considered prime farmland. The subject property was previously cleared and graded after the applicant purchased it in 2017. The site was graded to provide a lower area on the eastern property line, which borders 24th Avenue, to be used for the general parking lot. The proposed pavilion, and covered decks are proposed to occur on the elevated portion of the property. 8
