11. Flora/Fauna Resources: A biological reconnaissance of the property was conducted on September 18, 2011, which found no threatened or endangered floral or faunal species but recommended certain mitigations to avoid potential impacts to Hawaiian hoary bats. 12. Archaeological/Cultural/Historical Resources: No archaeological inventory survey was prepared as the property has been developed for residential use since 1923. By letter dated November 2, 2011, the Department of Land and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) determined that the dwelling on the property had lost any historic integrity due to disrepair and the structure has since been removed. 13. Public Access: There is no designated public access to the mountain or shoreline through the property. UTILITIES AND SERVICES 14. Access: Access to the property is from Kino`ole Street, a two-lane County-owned and maintained roadway with a pavement width of approximately 24 feet within a 55-foot- wide right-of-way. The General Plan identifies Kino`ole Street as a major collector street, requiring a minimum 60-foot right-of-way. As part of a shoulder improvement project completed in 2006, the county acquired an additional 5-foot right-of-way along the property's frontage to provide a paved shoulder and guardrail. 15. Water: County water is available from a 6-inch waterline within Kino`ole Street. The subject property is served by a 5/8" meter, limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. According to comments regarding the rezone to RM-3 zoning, the Department of Water Supply noted that depending on the needs of development on the property, a service lateral and additional meter may be required. 16. Wastewater: There is no County sewer system servicing this area, and the closest County sewer line is located along Kawili Street, about 1,100 feet south of the subject property. Thus, any new dwelling or similar improvements will require a wastewater system meeting the approval of the Department of Health (DOH). 17. Solid Waste: There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. All solid waste generated by the subject property will require private disposal at the Hilo landfill. 18. Utilities and Services: Electric, cable, and telephone services are available to the property. Police, fire, and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. -3-
