The subject site does not have any critical natural resources, having been <br /> already developed as a residence. The site is designated "X" on the Federal <br /> Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Map. This <br /> designation is assigned to areas outside of the 500 year storm. Furthermore, <br /> there are no known archaeological features or botanical resources on my <br /> property that require protection. <br /> b. Provide connectivity and transportation choices <br /> To the best of my knowledge, Mamalahoa Hwy is not identified for any future <br /> connector road. <br /> c. Provide housing choices <br /> This endeavor is not a housing one. However, in the event of the Special <br /> Permit being approved, we will use it as a B&B and we will continue to retain <br /> the residential use of the house, reserved exclusively for visitor use, which <br /> can then effectively remove the dwelling from the housing inventory. <br /> d. Provide recreation opportunities <br /> Again, this endeavor is not a recreational one. The area where my property is <br /> located in is not a critical resource for recreational opportunities, as it is <br /> not a coastal property nor identified in the CPD as an area necessary for future <br /> recreational purposes. <br /> e. Direct future growth patterns toward compact villages, preserving rural diverse <br /> and historical character <br /> The location of my property is between Honalo and Kahaluu-Keauhou, <br /> approximately 5 miles to downtown Kailua-Kona. My property is right off of <br /> Mamalahoa Hwy on the Mauka side. <br /> f. Provide infrastructure and essential facilities consistent with growth <br /> The basic infrastructure, such as access and water, to support the B&B will not <br /> be a drastic change in consumption and usage. <br /> g. Encourage a diverse and vibrant economy emphasizing agriculture and <br /> sustainable economies <br /> The Land Study Bureau Overall Master Productivity Rating for the area where <br /> my property exists shows "C" as being the closest proximity <br /> classification. This area is considered fair which denotes soil that is moderately deep, <br />
