There has been no flooding or other natural disturbance on the subject site. As such, <br /> there are no environmental restrictions over the use of this site for the requested use. <br /> F.Altering Character of Land <br /> The goal is to retain the general character and ambiance of this area. Further, as there <br /> will be little or no improvements required associated with the requested use, the use should <br /> not result in the significant alteration of the existing character of the area. <br /> G. Unusual Conditions or Trends <br /> In this era of eco-tourism and Edu-tourism, my proposal for a B&B permit fits this <br /> marketing niche. It is an attraction that will serve both locals and visitors who want to learn and <br /> experience more of Hawaii's agricultural industry within a residential/rural/agricultural <br /> environment. <br /> In doing so, it indirectly provides interest and more support for the island's agricultural <br /> products. The increased demand for the product translates to greater economic return for an <br /> important agricultural activity. It also encourages its expansion. <br /> Relative to the B&B, in this era of eco-tourism, places like ours are greatly needed. These <br /> unique types of accommodation rather than resorts or hotels, provide travelers who prefer to <br /> make their own plans, a home away from home feeling. <br /> B&Bs should be considered complementary instead of being regarded as a "threat" to <br /> existing resorts. It should be noted that many operators of B&Bs provide information and island <br /> guides to their guests. A lot of the information provided to the guests are located by the resort <br /> areas, providing more economic benefits for these resorts and hotels. <br />
