are two coastal wetland areas that contain sensitive resources including fish and bird species. The surrounding area parcels are vegetated with various trees and shrubs including kukui nut, areca palm, coconut palm, Swiss cheese plant, ironwood, African tulip, gunpowder tree, and albizia, however, the subject parcel is primarily short, maintained grass. 31. Archaeological Resources: Although no commissioned archaeological survey of the site was conducted it is highly unlikely that any historic sites will be found on the property as the parcel has been previously cleared and completely graded. The SHPD did not provide comments on the proposed project under the review via HRS Ch. 6E-42. 32. Cultural/Historic Resources: All proposed improvements will be located a considerable distance from the shoreline park, coastal wetlands, and other cultural resources. Therefore, no impacts to traditional shoreline uses or the shoreline park are anticipated by this action. It is not known whether the subject site or immediately surrounding area was ever used for traditional and customary rights by native Hawaiians. As the project area has been previously cleared and much of the surrounding area has been used extensively for residential use for many years, it would appear very unlikely that the site would serve such a purpose today and/or in the recent past. 33. Recreational Resources: The subject parcel is located approximately 1000 feet from the shoreline and is near the entrance to the Onekahakaha Beach park which permits fishing, gathering, and swimming. There is no public access through the subdivision and the proposed project will not impact or affect access to the beach park. 34. Scenic and Open Space Resources: Onekahakaha Beach Park is identified as a valued scenic resource in the County General Plan. Vehicular access to the park is located roughly 350 feet north of the subject property whereas the shoreline area is approximately 0.2 7
