Objectives <br /> • Discourage urban growth and further subdivision on lands that have been <br /> identified as having agricultural value. <br /> While the General Plan does identify the subject property for <br /> extensive agricultural activities, its small size and location between a public <br /> road and the ocean precludes its use for extensive agricultural activities. As <br /> such, the proposed subdivision should not have an adverse impact on the <br /> agriculture industry since the location, size and soil conditions do not present <br /> the subject property as having any significant agricultural value. <br /> 3. Social Services and Housing <br /> As this is not a social service or more affordable housing project, this <br /> section is not applicable. <br /> 4. Public Safety and Sanitation Services <br /> Public safety services are available Pahoa. All solid waste generated <br /> by the project will be disposed of at either the transfer station in Pahoa or at <br /> the Hilo Transfer Station. No sewer system exists in the subject area, and the <br /> Applicant will comply with Department of Health requirements regarding <br /> proper wastewater disposal methods. <br /> 5. Parks and Recreation <br /> This section is not applicable, as the project would have no direct <br /> impacts on parks. Nonetheless, the Applicant will provide a public pedestrian <br /> shoreline access to ensure public access to coastal recreational resources. <br /> 6. Energy Sustainability <br /> While the proposed subdivision has access to the electrical grid, it will <br /> be up to the individual homeowners whether they wish to live off-grid or rely <br /> upon the utility for its electrical needs. <br /> The third theme is Transportation. As a small 5-lot residential and agricultural <br /> subdivision, the goals and polices of this theme is not applicable to this project. <br /> However, the proposed subdivision will occur within the established Kaimu-Makena <br /> Homestead community within a residential area having lot sizes ranging from 5,300 <br /> 15IPage <br />
