A company is planning to open a paragliding business on private land south of the Kalabera Cave and east of the Department of Public Safety\u2019s shooting range in San Juan, Marpi. <\/p>\n
Fortune Pacific Corp.\u2019s proposed project site will be a 15,000-square-meter land on Chalan Kalabera Street owned by Juan C. Reyes.<\/p>\n
Fortune Pacific\u2019s proposed project has no fixed structures but needs only clearing of vegetation at the site, which is zoned as rural.<\/p>\n
The Commonwealth Zoning Board will hear Fortune Pacific\u2019s application for conditional use permit at a public hearing at 5pm today, Thursday.<\/p>\n
In its application, Fortune Pacific estimates the project to cost $50,000.<\/p>\n
Fortune Pacific Corp. has also applied for permits from the Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality and the Division of Fish and Wildlife.<\/p>\n
Fortune Pacific Corp. president Wang Lihang submitted the \u201cconditional use\u201d application before the Zoning Office. Richard Peng is listed as the contact person. <\/p>\n
In response to Saipan Tribune\u2019s inquiry yesterday, Peng said the company decided to select the area in San Juan because it is a safe place for paragliding.<\/p>\n
Peng said the place is also far from the airport, where such activities are not allowed.<\/p>\n
Peng said they are not only targeting Chinese tourists, but also Japanese, Koreans, Russians, and any tourists who are interested in paragliding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
