Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 uses on land zoned RS -7.5. The Ka Waena Lapaau medical office complex is located at the northeastern corner of the Ponahawai Street - Komohana Street intersection on land zoned CN -20. Several of the nearby properties on the south side of Ponahawai Street makai of Komohana Street have been rezoned to RM -4, RM -5.5 and CN -20. The proposed development will be developed in accordance with the Zoning Code, including the requirement to obtain a new Final Plan Approval, which will ensure appropriate on-site parking, drainage and landscaping requirements will be met. In addition, the proposed amendment meets the concurrency requirements of the Zoning Code which address traffic, potable water, and Civil Defense Siren availability (approximately 500 feet from the subject site). According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), County water is available from an existing 12 -inch waterline fronting the property within Komohana Street that is adequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute fire flow for fire protection Per DWS standards. Condition B of the subject Change of Zone ordinance required the applicant to submit anticipated maximum daily water usage calculations to DWS within 180 days of the effective date of the ordinance, however the applicant did not comply with that timeframe. In anticipation of the Change of Zone amendment, the applicant completed water demand calculations and submitted them to DWS for review. Based on the calculations, the proposed project will need a total of 1,835 gpd, or four (4) additional units of water. According to DWS, the applicant would be required to request a wager commitment for the additional units of water and pay the necessary commitment deposit of $600. The applicant will also have to cut and plug the existing 1 -inch service lateral, install a 1 1/2 -inch service lateral and a 1 -inch meter (in lieu of the existing 5/8 -inch meter serving the property), install a fire hydrant within 150 -feet of the subject property, install a reduced pressure type backflow assembly within five (5) feet of the water meter and remit the remainder of the facilities charges for the additional service. As the applicant has complied with the completion and submission of water calculations to DWS as required by Condition B, the Director is suggesting updating the condition to articulate the required timing of the water commitment deposit payment and articulating the need for the applicant to maintain valid water commitments. The applicant also completed a Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) that was approved by the Department of Environmental Management on April 18, 2011 as required by Condition M of the subject Change of Zone ordinance. Based on staff conversations with the DEM -Solid Waste Division, the Director is recommending the retention of this Condition so that DEM has an opportunity to review and update as necessary components of the SWMP prior to receipt of Final Plan Approval for the proposed development or any additional development on the subject property.
