residential structures) or final inspections (for residential structures) are issued by the County of Hawaii with respect to any building permits for improvements on any of the subdivided Lots in the property. In support of this proposed amendment, the applicant has submitted an updated TIAR, dated October 2019 for the Pualani Makai Mixed -Use Development project. The amendment request was sent to HDOT but did not specifically ask for HDOT to review the update TIAR. In their comment letter dated January 16, 2020) HDOT recommends that the proposed deletion amendment for Condition E by the applicant be replaced with "An updated Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR), dated October 2019, was prepared for the Pualani Makai Mixed -Use Development and will be provided to HDOT for review and acceptance prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval." HDOT concurred with the second addition to Condition E as well as the amendment to Condition F. According to the .updated TIAR all traffic movements at the Pualani Makai access intersections on Route 11 and Kuakini Highway are expected to operate at acceptable Levels of Service (LOS) at the full buildout and occupancy of the proposed development. Staff notes that the TIAR suggests that beyond the Year 2024, the left -turn movements from Hualalai Road and from Kuakini Highway onto Route 11 are expected to deteriorate to worse than acceptable LOS due to the overall growth in regional traffic. This may be remedied by proposed future widening of the bounding highways by HDOT, however those plans have yet to be finalized. The Hawaii County Dept. of Public Works (DPW) recommends that access to Kuakini Highway shall align with the opposing entry to Kahakai Estates Subdivision or the applicant shall coordinate with the developer of the Sunstone Development located nearby so that the access to both developments are opposing each other on Kuakini Highway. Site access is proposed at the existing signalized intersection of Queen Ka` ahumanu Highway (Route 11) and Puapua` anui Street. Access is also proposed via a new mauka-makai roadway between Queen Ka`ahurnanu Highway and.Kuakini Highway, hereinafter referred to as the "Spine Road". The Spine road will be stop -controlled at its four -legged intersection with Kuakini Highway, opposite Akukui Drive, and will be the primary access point from Kuakini Highway. Access shall meet the approval of the DPW and shall have the provision of adequate sight distances. -7-
