which was completed by ASM Affiliates in September 2020 (P.D. Exhibit 4 — Letter including Archaeological Field Inspection Report from ASM Affiliates dated September 29, 2020). The archaeologists conducted a 100% coverage surface inspection of Parcel 80, where no historic properties were observed. Based on the preceding, the report concluded that the proposed change of zone amendments would have no effect on historic properties. A c6py of the AFI was sent to the State Historic Preservation Division for review under HRS Chapter 6E. As of the date of this writing, neither the applicant nor the Department have received a response. 22. Public Access: There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the properties. 23. Traffic: Witcher Engineering LLP completed a traffic impact analysis report (TIAR) for the proposed project in July 2009. The TIAR analyzed the impacts of the then proposed 100 -unit, market -rate rental housing development on the unsignalized Kapi`olani Street/Kukuau Street intersection, signalized Kapi`olani Street/ Ponahawai Street intersection, and traffic along Kapi`olani and Kukuau Streets. The TIAR concluded that the proposed project will generate 51 a.m. peak hour trips and 63 p.m. peak hour trips and that the proposed driveways will operate at acceptable levels of service for all traffic movements during peak hours for a 20 -year forecast. The TIAR also concluded that the traffic at the study intersections under the 20 -year extrapolation will not be caused by the project, but by the expected increase in background traffic in the area. The applicant submitted a second TIAR with the amendment request that analyzed the impacts of the new, 64 -unit affordable rental housing development on three (3) intersections: 1) Kupukupu Street/Kukuau Street (project access at Kukuau Street); 2) Kapi`olani Street/Kukuau Street; and Kapi`olani Street/Hualalai Street. Based on 2019 counts, existing traffic volumes in the study area were generally light with the studied roadways servicing local traffic only, The study intersections operated satisfactorily during both peak hours of traffic with all movements operating at level of service (LOS) C or better. The TIAR determined that at full build out, the project is projected to generate a total of 32 net external trips during the AM peak hours of traffic, and 42 net external trips during the PM peak hours of traffic. Despite the added traffic, all movements will continue to operate similar to existing conditions at LOS C or better -7-
