Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 5 Based on the proposed commercial zoning, the Department of Public Works (DPW) recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the subject property's entire Kino`ole Streets frontage consisting of a"full width" concrete sidewalk of ten(10)foot width meeting the requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the approval of DPW. Similar to the water calculation determination above, the Planning Director is recommending a condition requiring the requested sidewalk improvements in the event that a different land use permitted in the CG zoning is established or there is an addition to an existing structure or development on the subject property. The proposed change of zone is not anticipated to generate over fifty trips. The anticipated number of future traffic to the property would not vary from the current use which has five(5) employees who work at the subject property daily with approximately four to six (4-6) clients at one time who visit the subject property five to six (5-6) times per month. Based on the preceding there are no traffic recommendations being made at this time. However, the Director is recommending adding a condition to require a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) should the applicants or their successors develop a use that would exceed 50 peak hour trips in the future. The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The property is located in flood zone "X"which is an area determined by FEMA to be outside the 500-year flood plain. DPW requires that all development generated runoff be disposed of on-site and not be directed toward any adjacent properties. All earthwork activity, including grading and grubbing, will need to conform to Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of the Hawaii County Code. The preceding will be added as condtions of approval. According to the applicant, the subject property is currently connected to a cesspool. The subject property is accessible to the County sewer. The Department of Environmental Management(DEM)has indicated that any existing or new structure is required to connect to the public sewer within 180 days in accordance with Section 21-5 (Sewers) of the County Code. In addition, the Director of DEM may require the applicant to conduct a sewer study in accordance with the then applicable wastewater system design standards prior to approval to connect to the County sewer system. Finally, the applicant shall provide such sewer line or other facility improvements as the Director of DEM may reasonably require,which the sewer study may indicate are advisable for mitigation of impacts of the proposed project. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. According to the application, solid waste will be disposed of the refuse at the county landfill in Hilo and eventually to the West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill. Electrical and telephone services are available to the property. Police and fire services and medical services are available nearby in Hilo.
