In response to <br /> these comments,we note the following: <br /> a. The Police Department noted that it"does not anticipate any significant traffic and/or <br /> public safety concerns"; <br /> b. The Solid Waste Division of County Department of Environmental Mans eg ment had <br /> no comments. The Wastewater Division however, noted that the project may be <br /> required to install a dry sewer lateral for a future connection to Kilauea Avenue. The <br /> applicant has no objections to having its project connect to a sewer line to Kilauea <br /> Avenue whenever it becomes available. Since connection is already mandated for <br /> properties fronting a sewer line, the applicant does not believe that the premature <br /> construction of a dryline is warranted. There are 3 factors that could require the <br /> applicant to install a new lateral. For one, it could deteriorate over time due to non- <br /> use or other factors. Then,too,the construction standards/material may change over <br /> time. Finally,the point of connection at Kilauea Avenue may change. <br /> c. The Department of Public Works, En ineering Division had no objections to the <br /> request. <br /> d. The Department of Water Supply noted that the existing service is sufficient to <br /> accommodate the project. As such, a water commitment deposit is not required. This <br /> would thus make the requested amendment moot, and the applicant would have no <br /> objections to either having this condition deleted or withdrawing this portion of the <br /> extension request,provided that your office deem this requirement fulfilled. <br /> e. The State Department of Health noted-that the site is located close to the County <br /> sewer system and notes that"all lots in the proposed project shall connect to the <br /> County sewer system." (Emphasis added) There are several things to note. For one, <br /> this is not a subdivision but a project. If it were a subdivision, Section 23-85(a)of the <br /> Subdivision Code requires lots within a proposed subdivision connect to a public <br /> _ system within 300 feet of the property. Even if it were, the nearest line is located at <br /> g^, r Kawili Street, which is located more than 300 feet from the site. Subsection(b notes <br /> Mt. 6 <br /> , <br /> A 101 ..e <br />
