Haile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 6 Jan 17,2022 believes that the recommended roadway improvements are appropriate for this commercial zoning; 2) the applicant is currently required to install the same improvements as a condition of approval of the existing Use Permit for the Medical Facility. The applicant agreed with this condition on the record and has confirmed that they would comply with this condition in writing as recently as 2019. If successful, the change to commercial zoning will allow for uses that will draw more pedestrian users of the property (e.g., retail or food truck uses that could draw students from Pahoa High School), thus even more so, this condition remains appropriate to ensure pedestrian access to-tire-property; 3) the sidewalks required under this condition-will be dedicated to the County and will be open to the public at all hours, as opposed to the proposed private walking path that will be closed after business hours that have yet to be defined. County water is available to the property from an existing 8-inch waterline within the Pahoa-Kapoho Road fronting the subject parcel, or an existing 12-inch waterline within the Pahoa-Kalapana Road via two (2), 5/8-inch meters are limited to an average total of 800 gallons per clay. DWS will determine the appropriate water commitment deposit, prevailing facilities charge, appropriate service lateral and meter size required once the applicant provides estimated maximum daily water usage calculations, prepared by a licensed engineer, for each phase of the project. The DWS also requires a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly be installed. Additionally, while the 12-inch waterline provides adequate flow for fire suppression, the 8-inch line does not, thus any improvements required by the Fire Department and/or Department of Water Supply to ensure that fire protection requirements are met shall'be implemented. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. The applicant will install an approved individual wastewater system designed by an engineer,-conforming to the State of Hawai`i, Department of Health requirements. All other essential utilities and services are available to the site. Thus, the proposed use will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide infrastructure. The project has no severe geological or topographical problem which cannot be properly rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The property is situated in Flood Zone "X", which is an area determined by FEMA-To be outside of the 500-year flood plain. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. All solid waste generated by the development will require private disposal at an approved refuse collection facility. Electric and telephone services are available to the property. Police, fire, and medical services are available nearby in Pahoa.
