Ms. Susan Kunz Y-PS 2.6839 <br /> November 2,2021 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The HRS 201H Application, Exhibit 17. List of Variances/Exemptions lists 2 items,summarized <br /> as follows: <br /> 1. Request for variance from the requirement of 15 feet separation between buildings onsite <br /> to 10 feet. <br /> 2. The Hale Ola O Mohouli Affordable Housing Project includes a new sewer line and the <br /> owners of the adjacent Sunrise Estates are required to connect directly with accessible <br /> sewer lines. The owners that have approved disposal systems would need a variance <br /> from the Department of Environmental Management to retain their systems. <br /> The Hawaii Department of Transportation(HDOT)does not have record of reviewing the <br /> project's Draft Environmental Assessment(dated August 202 1)and the Transportation Impact <br /> Assessment Report(dated November 2020). The HDOT reviewed these documents,as well as <br /> Exhibit 17. List of Variances/Exemptions,provided in the 201H HRS Application,and has the <br /> following comments relevant to State roadways: <br /> 1. No significant direct or direct adverse impact to State highways level of service is <br /> anticipated at project full build-out. No mitigation is warranted or proposed for traffic <br /> conditions on State roadways, based on the following findings: <br /> a. The project trip generation during peak traffic hours would be low. Total trips <br /> generated during the A.M. and P.M.peak traffic hour would be 48 and 68. <br /> b. There are alternative routes to the site that would not involve State roads,which <br /> are located 1 mile or greater from the project site. <br /> 2. The variances requested would have no impact on State highways. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact Jeyan Thirugnanam, Systems Planning Engineer, <br /> Highways Division,Planning Branch at(808)587-6336 or by email at <br /> jeyan.thirugnanam@hawaii.gov.
