Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`1 July 25, 2022 Page 5 created roadways will be constructed to County dedicable standards, except for one (1) cul- de-sac, which will be a private road. At this time, the applicant is not proposing to install sidewalks on the interior roadways of the development. Additionally, DPW-Engineering did not require the installation of sidewalks. According to DPW-Engineering Division, connection to Ainaola Drive and Haihai Street will require a County ROW permit in conformance with Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22, County Streets. The Planning Department will add this condition as well as other standard conditions that the applicant comply with the requirements of the Department of Public Works for the interior roadways and any other roadway improvements, including the installation of required street lights and traffic control devices that may be required by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Works, with design, purchase and installation being the responsibility of the applicant. Furthermore, DPW recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the subject property's Ainaola Drive frontage consisting of, but not limited to pavement widening with paved shoulders and swales, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation meeting with the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act. The applicant finds that imposing these improvements will be excessive and impractical due to the presence of a concrete drainage culvert and the intervening State-owned land(TMK: 2-4- 039:002) that makes up approximately fifty percent of the project site's frontage along Ainaola Drive.
