Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i August 12, 2022 Page 4 A-5a. The three properties to the south are vacant and zoned FA-2a. To the north, is the site of two agricultural warehouse structures and zoned A-20a. There are various Special Permits approved in the area, including several processing facilities for papaya, pickled vegetables, fruit and macadamia nut. One is across from the Kea'au HELCO substation and the other is located on the southeast corner of the East Milo Street Extension/Railroad Avenue junction. Access to the project site is from the Kea`au-Pahoa Bypass onto a frontage road, known as the Volcano Road. Volcano Road connects to Shipman Road (formerly Slaughter House Road), a private road, and access to the property is from an extension of Shipman Road to the property via two side by side 25-foot wide road and utility easements located via the flagpole portions of TMK's: 1-6-141:001 and 024 and continue over TMK's: 1-6-141:027 and 028. In 2017, the Department of Public Works did not recommend improvements because access to the property is over private lots with utility and roadway easements. However, due to several of the industrial rezonings previously approved along Milo Street a condition of approval in Change of Zone Ordinance No. 17 65 required the applicant to comply with the standards outlined in the Standard Details R- 33 and R-34 for Public Works Construction prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Standard Detail R-33 identifies the street cross section for business and industrial standards, which is a 60-foot wide right of way with 12-foot wide paved travel lanes, 8-foot wide paved shoulders and 10-foot wide paved drainage swales. The applicant has proposed to amend Condition I's timing trigger for roadway improvements to be Subdivision Approval rather than Certificate of Occupancy. The Planning Director believes that the timing trigger for this condition should be Certificate of Occupancy, for any new structures excluding structures that do not require a certificate of occupancy. Thus, a storage building and utility shed would not trigger it; however a new beverage facility would trigger that improvement for the subject parcel's road and utility easement access. Futherinore, if and when the property is subdivided and/or a condominium property regime (CPR) has occurred, the road improvement requirements of the Subdivision Code would be triggered, which would provide improved shoulders, drainage swales, etc. Lastly, the Planning Director is proposing to remove the Standard Details for Public Works Construction, which is specific and may change if changes are made to DPW's Standard Details or the Subdivision Code and replace it with the following to be added to Condition I"with the requirements of Chapter 23, Hawai`i County Code (Subdivision)." DWS system standards require that a minimum flow of 2,000-gallons per minute for a 2-hour duration and a pipeline velocity of less than 10-feet per second be available at the site for fire protection for industrial land uses.
