Mr. Zendo Kern, Planning Director Page 3 of 4 June 28, 2022 Department of Environmental Management(memo dated May 17, 2022) As the scope of the proposed project is to subdivide the subject property into two lots that will each individually accommodate the two existing single-family dwellings, no construction-related activities are proposed and therefore, there will be related construction-related impacts upon the County's transfer stations. Any green waste generated by the existing agricultural activities on the subject property will be disposed of at either the Hilo or Kona Organics Facilities. As previously mentioned, wastewater generated by the existing single-family dwellings are being accommodated within existing septic systems compliant with State Department of Health regulations. Department of Public Works (memo dated June 13, 2022) The proposed requests will involve no intensive or extensive site work or construction activities. The only improvements may be related to the possible relocation of one of the existing water meters. The Applicant does note the need to comply with the County's grading and grubbing regulations should on-site earthwork activities ever occur. Regarding the possible need for new street lights or traffic control devices along Ouli Street, the purpose of these boundary amendment and rezoning requests is to allow for the partition of the subject property into two lots, each of which will accommodate one of two existing homes on the property. No additional homesites are being proposed. Similarly, no new driveway or subdivision road is being proposed. Therefore, as no additional residential uses or site improvements are being contemplated, we find that the imposition of street lights and traffic control devices is excessive and not warranted based on the proposed actions. Fire Department(email dated May 13, 2022) The Fire Department noted that the proposed subdivision must comply with Chapter 26 of the Hawaii County Code. It was, however, not clear as to what specific requirements of the Fire Code is applicable to the proposed project. As the proposed action involves the subdivision of the subject property into two lots, each of which will accommodate an existing single-family dwelling with no associated on-site or off-site infrastructure improvements beyond the possible relocation of an existing water meter, the Applicant believes that the proposed action already complies with applicable Fire Department regulations as expressed in Chapter 26 of the Hawaii County Code. No additional homesites are being proposed and no subdivision road is being created.
