Heather Kimball, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii January 18, 2023 Page 4 In addition, the subject property is located in the Hilo Community Development Plan (HCDP) area as adopted in 1975. The Land Use Concept Map of the RCDP reflects RS-10 and RS-15 zoning for this area, which is consistent with the proposed change of zone for the subject property. All essential utilities and services are available to the site. The subject property is currently accessed via West Kawailani Street, a county-owned and maintained paved roadway within a 40-foot-wide right-of-way fronting the property. The City of Hilo Zone Map proposes a 60-foot-wide future road right-of-way for Kawailani Street in this area, therefore, a 10-foot-wide future road widening strip along the frontage of the subject property will be required. The applicants are proposing access to four of the five proposed lots to be by way of South Kumuwaina Place, also a county-owned and maintained paved roadway, with the fifth lot maintaining current access by way of West Kawailani Street. The Department of Public Works (DPW) notes that all driveway connections and construction within the Kawailani Street and South Kumuwaina Place right-of-way shall conform to Hawaii County Code and access shall meet DPW approval. DPW recommends that the applicants provide improvements to the subject property's Kawailani Street frontage within the established future road widening setback meeting the approval of DPW. Conditions of approval will be added to address the preceding. Given the small scale and scope of the project, a TIAR was not performed. According to the applicants, the proposed change of zone and 5-lot subdivision is expected to generate much less than the 50 peak-hour trip benchmark in the concurrency section of the zoning code. According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), water service can be made available to the subject property from an existing 6-inch waterline along Kumuwaina Place and an existing 8-inch waterline along Kawailani Street. Conditions of approval will require the applicants to pursue and maintain water commitment until such time as the required water facilities charges are paid in full and that final subdivision approval will be subject to compliance with the requirement to construct any necessary water system improvements. The subject property is not currently serviced by the County sewer system. The applicants notes that there is no municipal sewer service to the property and that individual wastewater systems will be necessary for any new residential construction. Any new individual wastewater systems will meet requirements of the Department of Health regulations. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval.
