• • RTE animals that range widely in the Hawaiian Islands will be avoided through adoption of construction-stage mitigation measures that are standard for projects in the State. Coordination by the USDA with the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act will formalize the determination of effects to listed species and the mitigation measures to be adopted. c. Population Trends According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2010,the resident population of Kalaoa in the North Kona district was 9,644 within a land area of 39.48 square miles. There is no information available as to the number of residents within the Iki Place subdivision. The resident population of the North Kona District in 2010 was 37,875. The Hawaii County General Plan 2005 projected the resident population of North Kona would increase to 42,275 by the year 2020,however the recent 2020 US Census reported an actual population of 43,313. The population in the Iki Place subdivision is estimated at approximately 45 persons based 3 persons per home. According to the County of Hawaii Real Property Tax site there are 15 residences within the subdivision. The DWS currently provides water to 15 lots. The Project will provide a 5/8"meter to each lot of record or a total of 18 meters. No further growth is expected which would use the proposed water infrastructure. • d. Community Engagement As previously discussed in Section 1 of this report, community members have requested that this project be undertaken as an improvement district with the help of the Hawaii County Council. The improvement district was created successfully in 2016 with the support of the local council representative at the time and considerable support from many of the lot owners who would directly benefit from the project's success. 3. EXISTING FACILITIES a. Location Map Figure 3.a.1 shows the location of the water meters along Mamalahoa Highway which currently serve the Iid Place subdivision. There are 15 lots within the subdivision and 5 lots outside the lid Place subdivision that are currently being served from meters along this section of Mamalahoa Highway, at its intersection with Kona Church of God Road. The project will involve modifying the existing meter clusters and removing unused meter boxes once new meters have been installed to serve the 15 lots within the subdivision. The remaining 5 meters which serve parcels outside of the lid Place Subdivision will remain in place. • •
