Heather Kimball, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii November 22, 2024 Page 5 Street is a County -owned and maintained road with approximately 20-foot-wide pavement and 10-foot-wide grassed shoulders within a 40-foot-wide right-of-way and has no sidewalk fronting the subject parcel. East Lanikaula Street is also a County -owned and maintained road with approximately 32-foot-wide pavement and an 18-foot-wide grassed shoulder and no sidewalk fronting the subject property, within a 55-foot-wide right-of- way. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), Engineering Division, all driveway connections and construction shall conform to Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22, County Streets, and that the applicant shall include the provision of adequate sight distances, meeting with the approval of DPW. Additionally, DPW notes that since East Lanikaula Street is an existing collector road, only one driveway access is recommended, with limited right -in and right -out access. Based on subsequent staff conversation with DPW, a full turn movement access from Laukapu Street would also be allowed. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. DPW recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the subject property's Laukapu and East Lanikaula Street frontages consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete sidewalk, drainage improvements and any required utility relocation, meeting with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The improvements shall be located within a 5-foot-wide road widening setback and Laukapu Street and East Lanikaula Street and dedication of the widening and improvements should be at no cost to the County. Finally, DPW recommends that the applicant provide a 20-foot corner radius incorporating the preceding road widening setbacks. While these improvements are usually constructed prior to initiation of a commercial or industrial use on an MCX zoned lot, the applicant requested an extended timeframe to amortize the cost of the improvements over a longer period. In response, the director supports a 5-year timeframe within which the applicant will be required to construct the required roadway improvements and dedicate them to the County. Conditions of approval will be included to address the preceding. According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), the subject parcel is currently served by an existing 5/8-inch meter, which is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons per day. DWS requests that the applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for the proposed use including the total estimated daily water usage in gallons per day and the estimated peak flow in gallons per minute, including irrigation use. Upon receipt of the water usage calculations, if the existing 5/8-inch meter is cannot accommodate the additional estimated demand, a larger or additional meter will need to be installed, and remittance of the prevailing facilities charge will be required. Additionally, DWS notes that the proposed zoning requires the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly, within 5 feet of the meter on private
