The Honorable Chairman Holeka Goro Inaba and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii December 23, 2024 Page 4 Access to the project site is currently from Kekuanao`a Street to the existing single-family dwellings on Parcel 66 and from Hinano Street for Parcels 78 and 79. Condition G of Ordinance No. 06-114 prohibits access from Kekuanao`a Street once the single-family dwellings are demolished. Access to Parcels 78 and 79 will be from Laukapu Street and access to Parcel 66 will be from Hinano Street. Roadway conditions D, E, and F will be amended as requested to reflect timing of roadway improvement requirements associated with further development of the properties prior to occupancy. To be consistent with the concurrency requirements of the Zoning Code, a condition of approval will require submittal of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) if a land use is developed that would generate over 50 peak hour trips. The applicant will be responsible for constructing any improvements identified in the TIAR required by the Department of Public Works. Electricity and telephone, fire, police, and emergency medical services are all available to the site nearby in Hilo. Based on the preceding, the proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide for infrastructure and utilities to the project site. In their amendment request letter, the applicant proposed language to clarify the construction deadline and roadway improvement timeline. While previous Directors insisted on strict adherence to the timed performance conditions, the current administration is open to the applicant's suggested amendment language to roadway improvement conditions. Additionally, if approved, the amendment to Condition C will require some development to occur within 8 years of the amendment, thus if that development requires a certificate of occupancy, the roadway improvements will be triggered. Appropriate infrastructure such as water, wastewater, and roadway access are available or will be constructed by the applicant to support uses permitted under the CG-20 zoning. Conditions of approval will require the applicant to comply with Department of Water Supply (DWS) and Fire Department requirements to provide potable water and fire suppression water to the site, and to connect to the County sewer in the area. Based on the preceding, the request to amend Condition C (time to complete construction) to allow a time extension to complete construction of the proposed project and associated Conditions D, E, and F (Roadway Infrastructure) is not contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone.
