v C I The Honorable Dr. Holeka Goro Inaba and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii November 23, 2025 Page 6 The applicant proposes to extend Kikaha Street through the subdivision as a County-dedicable minor roadway with a 50-foot-wide right-of-way, 30-foot-wide pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and drainage improvements meeting ADA and County standards. This roadway will traverse the project site and terminate at the proposed Abe Street extension, a 50-foot-wide roadway reserve within the property to the south. There is an existing dwelling on the subject property that currently takes access via a paved driveway located within an access easement within the future Abe Street road reserve. This driveway access will be removed once the Kikaha Street extension is completed within the subject property. Ordinance 25-7, which rezoned the property to the south, required the developer of that property to delineate 50-foot-wide Ahe Street and Kikaha Street road reserves on subdivision plans and to dedicate those rights -of -way to the County upon request. However, the ordinance permitted the developer to provide access using a privately owned roadway built to a 16-foot-wide pavement standard with two -foot -wide. gravel shoulders, to remain in private ownership until dedication to the County. Therefore, there will be no roadway connection between the Kikaha Street extension within the project area and the Abe Street extension until the County accepts dedication of the Abe Street right-of-way and constructs the roadway. Conditions of approval will require the applicant to construct roadway and drainage improvements, as well as installing streetlights and traffic control devices as required by the Department of Public Works. According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), the property is currently served by a single 5/8-inch water meter limited to 400 gallons per day, adequate for one single-family dwelling. Water for the proposed project can be supplied from existing 8- inch and 6-inch waterlines located along Abe Street and Kikaha Street, respectively. The applicant must submit a water commitment deposit for 13 additional units and construct required system improvements, including 6-inch minimum water mains, relocated service laterals, individual 5/8-inch meters, and properly spaced fire hydrants. All water system improvements must be dedicated to the County, and applicable facilities charges paid before receiving additional water service. Conditions of approval will be added to address this.
