The Honorable Dr. Holeka Goro Inaba and Members of the County Council County of Hawai'i February 16, 2026 Page 5 In an email to the Planning Department, the Applicant indicated they are agreeable to transferring the easement area to Dillow Group. Accordingly, conditions of approval will require the easement area along North Road to be delineated on the subdivision map and maintained as a roadway setback/building restriction area. Access to the proposed lots is anticipated to be provided via a new 20-foot- wide private roadway lot extending mauka along the western side of the property from Kua'aina Road. Conditions of approval will require the new subdivision roadway to be constructed meeting with the requirements of Hawai'i County Code Chapter 23 (Subdivision Code) and access from the proposed subdivision to Kua'aina Road will be required to comply with Chapter 22 (County Streets). Pursuant to Section 25-5-46(d)(1) of the County's concurrency provisions, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) is required for rezoning applications when the projected use would generate 50 or more peak -hour trips. Based on the small scale of the proposed five -lot subdivision (one existing dwelling and the potential for four additional lots and dwellings), a TIAR was not required. Furthermore, neither the County Police Department nor the State Department of Transportation (DOT) anticipate the project to significantly impact traffic operations on Kua'aina Road or at the Kua'aina Road and Volcano Road intersection. The parcel is currently served by DWS via an existing 5/8-inch water meter (400 gpd), adequate for one (1) dwelling (limited to an average 400 gallons per day). DWS indicates additional service for the proposed subdivision can be made available from the existing 6-inch water main within Kua'aina Road; however, service is subject to DWS conditions and securing water commitments (Rule 5), and DWS' comment letter is not a commitment. To obtain subdivision approval and provide domestic service and fire protection, the applicant may be required to extend the waterline within the proposed road lot to service each newly created lot and install related improvements (e.g., laterals/meters and hydrants), which may be costly, and pay applicable fees. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. The subject property is not served by the County sewer system. Existing and future development will rely on Individual; Wastewater Systems (IWS) that meet State Department of Health (DOH) requirements. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval.
