Change of Zone Application (REZ 00-007)
Applicant: Matsuno Enterpnses, Ltd.
Request: RS-10 to CG-20
Tax Man Key: 2-2-40:14 and 69
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public heazing on November 17, 2000, voted to
rewmmend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification
for approxm~ately 6.64 acres of land from Single Family Residential (RS-10) to General
Commercial (CG-20). The property is located on the southeastern corner of the Puainako
Street/Kancelehua Avenue intersection, aaoss (Puna side) and in the vicinity of Blockbuster
Video and Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza, South Hilo, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Duector's reasons for recommending
favorable wns~deration of the change of zone:
The request for a change of zone designation from a Single Family Residential
(RS-10) to General Commercial (CG-20) would allow general commercial uses on the
subject property. The applicant is requesting the change of zone to develop a retail and
office commercial complex tentatively consisting of a restaurant(s), office space, and
small retail shops. The project is intended to supplement the regional commercial
goods and servues that exist in the area
In order to consider an azea for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It ~s
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
a~ Manben of the County Council

only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach tJtat evaluations and
decision can be made to better time and state develapmeata to atbieve groavth
determined by the General Plan and related planning documeats. The implications of
these evaluations abe decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on
similaz areas in the County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole
island.
The approval of this request would be m keeping with the following goals,
policies and standazds of the General Plan:
Frnnninir F.ly_mont
* Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life
* Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical
and social environments of the island of Hawaii.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for drveraity and stability in its economic
syBtem.
* The County shall provide an economic environment which allows new,
expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the
County's natural a~ social environment.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate which provides its
residents an opportunity for choice of occupation.
• Designate a~ allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
koeping with the social, cultural and physical enviro~enta of the County.
* Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in azeas wtth ease of access to commumry
services and employment centers a~ with adequate public utilities and
facilitxs.
* Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or
projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.

development of the County. It reflects a graphic deptctton of the spatial relationships
among vazious land uses and the expressed policy statements of the document itself
The LUPAG Map, in essence, establishes the basic land use pattern for areas within the
County
The subject rezoning action conforms to the LUPAG Map which designates the
azea for High Density Urban Development. This designation allows for commercial,
multiple residential and related services (general and office commercial, multiple
residential). As such, this request conforms with the GP LUPAG Map. The applicant
is requesting the change of zone to allow a vaziety of general commercial uses on the
property. The rezoning reclassification would be a reasonable expansion of
commercial activities associated with the General Commercial designation and the
existing commercial uses in the area Surrounding properties consist of a mix of
residential and commercial uses, including the Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza to the
northeast, KTA to the west, Firestone Auto Center and Ginger Patch Mazket and Deli
to the northwest, and residential uses to the east and south
The project site is situated within close proximity to schools, commercial azeas,
employment centers and public safety services The Hilo Community Development
Plan, adopted by Resolution in 1975 by the Planning Commission, recommended that
the area be retained as RS-10. However, this azea has gradually bcen in transition
from residential to commercial. Surrounding lands are zoned RS-10, CN-10 and
CG-20 and include single family dwellings and commercial uses. The Prince Kuhio
Shopping Plaza is located northeast of the subject properties. The Firestone Auto
Center is located diagonally across the properties to the northwest on Kancelehua
Avenue, and KTA Super Stores and Pizza Hut is located directly west of the parcels on
Kancelehua Avenue. The Hilo Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness is located on
Awapuhi Street, east of Pazce169.
The proposed change of zone would, therefore, complement the existing
commercial land uses, be consistent with the transition from residential to commercial
occurring in the immediate vicinity and provide for an orderly commercial development
of the azea. The prolect site is located in close proximity to police, fire and emergency
medical services.
All utrlittes and services aze or will be made available to the project site which
aze essential to accommodate urban development. Access to the site is from Puainako
Street, a County roadway identified as a primazy arterial with a minimum width of 120
feet. A secondary access, mainly for residents of Awapuhi Street, is proposed from
Awapuhi Street, which has a 16-foot wide pavement within a 40-foot right-of-way.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
a~ Members of the County Council

The Department of Public Worb recommends that the applicant construct roadway
improvements an the south aide of Puaimlm Street, along tfie ettb9ect properties'
frontage. consisting of pavement widemieg, cnnereoe curb, gtdler, am sidewalk
includitrg drainage improvements within ffie road widening setback area. The road
widening sectioro and the roradway intprovemeata should be subdivided and dedicated
to the County. The applicant will also be required to relocate utilities and install street
lights, signs and traffic markings, mating the approval of the Department of Public
Works, Traffic Division. The Department of Public Worts Engineering Division
recommends that the driveway along Pusinako Street be limited to "right-turn in and
right-turn out" traffic movements only. The applicant will also be required to provide
a deceleration lane for the approach into the driveway to ensure adequate sight distance
rs met for vehicles entering and exiting the subject site. According to the Department
of Water Supply, water is available to the site. All other utilities and services are
available to the site.
The project has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
properly rectified or whrch would render the land unusable. The subject properties aze
located on the corner of I{anoelehua Avenue and Pusinako Street. The northern
portion of the site (Pazcel 14) is situated in a depression and both parcels are within a
designated floodway (AE) according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Department of Public Works
request that the applicant obtain a FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) prior to Final Plan Approval and a FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)
prior to issuance of a certificate of ocxlrptncy for any development on the site
According to the applicant, the majority of the project site is located in Zone AE (azea
where base flood elevation has ban determined and within the 100-yeaz flood hazazd)
The applicant has completed a preliminary drainage report that concluded that the site
could be developed if certain flood mitigation measures are taken. Based on FEMA's
1988 study (which was used to determine the base flood), the 100-year peak dischazge
in this azea would be 4,025 cubic feet per second. According to the apphcant, the
report noted that by constructing a reinforced concrete trapezoidal channel, grading the
properties, and submitting a request to FEMA to amend the FIRM map (due to existing
and planned drainage improvement in this azea), much of the arts could be developed
The subject properties aze located outide of any tunami inundation azea. Any new
construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the
County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The site has been prevrously
developed and therefore, no endangered or threatened species of floral or fauna nor any
archaeological sites are anticipated to be found in the area. The Land Study Bureau's
Overall Master Productivity Rating for the subject azea is Urban.

13. Property: The subject properties are located on the southeastern corner of the Pusinako
Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersection, Puna-side of the Prince Kuhio Shopping Center.
Parcel 14 consists of 3.815 acres, and Parce169 consists of 2.825 acres. Portion of the
site is in a depression, and there is an exrsting dwelling on the site. The dwelling will be
demolished. The majority of the property is overgrown with abandoned sugar cane,
guava trees, gunpowder trees and introduced grass and vines.
14. Surrounding Zonins/Laed Uses: Surrounding lands are caned RS-10, CN-10, Open
and CG-20. There are residences to the east (Hawaiian Home Lands) and south of the
parcels, with Blockbuster Video and the Prince Kuhio Mall (zoned CG-20) to the

15. U.S.D.A. Soil Type: OID, Olaa extremely stony silty clay loam, 0 to 20 percent slopes.
The surface layer is very dark brown extremely stony silty clay loam about 16 inches
cluck. It is underlain by A'a lava. This soil dehydrates irreversibly into gravel-size
aggregates. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This
soil is used for sugarcane.
16. Land Study Bureau Soil Rating: Urban.
17. ALISH: Existing Urban Development.
18. FIRM: According to the Department of Public Works, "the subject parcels are within a
designated floodway according to the Flood Insurance Rate map (FIRM) by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Construction shall meet the r+cquirnments of
Chapter 27 - Flood Control, of the Hawaii County Code. The owner/developer shall
obtain a FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) prior to consttucdon plan
approval and a FEMA Letter of Map Revision (CONK) prior to issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for any development within the subject properties." A preliminary drainage
report prepared by hnata and Associates, Inc., included as part of ffie application,
concluded that the site could be developed if certain flood mitigation measures were
taken. Based on FEMA's 1988 study (which was used to determine the base flood), the
100-year peak discharge in this area would be 4,025 cubic feet per second. The report
noted that by constructing a reinforced concrete trapezoidal channel, grading the site, and
submitting a request to FEMA to amend the FIItM map (due to existing and planned
drainage improvements in this area), much of the site could be useable.
19. Flora/Faana Raoarces: As the site has been improved with a dwelling, the likelihood
of any rare or endangered flora or fauna is remote. The site is also used for intermittent
cattle or horse grazing.
20. Archaeologleal Resoarca: According to the applicant and the Department of Land and
Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, as the site has been improved, there are
no historical or cultural features on the parcel. Since the site is also used for intermittent
cattle grazing, it is expected that ao archeological features exist on the property.

21. Access: The proposed main access to the properties is from Puamako Street, a County
Roadway identified as a primary arterial with a minimum width of 120 feet. Accordmg
to the Department of Public Works, the dnveway along Pusinako Street will be liaated to
right-taro in and right-taro out traffic movements only. However, the Department of
Transportation opposes a commercial dnveway from the subject property to either
Kaaoelehua Avenue or Pusinako Street, as the driveway(s) would be too close to the
congested intersection. The applicant's request is not compatible with the Departrnent of
Transportation's plans for mtersection improvements. According to the Department of
Transportation, the County Puainako Street Extension project will not include
improvements at this intersection The Department anticipates that the Puaurako Street
Extension project may women traffic ccmgestion this intersection by directing new traffic
to the area. To address the traffic bottleneck at the Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue
intersection, the Department of Transportation has proposed to undertake Paainako Street
Improvements, Kilauea Avenue to Kanoelehua Avenue, Phases I and II. This project will
likely require lead acquisition from the subjcet parcels. A revised Traffic Impact
Analysis Report (1'IAR) submitted in rosponse to comments from the Department of
Public Works and the Department of Transportation concluded that with the mitigation
measures proposed by the Department of Public Works (right-tmn in, right-turn out at
Pusiaako Street), the traffic should be satisfactory. Awapuhi Street, which has a ltrfoot
pavement within a 40-foot right-0f-way, ends at the southern portion of the site. This
Awapulu Street secondary access is not envisioned to serve the aceess needs or
requirement of the project, but will be provided largely for the convenience of the
residents along Awapuhi Stroet. According to the Department of Public Works, Parce170
(site of the Hilo Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witaeas) would become landlocked should
this request be approved. However, according to the applicant, access to Paroe170 would
be provided through this project by the extension of Awapuhi Street.
22. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply, Parcel 14 has a 5/8-inch meter
whrle Parce169 does not have a service lateral. Based on the prevailing water availability
-4-
guidelines in the area, additional water can be made available from an exrsting 18-mch
waterline along East Pusiruilco Avenue fronting Parcel 14, with a connection size subject
to review and approval during the construction design phase of the proposed
development. The Department of Water Supply requuros the applicant to submit a water
commitment deposit and as anticipated maximum daily water usage as recommended by
a registered engineer.
23 Drainage: Acwrdmg to the Department of Transportation, because the property is
within a major floodway, drainage concerns should be totally resolved prior to approval
of the request. No improvcmenta will be allowed which interfere with existmg storm
drains within the State highway right-of--way or increase storm runoff onto Kanoelehua
Avenue or Puainako Street. The Department of Transportation Highways Division
Hawaii District Office will review and approve any construction aad grading plans which
affect drainage on the properties. The Depermicnt of Public Works requires the
preparation of a drainage study, and the recommended drainage system should be
constructed mating the approval of the department. ]f dry wells are included within the
subject development, an Underground Injection Control (LJIC) permit may be required
from the Department of Health.
24. Wastewater: There is no municipal sewer system in the area. The applicant proposes
several alternatives: 1) construct an on-site private treatment plant, such as a septic
system, meeting with the approval of the Department of Health and Department of Public
Works; 2) extend the Count's line at Makaala Street to the subject site; 3) hook up to Uie
Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza's private system. All of these options will be more
carefully examined during the subsequent pernvtting phases of the project.
25. Other EueatJal Utllltles and Service: Electrical and telephone services are or will be
made available to the site. Three County Fire Stations and emergency medical services
are located approximately two to three miles from the properties.

Puainako Street. We strongly suggest that this primary mgross/egress located as faz away
from the ICanoeleh~~A~~a~nA~o intersection as possible.
"Should an access be allowed from Kanoelehua Avenue, we agree that it should be a

hazardous."
27. Fire Department (July 12, 2000 Memo):
"When any portion of a building being protected is in excess of 150 feet from a water
supply on a public street, on-site fire hydrant shall be provided. On-site 5re hydrants
and roams shall be capable of supplying the required fire flow."

29. Department of Land and Natural Resources HLtoric Praervatbn Division (Jury 7,
2000 Memo):
"The applicant, Matsumoto [sic] Enterprises, Ltd., is requesting to rezone two parcels of
land totaling 6.65 acres located on the comer of Puainako Stroet sad Kaaoelehua Avenue
in Hilo. These parcels wero formerly phuttad in sugar cane thus malring it highly unlikely
that significant historic sites would be found because of the degree of land disturbance.
Based on this information, we believe that the proposed action will have "no effect" on
significant historic sites."

COUNTY REZONING REQUEST - R8-10 bo CG-20
MATSUNO ENTERPRISES, LTD.
TAX MAP KEY: (3) 2-2-~0: 14 3 69
WAIAKEA, SOUTH HILO, HAWAII
1. INTRODUCTK)N
The applicant, Matsuno Enterpnses, Ltd., is requesting to rezone two
parcels of land consisting of a combined area of 6.85 acros from Single-
Family Residential (RS-10) to General Commercial (C~-20) in the City of
Hilo, Hawaii. The subject site is located on the southeastern comer of
the Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersection, Puna-aids of the
Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza.
If successful, the applicant plans to develop a retail and office commercal
complex that would tentatively consist of a restaurant(s), ofice space, and
small retail shops. This project is intended to suppbment the regional
commercial goods and services that exist in this area.
II. PROJECT LOCATK)N
As noted earlier, the subject site is made up of two parcels xientified by
TMK: 2-2~d0: 14 and 69. Parcel 14 consist of 3.815 acres, while the
other, 2.825 acres. These parcels will eventwlly be consolidated for a
combined area of 8.65 acres.
The site is located at the southeastern quadrant of the Puainako
StreetlKanoelehus Avenue interssdion. Situated to its north or airport
side is the Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza. The KTA Shopping compbx is
located west of and on the opposite side of Kanoelshw Avenue.
Diagonally across of the subject site is a new comrrrsrcial complex
consisting of, among other uses, an automobile service csrner and a gas
station. (Ffgun 1)
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Protect Concept and Comporrenb
The applicant plans to develop a corrrmerdal complex that would
service and supplement the retail and office needs of the rogion
and immediate surrounding aroas. Tentative was would induds
restaurant(s) or eateries, small retail shops, which rrwy induds the
applicant's fresh and frozen seafood outlet, and ofFoe spaces.

For the most part, the conceptual plan calls for the construction of
three (3) free-standing buildings and not a singularly massive
structure Ilke a shopping mall. Tantatrvefy, these structures would
consist of 7,280 squaro feet, 4,000 square feet, and 31,200 squaro
feet with a combined aroa of 42,480 squaro feet. Parking and
loading areas, as required by the Zoning Code, will also be
provided on site. (Figures 2 6 3)
The proposed atructuros would be less than thirty five (35) feet m
height. Alttrouph fhs intent is to have the buildings constructed at
grade, one or two may have to bs elevated to accommodate the
requirements of the "AE" designation on the Flood Insurance Rabe
Map (FIRM).
It should be emphasized that the size and location of the structuros
aro oroliminarv and will bs adjusted to aoeomrradats the spatial
needs of the potential users and Counter's des~n roview and
related construction roquiremsnts. Ths drainage and acoess
roqurrements will have a signficant irrllusnce over the type,
location, and size of the structures.
The principal access to the site would be from Puainako Stroet.
The tentative location of this access would be at the sasbsm end of
the site, away tram the inberaectton. Aright
tam in, rigtrt-fain out
access from Kanoekhua Avenue will also bs explorod and
implemented, if allowed by the State. Awapuhi Street, which
tartninatss at the south boundary of the subject site, will not be
considerod as an access for this project. However, should R be
desired and/or roquirod by the County, the project could be
designed to allow for the Awapuhi Street traffic bo traveros through
the sibs to get bo Puainako Street.
As the site is adjacent to Kanoelehua Avenue and also reasonaby
prowmeb to rosidsntial uses to the south and east, s~dsrrshre
landscaping consistent with the County's Landscaping Ruk, is
planned adjacent to the Highway and within and around the site to
mitigate potential visual and noise impacts generated by this
project.
To reiterate, as the project is in its conceptual stages at this time, it
is recognized that further design reviews will occur at tha
subsequent stages of the psnnitting process which will cause
significant changes in the submitted plans. Ths applicant
understands and accepts that. At this permitting phase of the

protect, the applicant is requesting only land use (zoning) and not
specific building and infrastructurel design consideretions.
B. Proisct Timetable and Cost
The applicant has received favorable responses from potential
tenants. These potential tenants would be committed should the
requested application be approved. At that time, the applicant
intends to proceed immediately in the preparation of more detailed
plans for the potential tenanffi' and the County's review. Hopefully,
this would occur within a year
Because of the need to address drainage and access issues and
the time to prepare and have appropriate plans approved,
construction of this S5+ million project is anticipated to begin
during the latter part of 2001 Partial occupancy would then be
possible in early 2002, with an anticipated buildout by 2005.
N. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. State Land Uss
The subject property is designated Urban. As such, no State Land
Use Commission action is required. The County of Hawaii can
process the rezoning request
B. County General Plan
The County General Plen Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
(LUPAG) map designates the sibs High Densl(y. A letter to that
effect from the Planning Director, dated February 22, 2000, is
attached as Exhlbk A. The General Plan document notes that this
designation allows considsretion for'Commeroial, mulfipple
residential and rt~lated serv?ces (general and ofl~cs commercial;
multiple residential - up to 87 units per acre)." Aa such, the
requested CG zoning would be consistent with this designation,
and no General Plan amendment is necessary.
C. Hllo Communlty DavNovmant Plan
The Community Development Plan (CD) attempffi to further define
the General Plan and serves as a gad for decision-makers. It
was adopted by the Planning Conxnission in 1975, over 25 years
ago. Although reviewed by the County Council, the plan was never
adopted
3
The CDP'a Land Use Concept map identifies a RS-10 designation
for this area. This designation suggests residential uses, up to four
(4) units per acre A,a such, the requested CG zoning is not
consistent with this designation.
However, them have bean many developments in this area and
other factors in the region that make this CDP obsolete. The
development of the Prints Kuhio Shopping Plaza, the new
commeroial complex diagonally across of the site, and the
expansion of the KTA complex all combine to make this
inberasction a major commercial hub. Such a hub was not
envisioned in 1975.
Further, the growth of Puna, the contemplated construdion of the
Puainako F~ctension, and other regional land use over tM past 25
years wero not anticipated. Then, too, the Gsnerel Plan has been
updated since 1975, whit the CDP has not. As such, the CDP, as
a land use guiding document, is less than roaponsive to current
policies and projected conditions.
In that regard, although the requested zoning is not consistent with
the Hilo CDP, it is consistent with the legally-manda4ed Generel
Plan LUPAG map and policies.
D. County Zonirra
The County zoning of the subject aroa ~s Single-fame Residential
(RS-10). If the Genera/ Comme?dal (CG-20) roquest is approved,
the site would be developed into a rotail and oMioa corrmsraal
compbx. All land use and devebprant codes such w dreinage,
parking, setback, height, landsaping, and the like would bs
complied with.
G. Otlrar Pannlttlno Considaratiorrs
The site is not located within the County Speaal Management Aroa
(SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required.
_ _ _ However, as noted earlier, other permits would still be requirod.--
These would be of the 'ministerial' variety, such as consolidation
of the lots, Plan Approval, buikling psrtnit, gredingfgrubbing pernit,
UIC, and other construction-rolsted permits.
a
V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. t'aensral Description
The 6 6 acre eke has a 700-foot frontage along Kancelehua
Avenue and a 300-foot frontage along Puainako Street. The site is
generally trapezoidal in shape. The Puna or south end is slightly
wider (440+ feet) than the Puainako Street end (300+ feet)
The site is predominantly covered with abandoned sugar cane,
guava trees, gunpowder trees, and introduced grass and vines It
has and continues to be used intermittently for cattle or horse
grazing.
The site has asingle-family dwelling on the site. Said dwelling is
rented on a month-to-month basis and will be removed, should the
rezoning be approved and pnor to actual construction of the sibs
A significant portion of the site is designated Zone AE (100 year
stone limit) on the Flood Insuronoe Rabe Map (FIRM). However,
since drainage improvements have been made in the Waiakea-Uka
area, there have not been any significant flooding and/or drainage
problems on the site. With appropriate mitigative measures, the
site is capable of being developed. Please rofer to the section on
Drainage (Chapter V-C-1 below) for more discussion on this issue.
B, Climab, Boll and Toooaraohv
According to the State Commission on Weber Resource
Management, the nearest rain gauge in this area is the Hilo Airport.
The rainfall data of this gauge notes that over the past 37 years,
the annual median rainfall for this aroa was 131.1 inches. The
wetter months tend to occur between October through April. The
average daily temperature ranges from a minimum of 61 degrees to
a maximum of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind patbems aro generally
tradewinds (easterly) during the day, and westerly or mountain
winds during the evenings
The property's elevation begins below Kancelehua Avenue. The
highest spot, which is 94 feet, begins at the southwesbem comer of
the site and slopes gradually to 64 feet near the noitheaatem
sector of the site. The site has kss than a 10% gradual slope with
no significant on-site undulations.
s
Tha Land Studv Bureau Overell Master Productivity Rating for the
subject aroa is Class'E' (E271) or poor. This soil series is
characterized as "Aa" with very likle or no soil material. This
designation auggesffi that the site does not have a high potential
for agricultural productivity. The Bureau notes that this soil series
(Aa) is unsuited for machine tillabilky. It is excessively well-
drained.
Under the Agricukure Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii
(ALISH) claasiflcation system, the land is not dasaifled as ekhsr
one of throe available categories -Prime, Unique, or Other
Important Agriculture Lands. It is classified "Urban." Thus, the
State's classification system does not rocognize this sib as being
agricukurelly important.
C. Nataual Hazards
1. Dralnaos
The US Corps of Engineers' Flood Insurance Rab Map
(FIRM) designates the area of the proposed development to
be m Zone AE, {area whero bass flood elevation has been
debrrnined and within the 100-year flood hazard) and Zone
X (areas outside of 500-year flood). For the most part,
however, the sibs is designated Zone AE.
Arxordingly, a proliminery drainage roport wag preparod by
Imata and Associaba, Inc. and induded heroin as 6rhlbk
B. Please nob that although undated, this roport was
propared in May 2000.
The inbnt of this report was to see whether the sib could be
developed if certain flood mkigative measures wsro taken.
The report concluded that k could.
Based on FEMA's 1988 study (which was used to determine
the bass flood), the 100-year peak discharge in this area
would be 4,025 cubic feet per sswnd (cis). The roport
noted that by constructing a reinforced concrob trapezoidal
channel, doing some lot grading, and submiking a request to
FEMA to amend the FIRM map (due to s>astirg and planned
drainage improvemenffi in this aroa), much of the site could
be made usable
6
The preliminary recommendations of the consulting
engineer will have to be elaborated upon and submitted for
the rewew and approval by the County Department of Public
Works during the subsequent pennittting phases of this
project. These recommendations will cover appropriate on-
site drainage (such as drywalls) and required otf-site
improvements (such as those noted above), LOMR
amendment, and the Ilke. Only upon their approval by the
County can construction of this project commence
2. Tsunami Hwrd
As the site is situated over 2 miles from the ocean, it is
located outside of the Civil Defense's Tsunami Evacwtion
Zone. Thus, there would be little or no throat from hph
waves.
3. Volcanic and Earthquake Hwrds
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) classfies the
entire City of Hilo as being within Lava Flow Hwrd Zone 3,
on a scale of ascending risk, 9 to 1. Thera is very little that
can be done to mitlgate this situation and rofiects an
ongoing threat to all residents and businesses.
The entire island of Hawaii falls within Earthquake Zone 4,
according to the County Building Cods. As such, the
applicant understands and accepts that them will bs added
structuret requirements to address this seismic hwrd.
D. Fauna Resources
Although there was no professional survey conducted of the faunal
resources of the sits, the applicant doss not bstisvs that roro or
endangered faunal resources aro likely bo be found within or
probmabe to the subjsd site. The sibs is within an urban and
developed area, and the Ilkelihood of finding endangerod animal
life appears remote.
Introduced bird species (such as dove, Japanese White eye,
house finch, myna) aro common in this area. Domestic animals
such as cats and dogs, and other animals like rats and mongoose
are also common
As such, it is unlikely that the development of the subject property
would cause any adverse faunal impacts
E. Flora Resources
No commissioned flora survey was conducted of the site due in
large measure to its past agricultural uses, perticularty sugar cane.
The site is now used for intermittent cattle or horse grazing. There
is also a dwelling with related 'improvements on a pon~on of the
site.
In addition to abandoned sugarcane, other plant material observed
on the site were guava trees, gunpowder trees, and gourd vine.
The dominant undsratory were mostly weedy species or escaped
ornamentals.
Given its past use, it is unlikely that the site would be an hatidat
for any listed threatened or endangered plant life.
F. HfstorlcJMchasoloolcal Resources
For the same reason noted above, no commissioned
archaeological inventory survey was conducted of the subpd sibs.
The past agricultural use of the site, resulting in i6s extensive
clearing, reduces the prospect of finding any archaeological
remains.
Nonetheless, during the course of developing this project, should
any antiapabed archaeological features or sites be uncovered,
work in the affected aroa will immediately cease and the applicant
will notify the Planning Department.
G. Wabr and Coastal Rgouress
The subject site is located over 2 miles from the coastline. As
such, coastal impacts resulting from discharge of drainage systems
from the site should not be sigmfiant. Being anon-coastal
property, no coastal access will be affected.
There are severe) wastewater aitematives being considered.
These include the construction of an on-sibs private on-sibs system
(such as a septic system), hooking into the County's ayatem at
Makeala Street, or hooking into the private Prince Kuhio Shopping
Plaza system. In either case, the system would be designed in
accordance with Department of HeaRh standards.
s
Additionally, prior to the construction or use of any drywalls on the
site to address on-site drainage concsms, the appropriate UIC
permit from the State will be taken. At that time, impacts ib water
and coastal resources will be carofully examined.
H. Nofss. A!r Cwlity. and Dwt
The existing background ambient not levels is associated with
the wind, foliage, bills, and the like. This is rotatively low,
averaging less than 45 Ldn
Manmade noise in this area, however, is heavily influenced by the
traffic along the Kanoelehua Avenue and Pusinako Street traffic.
This project will introduce additional vehicular traffic to this area
and will thus add m the noise levels. However, the addition should
still be Isas than 55 Ldn, which is within acceptable levels within an
urban environment.
There will also be some short
term noise impacts rotating to the
construction of this project. To minimize this short-tsrtn noise
impacts, the standards and guidelines of the Stabs Dspartrrrsnt of
HeaNh rotating m time of operation, emission controls (mufflers),
and the like will be adhered to.
The proposed development should not generate any diroct
uali impacts. As the project itssff is not expected bo have uses
that generate adverse air pollutants, the only dlsoemibb air quality
impact would bs associated with vehicular traAlc b and from the
site. While the added traffic will have an impact to the ambient air
quality, the impact should not bs significant. This is dw in part to
the higher EPA standards for automobile air emissions and the
provailing trodewinds.
All of the required parking area within itrs project sibs will bs paved
with an all-weather, dust free surface. Landscaping will also be
required as part of the Plan Approval requirsrrrsnt. As such, with
the exception of construction dust in the beginning, long farm dust
generated by the project should bs minimal and not sgnifcant.
L Scenk and Vfswl Considerations
In the IYatura/ Beauty element of the General Plan, them aro sibs
or areas listed as scenic resources. The subject sibs is not listed
as a scenic site. However, Mauna Kea mountain is listed as a
scenic resources.
9
The proposed development would not have any visual impacts on
Mauna Kea. The sits is located in a somewhat topographically
depressed area and on the east side of Kanoekhua Avenue.
Further, the buildings will be recessed or setback from the
Kanoelehua Avenue and not exoesd thuty five (35) feet, there
should not be any visual impacts to scenic resources. Thus, the
public view impact of the mountain would not be impaired by the
development of this site.
VI. SOCU?L AND RELATED Ctk181DERATK)N8
A. Surroundfrrn Land Uses
The predominant land use at this intersection is commercial. The
areas east end south of this sibs, however, aro used residentially.
As such, while the requested use would be consistent with the
commercial land use pattsm, it could have some impact to the
residences. To mkigabs these impact, design and oonatrucUon
factors such as the placement of buildings, parking areas, fighting,
landacapmg, and the like will be tken into account.
B. Economic Imcacb
The requested zoning would have some measure of economic
impact, as k would provide short-term employment opportunities for
those in the constructlon and related industries.
With the completion of the commercial project, thsro will be long-
term employment opportunities in the retail and service industries.
New businesses could be started in an area that is reasonably
accessed by foot, as well as vehicles. In so doing, it cook!
strongthen the concept of a corKrreraal ooro in this part of Hilo.
There could be some real property tx conssquencea for the
adjacent residential properties. Aa the assessed valuation of the
subject property rises due to the higher commercial use, titsro
could be some fallout to neighboring properties. Nonethebss, for
homeowners intent on keeping their property for residential uses,
them aro tax provisions that allow homeowners to'fresze' the
valuation of their property for s certain period of time.
to
C. Aariculturai imwcb
The site rs and has not been used for intensive agricultural
activities. The site for the most part has been used for intermittent
horse or cattle grozrng. While this use could continue, it may not
be a productive use of the land, given the emerging commercial
land use pattern of this aroa.
More importantly, the land has not been classified as being
important from an agricultural resource perspective under the
vanoua soil classification systems. ft is classified 'E' or very poor
by the Land Study euroau and not even classified under the
State's ALISH system.
VII. INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Road
The primary access to the project would be from a permitted
axes fronting this sits along Puainako Street. Ths e~ar:t location
has not been detsrrnined at this stage, although it would moro
likely be located as far as away as possible from the intsrssction.
A right-turn in, right-turn out only axes from Kanosishua Avenue
is being explorod and will Ns implemented if allowed by the State.
Awapuhi Street, which has a 40-foot wide right-of-way, ends at the
southern end of the site. Axsss through the project site do
Puainako Street will be provided largely for the convenience of the
Awapuhi Strsst rosidenffi. This axes, however, is not ernisioned
to service the axes needs or requiroment of the project
A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TL4R) was propared for this
project (Euhibit C). The study noted the following:
• Construction of the Puainako Street Exbenaion project is
eapscbed to begin within a year, which will include
improvemenffi at the Puainako Street/It;anoelehua Avenue
intersection.
• Improvemenffi at this intersection will include
- widening of Kanoelehua Avenue from 4 to 6 lanes;
- providing dual left turn lanes on the northbound approach of
ICanoelehua Avenue to Puainako Street;
it
- converting the existing right tum only lane on the
northbound approach of Kanoelehua Avenue to a shared
through/right tum lane,
- widening the eastbound approach of Puainako Street to
provide one left tum lane, one shared through/left tum lane,
one through lane, and one exclusive right tum lane; and
- vndening the westbound approach of Puainako Street to
provide two left tum lanes, two through lanes, and an
exclusive right tum lane.
• The proposed improvements would significantly increase the
capacity of the inbrssction, allowing for greater traffic volumes
with shorter traffic signal cycles.
• The current level of service (LOS) is operating at C during the
AM and PM peak periods with the existing inbrssction dsspn.
With the proposed Improvements, the LOS will improve to B.
• Whsn the project's traffic is introduced, the LOS will not
change, due to the scheduled intersection improvements.
Based on the above, the TZAR concluded that "The proposed
project is not expected to have adverse traffic impacts on the
adjscent road sysbm and require mitigating msasuros. Acoess to
Puainako Street would be suficient for the volume of tripe which
aro forecast to be generated d the access driveway(s) aro properly
designed "
B. Wabsr
There is an 1&inch County water line along Puainako Street which
services the Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza and other aroaa in this
vicinity. This line would also be ssrvidng the subject sib.
C. Wasbwabr
There is no County wastewater system serving this site. However,
the applicant has several aNematlves. One includes the
construction of an on-sib privab treatirrsnt plant, such as a septic
sysbm, msetirq with the approval and sbndards of the Stab
Department of Health and County DepartmsM of Public Works.
Another is to exbnd the County's line at Makaala Street to the
u
subiect site. A third alternative is to hook up to Pnnce Kuhio
Shopping Plaza's private system.
All of these options will be more carefully examined during the
subsequent permitting phases of this project. In eitMr case, the
requirements fir wastewater can be satisfied through one of those
alternatives.
D. Solid Wasb
Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers who will dispose
of the rofuss at the county landfill in Hilo and eventually at
Puuanahulu, North Kona. Typically, a project of this neturo should
generate leas than a truck load a day. Ways td roduce waste will
be explored with the County under its Integrated Solid Waste
Management Plan.
Like other rezoning applications, it is anticipated that a Solid
Waste Management Plan will be roquired. This Plan will help
address project ways to accommodate and roduoe the project's
waste.
E. Other Govemmerrt t3ervlcaa
As this area is already part of the City of Hilo urban aroa, it is
alroady being serviced. No sztsnsion of gowmmsnt services
would be roquirsd, and existing hcilitiss should bs sufiicisnt to
accommodate the limited demand expected from this project
At least throe (3) County Firo Stations and Emergency Medical
Services aro located 2-3 miles from the site, as is the Police
Station.
As this project is a commercial one, it should haw little or no direct
impacts b schools, parks, and other rolatsd facilitles.
The Hilo Hospital is located, approximately four (4) miles from the
site. This hospital is one of five licensed hospitals on the island.
F. Other Utllitles
All other utllities such as telephone and electrical services, aro
available to the sits.

VIII. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS
A. Relationship eetwwn Local Short-Tenn Uses of Emrironnrerrt
and Maintenance and Enhancement of Lone-Term Produetilvlly
The short term use of the site would probably be an undeveloped
tract of land which is used intermittently for grazing. As such,
development of this project null alter the open space character of
the site as well as eliminate the intermittent grazing activity
However, based on the findings of this report, this project should
not rosuft in any significantly adverse short of long term impacts
that cannot be properly mitigated. Thera will be direct and indirect
economy benefits resulting from the construction and
implementation of this project. Ralatedly, the project will generate
increased tax rovenues that can supplement the State and
County's fiscal resources.
Because of its location, this project null provide goods and services
that can be made reasonably accessible to the region and
immediate neighborhoods The required inirostruduro will be
implemented by the applicant to mitigate potential impacts of this
project.
B. Irr+sversible and ImstrlsvabN Commlbrrent of Resources
The subject site is already disturbed. As such, the commitrrrent of
natural or other resources (such as archaeological) would not
appear to be an issue. The likelihood of having archaeological
featuros on the site is remote, due to the past developmsM of the
site. Further, any unanticipated finds wilt be properly mitigated
upon consultation with appropriate government agencies.
C. MHlaatlvs Masuros
The applicant intends to provide the required off and on-site
infrastructure in conjunction nrith the development of this project.
These include drainage, sewer, and roadway improvements.
Appropriate driveway improvements fronting Puainako Street will
be constructed by the appUcant to facilitate ingress and egross
from the site This will be coordinated with the planned
improvements to the intersection by the State.
is
Dramage system to addrosa the FIRM's AE designation Mnll be
designed and implemented by the applicant. Ths system will also
have to be designed to axommodate the additional impervious
surface caused by the structures and parking aroas. This will be
done m conjunction with the permitting and pemdt implementation
phases of this project
A wastewater system meeting with the approval of the State and
County will be designed and implemented by the applicant.
Although the potential for finding archaeological featuros on the
site is remote, work will imrnsdiably cases during construction if
any inadvertent discoveries aro made and the Planning
Department will be notified.
Additional landscaping will also be incorporated within the project
site, as well as along Kanoskhua Avenue and the residential
aroas south and east of the site. The landspping would bs
consistent with the Planning Department's landscaping rules.
There is asingle-family residence on the properly that is rented on
a month to nwnlh basis. As such, the tenant would have to vacate
the promises at some point in time.
D. Albmatives bo the Pro~oasd Protect
1. No Pro act
Under the status quo alternative, the sibs would rertain in its
prossnt condition. Ths land would oontinus to bs used
intsrmitbsntiy for horse or attis grazing.
Under this scenario, the sits would not be utilized ib its
fullest potential, given the mixturo of land uses in this area.
2. Dewloomarrt Based on F~tistlna RS-10 Zonlna
Under this alternative and based on 4 un'da per acre, the
properly could bs subdivided into 18-2010,000 square foot
Iota. A resident, and possibly an ohana unit, could be
constructed on each of the lots.
However, the cost to make the road, weber, and sewer
system may not economically justify the intended rosidential
use of the property. Moro importantly, the site's adjaoenry
~s
to Kancelehua Avenue and other commercial uses make ft
less than suitable for residential uses
Thus, it may be unlikely that the site would be developed or
subdivided according to the RS-10 zoning.
3. Albmatlw Rssidentlal Deneltlss
The site could be developed into a higher residential
density, such as multiple-family, that would also be
consistent with the General Plan.
Again, having residential uses adjacent to a major Highway
could be problematic, particularly from a noise and dust
perspective.
4. Evaluatlon of Albmatlvss
Leaving the property in its currant undeveloped state would
not maximize the use of the land. Thera would also be
diminished tax rovenuea and less services to Crs public.
While alternative rosiden6al densities are possibb, the
pro>amity of the Highway may necessitate a wider bufisr,
thus creating an underutilized eras.
The project's impacts to the area's social and physical
infrastructuro would not appear to be pronounced. Certain
mitigative measures such as landsaping, trafic
improvsmenb, setbacks, and so forth will be taken to
addross any possible impacts associated by the
development of this project.
In that regard, the project in totality would be consistent with
the land use objectives sought b be accomplished by Cie
County General Plan LUPAG map.
In view of the aforomentioned, k would appear that none of
the alternatives would be moro prudent and bensticial than
Me requested CG-20 zoning altemathro.

IX. REGULATORY ANALYSIS
A. General Plan LUPAG Mai
The General Plan provides for the long-range comprehensroe
development of the island of Hawaii It provides direction for
balanced growth in the County.
The LUPAG map designates the site High Densely, a designation
that allows the requested CG-20 zoning Accordingly, this request
would not be inconsistent with the LUPAG map.
B. General Plan Policies
The requested zoning would be consistent with the goals, policies,
and standards of the Economic and Land Use Elements of the
General Plan. Specficaliy, the more pertinent ones follow:
1. Economic ENmsnt
Goals
• Provide residenffi with opportunities to improve their
quality of life.
• Economic development and improvement shall be in
balance with the physical and social environments of the
island of Hawaii.
The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and
stability in iffi economic system.
• The County shall provide an economic environment
which allows new, expanded, or improved economic
opportunities that aro compatible with fha County's
natural and social environment.
Policies
• The County shall provide an economic environment
which allows new, expanded, or improved economic
opportunities that are compatible with the County's
natural and social environment.
The County shall strive for an economic climate which
provides its residents an opportunity for choice of
occupatlon.
The County shall strive for diversification of its economy
by strongthening existing industries and attracting new
endeavors.
• The County shall encourage the development of a visitor
industry which is consistent with the social, physical, and
economic goals of the residents of the County.
Dbcussion
The request would provide opportunities for existing and
new businesses b establish themselves in an aroa that is
and, with the planned improvemsrrts, will Hs shortly served
by a good transportation system. Relatedty, all of the
requirod infrastructuro wNl be provided by the applicant
without taxing gowmmsnt's aerviang ability.
Further, the area is located proximate to residential and
business arses, making the sits accessible also by foot
traffic. This is the last of the 4-comer sites that is not
developed commercially. Its development should thus be
consistent with the land uas patbsm at this intsrsectlon,
while making it convenient for the region and surrounding
neighborhoods.
2. land Use Element (Comrrrsrclall
Goals
• Provide for commercial developments that maximize
convenience to its users.
• Provide commercial developments that complement the
overall pattern of transportatlon and land usage within
the island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods.
Policies
• Commercial facilities shall be developed in arose
adequately served by necsswry services, such as water,
utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should
is
such services not be available, the development of more
intensive uses should be in concert with a localized
program of public and privets capital improvements to
meet the expeclsd increased needs.
• Distribution of commercial aroas shall be such as to best
meet the demands of neighborhood, community and
regional needs.
• The development of commercial facilities should be
designed to flt into the locab vrith minimum intrusion
whUe providing the desired services. Appropriab
inirastructuro and design controls shall be incorporolsd
into the roview of such developments.
Standards '
• Community Center
• Provide: Convenience goods, plus "soft Iins"
items, such as clothing, and "hard line" items such
as hardrwro and small appliance
• Major Shops: Varlsty or junior department store
• Number of Shops: 20 to 40
• Acreage: 10 to 30 aroros
• Appropriate Market: 15,000 people
• Commercial developments shall bs located in aroas
adequately served by transportation, utilities, and
amenities. Commercial developments shall provide for
adequate internal circulation amongst commercial
facilities in the area.
• Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided.
• Commercial development shall maintain or improve the
quality of the present environment through the
considsrotion of casual, access, landscaping, and other
design ebments m their development.
Profaronce shall be given to commercial lands with a
roaaonably level topography.
19
Discussion
As the City of Hilo and its surrounding area continue to
grow, there will be a need for moro regional and community
center type of commercially-zoned lands. There have been
maior commercial developments within the past 10 years,
croaUng a new "core' in this eras. This protect would help
solidify this core
The subject site, in addition to attempting to meet this need,
also fulfills other polities and standards articulated in the
General Plan. The site is already serviced by adequate
infrastructure, and where them are not, will be extended
and/or provided by the applicant. The County water line is
already available to the subject site. The sewer line will
possibly hs expanded.• In doing ao, these improvements well
fadlitate their access by other abutting property owners.
Police and Lire protective services are available within three
miles of the site. Aa such, this development should not
require addition public services to be provided.
The site does not have any on-ails developmental
constraints. The land is rotatively level. Although a portion
of the ails is designated AE on the FIRM map, certain
mitigative meaaures.will be taken by the applicant to
address this. These indude construction of a culvert, lot
grading, LOMR amendment, placement of uses consistent
with the AE designation, and the like. This would make the
properly developable and in a manner that would not pose
a burden to public agencies. Further, given the non-nobous
type of uses anticipated to ba situated hare, pollution
concerns would be minimal, if at all.
Being provtoualy used for sugar cane and of late, horse or
cattle grazing, the prospects of the site serving as a habitat
for rare or endangered plant or animal life appear remote.
There is also little evidence that the site wrould have any
archaeological feature on the site
The use is also compatible with the surrounding area,
especially at the three other comers of comrrbrdal uses.
Although there are residences at the soutfi and east end of
the site, them will be landscaped buffers.
~a
Further, the applicant is willing to set aside land on its
property to provide for a vehicular access from Awapuhi
Street to Puainako Street for the convenience of principally
area residents.
Finally, the standards for a community shopping center will
be fulfilled. These include the acroage, setbacks, uses,
parking, and the like. Additional landscaping will be
provided within the project and along the Highway and
adjacent rosidsntial areas.
C. Hilo Community Development Plan
Aa noted earlier, the Hilo CDP was adopted in 1975 by the
Planning Commission to serve as a guide to the Generel Plen.
The CDP recommended a RS-10 designation for this sits.
However, since 1975, the General Plan has been rovised, but the
COP has not.
Further, them have been signficant land use developments in this
area and the overall region which wsro not accounted for in the
1975 CDP. These include the commsrdal development of the
Prince Kuhio Shopping Plaza, the commercialization of the
industrially-zoned lends to ifs north, the expansion of the KTA
Shopping Complex, the zoning and dewlopmerrt of the au6omobib
service kxrrtsr, and reskfential growth of the Waiakea aroa and
Puna District.
All of these fedora and moro combine to make the function of the
CDP as a land use guide somewhat obsolete and inappropriate.
D. Zonin
If the request is approved, the sits would be developed into a small
shopping complex. All of the roquiromsrrls relative to height,
setback, landscaping, and parking, and the like would be complied
with. No variances from fhe Code aro antktipatsd.

Drainage Report for Rezoning
The protect site Is located within the Hilo Basin on the southeasurly confer of
Kancelehua Avenue and Puainako Street mursecaon Tax Map Key 3rd Division 2-2-40. 14
and 69
The siu, approxrmauly six and one-half acre m sue, Is predominantly covered with
abandoned sugar cane, guava trees, gunpowder trees, vines and grasses. The upper elevaaon
of the lot is approximately 94 feet with elevaaon 64 feet being the lowest and sloping downwazd
in a southwest to northeast direction. Two existing reinforced concrete culverts (24 inches and
36 inches) cross Kancelehua Avenue and dram into the pazcel and two 24-inch reinforced
concreu culverts dram away through Puamako Street
This report Is to establish the drainage Improvements to confine the FEMA flood zone
The report and engineer's evaluation Is not a completed LOMR to be submitted to FEMA or be
used for the construction of the proposed improvements. This report is to show the flood
muadaaon area can be reduced with drainage Improvemetts and supplemented with lot grading
the tnatonry of the lot can be used for the mended rezoning.
A lazge pomon of the lot Is m Zone AE, Pane1880 of 1900, Community-Panel Number
_ li5166 0880C, September 16, 1988 Zone AE mesas it is a special flood hazard area, will be
mandated by a 100-yeaz flood and that the base flood elevaaoos have been deurmmed. Exhrbn
_ 1, poruon of Panel 880 of 1900 Exlubu 2, the inundation area is shown with base flood
= elevations on a topographic survey dated January 1999
The 100-year peak discharge, downstream of the property at Kancelehua Avenue taken
from FEMA's study m the deurminaaon of the base flood is 4,025 cfs (cubic feet per second),
Exhibit 3 We are using 4,025 cfs as the Q (peak dischazge) traversing the parcel in det~**+~*~~g
the channel sue.
Exliba 4 Is the reinforced concreu trapezoidal channel best sorted to handle the flow
E.~thrbit 5 shows the remfomed concrete channel, proposed lot grading and new
inundation linits. Kancelehua Avenue does nbt have a drautage strvcnire ro accommodate the
flood and we are assuming additional improvements will not be made. We contemplau
Puainako Street to have a sew box culvert, bndge structure and/or other improvements to assist
the flow The currem FEMA study shows 1-2 feet depth of water over topping Puainako Street
and downstream over topping Kancelehua Avenue.
Conclusion: The proposed Improvements can make the parcel viable for its mended use

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT
- SUtSAN COMMERCIAUOFFICE COMPLEX
A commercal and office complex is being proposed in Hilo, Hawau A study was
conducted to determine the traffic impacts of the proposed project and the need for any
mitigation measures. This report documents the methodology and results of the study
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
~ Matsuno Enterpnses proposes to develop a 40,000 square foot office and commercial
complex on the southwest comer of Kanoelehua Avenue and Puainako Street. The
~ project site is located on a 6.64 acre site identified as Tax Map Key (3)2-2-40: 14 8~ 69
The site ~s bounded by Kanoelehua Avenue on the west, Puainako Street on the north,
r- and residential lots to the south Awapuhi Street, which provides north-south access to
Kahaopea Street to the east of Kanoelehua Avenue, terminates at the south boundary
of the property There is a 40 foot reserved nght-of-way for a roadway extension
runrnng through the project site The location of the project site in relationship to the
r local road system is shown on Figure 1
~ Possible uses in the proposed development could include general offices, restaurants,
and retail shops The project would be built in two phases The first building of 31,200
square feet would be completed by the summer of 2003, in three years The second
building which would bnng the total project area to 40,000 square feet is projected to be
~ available two years thereafter Pnmary access to the site would tie from Puainako
~ Street
Based on the development schedule and location of the proposed project, this study
analyzed the traffic impacts at the Kanoelehua Avenue/Puainako Street intersection
_ with traffic forecasts for three and five year terms.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
A survey of the existing roadway and traffic conditions was made
Roadway Conditions
Kanoelehua Avenue is the mayor arterial that provides north-south access between Hdo
and the Keaau and Volcano districts It is a four lane divided arterial with turning lanes
and traffic signals at mayor cross streets, including the Puainako Street intersection It
is under the ~unsdiction al the State Department M Transportation and ~s designated as
State Route 11.
Puainako Street is an east-west collector road under the lunsdiction of the County Nis
_ a four lane facility from Kanoefehua Avenue to Kilauea Street, and continues east as a
two lane faality to its terminus at Komohana Street
The intersection of Kanoelehua Avenue and Puainako Street has separate left turn and
nght turn lanes on all approaches. Both Kanoelehua Avenue approaches have two
through lanes while both Puainako Street approaches have a single through lane The
left turn movement from Kanoelehua Avenue can only be made on a protected left turn
phase, while left turns from Puainako Street can be made on protected and permitted
phases
Construction on the Puaanako Street Extension protect is expected to begin within a
year This mayor protect will make several improvements:
' Widen Puianako Street to four lanes between Kilauea Avenue and Arista
Street.
• Realign Puainako Street between Anela Street and Komohona Street to
the north of its current alignment
~ Bwld a new roadway between Komohana Street and Kaumana Drive by
' extending the new alignment.

r
• Make improvements at tCanoelehua Avenue/Puamako Street intersection
to include
- Widen tCanoelehua Avenue from four to six lanes per the long
range highway plan
- Prowde dual left tum lanes on the northbound approach of
Kanoelehua Avenue to Puamako Street
- Convert the existing right tum only lane on the northbound
approach of Kanoelehua Avenue to a shared through/right tum
lane
- Widen the eastbound approach of Puamako Street to prowde one
' left tum lane, one shared throughlleft tum lane, one through lane,
and one excusive nght tum lane.
` - Widen the westbound approach of Puainako Street to prowde two
. left tum lanes, two through lanes, and an exclusive ngM tum lane
The proposed improvements would sigrnficantly increase the capacity of the
intersection. As a result, higher traffic volumes could be accommodated v~nth shorter
traffic signal cycles
I Traffic Volumes
r Traffic fuming movement counts were taken during the morning peak, midday and
afternoon peak on Thursday, May 18, 2000, to determine existing traffic conditions at
the study intersection. Traffic fuming movement counts regwre workers to station
themselves by the intersection and record each vehicle movement as through or
fuming movements by 15 minute intervals The worksheet for the traffic counts is
~ included in the Appendix. The resultant hourly volumes for each of the three periods
` are summarized on Figure 2, with traffic volumes rounded to the nearest five vehicles
per hour.
The State Department of Transportation (SDOT) takes metered traffic counts every two
~ years at selected roadways on Hawaii. Traffic counts were taken at the study
intersection in 1994, 1996 and 1998 Counts were repeated in 1998 on two

r Traffic volumes on Kanoelehua Avenue appear to have decreased in the four year
penod This trend is clear on the north approach, although it is not clear ff traffic on the
south approach increased in 1998 due to the large disparity between the two count
volumes.
It appears that traffic volumes on Puainako Street increased in 1996 and then
i decreased in 1998 The east approach of Puainako Street shows the increase then
decrease, although in a small range The west approach also shows this increase then
r- decrease, although the size of the decrease in 1998 shows a large disparity. The
additional counts taken in October 1998 are significantly lower than the September
counts
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
r The first phase of the proposed development would be completed in three years, and
the total project is expected to be ~mpleted in five years. During this penod, ambient
traffic can be expected to increase due to regional growth. The traffic which would be
generated by the proposed project was added to the ambient traffic forecast to obtain
I the total with pro)ed traffic forecast
r

r
Ambient Traffic Forecast
The SOOT traffic counts show that traffic has been decreasing at the study intersedion.
This downward trend is not expected to continue and an increase in traffic was
r forecast The traffic forecasts from the "A Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the
Proposed Puainako Street Extension' (February 1997), prepared by The Traffic
Management Consultant, were used Based on an analysis of the growth between the
1995 existing data and 2020 forecasts, the following assumptions for traffic growth
rates were developed Existing traffic volumes on the westbound approach of
Puainako Street were increased 4 percent per year, traffic volumes on the other
approaches were increased 1.7 percent per year The ambient traffic forecasts for the
years 2003 and 2005 are shown on Figures 3 and 4, respectively, with volumes
t
rounded to the nearest five vehicles per hour
Proiecl Generated Traffic
The traditional three step procedure of trip generation, distribution and assignment was
used to forecast future traffic which would be generated by the proposed prged The
I trip generation step forecasts the number of new trips which would be produced in each
of the three study periods. The trip distribution step allocates these new taps by
direction of travel. Finally, the trip assignment step assigns the project generated taps
to the specific fuming movements at the study intersection.
The trip generation rates for a general office bulding from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trio Generation Handbook, (Sixth Edition, 1997) were used
to forecast AM and PM peak hour trips For this particular land use, anon-linear
equation was used to calculate the number of trips generated in the AM peak hour and
a linear equation was Lsed for the PM peak hour based on the floor area of the probed
space. Since the handbook does not have rates for the midday penod, a procedure
used by M&E Pacific in the `A Traffic Impact Analysis Report Closure of Aupuni Street
for the County Building Expansion' (February 1998) was used. The ratios of midday
hour to AM peak hour taps counted at the County building were used to factor the

forecast volume of AM peak hour taps The inbound taps were factored by two-thirds
and the outbound taps by a factor of two
For the first phase in 2003 with a 31,200 square foot budding area, the probed is
expected to generate 74 two-way trips in the AM peak hour, 63 taps in the midday hour,
and 114 taps in the PM peak hour With the full 40,000 square foot probed, there
would be 90 two-way taps in the AM peak hour, 77 trips in the midday hour, and 124
taps in the PM peak hour. The trip generation analysis is summarized on Table 1
The project-generated taps were then distributed to drtfierent directions of travel. It was
assumed that ten percent of the taps would be attracted to the Prince Kuhio Mall The
' remairnng 90 percent of the generated taps were assumed to use the Kanoelehua
_Avenue/Puainako Street intersection These tape were distributed fromRo the north,
south and west directions based on the existing d~stnbution of turns into and from the
east approach of Puainako Street. The trip distribution analysis is summarized on
Table 1.
The assignments of probed generated trips to the study intersed~on are shown on
Figures 5 and 6 for the years 2003 and 2005, respectively The traffic assignment
r
volumes were not rounded.
Total Forecast Volumes
The probed generated volumes were added to the ambient traffic forecasts to obtain the
total with probed traffic forecasts. The volumes from Figures 3 and 5 were combined to
obtain the total traffic forecasts for the year 2003, shown of Figure 7 The volumes
from Figures 4 and 6 were combined to obtain the total traffic forecasts for the year
2005, shown on Figure 8 The traffic volumes were rounded to the nearest five
vehicles per hour.

LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The Transportation Research Board has developed the concept of level of service to
quantify the quality of traffic flow on roadway facilities They have developed
procedures to calculate level of service value(s) by measuring traffic volumes against
the capacities of different types of roadway facilities Their H~ahwav Caoacdv Manual.
Soecial Reoort 209 (Third Edition, 1994) describes the various procedures For
signalized intersections, levels of service A to D are considered acceptable in areas
like Hilo A level of service F would indicate the need for mitigating measures
The procedure used to calculate the level of service of a signalized intersection is
summarized in the Appendix This procedure calculates levels of service for turning
movement lane groups, separate approaches, and the intersection as a whole, based
on the average delay The procedure was used to calculate levels of service of
existing traffic volumes from Figure 2 with the existing intersection design The
ambient and total traffic forecast volumes from Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8 were measured
against the proposed intersection design, which is expected to be in place by the time
the proposed probed is ready for occupancy The results of the analysis are
summarized on Table 2 The levels of service for each approach and the entire
intersedion are shown
The ICanoelehua Avenue/Puainako Street intersection ~s currently operating at level of
service C during the AM and PM peak periods with the existing intersection design it
is operating at level of service B during the midday period The individual approaches
are operating at levels of service B and C during the morning peak and midday periods,
' and from levels B to D in the afternoon peak These levels indicate that current traffic
operations are acceptable
With the proposed intersection improvements, levels of service for the ambient traffic
forecasts will improve to level of service B for all thnje analysis periods in both analysis
years All but the southbound approach will be operating at level of service B. The

ABSTRACT OF METHODOLOGY
for the
LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS OF SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
A very complex methodology is used to determine the capaGty and level
of service of signalized signals. The procedure is divided into the five modules
shown on Figure 9-3 The input data regwred for the analysis is shown on
Figure 9-4 The level of service criteria is shown below-

Subject. Rezoning Request, Matsuno Enterprises, Limited
Waiakea, Hilo, TMK: (3) 2-2-40:14 ~ 69
Thank you for providing Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) with
the information on the request from Matauno Enterprises, Limited to
rezone two (2) parcels of lands from RS-10 to CG-20.
These parcels are located directly across from our Panaewa Residence
Lots, separated only by the drainage canal. From your enclosed
conceptual site plan for the development, all building improvements
will be placed toward the back of the parcels. The noise and dust
problem during construction, as well as when completed, the commercial
activities will create nuisance for our residents. May we suggest
that you consider having a wider buffer with more greenery between
your development and our residential subdivision.
Should you have any questions, please call Linda Chinn, Acting Land
Management Division, at 587-6432 in Honolulu.
Aloha,

Dear Mr. McEhoy:
Subject: Rezoning Request - Matsuno Enterprises, Ltd.
Waialra. South Hlb> HI. TMK: 2-2-40: 14 & 69
Thank you for your letter of July 18, 2000 regarding the subject matter.
Please be informed that the applicant is aware of your concerns. The applicant
believes that it is ~t only good business practice but his practice to be "good neighbors". l:a
that regard, the applicant will require its contractor(s) to be diligent in their compliance with
applicable State Department of Health standards and regulations relating to construction
noise and dust. Should there be continuing concern, however, the applicant or its contractors
would be willing to meet with your office or any other appropriate entity to discuss additonal
ameliorative conditions for residerns in this area. These can relate to matters such as time
and date of coastntctioq notices of construction activity, and so forth.
At this tithe, the plans are only conceptual If the rewning is approved, pleas will
have to be prepared to reflect conditions of approval, and more so, the site's drainage
condition Further, the County Platuting Departmetrt's Rules relating to landscaping (Rule
No. 17 addresses the nced for buffer. This Rule requires a buffer be established between a
commercial developtttent and residentially zoned properties. A plan pursuant to that
requirement must be submitted for the review and approval of the Planning Director.
This landscaping requirement should thus help address the concern you raised.
We trust that we have responded to your comments adequately. If not or if there are
additional questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

TMK: 2-2-40: 14 and 69, Waiakea, South Htlo, Hawaii
Thazrk you for requesting our comments We do not recommend approval of the application until
the following concerns are resolved:
1 The property is within a mayor floodway Because flooding is a known problem in tins area,
drainage concems should be totally resolved pnor to approval of a zone change. No
improvements may be allowed which interfere with existing stone drains within the State
highway right-of--way or increase storm iunoff onto Kanoelehua Avenue or Puainako Street
Our Highways Division Hawatr Dismct Office needs ~o iroview and approve any
construction and grading plans which affect draznage on the subject property
2 The application assumes that the County plans on improving the Puainako
Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersection. This is untrue. The County 1'usinako Street
Extension project will not include improvements at this intersection. Consequently, we
anticipate that the Puauiako Street Extension project may worsen trafl;'ic congestion at this
intersection by directing new traffic to this inteisection.
3 To address the tragic bottleneck at the Puatnako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersection,
the Department of Transportation has proposed to undertake Puainako Street hprovements,
Kilauea Avenue to Kanoelehua Avenue, Phases I and II. This project will likely regmre
land acquisition finm the subject pazcels

4 The subject zoning application is not compatible with the Department of Transportation's
plans for intersection unprovements For safety reasons, we oppose a commercial dnveway
from the subject property to ether Kanoelehua Avenue or Puainako Street. The
dnveway(s) would be too close to the congested intersection. New guardrails will further
restnct highway access

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT
SUISAN COMMERCWUOFFICE COMPLEX
A commeroial and office complex is being proposed in Hilo, Hawaii. A study was
conducted to determme the traffic impacts of the proposed protect and the need for any
mitigation measures. This report documents the methodology and results of the study
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Matsuno Enterpnses proposes to develop a 40,000 square foot office and commerGal
complex on the southwest comer of Kanoelehua Avenue and Puainako Street. The
protect site is located on a 6.64 acre site ident~ed as Tax Map Key (3)2-2~0. 14 & 69
The sde is bounded by Kanoelehua Avenue on the west, Puainako Street on the north,
and residential lots to the south Awapuhi Street, which provides north-south access to
Kahaopea Street to the east of Kanoelehua Avenue, terminates at the south boundary
of the property. There is a 40 foot reserved right-of-way for a roadway extension
running through the protect site. The location of the protect site in relationship to the
local road system is shown on Figure 1
Possible uses in the proposed development could include general offices, restaurants,
and retail shops The protect would be bwlt ~n two phases. The first building of 31,200
square feet would be completed by the summer of 2003, in three years The second
budding which would bnng the total protect area to 40,000 square feet is protected to be
available two years thereafter. Primary access to the site would be from Puainako
Street.
Based on the development schedule and location of the proposed project, this study
analyzed the traffic impacts at the Kanoelehua Avenue/Puainako Street intersection
vnth traffic forecasts for three and five year terms

EXISTING CONDITIONS
A survey of the existing roadway and traffic conditions was made.
Roadway Conditions
Kanoelehua Avenue is the major artenal that provides north-south access between Hdo
and the Keaau and Volcano distracts It is a four lane divided artenal with turning lanes
and traffic signals at major cross streets, including the Puainako Street intersection It
is under the lunsdiction of the State Department of Transportation and is designated as
State Route 11
Puainako Street is an east-west collector road under the jurisdiction of the County It is
a four lane facility from Kanoelehua Avenue to IGlauea Street, and continues west as a
two lane facility to its terminus at Komohana Street. The General Plan classes
Puainako Street as a primary artenal with a minimum width of 120 feet.
The intersection of Kanoelehua Avenue and Puainako Street has separate left turn and
nght turn lanes on all approaches. Both Kanoelehua Avenue approaches have two
through lanes while both Puainako Street approaches have a single through lane The
left turn movement from Kanoelehua Avenue can only be made on a protected left turn
phase, while left turns from Puainako Street can be made on protected and permitted
phases.
Construction on the Pwanako Street Extension project is expected to begin within a
year This mayor project will make several improvements:
• Widen Pwanako Street to four lanes between Kilauea Avenue and Anela
Street.
• Realign Puainako Street between Anela Street and Komohona Street to
the north of its current alignment.
• Build a new roadway between Komohana Street and Kaumana Drive by
extending the new alignment.
3.
Although long range plans include improvements at the Kanoelehua AvenueiPuainako
Street intersection, they are not expelled to be made at this time The State
Department of Transportation has proposed to undertake Puainako Street
improvements, Kilauea Avenue to Kanoelehua Avenue, Phases I and II to address the
traffic bottleneck at this intersection
Traffic Volumes
Traffic tuming movement counts were taken dunng the morning peak, midday and
afternoon peak on Thursday, May 18, 2000, to determine existing traffic conditions at
the study intersection. Traffic tuming movement counts require workers to station
themselves by the intersection and record each vehiGe movement as through or
tuming movements by 15 minute intervals. The worksheet for the traffic counts is
included in the Appendix. The resultant hourly volumes for each of the three pencils
are summarized on Figure 2, with traffic volumes rounded to the nearest five vehicles
per hour
The State Department of Transportation (SDOT) takes metered traffic counts every two
years at selected roadways on Hawaii. Traffic counts were taken at the study
intersection in 1994, 1996 and 1998. Counts were repeated in 1998 on two
approaches. The additional counts taken in October 1998 are significantly lower than
the September counts. The trend of two-way daily traffic volumes on each of the four
approaches is shown below:

EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES

Traffic volumes on Kanoelehua Avenue appear to have decreased in the four year
period. This trend is clear on the north approach, although it is not clear d traffic on the
south approach increased in 1998 due to the large disparity between the lwo count
volumes
It appears that traffic volumes on Puainako Street increased in 1996 and then
decreased in 1998 The east approach of Puainako Street shows the increase then
decrease, although in a small range The west approach also shows this increase then
decrease, although the size of the decrease in 1998 shows a large disparity
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
The first phase of the proposed development would be completed in three years, and
the total project is expected to be completed in five years. During this period, ambient
traffic can be expected to increase due to regional growth. The traffic which would be
generated by the proposed project was added to the ambient traffic forecast to obtain
the total with project traffic forecast
Ambient Traffic Forecast
The SDOT tragic counts show that traffic has been decreasing at the study intersection
This downward trend is not expected to continue and an irxrease in traffic was
forecast. The traffic forecasts from the'A Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the
Proposed Puainako Street Extension' (February 1997), prepared by The Traffic
Management Consultant, were used Based on an analysis of the growth between the
1995 existing data and 2020 forecasts, the following assumptions for traffic growth
rates were developed. Existing traffic volumes on the westbound approach of
Puainako Street were increased 4 percent per year, traffic volumes on the other
approaches were increased 1.7 percent per year. The ambient traffic forecasts for the
years 2003 and 2005 are shown on Figures 3 and 4, respectively, with volumes
rounded to the nearest five vehicles per hour.

Project Generated Traffic
The traditional three step procedure of trip generation, distribution and assignment was
used to forecast future traffic which would be generated by the proposed project The
trip generation step forecasts the number of new taps which would be produced in each
of the three study periods The trip distribution step allocates these new taps by
direction of travel. Finally, the trip assignment step assigns the project generated trips
to the specific turning movements at the study intersection
The trip generation rates for a general office building from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trio Generation Handbook, (Sixth Edition, 1997) were used
to forecast AM and PM peak hour trips. For this particular land use, anon-linear
equation was used to calculate the number of trips generated in the AM peak hour and
a linear equation was used for the PM peak hour based on the floor area of the project
space. Since the handbook does not have rates for the midday period, a procedure
used by M&E Pacific in the "A Traffic Impact Analysis Report Closure of Aupuni Street
for the County Building Expansion' (February 1998) was used The ratios of midday
hour to AM peak hour trips counted at the County building were used to factor the
forecast volume of AM peak hour trips The inbound taps were factored by two-thirds
and the outbound taps by a factor of two
For the first phase in 2003 with a 31,200 square foot building area, the project is
expected to generate 74 two-way taps in the AM peak hour, 63 trips in the midday hour,
and 114 trips in the PM peak hour With the full 40,000 square foot project, there
would be 90 two-way trips in the AM peak hour, 77 trips in the midday hour, and 124
trips in the PM peak hour. The trip generation analysis is summarized on Table 1
The project-generated trips were then distributed to different directions of travel. It was
assumed that ten percent of the trips would be attracted to the Prince Kuhio Mall. The
remaining 90 percent of the generated trips were assumed to use the Kanoelehua

Avenue/Puainako Street intersection. These trips were distributed from/to the north,
south and west directions based on the existing distribution of turns into and from the
east approach of Puainako Street. The trip distribution analysis is summarized on
Table 1
The assignments of probed generated trips to the study intersection are shown on
Figures 5 and 6 for the years 2003 and 2005, respectively. The traffic assignment
volumes were not rounded
Total Forecast Volumes
The proled generated volumes were added to the ambient traffic forecasts to obtain the
total with probed traffic forecasts The volumes from Figures 3 and 5 were combined to
obtain the total traffic forecasts for the year 2003, shown of Figure 7 The volumes
from Figures 4 and 6 were combined to obtain the total traffic forecasts for the year
2005, shown on Figure 8 The traffic volumes were rounded to the nearest five
vehicles per hour
LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The Transportation Research Board has developed the concept of level of service to
quantify the quality of traffic flow on roadway facilities. They have developed
procedures to calculate level of service value(s) by measuring traffic volumes against
the capacities of different types of roadway facilities. Their Hiahwav Caoadty Manual.
Saecial Reoort 209 (Third Edition, 1994) describes the various procedures. For
signalized intersections, levels of service A to D are considered acceptable in areas
like Hdo. A lave! of service F would indicate the need for mitigating measures.
The procedure used to calculate the level of service of a signalized intersedion is
summarized in the Appendix. This procedure calculates levels of service for fuming
movement lane groups, separate approaches, and the intersection as a whole, based
on the average delay. The procedure was used to calculate levels of service of

existing traffic volumes from Figure 2 with the existing intersection design. The
ambient and total traffic forecast volumes from Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8 were measured
against the proposed intersection design, which is expected to be in place by the time
the proposed project is ready for occupancy. The results of the analysis are
summarized on Table 2. The levels of service for each approach and the entire
intersection are shown.
The Kanoelehua Avenue/Puamako Street intersection is cun•ently operating at level of
service C during the AM, Midday and PM periods with the existrng intersection design
The individual approaches are operating at levels of service B and C during the
moming peak and midday periods, and at levels C and D in the afternoon peak. These
levels indicate that cun'ent traffic operations are acceptable.
Intersection levels of service are forecast to remain at C during the moming and
midday periods with the increase in ambient traffic to 2003 and 2005. The intersection
level of service is forecast to decreast to D in the 2003 PM peak and remain at that
level to 2005. Although the PM peak level of service is forecast to decrease, rt is still at
an acceptable level. This analysis indicates that the ambient traffic growth could be
accommodated by the current intersection design.
With the additional traffic generated by the proposed protect, intersection levels of
service are forecast to remain at C during the moming and midday periods to 2003 and
2005 These are the same levels of service as the ambient forecasts and indicate no
adverse traffic impact during these periods During the PM peak, intersection levels of
service are forecast to remain at D for both forecast years, the same as the ambient
forecasts This would indicate no adverse traffic impact at the intersection level.
However, the westbound and southbound approaches are forecast to operate at level
of service E. These two approaches have the critical movements of the intersection
and serve the outbound traffic from Prints Kuhio Mall and southbound commuter traffic,
respectively. The proposed State Department of Transportation improvements for the
Kanoelehua Avenue/Puainako Street intersection could serve as mitigating measures

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed project is not expected to have adverse traffic impacts on the adjacent
road system However, proposed traffic improvements at the Kanoelehua ~nue/
Puainako Street intersection would mdigate some of the traffic impacts forefEast in the

In Mr. E~ke'a letter to Ms. Virginia Goldstein, dated October 31,
2000, ho says that there xers concerns raised at the Planniaq
Commission's October 20~' meatiag regarding traffic and potential
"quality of life" impacts to surrounding residences.
Mr. Suke goes on to propose a "quick fix" mitigation measure by
developing the project in phases. Phase One xould consist of just
less than one half of the planned 42,480 square foot project xith
no more than 60 parking stalls.
Ha adds that the balance of the project, or Phase Txo, xould be
subject to further traffic study and implementation of additional
traffic mitigation measures, if required.
Regardless of Mr. Ehka's new proposal, the fact remains the same.
The project is no longer a single family dwllinq xith one or two
cars entering and exiting the drivexay. 60 parking stalls means
that there are 60 more vehicles exiting onto Puainako Straat and
these 60 more vehicles xill increase the chances for serious
traffic conPlicta xith those turning left from Pilipaa 3traet.
To allox Mr. Eke and D[r. Matsuao to keep the right turn only ezit
onto Puasnako Street xithout further traffic mitigation measures is
unacceptable and very irresponsible.
Please ~ not approve this project until Mr. Perks sad his engineer
can comp~t}p xith a solutiop that rill eliminate the potential for
serious ~ fic con€lict ;t Pilipaa Street.
They have al~a dyj e g some helpful hints.

This letter is a follow-up letter to your response dated 25 September 2000
regarding the development of the area between Pilipa'a Street and Kanoelehua
Avenue.
1. In item #3 of your letter, you stated that you would be contacting the local
office of the State Department of Hawaiian Homes and land to discuss the
issues that I raised; "and if appropriate, have a meeting with residents prlor
to the October 20th public hearing." Was there such contact made I would
be interested in knowing the outcome. Apparently, you found it not
appropriate to meet with residents prior to the October 20th public hearing -
for I received no letter of invitation if such was held.
2. As for item #5, let's talk about the traffic. Unless you or the engineer himself/
herself live in Pana'ewa, you have no idea of the traffic that the residents of
Pana'ewa have to deal with. Such terms in sections b, c, & d in your letter
like "po~entlal traffic", "aignMcanUy higher", "poterHlai conflicts", and "some
measure of traffic impact" offers me no guarantee of safety. The intersection
at Pilipa'a Street and Pu'ainako has gone ignored for some time by the
county; and perhaps you could help and shed some light on this issue with
the planning commission - or maybe it doesn't fall within the realm of your
kuleana. Ihave astrong-willed mother of 66 years old who moved willingly
to Pana`ewa in 1966 because of the State's need for her particular `aina in
Keaukaha for the airport ---she finds it difficult at all times of the day to
make a lc" •~ut of Pilipa'a Street unto Pu'ainako. The inconvenience for her
and other members of the community to take a right and "circumnavigate" the
Prince Kuhio Plaza is overnrhelming!
~..l:sr~ .

Again I remind you that the genealogical and historical aspects of Pana'ewa
play a significant role in the success of those that have no spiritual connection to this
place of setting.
In addition, I would take the major flooding of this particular area during the
heavy rainstorm as a sign of what needs to be planned and done. For as I mentioned
as before, if movements for development is "POND" in all aspects that gives respect to
this `aina of the mo`o herself, Pana`ewa than there should be no cause for alarm or
unnecessary worry as your planning continues.
I hope that dialogue continues in order to reach a level of understanding that
goes beyond the compound of economics, politics, social, and aesthetic aspects.

for a Change of Zone by changing the d~stnct classification from Single Family Residential
(RS-10) to General Commeraal (CG-20) for approximately 6 64 acres of land The property is
located on the southeastern corner of the Pu`ainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersection,

BAKER We are back to our first item on the agenda Staff, will you take over this
agenda item and present the this is a continuing hearing for the application for change of
zoning by changing distract classification for Single Family Resident (RS-10) to General
Commercial (CG-20) of approximately 6 64 acres of land Stafl'~
GAGORIK Thank you, Mr Chairman Eazl~er this morning, we had a site inspection
I'll go over again where the site is located This is Kanoelehua Avenue, Pu'ainako Street, the
Pnnce Kuhio Plaza located here The subject property is zoned RS-10 and located here with this
yellow area This morning, we did take a dnve out to the area We went on actually
Kaha`ope`a was blocked, so we went around the block, but we did dnve on Awapuhi and ended
l C-b0~brl~ /~~AC
behind the parcel We also drove along Pilipa`a Street and parked at the corner here of-, right
here, Pu`ainako and Ptlipa`a We also walked down to the front of the subtect property where
the proposed entrance and exit will be located on Pu`ainako, located here
Again, if you look at the site plan, Pu`ainako Street, Kanoelehua, this is the proposed access area
located here The Applicant has recommended a change in their proposed plans, which they will
discuss with us, but right here is the located area that is not in the flood zone, located here Are
there any questions
BAKER Commissioners, any questions for Stafl'~ Hearing none, will the
Applicants and its representative please wme forward Please raise your right hand Do you
swear to testify truthfully before the Hawaii County Planning Commission
FUKE I do
BAKER Thank you
FUKE Good morning, Mr Chairman, Members of the Commission Again, for
the record, my name is Sidney Fuke, I'm a planning consultant I'm here assisting the Applicant,
Matsuno Enterprises, on this particular project
I would also acknowledge, I would ?ike to acknowledge the presence of Ms Alma Yano, who
works with Suisan in behalf of the Applicant, she's seated to my right in the back of me And
we also have present the engineers that were responsible in developing the traffic impact study,
Mr Ed Harada and Mr Warren Yamamoto, both from M&E Pacific, and so if there are specific
questions relating to the traffic study, they will be in a position to respond to them
Just bringing the Commission up to date as far as like what has transpired within the last two
months, I guess, you know, because this matter has been deferred twice by this Planning
Commission, you know, we have had some communications with different homeowners or
families of homeowners in that azea And as recent as last evening, I had a meeting with the
Panaewa Hawaiian Homes Lands Community Association, and I believe I saw a representative,
Mr Gerald I guess he will be he probably may be testifying relative to that issue And I
think what lust to bung it to a point, I think, what was rather telling wastust sharing with you
what we discussed at last night's meeting, because I think that pretty much like captures the
essence of all of the issues surrounding this particular protect
One of the things that dealt with the drainage issue, largely because of the mator storm that
occurred here on this Island on November 1 ° and 2"d Can I borrow your Statl~
GIFFIN Yeah
FUKE This is a flood drainage study that was already done by Imata and
Associates, and it's already and it was submitted as part of the application And what this
Lust by reference is, although this was indicated on the discussed at the field trip, I Lust for
the record, Itust kind of wanted to amplify and reconfirm many of the things that were
represented at the field tnp Again, lust by way of references, this is the Pu`a,nako Street, this is
Kanoelehua, and Pilipa`a Street is located on the lower end of the board The sublect property ~s
shaded m I guess pinkish color in that area The area outlrned in blue or aqua ~s that area that's
the existing 30-foot wide drainage easement which separates the sublect property from the
Hawauan Homes Lands res~dent~al subdrvis~on, it's a 30-foot wide easement Awapuhi Street
over here is shaded in orange This area is which ~s partially shaded in pink is the site of the
church where we all stood
What this line shows generally in this direction over here, shows the Zone X, according to the
Flood Insurance Rate Map, and Zone X, moving back and mauka towards the Kau-Puna section
The balance of the property essentially falls within the AE or the flood zone area So based upon
existing County and Federal regwrements, the only area that's conceivable for some sort of
development without any extensive flood improvements being done on the property or
elsewhere, pretty much would be restricted to approximately about two, two and a half acre m
this general area duectly mauka and across of the existing church The balance of the property
would have to be deferred sublect to major drainage systems being done, you know, w~thm that
area
So I had shazed this information with the homeowners association last evenrng, and kind of
indicated to them that, you know, in I~ght of everything, given the development constrarnts of the
property, probably what will happen ~s that you will find a development occumng on the Zone X
area with the balance probably being deferred for X number of years or maybe mdefimtely or
maybe never at all, depending on whatever happens to the flood wndition in this area From
what little I understand based upon drscussrons with the consulting engineer and with Public
Works, I understand that the overall County's plan is to have the water that comes in from the
Waiakea-Uka area eventually diverted towards the Four and a Half Mile Brrdge drainage system
in that azea and to minrm~ze the flow that comes into this area That ~s the County's long-range
plan When that gets implemented is a function of time and, of course, money
So what the Applicant was proposing to increase the developable area of the property was to
essentially, you know, with this would also be predicated upon the County making substantial
improvements up in the Waiakea Homestead area, was relatrve to thrs particular area, because
the drainage easement ~s, at this particular location, on the farthest makai of this map over here,
and the culverts are located in this general d~rect~on, mid-way along the property That, in a
sense, Ike precipitated a lot of the problem that occurred on November 1`` and 2"d, because the
location of the drainage way was in no way Imed up with the existing culverts There are two
existing culverts in this area which also feeds towards the makai end or the downtown end of the
Pu`ainako Street, but what the Applicant was hoping to do was, based on the consulting
engineer's recommendation, is to have a I~ne channel that would essentially align the 30-foot
wide drainage easement consistent with the ex~sring culvert in this area and thus obviating the
need for this particular drainage easement But, nevertheless, this drainage easement could serve
as an effective visual and, of course, landscape buffer between the project and the homesteaders
in this area here, and also do a substantial amount of fill and thereby increasing the pad within
this area But notwithstanding what they're doing, you know, this general area, however, unless
the Federal and the County and State government work to eliminate all of the water in this area,
3
it would be difficult to have the zone map amended from AE to X to, you know, have a full
developable azea on the entire property
So what this, basically, suggests as the Staff kind of pointed out at the both of us pointed out at
the field trip, is that essentially looking at this site plan over here, the Zone X area kind of like
falls in this particular area So what the Applicant visualizes in the first phase is to develop
basically this portion
Unfortunately, access is limned because the State Highways Department is saying they will not
allow any access along Kanoelehua Avenue Awapuhi Street is privately owned, and we've
contacted the owners of the, excuse me, owners of Awapuhi Street, and at this point in time, they
do not wish to allow access, you know, for this property So the unfortunate constraint is that at
this point in time is that the only legal access to the site comes in from Pu`ainako Avenue The
area of the proposed access which would be farthest away from Kanoelehua Avenue is generally
in the vicinity of the existing driveway where we were at this morning, and that driveway is
approximately like about a hundred yards from the intersection ofPilipa`a Street and Pu`ainako
Avenue So what we are proposing as amended condition, I had written a letter to the Planning
Director and the Commission, and 1 have it kind of like made the bracketed and underscored and
all this stuff, you know, as proposed amendments But essentially what we are suggesting is that
the development be developed or approved in two phases, with the first phase be limited to a
protect that would generate no more than 60 pazking stalls, and that's how you can control the
size of the building And, you know, at first I was thinking about whether you should do the size
of the building, but really like since the impact relates more to traffic, that you should and
traffic translates to cars, I mean cars translate to traffic rather, so then it's best to lust kind of
limit it to the number of cars So whatever the Code requires, then the maximum number of
developable spaces would be a protect that would not exceed 60 stalls, exclusive of any
handicapped or loading stalls
In addition to that, what we are also proposing is and then in conjunction of that, of course,
there would be also a requirement that they make improvements as required by the County
and/or State regarding the appropriate accel and deceleration lane or separate dedicated lane
along Pu`ainako Avenue to service the project
We are also suggesting, as a condition, that the location of this any bwldmg within this area,
also take into account that there may eventually be the State may eventually allow a right turn
in and a right turn out kind of movement, and so we don't want to have the bwldmg situated in a
way where it frustrates that opportunity from happening So we are somewhat optimistic that,
you know, if the project is approved and then, you know, you have existing traffic, that maybe
the State might make some concession as they did with the KTA complex eventually to allow for
limited right turn in, right turn out kind of movements And so to allow for that kind of
prospects, what we are suggesting as a proposed condition is that as part of the plan approval
process, that the Applicant prepare plans and show for eventual right turn and nght tum out
movement If it doesn't materialize, it doesn't materialize, but if it does, then the State makes
that concession that it makes it a very real possibility
4
And we are also suggesting that as far as the if and when the balance of the project is
improved, you know, as bearing m mind that, you know, what the what this is showing ~s a
prototypical, Itke about 43, 42-43,000 square foot stze of retail or commerctal office bwldmg to
this azea But what we are suggesting is that as far as the balance of the project, before any
acnv~ty can occur m this area, they need to do, first submit a traffic impact study to for the
County Public Works Department, for their review and approval, and then based upon that
impact study, if the County regwres certain improvements, and we've kind of spelled out what
these improvements may be, these would be, for example, like providing the right turn in, right
turn out along Kanoelehua Avenue, possible signalization at the Pilipa`a and Pu`ainako Street
intersection, and also the acceleration lane from Pilipa`a Street moving towards the Railroad
Avenue side You know, if all of these additional mitigations are needed according to what the
traffic study and the Public Works Department would require, well, that would be a requirement
before they can even proceed further
In deference also to the concerns that the some of the homeowners have raised previously and
also like last night, what we represented was that there would beano structure setback 60 feet
from the Pu`ainako Avenue Maybe that's neither here nor there, largely because of the existing
drainage condition, but the fact still remains is that it would be cleazly stated that there would be
no structure 60 feet from the Pu`ainako Avenue so that the home that's under construction right
now, I think we all saw the home that was under construction, would not have any of its views
impeded by any structures in that area
And related to that, of course, is to also have a 60-foot setback from the all Residential zone so,
which actually would be that area adjacent to the Hawaiian Homestead lot as well as this church
And within this 60-foot azea then there would be no trash bins or those things which are noxious
If the mitigation plan calls for the construction of a fence, well, the fence would have to be
constructed, as well
In this situation here adjacent to the Hawanan Homesteads Subdivision, however, there is a, as I
mentioned earlier, that 30-foot wide drainage easement which serves essentially as a natural
buffer But notwithstanding that, I think, like last night, one of the homeowners raised a concern
about not so much visual, but they were womed about safety, you know, by preventing or
minimizing the opportunity for people who are visiting or trying to do kolohe in this kind of area,
kind of coming to that area, so they were talking more about like fence And so I think fence
would probably be the requirement
So I've had that those conditions, added conditions kind of like listed, and the Staff had
presented it to you, and this would be in addition to whatever the Department's current Staff s
recommendation would be, you know, with some measure of modifications And we believe that
with these additional conditions that many of the concerns that were raised, you know, have been
addressed You know, understandably, you're dealing with an urban area, and it's a commercial
urban area, so it's to be expected that there's going to be traffic in that area It's not a situation
where you're trying to do a development in a totally quiet residential area where there is no
traffic and so you, you know, there's no impact But, unfortunately, this is in an area where
understandably it's a heavily used area, and that's why you have commercial interest in that azea
5
And any commercial area, like in downtown, you will have traffic So with that, I am prepared
to answer questions and maybe respond to other questions that the community may have
BAKER Commtss~oners, any questions for the Applicant's representattve~
Planning Director Goldstetn
GOLDSTEIN On this - I'll go after Mr Souza
BAKER Okay Commissioner Souza
SOUZA Mr Fuke, on the first map you showed us, you had a proposed channel
where you're going to flood water to the existing drainage or you were going to undo the present
line of yeah, you see that, you proposed you proposed making another flood channel, nght~
FUKE What the engineers are recommending, to increase the developabtlity of
the property, ~s that this existing drainage easement would have to be realigned in this direction
over here, as shown in the dotted line, and have a concrete Ime so that ~t would tie m with these
two existing culverts that's that goes under Pu`ainako Street
SOUZA Okay On your existing application, your plan
FUKE Okay
SOUZA Ex~sttng plan that you resubmitted, where would the road come out,
showing on this map with the proposed, nght on the flood
FUKE No, the road would generally be in this vicinity over here
SOUZA So the road would go over the flood dra~nage~
FUKE A portion of ~t may have to, yeah It would have to be -
SOUZA Go over the flood drainage
FUKE Correct So that becomes like, from an engineering standpoint, they would
have to kind of work ~t out, but it falls generally m that area where the proposed entrance to the
protect would be, correct
SOUZA Thank you
BAKER Any other questions before the If not, Planning Director and then -
GOLDSTEIN Partly, this is a question for Mr Fuke Partly in response to the flood
problems, you're suggesting that the development be in phases and that the first phase be lust the
portion that's outside of the flood channel, drainage way Am I reading you nght~
6
FUKE Not necessarily suggesting that the first phase be in that area where it's
presently Zone X, because if the developer or the Applicant rs willing to make substantial
drainage improvements to address the AE zone, they may and is successful in getting a FEMA
map amendment, then they may want to develop other than where it's in presently Zone X I
was lust kind of making the comment that the least expensive way, azea probably at this point in
time would be in that area that's in Zone X, and so that would be directly across of the church,
but that's really like the Applicant's call whether they wish to, you know, spend more monies to
create a more developable area What we were suggesting, however, is that wherever the
property is developed, subject to appropriate County and Federal requirements, they'd address
the drainage considerations Wherever the whatever is developed on that site, it would be
capped at no more than a project that generates 60 required parking stalls
GOLDSTEIN But that may be anywhere on that parcel
FUKE That's correct Still subject to, like the added design restrictions on the
setback for structures from Pu`ainako Street as well as the waste and the noise considerations for
the adjoining property owners, residential subdivisions
GOLDSTEIN Well, what I had been thinking, given your proposal to do phase
development, was if it were possible, because there are, you know, particular azeas that you are
looking at to develop first, was to modify your proposed conditions so that the effective, the
change of zone would be effective only for that area involved in the Phase I, and then the second,
whenever you get into the second phase, then the change of zone for that area then would be, at
that point, become effective, i e ,condition the zone so that it's based upon the effective date
of the zone would be based upon first phase and second phase
FUKE That's another way of accomplishing, I think, the same thing, correct But
I think the only difficulty is just trying to identify - You know, usually when you do
incremental, then you're tied in by - I guess you could, you could tie it in by the number of
parking stalls rather than acreage or the number of units, as has been done with other projects
that were incrementally zoned So in this situation, we are suggesting that you tie if it's going
to be incrementally zoned, and it amounts to an incremental zoning, that what we are proposing,
that the increments be tied in to the number of required parking stalls
GOLDSTEIN I think that's a little bit more difficult to enforce, however, rather than if he
had specific areas, you know, say -
FUKE By area
GOLDSTEIN By area, yeah And I guess my understanding was that you were looking
at the Area X as your first phase and if that's -
BAKER Okay
GOLDSTEIN If that's the case, then I think that it would work
7
FUKE Yeah Well, if that's the case, then the area within the Zone X area,
Planning Director, I think would approximate about two and a half acres So if the first
increment is two and a half acres, which amounts to a little more than a third of the ensue
protect, you know, that would be an alternative way of accomplishing the same thing And it's
going to be two and a half acres within the Zone AE or Zone X, and wherever he chooses to do,
he still would have to be subject to the drainage requirements then That would also be
acceptable
BAKER I have two Commissioners have questions, Commissioner Togashi, and
then after that Commissioner Fulikawa Commissioner Togashi
TOGASHI Thank you, Mr Chairman
BAKER Go ahead
TOGASHI Yeah, I was curious about your new Condition D, and you have provision
for accelerate, acceleration and a merging lane along Pu`ainako, and I notice it wasn't in the
onginal conditions from Planning Director and it wasn't in the previous letter pnor to the and I
was curious why would this be a mitigation rather than perhaps maybe even a detnment, because
I know there was concern about people making a left from Pili -
FUKE Correct
TOGASHI So anytime you're adding more traffic
FUKE Yeah
TOGASHI To me, it's kind of like you have this it's more of a detnment, or is this
the, I guess maybe the feeling of the community there Are they
FUKE Well, this is for the benefit of the hearing audience because they don't
have this in here, but what you're refemng to is the added mitigation measures which the
developer would be responsible in assuming if they do the second phase, whether it's by number
of stalls or the acreages It's the word would be acceleration/merging lane along Pu`ainako
Street from Pilipa`a Street, right, that's the reference you're referring to
TOGASHI Right
FUKE This came about as a result of last night's meeting One ofthe suggestions
made by the community member was that they were having a hard time making a right sum from
Pilipa`a Street, you know, moving towazds Railroad Avenue, and they were saying that, you
know, perhaps having that requirement in could mitigate the overall traffic situation in that area,
so this is why we are suggesting that this be a possible item that may have to be done by the
developer if the traffic study proves that it's needed So it wasn't -
TOGASHi Anyway -
8
FUKE Something that we had onginally -
TOGASHI Right
FUKE Recommended, but -
TOGASHI Right
FUKE It was in response to last night's meeting
TOGASHI I see Anyway, I do have another question on your new Condition E, and
the new Condrt~on E, m the second paragraph, reads that pnor to submittal or plans for plan
approval, the Applicant shall secure the input of the immediate adjoining residential
homeowners
FUKE Correct
TOGASHI And I was concerned about or curious about what you meant by input Is
this lust like wntmg a letter to the people there and that would suffice as faz as
FUKE Well -
TOGASHI Inputs I mean -
FUKE Yeah, well, I dunk my definition of input would have been like having a
meeting like last night and showing the plans, getting then feedback
TOGASHI It's not lust venting a letter or you know, which, to me, is Ike you
know what I'm saying, rights It's another means of-
FUKE Correct
TOGASHI Receiving input, and that's probably perhaps a weak form
FUKE Yeah, I wouldn't think that would be the appropnate form of securing
input I think that the community needs to have a verbal explanation of what ~s intended, get
your feedback, and you make some revisions and then submit the plans to the Planning Director
for plan approval That was -
TOGASHI Maybe you should say -
FUKE At least my intent
TOGASHI In the form of a meeting or something
9
FUKE It could be, yeah Shall secure the input in the form of a community
meeting, yeah
BAKER Comm~ss~oner Ful~kawa
FUJIKAWA Yeah, let's see My question ~s here You have your engineers doing the
drvertmg of the water flow on the property to the low pant, to the Pu`ainako Street What did
the County say, what ~s their what do they have under the street as far as culverts Is ~t big
enough This ~s the problem 1 think that happened, that the culvert ~s too small where the gush
of water can't go through, all of it
FUKE That may be the ultimate recommendation If you go ahead with the if
this engineer's, ~f this consulting engineer's proposal ~s the one that's accepted by the County, ~t
may result in the enlargement of the culverts
FUJIKAWA Culverts
FUKE That presently goes under Pu`ainako Street nght now I checked the files
that was done by the engineers There's actually two 24-inch culverts
FUJIKAWA Okay
FUKE Right at this point over there And there's also Ike two culverts, one
24-inch and one 36-inch, that crosses the main highway from the KTA area
FUJIKAWA I see
FUKE And into the property
FUJIKAWA Now the other question I have here is by the grammar school right up here,
Kap~`olani School Now what size culvert ~s there under the Kilauea Street
FUKE I don't know
FUJIKAWA You don't know
FUKE No
FUJIKAWA But they don't have the flood problem, do they
FUKE I'm not aware of that, no
FUJIKAWA Okay Thank you
FUKE Okay

BAKER Comm~ss~oners, any further questions for the Applicant and their
representatrve~ Commissioner Kubota
KUBOTA Mr Chair, I lust have a point of clazification that I'd like to make, going
back to the rezoning, granting or not granting Whether ~f we do grant rezoning for 2 5 acres
or whatever the number happens to be, ~t still gives the option to the Applicant to construct it
anywhere within the entire property with proper, with proper measures taken for flooding and so
forth So where does limiting the number of acreage change the rezoning I can't see the
connection between granting rezomng for the enure property versus granting it for 2'/z or 3 acres
unless we specifically specify that that development shall be within the X, Zone X area I don't
see limitation of acreage
BAKER I agree with you My understanding was that the 2 5 would have been to
the upper part above that Ime of the zoning so that it would not be m the heavy extended -
FUJIKAWA Sure
BAKER Flood azea
KUBOTA But that's not what I hear in the discussion going forth between -
BAKER Could you clanfy that
KUBOTA The Applicant and -
BAKER Yeah
KUBOTA Our Director
BAKER Could you clazify than
FUKE Sure The reason why when I had proposed the 60-parking stall Itmttat~on
~s that this was designed specifically to address, to help address the traffic issue So by having
the protect approved in phases, with traffic as being the cntena, the major cnter~on, then what
happens ~s that before you can move into the other portion of the protect, you have to have a
traffic study and the Applicant would then have to be responsible in making further m~t~gation
measures What the Planning Director was suggesting is that as an altematrve, rather than doing
a 60-stall parking limitation, maybe you should consider having it zoned by increments by
acreage That's another option However, I think that if you if the concern is principally one
of traffic, then, you know, rt may be more appropriate to look at ~t from a parking regwrement
standpoint, because the more I thought about it, you know, Planning Director, I was thinking
about it, ~f you have a 2'/z acre of development, then it ~s possible that you could go three stones
and increase the number of parking area and thus maybe dilute the overall intent, you know, of
the basis for an incremental zoning
11
GOLDSTEIN I have my initial questions were under the assumption, and perhaps that
assumption was wrong and that I didn't quite hear you right at the site inspection, but it was that
the first phase would be in the area that's to the southwest of the property, and so that's why I
was considering -
FUKE Correct
GOLDSTEIN The possibility of incremental zoning Because I agree with what
Commissioner Kubota is saying It makes sense if it is limited to a geographical area, so to
speak And if drainage was not the consideration for phasing and it was a matter of parking and
the traffic, then that's a totally different thing, too
FUKE I'm sorry for that misunderstanding
t:70LDSTEIN Yeah
FUKE Actually, see what I was kind of noting, then and also now, is that at this
point in time, it would probably be most prudent to develop only in the Zone X area, because to
develop in the Zone AE azea, substantial improvements would have to be made, not only on site
but off site, that would make any 2'/x acre commercial development rather unfeasible So I think
that's the logical situation But a lot of times logic doesn't apply when you deal with developers,
so I needed to kind of, you know, bring that out and not have it necessarily try to be limiting it to
only acreage as much as if the concern is tralFc, well, the number of cazs going in and out of the
property, you know, you're limited by the number of parking stalls, and that's how you can have
a good gauge So that's the reason for the suggestion
BAKER Sidney, my concern is in line with Commissioner Kubota, is that, well, we
have to look at the flooding, and a good example, and that's why we wanted that site inspection,
and it happened that we had a big rain and we had a big storm and we saw a lot of extensive
flooding in the area, and so we have to be concerned about flooding And as planners in
approving things like this, that we're not lust passing these things in an azea that is going to be
total chaos and it will make worse to the area Now if you keep it in the upper azea, then the
building would be in a higher ground, would be less prone to a flooding azea But we have to
also consider where the pazking lot going to be, the cars crossing through the entrance, cars being
flooded We saw cars being damaged during this flood, these kind of things happening
Then we have the concern of the traffic You're talking about where you're going to come out,
and it's over the flood zone area With the amount of water coming down there, everything,
cannot either get out or get in Or if you're driving in there, you get washed out Then making
the turn coming out to the highway, and looking at the you're going to have a lane, as you
explained, and then you're turning nght again on there There's so much traffic You talked
about it being a commercial area so there's a traffic area, but then again, as planners, do we add
more traffic to that traffic azea We're expanding a Commercial zone beyond the commercial
area These are the things I'm wrestling with
12
So it's not only to make an easy decision and saying yeah, let's grant this because there's it's a
commercial area, there's a lot of trafric there Are we going to put intury upon intury~ It's a bad
azea, it's a very serous area These are the cond~t~ons that we got to look, as planners, and we
have to hear from the public, too We don't know what kind of meeting you had with those
people and ~f they're all in agreement, but those people that Irve there, they're going to be getting
more problems in that area now with this protect being there How much more, how much more
traffics That's the kind of concerns we have
We had a lady come to the last meeting who complained about her property being next to ~t, but
if you're not going to build there, then maybe that protect will not affect her because you're only
looking at the up site But we want to lock mthat if-, Ike how the Planning Duector said, ~f
you're going to continue to do other protects, then it has to come before the Commission so that
whoever the Comm~ss~oners are at that time, they can look at the situation and take another look
at the flood zone There's a lot of ifs If they improve the water Turn it the other way If it
looks Ike a duck and ~t walks like a duck, it must be a duck But I'm not going to go with all
these ifs As a planning person, I want to see what I have in front of me now to make that
decision, and nght now the way I look at this, it's not looking too good to me, and don't look
like no duck
KUBOTA One more -
BAKER Commissioner Kubota
KUBOTA I have one more question When you talk about six parking stalls that are
required, not being famil~az with the requirement, and you refer to this incremental, the first
phase of your incremental development being approximately one-third of the full-blown
development if ~t were to take place, 60 would encompass the requirement, fulfill the
requvement for the one-thud or the entire full-blown development
FUKE No Sixty would be would translate to approximately Ike about
18,000 square feet building, commercial office or commercial retail Just to give you a sense of
scale, 18,000 square foot building would be probably about the size of ~f it's two-story, maybe
like American Savings Bank, because you don't or like the Central Pacific Bank area
KUBOTA You can see I don't understand square footage in terms of -
FUKE Yeah, so -
KUBOTA Okay Thank you
FUKE So ~f you look at -
KUBOTA I appreciate that
FUKE Like, yeah, if you look at Central Pacific Bank, it's a two-story budding
It probably has like about 9,000 nine, ten, it's about 20,000, 15-20,000 square feet, so that
13
would be the sense of scale And so you would limit that by the number of parking stalls, so you
would have like 60 parking stalls, exclusive of whatever is required for handicapped or loading
zone So the 60 park to answer your question directly, the 60 parking stalls would directly
relate to what would go on the protect Any other development would have to provide its own
parking
KUBOTA I see
FUKE Commensurate with what the Zoning Code says
KUBOTA So lust mathematically figuring out, ~t could be a possible of 180 parking
stalls that would be required ~f the first increment is above one-thud of the -
FUKE That's correct
KUBOTA Full blown protect Thank you
FUKE Sure
BAKER Commissioner Fulikawa
FUJIKAWA Yeah, Mr Fuke, ~s it hard ~s n for provide - You were saying that you
want to use atwo-point-somewhat acre of land right now for development, to submit a lot
adjustment line for that part~cular~
FUKE Well, if there's many ways of looking at ~t, I guess If you could do rt
like the way that we're suggesting, ~f the -
FUJIKAWA Sure
FUKE Commission is predisposed -
FUJIKAWA Right
FUKE To do ~t, just by limiting n to 60 parking stalls, and that directly addresses
the traffic issue
FUJIKAWA Okay
FUKE Wherever the property is being developed You could I~m~t a to the way
the Planning Director ~s suggesting, maybe just I~miting it to 2 5 acres and in an area that's
covered by Zone X, for example, or you know, be more specific in saying that, what's that,
northwest quadrant or whatever that might be, you know, you could limit it like that And also
have as a condition, as there have been in other situations, where when that development occurs
in the 2'/s acre area, then the Applicant ~s required to submit kind of like a metes and bounds
descnpt~on that would cleazly ~dent~fy this ~s -
14
FUJIKAWA Okay
FUKE Your area So it need not necessarily be done at this stage or written into
the zoning ordinance that this is Phase I and Phase II
FUJIKAWA Yeah Okay
BAKER We'll take afive-minute recess
RECESSED The Chairman called a short recess at 11 ()4 a.m
RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 11 09 a m
BAKER. The Planning Commission meeting will come back to order
Commissioners, any questions of the Applicant? Later, if you wish, and if there is, you can,
we can call them back Will you please step back and from the public, is anyone in the public
wishing to testify on this agenda items Please come forward Anyone else from the audience
want to come forwards Please come forward. We have four three chairs up here And then
can you all raise your right hand Anyone else out there in the audience please raise your
stand and raise your hand Do you swear and affirm to testity truthfully before the Hawaii
County Planning Commission
TESTIFIERS I do
BAKER: Okay Thank you Ma'am, we'll let you go first, women first
KEL[IPIO Oh, to ask questtons~
BAKER To give us a statement
KELIIPIO Oh
BAKER To give us your position And after you give us your statement and your
position, we'll ask you yueshons or they may not So you can go torward first
KEL[IPIO When do 1 ask questions
BAKER To ask questions, after your statement
KELIIPIO Okay
BAKER You can add your questions in there as part of your statement
KELIIPIO Well, actually, I already wrote a statement
15
BAKER. Yes
KELIIPIO To everyone and -
BAKER: Do you want to summariu~
KELIIPIO Well, basically, [ am still opposed to Mr Fuke's -
BAKER. Okay
KELIIPIO Yes
BAKER Name, address
KELIIPIO: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry My name is Josephine Keltipto My mailing
address is P O Box 368, Kealakekua, Hawaii My mother, Myra, and my brother, Adam
Keliipio, both live on Pilipa`a Street
BAKER Okay
KELIIPIO• And will be affected by Mr Fuke's right turn out access
BAKER Okay So you can go from there
KELIIPIO• Okay Thanks In my written testimony, I basically say that Mr Fuke's
Phase I of tits pmlect, which limits n to 60 stalls, is not good enough It I feel it's still going
to impact residents that turn make left turns from Pihpa`a Street And I think that he
should I was listening to him earlier, and i don't think he's exhausted everything, every
option of how to get out of his property
BAKER Okay Maybe you can explain why you think that way You're talking
about the state of the -
KELIIPIO He mentioned that the State would not give him access onto the highway
Well, from what 1 learned from the State, the State lust dcesn't give access, you have to apply
for it And the only reason why the State gave access to KTA was because the cars were
backing up onto Pu`amako Street, so that's when the State participated m opening up that
access But otherwise, the State usually doesn't open up accesses of that sort, it's not a usual
thing that they do, but it had to do with relieving traf5c on Pu`amako Street So the proper
way for Mr Fuke is, and oY course, that's controlled access highway, at least that's the term
that was used by the engineer, is for Mr Fuke to apply u~ access the highway And I
understand it's a long, drawn-out process, and very, very expensive
16
Now there's another option, and you guys went to Awapuht Street, it's pnvately owned, but
did Mr Fuke ask if fits tf Mr Matsuno could buy the streets It's privately owned by
someone But I'm wondenng it he asked tf they could buy the street s<t that they could use the
street to get out
BAKER Yeah, those are opttttns that we can ask them for you
KEL[IPIO. Okay Thanks
BAKER We can ask that for you, because they're going to have a chance to come
back up and he is taking notes on what you're saying so he can address that Any other
anything else you would like to share with us befi~re we ask questions?
KELIIPIO Well, he mentioned that there are two 24-inch -
BAKER Culverts
KELIIPIO• Culverts under that Pu`atnako Street and, you know, 24 inches isn't very
big
BAKER: Correct
KELI[PIO• It's real small, and I've seen culverts to Kona that are my height, you
kmiw, s<i I'm kind of wondering, since Htlo's got more water than Kona, how come the
culverts under there aren't larger I mean, you know, maybe I dust thought that it was kind
of funny to know that it's that tiny
BAKER Correct We were thinking the same thing Anything else, ma'am,
before I ask the Commissioners tf they have any questions for your
KELIIPIO I think those are the -
BAKER Okay
KELIIPIO Main points I wanted to -
BAKER All nght
KELIIPIO Bring up
BAKER Let me ask the Commissioners, Commissioners, do you have any
questions for the lady, for our teshmony~ Commissioner Giffin
GIFFIN Mrs Kelupxt, m the one, two, three, tour, the fifth paragraph of your
letter, you talk ahout traffic and, you know, how hard it is to even turn nght onto Pu`ainako
17
When you're talking about traffic ts, like, for example, what we saw this morntng, is that
typtcal~ Or when you're referring to traffic, it's worse than what we saw this morntng?
KELIIPIO: I think what you saw this morning was mild compared to what it usually
is when businesses open up m that area
GIFFIN. Okay
KELIIPIO Then it's a little I mean, let's put tt this way I would not have been
able to cross that road this morning
GIFFIN Okay
KELIIPIO You know
GIFFIN. Spec[&cally during what hours, or is that
KELIIPIO Probably lunch time
G[FFIN• Okay
KELIIPIO• Yeah When the mall opens up So we were there before nine, rtght~
GIFFIN. Yeah
KELIIPIO Amund -
GIFFIN Nu, no, no, no, we were there after nine
BAKER A little after nine
KELIIPIO Okay, right Okay, a little after nine
BAKER Around ten-ish
KELIIPIO I'm not sure if the entire well, I don't [funk the enure mall was open
yet, at least the stalls were still empty
BAKER And then on a weekend, tt would be drastically worse, is that correct
KELIIPIO Oh, yes, yeah Ltke I said, I you couldn't cross that road, I mean it
would be almost impossible
GIFFIN Okay Thank you.
IS
BAKER' 1 have those concerns, you know, I share to your concerns about and
you heard me ask questions and my concerns are And, yes, that paragraph where, you know,
that nght turn is and, yeah, it's unfortunate they cannot get out on that other street, you know,
if we're going to build on that end and if that other street would be a feasible thing that they
could look at, and those questtons we'll be asking Applicant's representative later Do have
something that you'd like to adds
KELIIP[O Yes, please
BAKER• Sure
KELI[PIO Could Mr Fuke maybe present an example to you people of something
exactly similar to that, that access, somewhere else in Htlo~
BAKER Okay
KELi1PI0. That's workings That's not impacting people
BAKER Okay Well, he can take note of that, and we'll address that
Commissioner FuJikawa
FUJIKAWA Yeah, when I asked Mr Fuke about the culvert under the street, you
know, it's not the developer's problem, it's a County issue Whether there is building or
developed land, the land hasn't been developed, the problem going to exist But I think that
the County has to look into that particular culvert situation, and that's the matter right there
It's not adeveloper's because that's a County street.
KELIIPIO Well, I don't know whose problem that ts, however, you're going to
asphalt the area
BAKER And you're going to add
KELIIPIO You're going to cause the water -
FUJIKAWA Yeah, this -
KELIIPIO Not to seep through that area
FUJIKAWA Where the question 1 wanted to find out from, the research that he got
from the County, what they got, to see what they're working with
BAKER So what Mr Fupkawa is saying is that his concern is, when he asked
that question was, you know, about that being increased or the size probably, he felt tt was a
different agency But your point of view is that by any added development would cause
greater water runofY besides flooding areas, and it's m a flood zone, and also whatever runoff
19
from that area would increase, so that's where you're coming from So we are taking all that
into consideration, yeah
KELIIPIO Thank you
BAKER And your points are well made Any other questions for the testifier? If
not, then next testifier
ANDRADE Thank you, Mr Chairman and Commission Members, we -
BAKER: Your name and address
ANDRADE I'm Ed Andrade I'm the East Hawat`i District Supervisor for the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands As has been made clear, our Waiakea Homestead is
right adjacent to this property
We certainly appreciate Mr Fuke's efforts and the efforts of the developer to meet with our
community and listen to their concerns and then come up with some changes to the
development to try to mitigate some of those concerns
However, we still have our testimony from before still stands that we still have mayor concerns
about the traffic that is going to increase in the area As you saw this morning, and for those
of you that frequent the area often, it is a high traffic area without this development Even
adding lust 60 parking stalls, well, that's that much more cars that are going to be added there.
And I wanted to point out that while we appreciate his new, added new Condition D, most of
what he talks about in that conditum as far as traffic mitigation measures would not take effect
until the second phase of this protect, so his 60-parking stall building will not cause, acanding
to this condition, any mrttgahon to the traffic, the current traffic in the area So we want to
make sure that that's real clear to the Commission
We share our community's concerns or feeLngs that more needs to be done to mveshgate the
purchase of Awapuhi Street, to Ixtssibly use that as an ingress/egress, using Kanoelehua
Avenue, and something needs to be done to discourage anybody coming in and out of that
development from turning into Pilipa`a Street and coming inw our homestead And then
alleviating the problem of our homesteaders leaving Pilipa`a Street to try to make a left hand
turn down to get to the highway. So no matter what the development is there, whether it's lust
a 60-stall development or an increase thereof, we feel that those things need to be addressed. I
don't think we would be satisfied with lust the status yuo, even with lust the 60-stall
development
I lust wanted to kind of shed some light on the culvert questum, since that came up The two
24-inch culverts that go under Pu`ainako Street there, matches the two 24-inch culverts that
bong the water into that flood channel under Kaha`ope`a Street, so it's that channel was only
designed to handle that amount of water The tlexidmg that occurred on November 1°' and 2nd
was a result of a failure in that drainage system somewhere up m Waiakea which forced more
20
water down into that area which couldn't be handled by that by the culverts nor the drainage
canal, and forced the water to over-top that drainage canal behind there
So that's pretty much our feeling Again, we like the idea of keeping a good 60-foot buffer
between the development and our homesteads, but we still feel that there needs to be more
done for the traffic
BAKER: Do you have any idea on how you can solve the traffic problem
ANDRADE No, I'm not a traffic engineer, but we had, the last time we were here,
we talked about maybe a roundabout in that area of Pilipa`a and Blockbuster intersection,
maybe that would work Again, something to discourage the traffic from turning back down
into Pilipa`a Something like a u-turn area where the people coming out there would have the
opportunity to just u-turn there and get right back down to the highway It's going to certainly
discourage them from going all the way down to Pilipa`a and then exiting at Kaha`ope`a where
there is no traffic light and is a lot more dangerous situation as far as crossing the highway
BAKER You represent what agency
ANDRADE. The Department of Hawauan Home Lands
BAKER Okay Now how does that affect because your side of the street is
residential, now if we approve this into a commercial zoning, it'll come we'll be having
other areas expanding the commercial zoning into that area of your side of the area, the district
will be changing. There was a lot of resistance by the people for even having the complex that
came up dust across the street, but now by expanding, what is the feeling of the areas that you
represent m this expansion of the zoning area
ANDRADE Okay Well, everything east of the project is our homestead The
Department owns everything from the Prince Kuhio side This property is actually that step
of property, this Matsuno property, as well as the Awapuhi Street properties, are really the
only fee simple properties m that whole area that's not that does not belong to Hawaiian
Home Lands Our plans for the back area is to continue to develop residences back there
That will necessanly bang more traffic, of course, into the area So if there is going to be
further commercial development, it would have to he only m that small step of land that we're
talking about, this property, and then they'd have to eliminate those houses that's along
Awapuhi Street You know, I'm not here to say that we shouldn't have that development
What I'm saying is that what we should have is maybe continued traffic studies so that the
people that live m the area are not impacted by the addrtwnal traffic that is coming through the
area
BAKER Commissioners, any questions for the tesh5er'' Commissioner Kubota
KUBOTA Mr Andrade
21
ANDRADE Yes
KUBOTA At our last meeting, I asked about the possibility of granting and this is
hypothetical, the impact of the right in, right out, off of Pu`ainako came up, and in that
discussion, I asked if Hawaiian Homes would possibly grant easement to this property or this
protect, and your response to that was that you didn't think the Board would do it Have you
had any discussions with the &iard subsequent to our meeting last month about this possibility
and perhaps work with the Applicants to alleviate the dire constraints of the traffic on
Pu`ainako as the Applicants claim that that is their only rightful egress/ingress I guess my
question is have you had conversations with your Board to see if they would even consider rte
ANDRADE No, I have not spoken with our Commission, but I did have discussions
with our land development people, our land or I should say our land management people in
our Oahu office as well our Homestead Services Division, which is really the division that f
fall under, so in other words, with my bosses in Honolulu in regard to this, and they, you
know, mirrored my comments at the last meeting that that really would not be a likely or even
a possible scenano For one reason, it would be bonging the traffic nght into the homestead,
which is what we're trying to avoid. $ut the second reason, and probably the most important
one, is that all those all the land adjacent to the development is awarded, they're all
there's homesteads there, there's people living there in houses To cut a road through there
would mean to have to take away one of those homesteads, which is something that we lust
would not be willing to do
KUBOTA- Thank you
BAKER. Any other questions, Commissioners, for the testifier? Hearing none, I
want to thank you.
ANDRADE Thank you.
BAKER Next testifier, your name and address
MAUHILI Yes, good morning, my name is Gerald Mauhili. i represent the
Keaukaha-Panaewa farmers. We met with Mr Fuke last night in regards to this issue I also
stand in to represent the PHHLCA, which is the Panaewa Hawaiian Home Land Community
Committee or Assa:iation, that is the residential area there
Our a~ncerns are as was stated earlier The first was traffic, then flooding. There was a
situation and questions asked about the buffer between the building site and the housing that
was already established there The zoning, rezoning status came in as far as we are concerned
about tax assessments towards our place, that was kind of answered last night
The thing that we didn't bring up last night was the fact that as a new business establishment is
created, we understand that a sewage line needs to be conducted Now when we talk about
sewage ]me, one of the concerns that we did not mention last night was it seems bke even as
22
Itke Keaukaha was subject to when sewage lines go in, Hawaiian people need to hook up
Now here comes an added burden on the Hawaiians You've got water fees, you've got tax
assessment problems, and you've got a sewage system that right now we're on the cesspool
and some of the people further back is on the septic tank But a sewage line comes in, all of a
sudden we're mandated to hook up to the sewage line We want these questions answered
because we're not objecting to people creating businesses and making money in our society
What we are very concerned about is the health and safety of our community
So as i stand here today, some of the questions was already presented to you The traffic flow
as you were there My truck, as I met up with the group exiting the driveway there, I parked
right on that entry point to Pilipa`a Street it seems like it's inevitable that as the accelerating
lane merge into traffic lane is created, you're cutting right into the Pilipa`a entry way there
Now some of these things, as far as a roundabout, Ed mentioned, I, too, am not a traffic
consultant, no way have I even perceived to try to figure out a roundabout, four-way stop,
traffic lights there, but these are all concerns that was number one as far as our issues, traffic
Because if the way it stands, if the traffic is going to be sucked right into Pilipa`a, the way
we can see that, as you folks were on site, then it's going to be inevitable that people come
out, whatever, speed they drive with their vehicles and everything, and then they'll be zapping
right through Pilipa`a Street because that's a formidable way of dust avoiding that traffic flow
right there
I can see, as we talk about incremental stages, Iwas I am impressed on the fact that the
Commission here is trying to look at the picture that we're aware of right now, Zone X, as far
as the building on the high plain Now the as we look at the flooding, we look at the buffer
between the building site and the houses that are there, our aincern looks at the second
increment of commercial building site, and we are concerned about that, because it seems like
when we look at the Hawaiian Homes properties, it seems like the current Zone X will be
rearing Lots R, 9, and 10, and that is Mrs Kelipxi, Kafeikim, and or whoever's there at the
present time But when we lined up our situation, same of the people that were there earler m
the evening's meeting said, okay, well, you're not directly in the back of me, you're not going
to aesthetically block my view, I'm not going to be smelling a stench or hearing noise from
your bmldmg, because m realty, we don't really know what this commeroial project is all
about I mean we had rumors that it's going to be a fish market and it's going to be a retail
and office outlet system here
There were many concerns last night, and again, if we prioritize the traffic flow, when you
talked about flooding, it seems like it's a joint venture between the County and the developer at
this time to improve the 24-inch to 60-inch, I mean, you know, who knows i mean, as was
lust mentxmed, we got more rain here. It seems like the engineers kind of faltered there, and
until they develop a different flow alwve Waiakea-Uka, we will still continue u, have this
problem I was one of the first wave of residents there back m 1967, we were relocated from
Keaukaha up to Panaewa, and back in '67, I will attest to the tact that we've had that problem
from then «i the present time, the November 1" flooding Some people can say, yeah, some of
the kids were out on their bcwgie boards m the b~uk of the flood canal and dangerously
participating m this water flow And it hasn't been addressed from the County's standpoint,
23
and we are hoping for some change of effect I have seen the outline of relining the flood
direction to coincide with the culvert We also need, as we see this additional parking lot area,
there will be the flow coming across the highway From KTA So, again, you've got flood
coming across the highway, being diverted under the pavement or some culvert kind of
situation, and these are things that we are very much aware of and would like to kind of find
answers to this addressed issue
So lust reiterating on our concerns, it really comes down to traffic and the fact that as you
approve this commercial protect, I had concerns, along with others, on at what point do more
buildings come in and as you we were mentioned, well, we were told about FEMA and the
County's involvement m addressing the flooding. And if more landfill was brought into rt to
raise the lowness of the property and put culverts beneath the pavement or whatever the
parking lot area is, our concerns was at what point do you aesthetically block our view, as
welly Su these were all the concerns that were brought up last night And one thing that was
not mentioned was the sewage line effect, and 1 think I wanted to bong that up so that in full
blown aspect to all of the things that we had there, we get a better understanding of what's
going on And these are some of the things that we did discuss
BAKER So the people you represent, were they in favor or against it?
MAUHILI. The people that were present at the meeting, their concerns were mainly
traffic, and if we can see some sense of acceptance to what's being proposed, they would go
along with it But there are too many unanswered questions at this time, tike you talks have
mentioned today, so we kind of are waiting for more answers to the problem.
BAKER Commissioners, any questions for the testifiers Hearing none, thank
you
KUBOTA. Mr Chairman
BAKER• Yes, Commissioner Kubota
KUBOTA May I have a point of personal privilege at this time
BAKER Sure
KUBOTA. I would like to claim these two testifiers as my ftttmer students from
Keaukaha School, and Ithink in grade school, Ms Keliipio and Gerald, and I'm very proud
to say that they are products of the public school system, and I think they represented the
system very well
BAKER Thank you
KUBOTA Thank you
24
BAKER I would agree, they did a very good lob
MAUHILI Thank you
BAKER Okay With no further questions, it's 12 00. We have the Applicant
would need to come forward at this time He would have to give answers to some questions
that was raised, and we would have more questions for the Applicant and their representative.
But i believe that we should call for a lunch recess at 12 00 and then we will come back How
long do we need for lunch, Commissioners What's the time
SOUZA Where are we going
BAKER How longs Where are we going
MINA McDonalds would be ten minutes
BAKER: It's not the problem, but i asked them where how long you needy One
hours Okay We'll be back in an hour
GOLDSTEIN Wait.
GIFF[N At that time, would it be possible for Mr. Fuke to call up his traffic
engineers
BAKER: Yes At that time probably he will do that, and he may want to address,
while it's still fresh in our minds, some of the concerns that -
GIFFiN Yeah
BAKER The people testified to and then later call the traffic people, because
that's, it boils down to all those areas, and then we can go from there Okay 5<i let's recess
for lunch Thank you One hour
RECESSED The Chairman called a lunch recess at 12 00 p m
RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 1:15 p m
BAKER I like to call the meeting to order Thank you for bearing with us
We're back with the Applicant's representative, and we're on Agenda Item No 1.
FUKE Thank you, Mr Chairman I think that the lunch break was good
hecause rt gave me a chance to sit down and meet with the engineers and digest the concerns
that were raised by members of the public earlier this morning And as a result, [passed out
some revised conditions which we believe adequately address the concerns and issued raised
this morning And [would bnefly like to go over them
25
Spectftcally, on Item No 1, where tt's saytg added a new Condthon D Thts is to response to
some of the Planning Director's suggestions and rea~mmendattons alxtut having the property
zoned by tncrements, and it spectftcally states that the property would be zoned to two
increments The Errs[ increment would consist of no more than 2'fi acres within the Zone X
area on the FIRM map, and still be kept to a parking requirement of no more than 60
The second tncrement would be sublet[ to completion of the first tncrement so that when you
do have a trafftc study, the trafftc study would be able to make an evaluation of what the
impact Yrom the existing protect is and subsequently suggest certain mtttgahon measures
Whatever these mitigation measures are, then the developer would have to comply with those
mittgattons pnor to or m ampunction with the development of tits second increment.
I've land of outlined what some of these mrttgahons may be, you know, which would include
the installation of trafftc lights, the acceleration merging Itne along Pu`amako Street from
Ptlipa`a Street, and tf allowed by the State Department of Transportation, access to Kanoelehua
Avenue
That's so the mtntmum that would be required would be certain traffic tmprovements, and
I'll get to that a Itttle bit later because it's covered under Item No 3 And then they need to
have another traffic study after the first pn~lect is completed and make whatever improvements
that are needed to address the impacts at that [tine So it's rnx like passing on the burden of
infrastructure responsibility to the County, State, or Federal government Thts is a situation
where the Applicant would be principally responsible in addressing
Relative to any the amendment to Item No 2, amending extshng Condthon E, what I did
there was to make clear or make tt consistent in the begtnntng by saying construction of the
ttrst increment rather than the first phase, you ktmw, you will note I had first phase, just to be
consistent with the first [rein, you know, since the property that we are suggesting tt be
wined in tncrements
And on the last paragraph, m response to Commissioner Togashi's comments ahout secunng
input of the community, I've land of made the adjustment to say that the Applicant shall secure
the input of the tmmedtate adjoining restdenttal homeowners through a community meeting,
so I guess [tits makes tt clear that it's not going to be lust a letter and tf you don't respond in X
penod of time then, you know, forever hold your peace, but there will be a formalized
meeting
The last [rein where they have been some considerable amount of changes, what we are
suggesting here is that as part of the first phase tmprovements, first tncrement tmprovements,
what the developer is reginred to do are several fold First of all, we know that he has to have
tits access from Pu`amako Street, so he has to make a acceleration and a deceleration lane, you
know, coming off of that area, you know, onto Pu'amako Street
26
Secondly, you know, in light of the concerns that were raised, that he has a the developer
has a respons~btl~ty to formally ask the homeowners of Awapuh~ Street and formally ask of the
State Department of Transportation permission to gam access from those two areas And
tailing that, then your only access would be, of course, Pu`ainako Street. On the other hand,
it either one of them, either the State relative to Kanoelehua agreed to allow for an egress and
ingress, or the Nagammes allow access on Awapuh~ Street, then that would be a requirement,
that would be an alternate access So it places a burden, unlike the &rst condition, the original
recommended condition, it places a burden on the Applicant to get a definitive response from
those two entities, the State and the Nagammes for use, and only ~f they say no, then nothing
can occur
The other requirement that we are suggesting, which is the last paragraph on, in Item No 3, is
that making it clear that either a traf5c s~gna] light or the roundabout system that was discussed
by Mr Andrade from DHHL be provided at the Pilipa`a and Pu`amako Street intersections,
only ~f Pubhc Works wants rt, only ~f the County Department of Pubhc Works deems that it's
appropriate, that they will put rt in as part of the first phase improvements Because ~f you
requue this and Public Works says that you cannot then, you know, you're stuck But this
now places the burden, you know, on the Pubhc Works Department to make a dec~s~on Do
you want traf5c ]fights? Do you want a roundabouts Whichever way you deem appropriate,
you being Public Works, then the developer ~s ob)~gated to provide that m. And that's the
commitment the developer ~s willing to do as part of the initial phase of ~mpmvements
BAKER Commissioners, any questions for the Comm~ss~oner Togash~
TOGASHI I'm land of Mr. Fake, I'm isn't there some Itind of inconsistency
between No 2 and No 3~ I'm sorry, No 1 and No 3~
FUKE It may appear that way, Mr Togash~, but you remember, this is like the
first phase we're saying that you have to have maybe access fmm Kanoelehua Avenue The
State initially may say no the t~rst go around, but we're saying that as part of the and this ~s
what ~t is. Access fmm Kanoelehua, ~f allowed by DOT, shall he, you know, shall he
pmv~ded meeting with said agency's requirements, etcetera So we're saying as part of the
fast phase, n will be regmred, ~f DOT allows it What we're suggesting in Condition No D is
that in the event that the State says no, that we want to make tt clear that that is also the option
that the developer has to look at
TOGASHI 1 guess my question ~s Mr Andrade mentioned about these in No 1
about these in the second paragraph, about the so-called said mitigation measures, and he
implied or mentioned that the said mitigation measures are effective with the seaind increment
And yet on No. 3, on the second paragraph, rt seems tike this irathc signal light is effective
within the Errs[ increment, so I'm kind of -
FUKE Okay
TOGASHI Contused here
27
FUKE Oh, sure Let me explain why Because you remember like on Item
No 3, the Publtc Works Department can still nix the idea, so tf they decide, tf Publtc Works
nixes the Idea, then we wanted to make sure that that is a consideration that will he
incorporated as part of the future mitigation measures If Public Works accepts the idea of a
traffic signal light, or tf the State Department of Transportation accepts the idea of a right turn
tn, tight turn out on Kanoelehua Avenue, then these mitigation measures that we are suggesting
here become obsolete because they have already been implemented.
TOGASHI Okay
BAKER- Commissioner Giffin
GIFFIN Mr Fuke, the roundabout and the traffic signal, new Condition G, last
paragraph, were the I know that these suggestions came from this morning's discussion Is
this consistent with what you're traffic advisors also suggested as mitigating factors or are
there more suggestions? Because say Department of Publtc Wotks says no, like the road isn't
wide enough for a roundabout or that the distance between the traffic lights from Kanoelehua
and Pu`atnako to this intersection
FUKE To Piltpa`a Street
GIFFIN May be too short
FUKE Correct
GIFFIN Yet the Hawaiian Homes people said trafftc is an issue What other
things did your trafftc experts come up wtth~
FUKE Yeah I can call - I'd like to call Mr Warren Yamamoto He was the
trafftc consultant on this matter
GIFFIN: Okay
FUKE And some of these suggestions were as a result of his input over the last
hour so -
GIFFIN Okay
BAKER Can you raise your tight hand Do you swear to testify truthfully before
the Hawaii County Planning Commission?
YAMAMOTO I do I do affirm My name is Warren Yamamoto with M&E Pactftc to
Honolulu, 1001 Bishop Street, Pauahi Tower, Suite 500
28
Respect to Commissioner Giffin's comments, the possibilities that were brought up are
probably the more common actions that can be mitigating actions that can be taken, and I
think that about, you know, you have within there a range of like possibilities that can be the
two most probable possihihttes that can be done, okay.
BAKER: Commissioner Giffin.
GIFFIN I'm not aslung you to do magic 1 understand that there are really
serous constraints here In your estimation, do you think that the road width, Pu`ainako right
there, just beyond Pilipa`a Street, is wide enough for a roundabout
YAMAMOTO• 1 think it is, and we may even have to narrow Pu`ainako also to make
put in the roundabout
GIFFIN To narrow its
YAMAMOTO Yeah
GIFFIN: I don't quite understand that
YAMAMOTO• Well, to make it come like that
GIFFIN• Oh, oh, oh
YAMAMOTO Okay
GIFFIN Yes, yes, yes
YAMAMOTO Okay
GIFFIN What about the legal distance or the recommended distance from one
traffic, you know, fight system to another [s that distance legitimate between the existing one
at Kanoelehua and Pilipa`a~
YAMAMOTO There's no real legal minimum distance. You put to traffic signals as
you see necessary It can be very close in certain instances, or it can be ideally, it should be
a farther distance
GIFFIN Yeah
YAMAMOTO And it is a very close distance But the signal can, with proper
coordination, can he made to mmimiu disruptions and probably -
GIFFIN Because -
29
YAMAMOTO• Have avery the Pilipa`a Street will not require that much green time,
generally speaking
GIFFIN Right, it would be the Pu`ainako
YAMAMOTO• Yeah
GIFFIN• Because I can see that perhaps, and this is all coglecture on my part, that
the because of the Pu`ainako traffic, perhaps there would be a backup from Pilipa`a to
Pu`atnako and, therefore, even though the Pu`ainako people might have a green light, they'd
have to wait on the other side of the road until there was enough clearance so that they
wouldn't block Kanoelehua, corrects So you are suggesting that that's still possible with the
regulations of the lights
YAMAMOTO Yeah, with the proper coordination of the signals
GIFFIN Okay But of your own voLtion, before our discussion today, there
weren't any more suggested mitigating measures
YAMAMOTO We didn't we couldn't - I had thought of another thing called the lug
handle
GIFFIN Oh
YAMAMOTO But that would but that has that's a far inferior possibility
GIFFIN To-
YAMAMOTO: As a traffic mitigation measure, where if you were coming from the
proposed protect site and -
GIFFIN Yes
YAMAMOTO. Say you went up Pu'ainako and you passed Pilipa`a, and you would have
essentially a lcxip that would bring you back onto Pthpa`a, so those people can make a left turn
again But hearing the testimony today, that is not we proposed it and essentially lust said
it's not really that gocxl But you know, that is another possibility that we looked at and we
sort of said no
GIFFIN Yeah And I think everybody on the Commission is very, very
sympathetic to the neighbors, you know, and we'd be the last to try to approve something that
would br adversanal m nature to the existed opinions of the neighbors
30
FUKE Ms. GifSn, the other option that the engineers looked at was also the
getting a direct access to Piltpa`a Street, but that is, you know, not going to be a reality, as
Mr Andrade pointed out That would mean going through Hawauan Homes property
GIFFIN Oh, yeah
FUKE One of those lots, yeah
GIFFIN. Yeah, and somebody giving up -
FUKE That was an option that they Looked at but -
GIFFIN. Giving up a homestead lot
FUKE: Correct
GIFFIN. No way Yeah
FUKE Yeah
BAKER Any other questions, Commissioners, for the traf5c expert here or the
Applicant's representatives Anyone else in the public wishing to testify on this agenda item or
any other Input for the public
GIFFIN Mr Chauman~
BAKER Yes, go ahead
GIFFIN I don't know if our Director has had a chance to review the revised
proposed conditions, but 1 would like to get her input on this, too, before we go too much
further
BAKER. Okay Also, maybe the lady that testified, maybe we can get her input
on these changes
GIFFIN Yeah, the suggested, yeah.
BAKER The Bugg yeah
GIFFIN Good idea
BAKER If she could come forward
KUBOTA Mr Chairman, while we are waiting for all of the actors and actresses to
take their seats, may I ask Mr Fuke a question?
31
BAKER Sure you may Go ahead
KUBOTA You know these mitigating factors about the Nagamines, are they the
private road owners
FUKE For Awapuhi Street
KUBOTA. Yes
FUKE Yeah, uirrect
KUBOTA Okay And the DOT. How realistic is your would your attempt be to
get permission to do use either one or the others My understanding was that you had
already approached both parties and the response was negative Now do you think there's a
real possibility that they may change their minds somewhere along the line?
FUKE These were only informal touching bases, so to speak, you know, with
the homeowners as well as DOT There may be a possibility that either one of them or maybe
both of them may agree to some concession, you know, as a result of all of the yuestions and
aimments that have been brought to date so -
KUBOTA I see
FUKE The way that, you know, we had structured this over here, it requires
that the Applicant to formally contact them and get a formally yes or no
KUBOTA i see So -
FUKE• Yeah
KUBOTA The prior attempts at mitigating was just word of mouth, informal?
FUKE Correct
KUBOTA Kind of thing and not anything forma]
FUKE Correct So I've had -
KUBOTA. I see Okay
FUKE Like informal discussions with the Nagammes I don't have anything
state you know, from them stanng that no, they would not allow rt
KUBOTA I see
32
FUKE. But the sense that I got in my conversations with them was no Same
thing with DOT
BAKER My question to you is that since we're looking at scale back and a
smaller project, what is the building going to entails What land of outlet or what Is it the
restaurants Is it the packing plants What is its
FUKE' At this point in time, based upon my last discussion with the owner,
there is a leading financial institution that is interested in being situated at this area, in this
area. So the answer to your question is that the tendency would he more an office type of use
rather than retazl
BAKER. Commissioner Giffin
GIFFIN. I just want to be clear on this. The 60 stalls for parking, will that be on
the 2.5 or will it be on the unimproved or the Phase lI section of the pro~ect~
FUKE No, it's not clear, but if you're looking at 2 5 acres by caning
increments and as designated by Zone X, then it would have to he within the Zone X area
GIFFIN Okay.
FUKE. Because, you know, it's not like you cannot satisfy your commercial
requirements m a residential znne
GIFFIN. Right
FUKE For a commercial prolect It has to be -
GIFFIN Right
FUKE Like zoned so -
GIFFIN• Okay So barnng and I hope that this doesn't happen, I hope you are
ahle to negotiate some other egress/regress situation other than Pu`ainako, but if that's the case
where that is not possible with the other options, either DOT or with Awapuhi Street, then if I
envisum this correctly, on the upper lot would he the structure and the 60 parking lots,
correct
FUKE Correct, the Zone X area.
G[FFIN And then there would be some sort of road
FUKE Roadway
33
GIFFIN That would be traversing Phase II
FUKE. Correct And to Pu`amako Avenue, correct
GIFFIN Excuse men
FUKE To Pu`ainako Avenue
GIFFIN Correct Okay So then the rematntng part of that lot, what would that
bey That would Iust be -
FUKE Would he undeveloped until such time that there is some measure of
It would be undeveloped until the &rst increment is developed, you submit a traffic study with
suggested mitigations, and that would be one thing And secondly, you would have to be the
Applicant would have to have the FIRM map amended.
GIFFIN. Right
FUKE From Zone AE to Zone X or whatever that would allow structures to be
erected on the property
GIFFIN And with current destgnatcon, the driveway or the roadway from the
Phase I through Phase II is permissible
FUKE It's my understanding that tt would be permissible to the same way like
how ~f you will recall Itke on Kilauea Avenue, you have that driveway that services the
Pu`amako Town Center
GIFFIN Pu`ainako Town Center
FUKE• Yeah.
GIFFIN Does everybody
FUKE That's where you have -
GIFFIN Know where that ts°
FUKE Sake `n Save and -
GIFFIN Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes
FUKE That's also restdenually caned
34
GIFFIN Okay The Ktlauea entrance/exit
FUKE Correct Yeah
GIFFIN Okay
FUKE So this actually falls within the existing property, so I would imagine it's
a permissible use
GIFFIN Okay
BAKER• Sidney, remember the question that Josephine asked about ~s there
another area similar to the town that could fit into that that you know of'~
FUKE The -
BAKER Wtth that type of turn
FUKE Well, I thought about three different areas, I guess. Like one ~s you
know, when you have a dedicated right turn lane that services a protect and also like services a
street, the closest one I could think of, Josephine, is nn Kanoelehua Avenue moving into
Pu`ainako, because you have that driveway that kind of like services the is it Tesoro or that
Firestone project
GIFFIN Oh, yes.
FUKE. And then beyond that you go right into Pu`ainako Avenue, because, you
know, you cannot continue on to Kanoelehua Avenue heading out towards Puna beyond that
Ixnnt So rt's a dedicated right turn lane for both the protect as well as to Phh not Pili,
Pu`ainako Street
BAKER But then you don't have -
FUKE There's another situation I'm -
BAKER You don't have the turn come out You don't have somebody turning
out that way, yeah
FUKE No, that's why -
BAKER Yeah
FUKE At that Tesoro or is it Firestone, whatever, everything is a right -
BAKER Yeah
35
FUKE Turn movements
BAKER Right turn
FUKE Right Yeah
BAKER• There's no left turn
FUKE Correct Yeah
BAKER: Yeah
FUKE So likewise, you know, we are suggesting everything is a right turn
movement, no left turn movements The other example I can think of is in Kona probably by
Malulani Subdivision and where I guess Block is it Borders is, around Henry Street, okay
Because if you travel from Malulani Subdivision and you go down, you know, it's a dedicated
lane to either that subdivision or to also right turn lane only.
BAKER: Commissioners, any further questions Josephine, you have something
that -
KELIiPIO Well, Ithink -
BAKER After seeing this - You know, your paragraph, the last paragraph says
please do not approve this prolect until Mr Fuke and his engineers can come up with a
solution that will ehmmate the potential for serous traffic conflict Does this help to fit that,
or do you have anything that you would like to
KELiIPiO Well, in your discussum lust within the last few minutes, something
very, very interesting came up You're using an anchoring project, I mean there's some bank
or something that's going to move in there, and you have a 7-11 What bangs, what I guess
what bongs up in my mind is how many cars per hour are going to be going in and out of that
place, you knows The thing is if you you're not being specific with us as to who's moving
in there, but if you have someone moving in there that's very attractive to the public, then
man, those cars are going to keep tin coming, no matter how many stalls you have in there,
nght~
FUKE. That is true The use of the thing has some measure in fact in terms of
like turnaround I mean, you go to a theater, you need X amount of stalls and it'll come a
certain time and leave at a certain time, and the rest of the time is not going to be busy You
have another activity, you'll probably have greater use 1 don't know specifically what will be
constructed in this particular location It's got to he something commercial, and at this point m
time, from what I am led to understand by the owner, rt seems to he someone that's m the
financing mstitutwn That's as best as I can, you know, share with you Su we've toed as
36
best as we aiuld to address all type of commercial activity going into that area, even
consideration of constructing a traffic light or a roundabout if Public Works says either one of
them is appropriate in that area, that will be constructed as part of the first phase.
BAKER. So what he's trying to tell you is that under the zoning change, under
General commerctal, this is only a suggestxm, that aruld fall through, and there are all kind of
businesses can be caned in that area So it would not and we cannot be perceived to say that
it would be They are thitilting of that, or it may be looking at it, but there is no guarantee
And once they get the caning, you don't know or we don't know what kind of business going
to go in there or how many ditferent businesses that could fit into that building. And sn we
would not know for sure So that's why there is certain concerns when we do this type of
change We cannot limit the Applicant to Just a bank or whatever because the wrong would
allow it to be a broader, you know so that's the concern
KELIIPIO: He's you're changing zoning from what to what
BAKER. Residential to -
FUKE Residential to Commercial, yeah
BAKER General Commercial.
KELI[PIO• Maybe not too good an idea, yeah
FUKE It's the point of view, I guess
KELIIPIO IYo, f mean when you weigh everything, it's like just leave it. I mean,
anyway, that's Just -
BAKER Well, that's why we're asking your opinion, because you're a
homeowner, representing homeowners, and you're representing one point of view versus the
Applicant's representative who's representing the Applicant who wants to have the wnmg to
put in the development And, we as planners, we cannot, we're not trying to limit
development We want to enaiurage development, but yet we want to make sure that the
development that we approve can &t m with the community, can work with that, because it's a
t]ood zone area Wtth al] the storm we Just saw, everybody's place got wiped out around
there You know, are we going to be smart planners by approving something like this So
these are the things we need to wrestle with, and that's why I asked for your input in as a
representative of the homeowners Do you feel the nght turn, the proposals they talked about,
traffic, because that's what your concern was, you know We got to look at a business like
you mentioned, could be a 7-11, could he a clothing store or it could you know, he's looking
at a bank, rt could be an insurance company We don't know what land of business it's going
to be It's same kind of business, but it's not going to be a packing plant or that land of thing
like the concerns the neighMrrs were talking about, fish market, I don't think they're going to
do that, but they could do [hat, too
37
FUKE They could, and I think that dust one final comment, if I may,
Mr Chairman, that rf there ~s an ex~sttng problem right now on Ptlipa`a Street and ~f
stgnaltzatton wtll help under the existing sttuatton, with this proposed development, if Public
Works says that that is the solution, then the developer ~s obligated to construct the traffic light
m conjunction with his first phase development
BAKER So what he's trying to say -
KELIIPIO There's a lot of ifs
BAKER That rt could be a plus for the community because ~f the traffic
KELIIPIO Yeah
BAKER If you're having a problem with traffic, and because this project -
GIFF[N: And safety
BAKER Comes m, ~t adds more traffic, then they're going to have to put up a
Itght, then it may help you to solve your problem, but [don't know That's where you folks
who live there, 1 don't know
KEL[IPIO But you know what, he had so many ifs m there
BAKER• Yeah, that's what I said, if ~t looks ltke a duck and walks Ike a duck, ~t
must be a duck But ~s this a ducky I don't know.
KELIIPIO And I've already talked to a lot of the County engineers, and I know this
person ~s an engineer, and maybe they can make, you know, really, really bratnstorm n, but
top of the, you know, just surface, the County engineer said it was dust too close for a traffic
light, too close to -
GIFFIN The distance
KELIIP[O Avery, very major intersection And, Ike you satd, you know, tt'll
back rt up So that's my concern And then, again, our County is very conservative s<i, you
know, a roundalxwt is radical and well, really, look around the Island We have none We
have none
BAKER One
KELIIPIO• And but for your information, we're going to have two on Ah`i
Highway But that still remains to be created, nght~
38
GIFFIN Right
KELIIPIO We still have to go for funding for that But the County has always
taken the stand that these things well, I'm talking about Richard Nishimura on the traffic, a
chief engineer, and he's not m favor of stuff that are too radical for him, you know, so those
are why, you know, I'm hesitating here
BAKER. So your gut feeling is leave it as is''
KELIIPIO No
GIFFIN• No, no, no
KELIIPIO Oh, leave it with the house
BAKER You mean talking about the prolect~ Yeah
KELIIPIO Yeah, leave it with the house until you guys can wnvtnce the County to
sort of change their ways But from my few conversations, and I'm on the Traffic Safety
Committee m Kona, Richard's not too real keen on traffic circles on his public roads
BAKER Okay Thank you
KEL[IPIO• You know, the roundabouts, so -
BAKER Planning Director Goldstein
GOLDSTEIN. I just wanted to respond to the question that was raised on what my
comment would be on the proposed new conditions, and in reading through it, I don't have
problems
GIFFIN No problems
GOLDSTEIN No problems
GIFFIN Okay Mr Chairman
BAKER Go ahead Sure, Commissioner Giffin
GIFFIN So, Ms Keliipio, your concern then is that we don't have anything firm,
and it is unfortunate we don't have anybody here from Pubhc Works today, but you understand
why they're not here, rights You were there when - Were you here Oh, you weren't here
this morning, so you don't know why they're not here
KELIIPIO No
39
GIFFIN It's because they're all exhausted, not physically, but they're out in the
field, every one of them, because of the repairs from the flood Otherwise, they would have
even been at the site with us this morning, but we didn't know that until we got here this
mormng at 9 00
And I can understand your concern I think that the Applicant has really tried to meet every
concern that we have in fact, I am really impressed with this new revised ainditions I don't
quite know what to do, and maybe we can get some wisdom from other Commissioners But I
think that in regards to your concerns, I think that they've been very, very good about trying to
meet those concerns, but I hear what you're saying, as well
BAKER Commissioner Souza.
SOUZA Mr Chairman, on the Applicant's last proposal, I mean it's significant
It gives so many options to the development of the problem of the traffic. It not only gives the
options, the options don't belong with the Applicant, it belongs with the County who runs our
road system And while in life nothing is perfect, we'll never make everybody happy, when
you use the word mitigation, we're supposed to make everybody happy to the best possible
position to live together, and these are neighbors and they got to live together But from the
last proposal, I mean community meetings for the future development, the options put in the
traf - If the County said put in the traffic light, they're willing to put in the traffic I mean,
it's awin-win situation all around the way i feel for the homesteaders and for the general
public True, maybe the homesteaders might not perfectly feel that they got everything, but
again, as I Bard, mitigation, the word means compromise, do the best possible. But we got to
live together We got to get development, we got to get residents And I think that what the
Applicant is doing to meet halfway, i never seen, that I can recall, an Applicant just going this
far, even putting traffic lights, if that's what they want, we'll put the traffic lights To me, it's
a big plus if you wait for traffc lights from the County, God help you Thank you
BAKER Okay Any other remarks or statements from the Commissioners or any
questions for the Applicant's representative? Commissioners, no further questions Anyone m
the public wishing to add testimony The Applicant's representative, anything else you would
want to adds
FUKE We've taken much, much time of the Commission
BAKER Okay
FUKE Thank you
BAKER Okay Well, Commissioners, is there a motum~ Commissioner Souza
SOUZA Mr Chairman, I'd Lke to make a motion but, God, with all of these
things here, maybe we need afive-minute recess to
40
BAKER Okay
SOUZA Put this and I mean there's a lot here and, unfortunately,
Commissioner Kubota was not my teacher, so I need a little more time than the other people
that she taught
GIFFIN That's right
BAKER Okay Five-minute recess
RECESSED The Chairman called a short recess at 1 46 p m
RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 1 57 p m
BAKER I'd like to call this back to order We had recessed because
Commissioner Souza had asked for afive-minute recess to prepare a motion, but between the
break, there was a question that arised from Josephine Josephine, you want to come forward
and raise your question before we go into a motion
KELIIPIO My question had to do with do we have enough information to make a
sound decisions It's true that the developer has changed his plans, and thank you for doing
that From the start, from before to now, he has tried his best to come up with a better plan
than was first initiated, but until we find out whether Public Works will say yes or no to those
proposals at the intersectum, you know, I find it a little difficult to even decide anything So
I'm lust wondering if it's possible for your Commission to wait on n until you get some solid
mformahon fmm Public Works
BAKER• So you're asking if I want to rephrase it so that we make sure that we
completely understand what you're saying, is that you're asking us to defer this so we would
get Public Works and people here, support people to ask those questions because earlier we
had stated that these people are all out in the field due to the storm and they're not available to
give us input So you're asking that we not make a decision today, is that what you're asking
KELIIPIO. Yes
BAKER Okay Thank you
KELIiPIO Please
BAKER I'll see how the Commissioners feel
KELIIPIO Okay Thank you
41
BAKER. Okay Thank you Anyone else have anything to say before
Commissioner Souza Okay Hearing none, Commissioner Souza
SOUZA Well, first, I'd like to respond to what Josephine said You know, the
developer, the Applicant here is giving us so many options First, they are obligated, correct
me if I am wrong, they are obltgated to talk to the State Highway They are obltgated to work
with -
GIFFIN Awapuht
SOUZA Awapuht residents to try to buy that road or whatever was suggested
And then after that, they work with the Publtc County Publtc Works Committee for the last
suggestions of either a roundabout or a traffic light or whatever other thing that Planning (sic)
Works decide would he the best But I think that, you know, again here trying to work
aigether, that the developer, to have an interest in keeping forward, should get same direction
In other words, he'll spend a lot of time and money and effort working with the State Highway
Department, Awapuhi Street residents, working with the County, and then finally, after all that
effort we, you know, the Commission might say no And I think that's lust a ]title unfair I
think that, again, that meeting both the residents and the developer halfway for the best
possible solution after exhausting all the other possibilities, but to deny the developer any kind
of encouragement and keep on pouring money into this without knowing what the final
outcome is going to be I think is unfair, also And with that said, if no other Commissioner
want to respond
BAKER Any reslxmse from the Commissioners Someone raised their hand in
the audience If you wish to testify, you need to come forward and to address the and be
sworn to Do you swear and affirm to testify truthfully before the Hawaii County Planning
Commisston~
FORD• Yes, I do
BAKER Your name and address
FORD I'm Brenda Ford, R1-6195 Napo`opo`o Road, Captain Cook
i was not prepared to speak on this, I had no intention of doing sn, but in listening to the
very good suggestions by the developer and listening to the neighbors that are involved in this
thing it and tallung to Josephine, it's a concern to me that whsle the developer may have to
spend some extra money and talk to the State and talk to the Publtc Works and talk to the
neighbors, if the answers come back no, we won't sell the road from the neighbors and the
State says whatever, no, we're not going to do it, and Public Works comes back and says no
roundabout and no traffic light, then the neighbors are going to have hundreds of cars coming
in and out of that little street every single day with absolutely no mitigation And it seems to
me betore the Commission makes a decision they should have a solid answer from Department
of Public Works that we will or we will not do this thing and from the State we will or will not
42
do this and from the netghbors we will or we will not do this That way you have a completely
informed Commission to make an appropriate decision and you're not penalizing netghbors
While 1 understand that it would he a very good thing for the developer to know that they've
got a sure thing going here, the neighbors are left a hundred percent in the dark as to what they
have going for them There may he no mitigation whatsoever for the neighbors I really
encourage you to defer this until you get written statements from these different departments
that the Applicant needs to approach and find out what the real answer is going to be before
you make your decision
BAKER Commissioner Giffin
GIFFIN• I hear what you're saying, and that was my dilemma earlier when I was
speaking I guess my question is of Staff or of the Director How long will rt take for the
Applicant usually for this kind of feedback from the proper agencies Let's start with DOT
How long do you think it would get, you know, it would take to get a response yes or no from
DOT? And we kind of got the sense of tt in the background information because we had that
letter from Kazu Hayashida being negative How long do you think it would take to get some
sort of response
GOLDSTEIN T don't know, that's the bottom line There was a rezoning on
Kaha`ope'a Street on the corner of Kaha`ope`a, and they had a similar question of DOT, and I
believe that was at least couple of years ago
GIFFIN Yes
GOLDSTEIN I don't think they've gotten a response from DOT yet
GIFFIN That's a clue
GOLDSTEIN Yeah
GIFFIN Okay So then what about Public Works and getting a response from
them regarding traffic signals and/or roundabout, realistic, Susan
GAGORIK We usually give them four weeks for an application, to respond, so what
you're asking then is if we were to send these comments, these proposed wndttutns to DOT
and Public Works to get revised comments, we would give them approximately three to four
weeks
GIFFIN So about a month
GAGORIK Yeah
GIFFIN Mr Fuke, any kind of forma] response from the faintly that owns that
road, how long do you think that would take
43
FUKE. Maybe I can lust answer more Indirectly The reason why that we had
structured this condition as such Is I think that not going specifically to DOT with a specific
plan, you know, say that this is where the building's going to be, and this is what our
anticipated traffic volume is, because by that time we will know more precisely what kinds of
uses will go In there, whether it's going to be a Jack-In-the-Box, whether It's going to be a
bank or whatever have you And not knowing where these structures are going to be and what
the actual or the more realistic [raffle projection would be, tt would be difficult fir us to, you
know, work with the community, 1 mean the Awapuhl Street residents
GIFFIN Right
FUKE Work with DOT, and get a definitive response I mean like If I were
putting myself to the homeowners' position on Awapuhl Street, I would want to know more
precisely what are your specific plans And so the whole idea was that If, you know, I think
that the cntical area relates to Plllpa`a Street and Pu`ainako
GIFFIN Right.
FUKE And If you can get Awapuhl and you can get the Kanoelehua, tt helps to
minimize -
GIFFIN Yes
FUKE The potential traffic
GIFFIN Yes.
FUKE You know, you're kind of dispersing the trafttc
GIFFIN Right
FUKE Nonetheless, I think the volume of traffic would still be predominantly
at -
GIFFIN Pu`ainako
FUKE Pu`amako And as Josephine and others have indicated, with or without
this prglect, you already have an existing problem The way that we have proposed this
condltxm, n's hke you, through this condwon, are saying you shall provide a traffic Lght or
you shall provide a roundabout, and you're giving the Department of Public Works the veto
power If Public Works, m their own wisdom, decides to say we don't need tt, well, let them
respond to the community w say that we do m>t believe that a traftlc light is needed Because
we're not saying that It's not needed We're saying that we'll put tt in And let Public Works
44
go to the public, go to the community, and say that we don't need the traffic light And I think
that's where the pressure should he put on.
GIFFIN i understand I lust didn't want to leave the community Ingh and dry
FUKE Correct
GIFFIN You know, and I'm -
FUKE So this is the suggestion is this is a requirement You're giving the
Public Works the right to veto it, and if you don't want to give the right to veto it, eliminate it,
eliminate that if deemed approprtate by Department of Public Works
BAKER Anyone else wishing to testify 1 see somebody raising their hand
They have to hit the mike and identify themselves because your name and address
POMMERENK Greg Pommerenk, P O Box 859, Kilauea, Hawaii.
And lust listening to this now, my main thought is that it's not any different than like applying
for a building permit. I mean, before you get a building permit, you have to have the
electrical and you've got to have al] the other departments approve all this kind of stuff before
the Planning Department and Building Department give you the permit to do, you know, to do
your house I mean I don't see what it seems like things are kind of out of perspective here
It seems like both the community and the developer could be at loss here I mean if you
permit it and he's got it permitted, what if he can't dci any of this kind of stuffy What is he
going tci have then'' You're going to have a rezoning, but not going to be able to do anything
there So they're going to put all this money into it and not - It seems like a deferment with a
positive deferment that yes, we will grant the rezoning if these difterent departments come
through and show their positiveness that it can work, then you'll give the final approval. But
to approve ri right now, you're going to automatically get the rezoning without any guarantee
on any side that rt's going to work or anything 1 don't see why anybody would, you know,
why Sidney would not want to even continue with this without even knowing if you could put
in a stop light or if rt's not going to flood out and - I mean that's why nothing's there right
now because it's the only sump area in that whole area to catch water I mean, where does the
water goy I mean there's gang to he have to tie sci much fill and so much to go m there
That's my how f see it I lust -
BAKER Maybe once they get the zoning, they're going to sell it
POMMERENK There you go, yeah
BAKER There you go
POMMERENK Yeah
45
BAKER. Okay And that's their option
GIFFIN Mr Chairman
BAKER Yes, go ahead
GIFFIN May 1 ask the Applicant tf he would he opposed to changing the wording
to Condttton No 3, which is the new Condttton No G, that would state that instead of
depending tf deemed appropriate by the Department of Public Works, that we crossed tt off
FUKE No
GIFFIN And we direct you to do either one
FUKE No, we wouldn't
GIFFIN And that way i think there would be some guarantee
FUKE. That's correct
GIFFIN To the community that either one of them will be that either one of
them will be done
SOUZA- What Commissioner Giffin is saying, as I understand it, what then
what happens if Public Works said no, we don't approve anyone of them''
GiFFIN Then I think that rt would come back to us. But see, this way, we're not
leaving the neighbors at the mercy of Public Works I think that we are directing the
Applicant to do one of the two that they have suggested and said they are willing to do This
way we can guarantee the community that one of these options will be done to alleviate their
pressing traffic problem And I find that much more reassuring, and I think the aimmuntty
would, too If we simply said one of the two must be done, not one of the two should be dome
at the mercy of whatever Public Works decides
BAKER That's a good point
SOUZA It is a grnxl porn[. Downside of that is that you know while the residents
feel that this may he the best two options, as they look at it, they may u~me up with a better
option
GiFFIN Our Public Works'
SOUZA Our Public Works
46
GIFFIN• I don't know I really doubt that But I ask the traffic engineer, the
private traffic engineer that was hired by the Applicant, if they had any other suggestions, and
he said really no, with the exception of some hammerlock or whatever it was called And so
baring that, with all the wisdom of the private engineer, i doubt senously that Public Works,
our Public Works would come up with anything more creative
BAKER Any questions
FUKE• I think the -
BAKER Any further questions
FUKE Mr. Chazrman, the worst case scenario is that even if you put the traffic
lights in, and if Public Works finds that it just doesn't work out, then just deactivate the lights
like how you have on Henry Street on the second, you know, the second so you have lights
that are not activated But if it proves to be, you know, a greater traffic mover, then i think
that what we've been discussing today, for the last three hours, I think would probably be
appropriate
BAKER. Okay Any further discussions Commissioner Souza, you had a
motion
SOUZA I don't anymore
BAKER Oh, okay
SOUZA• With Commissioner Giffin's suggestiohs, which I can go along with, I
mean
BAKER Okay
GIFFIN Susan Excuse me, Mr Chairman.
BAKER Sure, go ahead
GIFFIN Susan, I'm going to need your guidance in the appropnate wording, but
the one thing that I would tike to include is the amendment, or no, we don't even have to
amend it
GAGORIK Yeah
GiFFIN Because this was not part of our recommendation, rights But to change
the wording of the proposed Condition No. 3, which is the new Condition G, crossing out
those words "if deemed appropnate by the Department of Pubbc Works " So if you could
help me come up with the correct wording, i would be happy to move and make that motion
47
GACORIK: Okay Do you want me to just tell you the mohon~
GIFFIN Yes, please
BAKER Yeah, why don't you
GAGORIK. Now, Mr Souza, he has the wording Basically, the recommendation
is and I'll state that yctu are recommending that a favorable recommendation
GIFFIN Yes.
GAGORIK Be forwarded to the County Council
GIFFIN. Yes
GAGORIK• Wtth the Planning Director's recommendation and with the
recommended changes or revised conditions by Mr. Sidney Fuke, with an amendment to tits
Condition No 3, and that amdition, should [state its
GIFFIN• Yes
GAGORIK Says that further, a traffic signal light or roundabout system at the
intersection of Pilipa`a and Pu`atnako Streets, deleting "if deemed appropriate by the
Department of Public Wotks," and delete that section, "shall be installed pnor to the tssuance
of occupancy permit for any commercial development within the &rst increment
In addition, the Planning Director had previously recommended condition changes, sct we
would like to also amend Condthon E and H as recommended by the Planning Dtrector
Condition E mentioned that if required by the Department of PubLc Works, the Apphcant shall
obtain a FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision pnor to final plan approval, and a FEMA
Letter of Map Revision pnor to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy tot any development
with the subject properties
Under Condthon H, the amendment, and it's included, a drainage study shall he prepared and
submitted to for approval to the Department of Public Works together with any plans fur the
development or subdtvtstctn of the subject properties and required dratnage system shall be
constructed pnor to or m conjunction with final plan approval or tssuance of a certtftcate of
occupancy meeting with the approval of the Department of Publtc Works
In addmon, the Planning Dtrector recommended an amendment to Item 21 of the Background
Report to clarity that it should say M&E Pacific, Inc instead of the Department of Public
Works
GIFFIN Oh, for the traffic
48
GAGORIK: Okay
GIFFIN What page ~s that one
GAGORIK It's Item 21
GIFFIN Yeah
GAGORIK I'm not sure what page it's on
BAKER. I think that when we when you say rt Commtss~oner, you don't have to
try to repeat everything she says
GIFFIN. Oh, I'm not
BAKER• Just say as stated by Staff
GAGORIK• Yeah
GIFFIN You bet, I'm not.
BAKER As stated Because it's all ~n the record.
SOUZA I trust Susan; I second the motion
GAGORIK. Okay
BAKER So that a motion was made by Commissioner Giffin, which was read
by Staff, and a second was made by Commtss~oner Souza on the motion. We are in the
discussion penod Any discussions Commissioner Togash~
TOGASHI I do have I understand what Comm~ss~oner Giffin ~s saying, but by
eLmmahng the phrase "~f deemed appropriate by Department of Public Works," has is this
mams~stent with, I guess, prior In the years that I've been on the Commtss~on, m cases
mvolv~ng roadways, I've never come across a s~tuauon where we don't include that phrase I
mean, we're not the experts, nght~ I mean, have you ever seen that where it's not
GOLDSTEIN No, we're -
TOGASHI I feel very uncomfortable wrih what the -
GOLDSTEIN• In prior I believe there have been other Instances m which
Commisswners have required say, for example, an underpass or an overpass, m this case, ~t
didn't have to do with Public Works but DOT along -
49
TOGASH[` Rtght
GOLDSTEIN Along Queen Ka`ahumanu Htghway for the Hapuna Prtnce
TOGASHI But you'd say -
GOLDSTEIN That was a -
TOGASHI. If deemed appropriate by -
GOLDSTEIN No, I don't -
TOGASHI Department of Transportation
GOLDSTEIN Believe it said that The thing ts, I think you are making
recommendations to the County Cvunctl
TOGASHI Right
GOLDSTEIN You are saying that this is the direction or the requirement that you
would like to see It is true that Public Works may, to further reviewing, not agree. At that
point, if the condfion went to -
TOGASHI County Council.
GOLDSTEIN The County Council and was adopted to that fashion, at that point, the
developer has the option of gvmg back, coming back to the Department and County Council
and request a change of -
TOGASHI• Amendment Amendment
GOLDSTEIN Amendment to that condition, and then it gets brought up before the
public agate
BAKER. Okay Any other questions or discussion? Commissioner Souza
SOUZA I don't have anything on the motum, but before we get nd of this topic,
you knvw, I lust want to make a statement to the residents that should this motion pass, it
would be in their best interest, I think, to review whether they would rather have the trafttc
light or pursue the Awapuht Street concession that the developers are wilLng to make I
wouldn't suggest that tf yvu can get ingress and egress from the State Transportation
Department, Kanoelehua Htghway, that would be the ideal, but really, you knvw, now that
you have the trafttc light, you may really want to consider whether you want them to pursue
the Awapuht Street optron
50
BAKER I have something to say I believe that the residents, tf this does pass,
that you have a chance to go to the County Council to speak up The restdents and the people
that live there need to come out with a stronger posuxm Today I've asked the question to
quite a few of the people that represented this, and they weren't really commuted one way or
another To me, I got the impression they're sitting on the tence They land of liked it, they
didn't Itke it, and they had some concerns
Well, Itke [said, if it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck, it's got to be a duck And my
posihon is I'm going to vote no because number one, u's a flood zone area, so u's a duck If
we're going to develop anything there, it should be a residential area, that's the way it's zcmed
You have high ground that they talked about, two and a half acres If you put housing in there
or it's supposed to be a zoning, they probably could use the other road because those people
there are housing They wouldn't want a commercial area, but they wouldn't probably object
to the road being used for housing because there are all homes along there So the Applicant at
least could have some money generated from that property
Maybe the lower area that's in the extensive flood utne can be passed on to the government to
take care of the flooding and zoning because we have a responsibility for that area And it can
be landscaped and the as they talked about, the culverts are too small That would be all
fixed up, and it could be landscaped like how it is across the street where the Prince Kuhio
Plaza side is landscaped and be taken care of that
So that's the way I look at it To me, when I say it looks ldce a duck and it walks like a duck,
then I cannot endorse that, and that's my positum and the way I look at it, but that's only one
man's opinion Thank you Anyone else?
GOLDSTEIN I believe Staff needs to make a comment or note, essentially provide
other information
GAGORIK Okay In your files, you will see a correspondence that was sent to you
from the Department of Public Works regarding the application They had attached a map,
and it showed the ownership of Pu`ainako Street So with the way the condinon is written,
making improvements to Pu`ainako Street, you should be aware that Public Works owns only a
portion of that, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands owns another section
GIFFIN I asked that question this morning at the site visitation, and apparently
there is?omt ownership
GAGORIK Right
GIFFIN- Correct
GAGORIK Right
51
GIFFIN• Up and to that point lust prior to that subdiv~scon
GAGORIK That curve, yeah, at the intersection
TOGASHI So are you implying that there is something inherently wrong with the
GAGORIK No, rt's lust that -
TOGASHI With the language
GAGORIK That whole process needs to be consulted wrth not only Public Works
but-
GIFFIN But Hawauan Homes
GAGORIK But Hawaiian Home Lands
GIFFIN: Wght
BAKER Commissioner Souza
SOUZA. Mr Chairman, I'd lust like to suggest to you that you change your mind
about voting no and vote yes Let me explain why If you vote no, this will not get to the
County Council
GOLDSTEIN It will
BAKER It depends on how many no votes
SOUZA Yeah, I mean if the Commissu>n decide not to pass tt on, rt will not get
to the County Council. But I tlunk there's a lot of benefns here for the residents and for the
developer, and I lust feel that cf ~t goes to the County Council, there ~s enough hme that they
can work on thcs further for a better solution, you mcght say But cf we don't pass it, ct won't
get to the County Council
GAGORIK Mr Souza, cf I may dust clarify that If you do cf the Planning
Commtsscon does send an unfavorable recommendation, that unfavorable recommendation will
still he forwarded to the County Council.
BAKER And they could vote a up or down
GAGORIK Right
BAKER Correct Okay So I could vote no Okay Any further d~scusscon~
Hearing none, Stafl, let's call for the vote
52
GAGORIK Okay I'm sorry, who seconded the motton~
GIFFIN Mr Souza dtd
GAGORIK Okay, I'm sorry Commtssxmer Giffin
