PUBL.i rrn.rriFC ivU c .RVI ..c <br /> 21. Access: The proposed main access to the properties is from Puamako Street, a County <br /> Roadway identified as a primary arterial with a minimum width of 120 feet. Accordmg <br /> to the Department of Public Works, the dnveway along Pusinako Street will be liaated to <br /> right-taro in and right-taro out traffic movements only. However, the Department of <br /> Transportation opposes a commercial dnveway from the subject property to either <br /> Kaaoelehua Avenue or Pusinako Street, as the driveway(s) would be too close to the <br /> congested intersection. The applicant's request is not compatible with the Departrnent of <br /> Transportation's plans for mtersection improvements. According to the Department of <br /> Transportation, the County Puainako Street Extension project will not include <br /> improvements at this intersection The Department anticipates that the Puaurako Street <br /> Extension project may women traffic ccmgestion this intersection by directing new traffic <br /> to the area. To address the traffic bottleneck at the Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue <br /> intersection, the Department of Transportation has proposed to undertake Paainako Street <br /> Improvements, Kilauea Avenue to Kanoelehua Avenue, Phases I and II. This project will <br /> likely require lead acquisition from the subjcet parcels. A revised Traffic Impact <br /> Analysis Report (1'IAR) submitted in rosponse to comments from the Department of <br /> Public Works and the Department of Transportation concluded that with the mitigation <br /> measures proposed by the Department of Public Works (right-tmn in, right-turn out at <br /> Pusiaako Street), the traffic should be satisfactory. Awapuhi Street, which has a ltrfoot <br /> pavement within a 40-foot right-0f-way, ends at the southern portion of the site. This <br /> Awapulu Street secondary access is not envisioned to serve the aceess needs or <br /> requirement of the project, but will be provided largely for the convenience of the <br /> residents along Awapuhi Stroet. According to the Department of Public Works, Parce170 <br /> (site of the Hilo Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witaeas) would become landlocked should <br /> this request be approved. However, according to the applicant, access to Paroe170 would <br /> be provided through this project by the extension of Awapuhi Street. <br /> <br /> 22.
