Arakalti, Chauman and Members of the County Council Page 5 All uhlrties and sernces are or will be made avazlable to the project site which are essential to accommodate urban development. Access to the property rs from Kinoole Street, a County owned roadway with a 40.foot pavement within a 60-foot right-of--way The Department of Public Works recommends that the exrsting concrete dnveway be reconstructed to meet the requirements of the Hawaii County Code and the Americans with Disabihnes Act (ADA). Sazd agency further stated that the applicant provide fiill- width concrete sidewalk along the subject property's entire Kinoole Street frontage. A condition is included to address those improvements. According to the Department of Water Supply, water is available to the property from an existing 5/8-inch meter and an 8- rnch waterline along IUnoole Street fronting the property. All other utilities and sernces are available to the property.

The property rs rectangular in shape, and the topography is slightly sloping from north to south. According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), rt is within Zone X, an area detemuned to be outside the 500-year flood. The property is also located outarde of any tsunamr inundation area. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply wrath Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The property has been previously developed with a residence and therefore, no endangered or threatened species of floral or fauna nor any archaeological sites are anttcrpated to be found on the property. To rmhgate any potenttal norse and visual impacts to adjacent neighbors, rt rs recommended that a landscaping buffer, to be determined during plan approval revrew, be established along both the north and south property boundaries. Based on the above findings, this request for a Change of Zone from a Single Fanuly Resrdenttal (RS-10) to a General Commercial (CG-10) zoned distact would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33, the City of Hilo Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
