~ASIBILITY T Y
The Hawaii County Council adopted Resolution No. 397 96 on October 16, 1996
which directed the Planning Director to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of deleting
a portion of the proposed northern extension of the Komohana Street 80-foot right-of--way
alignment as delineated on the General Plan Facilities Map and the City of Hilo Zone Map.
Specifically, the section of the proposed 80-foot right-of-way alignment extends in a northerly
direction from the intersection of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue over and across
Wailuku River and onto lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River in Piihonua and Puueo,
City of Hilo, South Hilo, Hawaii. The section of the proposed right-of--way alignment
traverses the land area within the Piihonua House Lots Extension 3rd Series and a portion of
Reeds Island identified by Tax Map Key: 2-3-26:Portions of 2, 13, 18, 19, 25, 34, 41, 43,
44, 45, 48, 49 and 50; and a portion of land on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River identified
by Tax Map Key: 2-6-8:Portions of 35 and 37.
GENE .INFO NATION
1. Land Ownership: According to the files at the County Real Property Tax Division,
Parcels 13, 43, 44, 45, 49 and 50 are owned by the State of Hawaii, Parcels 35 and 37
are owned by C. Brewer Company and the rest of the parcels are owned by individual
landowners.
2. Existing Road: It should be clarified that an existing 40-foot "paper" road (name
changed from Puu Honu Street to Komohana Street in July 1967) extends from
Waianuenue Avenue to Wailuku Drive ("paper" road). This 40-foot roadway is
proposed to be widen by 20 feet on both sides of the right-of--way, thereby resulting in
the proposed 80-foot right-of-way alignment. The proposed 80-foot right-of-way
alignment then extends northerly and traverses parcel 2 and lands on the Hamakua side
of Wailuku River. (See Exhibit A -Tax Map Plat)
3. Construction of the existing Komohana Street 80-foot right-of-way from West Puainako
Street to Waianuenue Avenue was completed in July 1967. Since its adoption by the
Board of Supervisors on December 26, 1968, the City of Hilo Zone Map identified the
Komohana Street as an 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterial and extending in a
northerly direction from its intersection at Waianuenue Avenue towards lands on the
Hamakua side of Wailuku Drive, and in a southerly direction from its intersection at
Ainaola Street to Stainback Highway. Subsequently, the General Plan Facilities Map,
which was in effect on December 22, 1971, also identified the same Komohana Street
80-foot right-of-way alignment, except that the alignment in the northerly direction
extended further toward Honomu. During the 1989 General Plan Comprehensive
Review Program, the 80-foot right-of--way alignment was extended in the southerly
direction from Stainback Highway toward Keaau.
PROPOCED AMENDMENT
4. Specifically, the proposed amendment to the General Plan Facilities Map involves the
deletion of the proposed 20-foot right-of--way widening along the east and west
boundaries of the existing 40-foot "paper" road right-of-way and the deletion of that
section of the proposed northern extension of the Komohana Street 80-foot right-of--way
alignment from Wailuku Drive to and across a portion of land on Reeds Island and land
on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River. The proposed amendment to the City of Hilo
Zone Map also involves the deletion of the road right-of-way widening and the entire
section of the proposed northern extension of the Komohana Street 80-foot right-of--way
alignment. It should be pointed out that the specific section of the 80-foot right-of--way
alignment to be deleted from the General Plan Facilities Map affects only that portion
which coincides with the City of Hilo Zone Map. In support of the County Council's
request for the deletion of the proposed right-of-way alignment, the resolution stated
the following rationale:
(See Exhibit B -Resolution No. 397 96)
STATE AND COUNTY PLANS
5. State Land Use District: The properties affected by the section of the proposed
northern extension of the Komohana Street 80-foot right-of--way alignment and situated
between Waianuenue Avenue and Wailuku River are classified Urban by the State Land
-2-
Use Commission. Lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River are situated within the
Conservation/Agricultural/Urban Districts.
6. General Plan: The goals, policies, standard and courses of action of the
Transportation Element are as follows:
* Provide a transportation system whereby people and goods can move efficiently,
safely, comfortably and economically.
* Provide a system of thoroughfares and streets for the safe, efficient and
comfortable movement of people and goods between and within the various
sections of the County.
* The County shall coordinate with appropriate Federal and State agencies for the
funding of transportation projects for areas of anticipated growth.
* Transportation and drainage systems shall be integrated where feasible.
* The County shall develop short and long range capital improvement programs
and plans for transportation which are consistent with the County General Plan.
* Secondary arterial is a street of considerable continuity which is primarily a
traffic artery for intercommunication between or through large areas;
interconnect with and augment primary system.
* A realignment of the Saddle Road from the Forest Reserve boundary on the
south side of Kaumana Drive and along the north side of Puainako Street,
intersecting the present Puainako alignment at Kinoole Street and continuing to
the intersection of Kanoelehua Avenue should be constructed.
* Widen Akolea Road to provide the uppermost cross-city connection from
Piihonua to Kaumana and the upper reaches of Ainaola Drive.
* Provide an integrated State and County system so that new major routes will
complement and encourage proposed land uses.
7. General Plan LUPAG Map: The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
(LUPAG) Map designates the area between Waianuenue Avenue and Wailuku River as
Medium Density Urban Development, except Parcel 2 which is situated on a portion of
Reeds Island is designated as Low Density Urban Development. The proposed 80-foot
right-of-way alignment extends across the Flood Plain designation (Wailuku River) and
-3-
onto lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River which are designated Open
Area/Extensive Agricultural/Low Density Urban Development.
8. General Plan Facilities Map: As previously noted, the Facilities Map delineates
Komohana Street as an 80-foot right-of--way secondary arterial which extends in a
northerly direction from its intersection at Waianuenue Avenue towards lands on the
Hamakua side of Wailuku Drive and terminates near Honomu, and in a southerly
direction from its intersection at Ainaola Street to Keaau. The General Plan Facilities
Map also reflects the following proposed and/or existing 80-foot right-of--way
secondary arterials: (See Exhibit C)
a) Akolea Road is approximately 2.3 miles and less than 5 minutes from the
intersection of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue. Since 1935, Akolea
Road extended in a northern direction from Kaumana Drive to Waipahoehoe
Stream/Gulch, approximately 4,600 feet. Subsequently in 1949, Akolea Road
extended further north for a mile to connect to Waianuenue Avenue. A major
length of Akolea Road, from Waianuenue Avenue toward Kaumana Drive,
presently has a 20-foot pavement and 3-foot paved shoulders within an existing
40-foot right-of--way. The remaining portion of the road to Kaumana Drive has
a minimum 10-foot pavement within the 40-foot right-of-way. The entire
Akolea Road was resurfaced in June 1995. The proposed Akolea Road 80-foot
right-of-way alignment is proposed to be extended and connected to the
proposed 120-foot Saddle Road-Puainako Street alignment and extend further to
the upper Waiakea Uka Homestead area.
b) Ainako Street is approximately 0.5 miles east of (makai) Akolea Road. It
presently has a 20-foot pavement and paved pedestrian walkway and drainage
ditches along both sides within an existing 70-foot right-of-way. The properties
along both sides of Ainako Street have a building setback line of 25 feet. The
proposed Ainako Street 80-foot right-of--way alignment is proposed to be
extended and connected to Mohouli Street.
-4-
c) Kilauea Avenue has an existing 70-foot right-of-way and is proposed to be
widened to an 80-foot right-of-way.
9. Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP): The Hilo Community Development
Plan, which was adopted by the Planning Commission in May 1975, recommended the
area between Waianuenue Avenue and Wailuku River for residential uses. The Hilo
CDP also recommended that Komohana Street be extended north to connect with the
Hawaii Bel[ Highway and south to Stainback Highway as this would provide a major
access route from the Hamakua coast and the Hilo residential areas to the Panaewa
Race Track and Zoo. The Hilo CDP also identifies the proposed 80-foot right-of-way
secondary arterials for Akolea Road, Ainako Street and Kilauea Avenue.
10. County Zoning: The County zoning designations for the area are primarily Single
Family Residential (RS-7.5), Parcel 2 which is situated on a portion of Reeds Island is
also Single Family Residential (RS-15), the State-owned properties are zoned Open and
the lands owned by C. Brewer are zoned Agricultural (A-20)/Single Family Residential
(RS-7.5).
11. Zoning Code: The following sections of the Zoning Code are applicable.
"Section 25-3-4. Establishment of building lines, future width lines and plan
lines for future streets. Building lines, future width lines and plan lines for
future streets may be established and shown on any section of the zoning map as
provided in sections 25-3-3 and 25-8-1 of this chapter."
"Section 25-3-8. Legal effect of establishment of building lines, future width
lines, and plan lines.
(a) Whenever a building line is established along any street on the zoning
map, the minimum front yard for any affected property shall be equal to
the distance between the street and [he established building line.
(b) Whenever a future width line is established on the zoning map, the
future width line shall be considered to be the front property line of the
affected property. The area between the future width line and the street
-5-
(if outside the right-of-way) shall be deemed to be the street right-of-
way, and cannot be considered in computing the minimum yard required
on any building site.
(c) Whenever plan lines for a future street have been established on the
zoning map, the plan lines shall be considered to be the front property
line, and the area between the plan lines shall be deemed to be street
right-of-way. The minimum required yards of any building site shall be
computed excluding any area within plan lines for future streets
established on the zoning map."
12. City of Hilo Zone Map: The City of Hilo Zone Map was also adopted to reflect
roadway networks and circulation systems. As previously noted, the City of Hilo Zone
Map delineates Komohana Street as an 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterial which
extends in a northerly direction from its intersection at Waianuenue Avenue to and onto
a portion of land on the Hamakua side of Wailuku Drive and in a southerly direction
from its intersection at Ainaola Street to Stainback Highway. The City of Hilo Zone
Map also reflects the proposed 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterials for Akolea
Road, Ainako Street and Kilauea Avenue. (See Exhibit D)
13. Special Management Area (SMA): The subject area is not situated within the Special
Management Area (SMA) of the County of Hawaii.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA
14. Piihonua House Lots Subdivision: The Piihonua House Lots Subdivision 3rd Series
Extension has been in existence since the early 1930's with average lot sizes ranging
from 12,000± to 14,700± square feet. The subdivision is bounded by Waianuenue
Avenue to the south, Hale Street to the east, Wailuku Drive ("paper" road) to the north
and Punawai Street to the west. Kahema Street, an existing 50-foot road right-of-way,
bisects the subdivision, running parallel to Waianuenue Avenue. An existing 40-foot
wide "paper" road (previously named Puu Honu Street) also bisects the subdivision,
running perpendicular to Waianuenue Avenue and aligns directly opposite the existing
Komohana Street.
-6-
15. Affected Properties: The affected properties within the Piihonua House Lots
Subdivision are primarily rectangular in shape with the lot dimensions ranging from 78
feet to 90 feet in width and 140 feet to 180 feet in length. Except for the State-owned
properties, all of these affected properties presently contain single family dwellings
which were constructed between 1949 and 1967. Five of the dwellings are over 40
years old but are in good condition for habitation. Construction of an ohana dwelling
was recently completed in 1995 on one of the properties. The parcel on Reeds Island
and lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River are presently vacant of any structures
or uses. A major portion of the State-owned parcels are presently overgrown with
trees and shrubs.
16. Existing Conditions: Portions of the existing 40-foot right-of-way are overgrown with
trees and grass. Several utility poles are also situated within the right-of-way.
According to records on file, an existing asphalt concrete pavement driveway, within
the existing 40-foot right-of-way from Waianuenue Avenue, provides access to three
residences located on two parcels fronting Waianuenue Avenue. The existing dwelling
on Parcel 25, (west side) is situated 15 feet from the existing 40-foot right-of--way and a
portion of the existing garage encroaches within the right-of-way. There are two
existing dwellings on Parcel 18 (east side). The existing dwelling on the front portion
of the parcel is situated 29 feet and an existing rock/concrete bomb shelter is located 4
feet from the existing 40-foot right-of-way. The second dwelling is situated 32 feet
from the existing 40-foot right-of-way.
It should be pointed out that Komohana Street was constructed in 1967 to provide
transportation movement between the Kaumana and Waiakea Homesteads areas. Since
then, residential subdivisions have been developing along Komohana Street, in the
Kaumana and Piihonua areas and in the upper Waiakea Homesteads areas. These
regional growth on both sides of the City of Hilo has resulted in heavy traffic and at
times traffic congestion on Komohana Street as well as at its major intersections with
Waianuenue Avenue, Ponahawai Street, Mohouli Street, Puainako Street and Kawailani
Street.

17. Land Study Bureau Report: Lands in the area are classified as Urban uses. Lands
on the Hamakua side is classified as "C" or Fair and a small portion as "E" or Very
Poor (within the Wailuku River/Gulch).
18. Soil Survey Report: The soils between Waianuenue Avenue and Wailuku River are
classified as Keaukaha Series (rKFD) extremely rocky muck, 6 to 20 percent slopes.
The soils consist of well-drained, thin organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock.
In a representative profile, the surface layer is very dark brown muck about 8 inches
thick. The soils above the lava is rapidly permeable. The pahoehoe lava is very
slowly permeable, but water moves rapidly through the cracks. Runoff is medium and
the erosion hazard is slight. A portion of the land on the Hamakua side is classified as
Hilo Series (HoC) silty clay loam, 0 to 10 percent slopes. In representative profile, the
surface layer is dark-brown silty clay loam about 12 inches thick. The subsoil is about
48 inches thick and consists of dark-brown, dark reddish-brown and very dark grayish-
brown silty clay loam. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is
slight. The Wailuku River/Gulch area is classified as Rough Broken (RB) land which
is a miscellaneous land type that consists of very steep, precipitous land broken by
many intermittent drainage channels. It occurs primarily in gulches and the slope is
dominantly 35 to 70 percent.
19. FIRM Map: The Flood Insurance Rate Map classifies a major portion of the affected
properties, including the lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River, as Zone X,
areas determined to be outside 500-year flood plain. Portions of the individual lots on
the north side of Kahema Street, the State-owned lands, a portion of Parcel 2 and a
portion of the lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku River are classified as Zone A,
Special Flood Hazard Areas inundated by 100-year flood with no base flood elevation
determined.
20. Surrounding Land Use/Zoning: Adjacent lands are primarily in single family
residences and similar zoned RS-7.5. Lands are also classified Urban by the State
Land Use Commission and within the Medium Density Urban Development area as
designated by the General Plan LUPAG Map. The County's Water Reservoir site and
-8-
the existing Piihonua Park and Carvalho Gym complex are located to the west of the
Piihonua House Lot Subdivision and approximately 800-900 feet from the intersection
of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue. This area is zoned Open. The Hilo
High School and Hilo Intermediate School complexes are situated approximately 900
feet to the east from the Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue intersection and the
area is zoned Single Family Residential (RS-7.5). The areas on the Puna side of
Waianuenue Avenue are zoned RS-7.5, within the Urban district and designated as
Low Density Urban. The existing Hawaii Community Correctional Facility is located
to the southeast of the intersection of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue. The
surrounding areas are primarily in residential uses.
PUBLIC FACI ITIES AND SERVICES
21. All essential public facilities and services are available to the area.

ANALYSIS
The General Plan is a policy document of the long-range comprehensive development
of the Island of Hawaii. It provides alternatives and options for the balanced growth of the
County and for the coordinated expenditure of public funds for capital improvement projects.
As a policy document, it expresses the goals for the present and future community from an
islandwide basis. The document includes goals, policies, standards and courses of action
covering a range of county and community concerns, including economics, environmental,
social, land use and the coordination of governmental facilities and services.
Transportation is the systems and modes of conveyance of people and goods from place
to place. It can be considered the major infrastructural element of an area. The purpose of
transportation planning is to provide faster, safer and more efficient travel. As transportation
systems are expensive to construct and maintain, great care and foresight are needed in
developing plans for them.
The overall Transportation goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan
the circulation in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. The reasons to
support [he deletion of the proposed northern Komohana Street 80-foot right-of-way alignment
from its intersection at Waianuenue Avenue toward and across the Wailuku River would not
conflict with the following goals, policies and standards of the General Plan's Transportation
Element:
* Provide a transportation system whereby people and goods can move efficiently,
safely, comfortably and economically.
* Provide a system of thoroughfares and streets for the safe, efficient and
comfortable movement of people and goods between and within the various
sections of the County.
* The County shall coordinate with appropriate Federal and State agencies for the
funding of transportation projects for areas of anticipated growth.
* Transportation and drainage systems shall be integrated where feasible.
-10-
* The County shall develop short and long range capital improvement programs
and plans for transportation which are consistent with the County General Plan.
* Secondary arterial is a street of considerable continuity which is primarily a
traffic artery for intercommunication between or through large areas;
interconnect with and augment primary system.
* A realignment of the Saddle Road from the Forest Reserve boundary on the
south side of Kaumana Drive and along the north side of Puainako Street,
intersecting the present Puainako alignment at Kinoole Street and continuing to
the intersection of Kanoelehua Avenue should be constructed.
* Widen Akolea Road to provide the uppermost cross-city connection from
Piihonua to Kaumana and the upper reaches of Ainaola Drive.
* Provide an integrated State and County system so that new major routes will
complement and encourage proposed land uses.
As previously mentioned, the General Plan Facilities Map delineates Komohana Street
as an 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterial which extends in a northerly direction from its
intersection at Waianuenue Avenue towards lands on the Hamakua side of Wailuku Drive and
terminates near Honomu, and in a southerly direction from its intersection at Ainaola Street to
Keaau. The Facilities Map also reflects the following proposed and/or existing 80-foot
right-of-way secondary arterials:
1) Akolea Road is approximately 2.3 miles and less than 5 minutes from the
intersection of Komohana Street and Waianuenue Avenue. Since 1935, Akolea
Road extended from Kaumana Drive to Waipahoehoe Stream/Gulch,
approximately 4,600 feet. Subsequently in 1949, Akolea Road extended in the
north direction for a mile to connect to Waianuenue Avenue. A major length of
Akolea Road, from Waianuenue Avenue toward Kaumana Drive, presently has
a 20-foot pavement and 3-foot paved shoulders within an existing 40-foot
right-of-way. The remaining portion of the road to Kaumana Drive has a
minimum 10-foot pavement within the 40-foot right-of-way. The entire Akolea
Road was resurfaced in June 1995. Akolea Road right-of-way is proposed to be
-11-
extended and connected to the proposed 120-foot Saddle Road-Puainako Street
alignment and extend further to the upper Waiakea Uka Homestead area.
2) Ainako Street is approximately 0.5 miles east of (makai) Akolea Road. It
presently has a 20-foot pavement and paved pedestrian walkway and drainage
ditches along both sides within an existing 70-foot right-of-way. The properties
along both sides of Ainako Street have a building setback line of 25 feet.
Ainako Street right-of-way is proposed to be extended and connected to
Mohouli Street.
3) Kilauea Avenue has an existing 70-foot right-of-way and is proposed to be
widened to an 80-foot right-of-way.
The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted by Planning Commission
Resolution in 1975, is intended to provide short and middle range implementation strategies
for the goals, policies and land use pattern presented in the General Plan. The Hilo
Community Development Plan recommended the area between Waianuenue Avenue and
Wailuku River for residential uses. Although the Hilo CDP also recommended that Komohana
Street be extended in a northerly direction, the subject location for the proposed connection
would not be feasible due to the existing residences already in place and the possibility of
costly improvements to construct a bridge over that portion of Wailuku River.
The City of Hilo Zone Map was also adopted to reflect roadway networks and
circulation systems. As previously noted in the feasibility study, the City of Hilo Zone Map
delineates Komohana Street as a proposed 80-foot right-of-way secondary arterials as well as
for Akolea Road, Ainako Street and Kilauea Avenue.
The existing Komohana Street was constructed in 1967 to provide transportation
movement between the Kaumana and Waiakea Homesteads areas. Since then, residential
subdivisions have been developing along Komohana Street, in the Kaumana and Piihonua areas
and in the upper Waiakea Homesteads areas. These regional growth on both sides of the City
of Hilo has resulted in heavy traffic and at times traffic congestion on Komohana Street as well
as at its major intersections with Waianuenue Avenue, Ponahawai Street, Mohouli Street,
Puainako Street and Kawailani Street.
-12-
Except for the State-owned properties and C. Brewer lands, all but one of seven
properties affected by the proposed right-of-way have been developed with residences. The
proposed 80-foot right-of-way would reduce the width of the affected properties to at least 58
feet wide. Acquisition of the right-of-way and its construction along with a bridge across
Wailuku River would be exorbitant in view of the built-up nature of the properties. A cost-
benefit and public benefit analysis would probably conclude that this proposed 80-foot right-of-
way is of very low priority for the City of Hilo and for the County of Hawaii. At the same
time, the private property owners have been prohibited from utilizing their land to the fullest
extent possible because the road right-of-way alignment placed restrictions on construction.
Based on the foregoing, it is reasonable and fair to the public and to the private
property owners to delete the proposed northern Komohana Street extension as reflected on the
General Plan Facilities Map and the City of Hilo Zone Map. Other alternatives should be
considered for the north-south traffic circulation between Honomu, City of Hilo and Keaau.
Safe and efficient transportation systems to the Hilo Medical Center should also be considered
when selecting an alternative route.

nine districts of the Island of Hawaii; and
