PC-21 Page 2 May 1, 2001 Surrounding lands to the immediate north, west and south are zoned Single Family Residential (RS-10). The parcel across Kilauea Avenue is vacant. There are dwellings across Kaha`ope`a Street. Anon-conforming auto repair shop is located on the southwest corner of Kilauea Avenue and Kaha`ope`a Street. The adjoining property to the east is the existing Pu`ainako Town Center which is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN-10). On the adjoining parcel along Kilauea Avenue, Use Permit No. 133 was granted to Robert and Carol Oshiro on March 9, 1995, to allow the establishment of an adult day care facility. Northwest of the new K. Taniguchi Ltd. parking area, Use Permit No. 39, granted to Robert Klein on April l 1, 1986, and amended on May 3, 1990, allowed for the establishment of a chiropractic health center. Lands further to the northwest are the existing Maebo Noodle Factory and Kai Store, respectively. These two areas have been zoned as Neighborhood Commercial (CN-10) since 1967. The proposed ingress/egress to the property, in compliance with the Department of Public Works requirements concerning Driveway Layouts, will be via the two roads. One access is proposed to be located approximately 20 feet from the northwest corner of the property on Kilauea Avenue. The second access is proposed to be 30 feet from the southeast corner of the property, adjacent to the Pu`ainako Town Center's service road along Kaha`ope`a Street. From Kilauea Avenue to the subject property's eastern property line, Kaha`ope`a Street is an existing 25'4" paved road with 6' wide paved shoulders. From the eastern property line of the subject property towards Kanoelehua Avenue, Kaha`ope`a Street has a 50-foot right-of--way. According to the city of Hilo Zone Map and the General Plan Facilities Map, Kaha`ope`a Street is reflected to be widened to a 50-foot right-of--way. The Department of Public Works has also required the applicant to delineate a 10-foot future road widening setback for Kaha`ope`a Street. Although water may not be required for the proposed parking area, water is available to the property through three separate 5/8-inch meters. As recommended by the Department of Water Supply, the three existing service laterals will be replaced by a new 1 3/4" Type "A" service lateral with a 1-inch meter with three units of water. In addition, a backflow preventer (reduced pressure type) would be installed. Since water would be used for irrigation, a master landscape water meter agreement must be entered into with the Department of Water Supply. Committee Member Curtis Tyler questioned the language in Condition N. A representative from the Department of Public Works explained that should another use other than the parking lot be initiated, a final status report shall be submitted to the Planning Director. It was further clarified that if a commercial use other than a parking lot be initiated, the Department of Public Works would require curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along Kilauea Avenue which would then be dedicated to the County.
