PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 24. Roadway Access: Construction of Kawili Street as an 80 -foot right-of-way between Kanoelehua Avenue and Hinano Street was completed in the 1960s, in conjunction with the development of the Kanoelehua Industrial Lots Subdivision. Subsequently, the 80 -foot right-of-way extension of Kawili Street between Hinano Street and Manono Street was constructed in the 1970s. Parcel 37 has frontage along Kawili Street and Laukapu Street, while Parcel 38 has frontage along Laukapu Street. Kawili Street has a 24 -foot wide pavement and 8-10 foot wide partially paved/graveled shoulders within the 80 -foot right-of-way. Laukapu Street has a 40 -foot right-of-way with 20 -foot wide pavement and 4-8 foot wide grassed shoulders. There are no curb, gutter or sidewalks along this section of Kawili Street and Hinano Street. Curbs, gutters and sidewalk were recently installed along Manono Street and its intersection with Kawili Street and Lanikaula Street. There are also sidewalks fronting Mehana Brewing Company on Kawili Street, Les' Carpet & Drapery on Hinano Street, and the warehouse at the corner of Lanikaula Street and Laukapu Street. These sidewalk improvements were installed as a requirement of the respective ordinances. Otherwise, there are no curbs, gutters or sidewalks along Kawili Street and Laukapu Street. The Department of Public Works recommends that "Because Kawili Street is an arterial and the development's proximity to Makaala Street, access should be limited to Laukapu Street. The future road widening setback fronting Laukapu Street should comply with the zoning map." Said agency further stated, "The applicant shall provide full improvements to the entire frontage along Laukapu and Kawili Streets consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks, curb ramp, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation. The applicant shall also provide a minimum 20 -ft curve radius at the intersection of Laukapu and Kawili Streets." The DPW also recommends, "Streetlights and traffic control devices shall be installed as required by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Works." It is pointed out that due to the proposed MCX zoning request, Laukapu Street would be required to be widened to a 60 -foot right-of- way to accommodate commercial/industrial uses. Therefore, a 10 -foot road widening strip along the Laukapu Street frontage will impact the property. -6-
