Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 placed on them by the larger 40-acre zoned parcels. Therefore, a favorable recommendation of [his change of zone request will be consistent with the surrounding land use pattern already established within this area. Primary access to the subject area is from the Mamalahoa Highway, which is an improved 60-foot wide right-of--way and a 20-foot wide paved roadway surface. A 1.102-acre 50-foot wide roadway perpendicular to Mamalahoa Highway, running the length of the proposed lots is proposed. The State Department of Transportation and County Department of Public Works have not expressed any concern regarding the traffic generated by the proposed subdivision and potential impacts to the Mamalahoa Highway, with the exception of complying with the minimum sight distance for subdivision access road connection to Mamalahoa Highway and limiting direct access to the highway from the individual subdivided lots. These restrictions and requirements will be accessed and imposed at the time of subdivision review. Water for the existing building is presently served by a 5/8-inch water meter. The Department of Water Supply recommends that anticipated maximum daily water usage be submitted by a registered engineer. Therefore, as a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to comply with the requirements of the Department of Water Supply. Wastewater generated by the proposed development will be disposed of utilizing an individual wastewater disposal system for each lot meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. All other essential utilities and services are or will be made available to support the proposed development. Archaeological sites are not anticipated to be located within the subject property due to former and current agricultural activities and homesite improvements. The Department of Land and Natural Resources have indicated that the proposed subdivision development will have "no effect" on historic sites. Should historical sites be located within the subject property, the applicant will be required to immediately notify the Planning Department. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Agricultural-40 acres (A-40a) to Family Agricultural-3 acres (FA-3a) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-11 (Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map) of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
