22 PROIECl' PH_1SING AND BASIS FOR PROJECT I be 114 one -acre and larger lot; are approximate in number because some lots will overlap with existing A-1 a zoned land to the east. The proposed agricultural one -acre subdivision is planned to be developed in phases based on market demand. 'I he initial phase is within the existing zoned A-1 a portion to the north of the proposed Puainako Street Extension, which has been considered in the plan. 'I he one acre lots will be served by County standard roadways. The land is divided by existing natural drainage courses, which will be partially improved. Drainage easement, will be created on individual lots to keep habitable structures out of flood hazard zones. 'I he zone change request was based on economic realities of land development. In order to cover the costs of development, including roads, water system, and electricity, while providing lots that can be sold at market prices, the smaller lot size is required'. The lot sizes are expected to allow for "subsistence" agriculture which can provide for family and hobby uses, and limit oversupply to the local market. Profitable commercial agriculture is not likely feasible at this scale, nor is it guaranteed at larger scales. The lots are designed to sell for approximately$100,000. 2.3 INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Water will be provided to the project site from the County of Hawaii, Department of Water Supply DWS) system. Presently the new Saddle Road Well is the main source of water, supplying the Saddle Road Reservoir. According to the County Department of Water Supply (DWS) in a letter dated March 13, 2003, the Department will support the proposed zone change and provide water units to support a subdivision of up to 7 units per lot of record, or 35 units of water. A booster pumping system will be provided for any further subdivision above the 7 units of water per lot of record (Attachment 2). The applicant proposes to complete the subdivision with water units in phases, and will thereafter construct a booster pump station to accommodate subdivision of the remaining lots. Water supply for the booster pump station will be provided by other reservoirs in the service area including the Piihonua Reservoir. SEWERAGE The proposed project will consist of 5 total parcels (TMKs) due to subdivision by the Puainako Street Extension. According to the State Department of Health (DOH), Fnvironmental Management Division, any development which exceeds 50 lots per parcel of record will require a
