adjacent to and/or near the shoreline, and there are no known identified trails going <br />through the site, fishing and/or coastal access should not be an issue. Regarding the <br />burials on the project site, the applicant has stated that descendants will be allowed <br />unfettered access to the burial site, as will be reflected in the approved Burial Treatment <br />Plan. There is no record that DLNR-HPD has approved a preservation and mitigation <br />plan, which would include the Burial Treatment Plan. <br />25. Traffic: A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) for this project was prepared by <br />Witcher Engineering LLP in August, 2003. The study evaluated the traffic impact of this <br />project relative to Ali'i Drive, Royal Poinciana Drive, and Lunapule Road. The study <br />calculated the levels of service (LOS) at various intersections to determine levels of <br />impact resulting from the project. LOS is based on the average stopped delay per vehicle <br />for individual approaches and the intersection as a whole, with a range from "A" to "F." <br />A LOS "A" would be ideal, with average delays of less than 5 seconds, while LOS "F" <br />would be the worst, with average delays of 60 or more seconds, and requiring mitigating <br />measures. Based on this LOS approach, the study made the following findings and <br />conclusions: Relative to the project's intersection, the AM and PM level of service <br />(LOS) would be "C," with or without a left -turn lane at Ali'i Drive. In the case of <br />Lunapule Road, the existing and projected (with the project) AM or morning (6:30 am. <br />to 9:00 a.m.) LOS for westbound traffic is "C, " and is `B" for the PM or afternoon (3:00 <br />p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). During the same period, the AM LOS at Royal Poinciana Drive is <br />"C," and is "D" for the PM traffic. The LOS for southbound movements at both the <br />Lunapule Road and Royal Poinciana Drive intersections was "A." According to the <br />TZAR, the levels of service at the Alii Drive and Royal Poinciana Drive intersection and <br />the Ali'i Drive and Lunapule Road intersection will not be significantly impacted by this <br />development. The TIAR states that the Lunapule Road intersection has been impacted <br />seriously by several developments, but that these developments had little impact on the <br />intersection of Royal Poinciana and AIN Drive. The report concluded that a left tum lane <br />from AIN Drive to the project site was not needed "since the level of service and <br />approach delay remain the same." <br />tf11 <br />
