Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br />and Members of the County Council <br />Page 4 <br />The DPW requires that the applicant's access to Alii Drive provide adequate <br />sight distances, be limited to one approach, and be located to avoid turning conflicts with <br />existing developments, all of which must meet with the approval of DPW. The DPW <br />requires that the applicant provide a minimum of 45 feet of storage and turnaround on the <br />Alii Drive side of any gated vehicle access. All driveway connections shall conform to <br />Chapter 22, Streets and Sidewalks, of the Hawaii County Code. <br />The eastern boundary of the subject parcel is or will be the Kahului to Keauhou <br />Parkway (Ali`i Highway) Phase 1 right-of-way. When this report was prepared, <br />acquisition of the right-of-way had not been completed. The DPW requires that the <br />subject property owner shall be required to provide any additional right-of-way, at no cost <br />to the County, as established by and upon completion of the final right-of-way maps by <br />DPW's consultant. The DPW requires that vehicular access to the individual lots shall <br />not be from any major collector or arterial roadways. An emergency vehicular egress, <br />with a breakaway gate, may be provided to Alii Highway, meeting with the approval of <br />DPW. <br />To serve the subject property and intermediate properties, the DPW requires that <br />the applicant extend the existing two-way left turn lane improvements along the Alii <br />Drive frontage of the subject property. The two-way left tum land improvements shall <br />consist of, but not limited to, pavement widening, drainage improvements, street lights, <br />signs and markings and any relocation of utilities, which must all meet with the approval <br />of the DPW. The DPW also requires the applicant to construct and dedicate all <br />improvements at no cost to the County. <br />The DPW requires that all roadways within the proposed development follow the <br />guidelines incorporated in the Hawaii Statewide Uniform Design Manual for Streets and <br />Highways. The DPW requires that these roadways also meet the requirements of DPW. <br />The DPW requires concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, in areas of pedestrian traffic. <br />The site is serviced by County water and wastewater systems. Electrical, <br />telephone and cable services are available to the site. Police are located within 3 miles, <br />and fire facilities are located within 5 miles. Kona Hospital is about 7 miles from the <br />property. <br />The Civil Defense Agency has stated that the proposed site is beyond the <br />acceptable range of the nearest Emergency Warning Siren, and recommends that the <br />developer purchase and install an approved Emergency Outdoor Warning Siren. <br />
