Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br />and Members of the County Council <br />Page 7 <br />Access to the site is via the extension of a private road known as Meyer Camp <br />Road, an extension of Huapala Street. Meyer Camp Road has a right-of-way of <br />approximately 50 feet with a pavement width ranging between 18 and 22 feet, and was <br />used by the plantation during the sugar cane era. The applicant intends to have all lots <br />within the project serviced from this road by either a 10 -foot wide paved road or 20 -foot <br />wide graveled roads. The Department of Public Works has requested that the applicant: <br />• provide a minimum 20 -foot wide agricultural pavement within a minimum 50 - <br />foot wide right-of-way conforming to Standard Detail R-39. <br />• In addition, where grades are 8% or greater, the roadway section should be <br />paved as shown in Standard Detail R-34. <br />• All existing and proposed private roads within the subdivision shall be <br />constructed and/or improved in conformance with the Subdivision Code. <br />The Planning Director recommends a variation from the Department of Public <br />Works' standards, given that some may not be necessary for a low-density agricultural <br />use. The full standards would require a 20 -foot wide paved road, with 15 -foot paved <br />shoulders and swales on each side, for a total of 50 feet of pavement, where grades <br />exceed eight percent. Meyer Road, the primary access, has about 20 feet of pavement on <br />a heavily built sub -base. This should be adequate for a relatively low density <br />development involving only 17 lots. The other roads should be adequate with a 16 -foot <br />wide pavement, or built to "private road standards" in the subdivision code: 8 -foot wide <br />pavement if it serves only one lot, 12 feet for two lots, 14 feet for three lots, or 16 feet for <br />four to six lots. <br />The applicant has stated that only one farm dwelling would be allowed on each <br />proposed lot. Although the Planning Director supports this rezoning request to allow a <br />17 -lot subdivision with one dwelling on each lot, the potential to allow additional <br />dwellings may contribute to a cumulative burden on the existing infrastructure which <br />cannot be supported. Therefore, a condition will be included in the ordinance to prohibit <br />a second dwelling unit on each lot. In addition, a condition will be included to place <br />restrictive covenants in the deeds of all the proposed lots for the subdivision prohibiting <br />second farm dwellings to preserve the residential -agricultural ambience of the area. <br />According to the applicant, an irrigation system is in the process of being <br />developed by the applicant. The system would be made available to all lots and allow lot <br />
