Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the spatial relationships among various land uses and the expressed policy statements of the document itself. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic land use pattern for areas within the County. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time or stage certain developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole island. The subject property is designated as Low Density Urban Development which allows for single family residential in character, ancillary community and public uses and convenience type commercial uses. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted by Resolution in 1975, is intended to provide short and middle range implementation strategies for the goals, policies and land use pattern presented in the General Plan. The Hilo CDP recommended that portion of the Waiakea Houselots be retained in single family residential uses. The subject area is located in close proximity to schools, commercial areas, employment centers and public safety services. It is presently occupied by the existing dwelling and attached structure, which have been in existence on the subject area since the 1960's. The existing dwelling and attached structure are planned to be refurbished and incorporated as part of the proposed development. The subject area would provide additional convenience commercial services for the residents in the immediate vicinity as well as for the rest of the residents and visitors of the island of Hawaii. The project site is located within an area adequately served with essential services and facilities such as water, sewer, transportation systems and other utilities. Water is available to the subject property from an existing 8 -inch waterline along Kalanikoa Street or an existing 6 -inch waterline along Kekuanaoa Avenue. There is an existing 10 -inch diameter collector sewer line along Kekuanaoa Avenue. The Department of Public Works anticipates construction of sewer lines, including service laterals along Kalanikoa Street in 1997-1998. As a condition of approval, the applicants would be required to connect to the sewer line, meeting the approval of the Department of Public Works. The applicants will also be required to prepare a Solid Waste Management Plan and submit it to the Department of Public Works for its review and approval.
