mitigated by proper adherence to mitigation measures imposed during permits for grading <br /> and construction. The applicant proposes to develop and implement a dust control <br /> management plan. <br /> 19. Coastal Hazards: The property is located mauka of Alii Drive, is not an oceanfront <br /> parcel, and will not affect or be affected by shoreline processes. <br /> <br /> 20. Visual Resources: The existing coastal views of some private properties mauka of the <br /> property may be affected, particularly for existing or future single-story buildings mauka <br /> of the proposed structure, with a maximum height limit of 45 feet. <br /> <br /> 21. Traffic. The proposed project would add to the cumulative traffic impact on Alii Drive. <br /> In response to concerns about providing a roadway that would connect Alii Drive and <br /> Kuakini Highway, the design for the project includes a road reserve along the southern <br /> portion of the property that will be dedicated to the County for use as a road at a future <br /> date. Construction of the road will depend upon, among other actions, acquisition of <br /> similar road reserves from other landowners. <br /> A Traffic Impact Analysis Repo°t for the Ke Kai Alii Condominium on Alii Drive <br /> dated November ] 0, 2003 (Appendix 5 of the application) concluded that "the increases <br /> in ambient traffic due to new development projects in Kailua-Kona are forecast to have <br /> an adverse impact on the Alii Drive/Hualalai road intersection. Mitigation in the form of <br /> widening the northbound approach of Alii Drive would improve traffic operations to <br /> acceptable levels. The proposed project would generate a small number of trips that add <br /> to the cumulative traffic impact but not adversely affect traffic." With or without the <br /> proposed project, the intersection of Hualalai Road and Alii Drive will not operate at an <br /> acceptable level of service. The TIAR does not address the intersection of Walua Road <br /> and Kuakini Highway which is forecasted to be deficient as a result of ambient growth in <br /> the area. <br /> According to the Department of Public Works, the Kailua Village Master Plan <br /> provides for a street connection (identified as the "Village Bypass") from Alii Drive to <br /> Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway by an extension ofNani Kailua <br /> Drive.
