Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 sidewalks fronting the subject parcel. This project is scheduled to be advertised for bids within the next few months. The applicant would be required to comply and meet with all applicable requirements of the Department of Transportation -Highways Division, including construction of driveway access and the construction of all sidewalk areas affected by the driveway access. In addition, the applicant shall comply with all applicable Department of Public Works requirements, including wastewater disposal, solid waste management, and subdivide and dedicate to the County of Hawaii the 5-foot future road widening section fronting the subject property along Hualani Street. The Department of Water Supply stated that water would be available from an existing 12-inch waterline along Kanoelehua Avenue and an existing 6-inch waterline along Hualani Street fronting the subject property. As a result of new roadway improvements, it is not anticipated that the proposed new businesses will create a significant increase in traffic in the area. All other utilities and services are available to the subject property. The project has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be property rectified or which would render the land unusable. The subject property is relatively level. According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), it is within Zone X, an area determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. The subject property is also located outside of any tsunami inundation area. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The subject property has been developed and therefore, no endangered or threatened species of floral or fauna nor any archaeological sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property. Finally, there are existing single family residences adjacent to the subject area. To mitigate any potential noise and visual impacts, it is recommended that a landscaping buffer, to be determined during plan approval review, be established along the side property boundaries. Based on the above findings, [his request for a Change of Zone from a Single Family Residential (RS-10) to a Light Industrial (ML-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further the convenience, necessity and general welfare of the public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33, the City of Hilo Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
