Pete Hoffinann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 6 The property is located within an azea adequately served with essential services and facilities such as water, sewer, transportation systems and other utilities. There will be three accesses available to the property, which includes Kawili, Kapiolani and Ululani Streets. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to provide full improvements to the entire frontage along Kapiolani Street consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation, Similaz improvements were not required along Kawili Street because there is currently a drainage ditch that runs along the Kawili frontage of the property. The proposed development will be connected to County water and to the County's sewer system. The applicant will be required to prepaze a Solid Waste Management Plan and submit it to the Department of Environmental Management for its review and approval. All other essential utilities and services are available to the property. The property was historically used for sugar cane production. The property is currently covered with vegetation consisting of low brush, grass and trees. The property has no severe topographic or geologic problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable for the proposed use. The property is classified as Zone X, areas determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. The property is also located outside of the tsunami inundation area. The subject development is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised States, relating to Coast Zone Management Area. The property is located more than one mile from the nearest coastline. The proposed development will not adversely impact recreational resources, including access to and along the shoreline or to mountain areas, scenic and open space vistas, visual resources to the shoreline, coastal ecosystems and marine ecosystems. Finally, because the property and surrounding areas have been extensively altered with urban development, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the property, nor has the property been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. In addition, it is also not anticipated that the proposed development will have any significant adverse impact on azchaeological, cultural, or historical resources. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Open (O) to a Multiple Family Residential (RM-1) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and welfare of the general public.
