McClure, P.E., Director r.~ <br /> Department of Public Works ~ <br /> SUBJECT: BILL 51 -BILL TO AMEND CHAPTER 27, RELATING TO FLOOD <br /> CONTROL OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE <br /> At our February 23'~ meeting you had indicated that the present requirement to have developer's <br /> dispose of the development generated runoff based on a 1-hour, 10-year storm is not working. <br /> Be advised that the Planning Department began to impose this requirement, on our <br /> recommendation, sometime between 1980-85 and was applied to certain subdivisions and <br /> developments. It has since become a standazd Public Works recommendation. The examples <br /> you had cited did not have or pre-date the requirement, so they do not reflect the effectiveness of <br /> the 10-year storm standard. <br /> If you can cite other examples of more recent (post 1983) subdivisions and developments, we <br /> will be happy to investigate. For your information, the Cook's Landing Subdivision did not have <br /> this requirement though it did become an issue during the dedication process; and Tom Pace's <br /> golf course was an approved land use when it was initiated, consequently our Planning <br /> Department made no drainage improvement requirements for the golf course. <br /> <br /> irb: Pete Hoffman <br /> K.
