1',4r. Brian Sakamoto <br /> Page 2 <br /> Apri12, 2007 <br /> As regards the Plan Approval submission, we have the following to offer: <br /> 1. This property has side and rear yards adjacent to Residential zoning. As such, Section 25-5- <br /> 126(2) states "Side yards, none, except where the adjoining building site is in an RS, RD, <br /> RM or RCX district. Where the side yard adjoins the side yard of a building site in an RS, <br /> RD, RM or RCX district, there shall be a side yard which conforms to the side yard <br /> requirements for dwelling use of the adjoining district." In addition, Section 25-5-127(b) <br /> states "Where required side or rear yard in the CG district adjoins a building site in an RS, <br /> RD, RM or RCX district, the side or reaz yazd shall be landscaped with a screening hedge <br /> not less than forty-two inches in height, within five feet of the property line, except for <br /> necessary drives and walkways." The required side and rear yazd buffer landscaping will <br /> have an impact on the minimum back-up aisles of the parking spaces (25-4-53(c)). (emphasis <br /> added) <br /> 2. Planning Department Rule 17 contains the regulations for building site landscaping in the <br /> County of Hawaii. Rule sections 17-6(b)(2)(B) and 17-6(c) aze particularly applicable to this <br /> proposed development, although other sections apply as well. <br /> 3. Section 25-4-55 states, in part, "One in every eight accessible spaces, but not less than one, <br /> shall be designated `van-accessible."' In other words if only one accessible space is required, <br /> it must Bevan-accessible having a space width of 9'-0" and an access aisle width of 8'-0". <br /> (emphasis added) <br /> 4. A maximum of 33% of the parking spaces are allowed to be compact spaces. <br /> 5. A current Real Property Tax Clearance Certification shall accompany the application. <br /> Should you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact Jonathan Holmes or Daryn Arai <br /> of this Department. <br /> Sincerely, 7 <br /> CHRISTOPHER J~~~ <br /> Planning Director <br /> JRH: cd <br /> o:\plan approvals\2\2202I007returnsakamotoletter.doc <br /> Encl PLA Submittals <br /> <br /> xc Planning Commission Section (REZ 746) <br /> <br />
