r Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 11 road along the eastern side of the subject property. In addition, the entire frontage along Mamalahoa Highway should be improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement widening to four lanes, and any necessary transitions and striping, drainage improvements and relocation of utilities in conformance with the proposed Mamalahoa Highway Improvements. The Department of Public Works also stated that a left turn pocket or a double-left turn median may be required. These improvements shall be included as a condition of approval of the change of zone request. The subject property is located within an area adequately served with essential services and facilities such as water and other utilities. Water is available to the property through an existing 12 inch waterline fronting the property. According to the Department of Health, the property is situated within the Critical Wastewater Disposal Area; and therefore, the applicant would be required to dispose wastewater into septic tank system. Finally, because the subject 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 subject property, nor has the area been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. In addition, it is also not anticipated that the proposed development will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources. The property is designated Zone X, an area determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. The Department of Public Works, Engineering Division has determined that the Waikoloa Stream tributary flows along the northern boundary of the parcel. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Agricultural-Sa to Neighborhood Commercial (CN-7.5) and Residential -Agricultural (RA-.Sa) zoned districts would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and welfare of the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-25 for the County of Hawaii, and Section 25-8-11, the Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
