2) Availability of water: Water is available from a 6-inch line along Keliaaulani Street. 3) Sewage disposal: The existing single family dwelling utilizes a cesspool for sewage disposal. The new dwelling will utilize a septic system approved by the State Department of Health. 4) Solid waste: There is no municipal collection system for solid waste in the County of Hawaii. All waste generated by the proposed project will be disposed at appropriate sites designated by the Department of Environmental Management. 5) Police and fire protection: The police station is situated approximately 2.5 miles away and the closest County fire station is situated approximately 0.5 mile southwest of the project site on Kawailani Street. 6) Schools: The project area is served by Waiakea Complex including Waiakeawaena Elementary School, Waiakea Intermediate School and Waiakea High School which are all within a mile of the subject property. The enrollment level at all three schools are currently below their operating capacity. 7) Parks: Lokahi Park, Ahualani Park, Waiakeawaena Elementary School, Waiakea Intermediate School and Waiakea High School are within a mile of the subject property. 8) Other utilities and services (telephone/electricity): The subject property is served by electrical, telephone and cable TV lines from Kehaulani Street. E) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS 1) Relationship between local short term uses of environment and maintenance and enhancement of long term productivity: The project area has been committed to single family residential use for over 55 years. Approval of the subject change of zone application will allow the continuation of the single family residential use with a more efficient utilization of the land available. 2) Mitigative measures proposed to avoid, minimize, rectify or reduce impact: Impacts resulting from the proposed change of zone are expected to be minimal. Any potential impacts can be mitigated by complying with all applicable code requirements. 3) Alternatives to the proposed development: In the event that the change of zone application is denied, the RS-15 zoning will remain in place and the owners could apply for an Ohana Permit to allow a second dwelling on the subject property. 4) Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of natural resources that would be involved if the proposed action is implemented: The subject property has been utilized for single family residential use for over 55 years. The proposed change of zone will utilize a portion of the existing lawn and landscaping for one additional parcel.
