<br /> <br /> Y <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 10 <br /> <br /> <br /> Access to the subject property is provided by Kanehoa Street, a two-lane private <br /> roadway, which has an agricultural standard pavement width of 20 feet within a 50 feet <br /> right-of-way. Kanehoa Subdivision has two accesses from Kawaihae Road, one access <br /> point ('Ouli Street) serves 16 lots and the other access (Kanehoa Street) serves the <br /> remaining 10 lots. Kanehoa Street also connects into Anekona Estates Subdivision <br /> which has one access point (Anekona Street) from Kawaihae Road. The Department of <br /> Transportation has indicated that roadway improvements to Kawaihae Road is essential <br /> since similar changes of zone may occur throughout the Kanehoa Subdivision and the <br /> creation of additional homesites placing additional traffic burdens on the roadway. <br /> Conditions of approval have been included to ensure that the requested improvements <br /> be planned for either through the ISTEA program or through the Fair Share <br /> contribution towards roads. <br /> <br /> Water for the proposed subdivision development will be provided by the <br /> existing 6-inch line. According to the Department of Health, the property is situated <br /> within the Critical Wastewater Disposal Area and therefore, the applicant would be <br /> required to dispose wastewater into septic tank system. All other essential utilities and <br /> services are or will be made available to support the proposed development. <br /> <br /> Finally, because the subject property and surrounding areas have been <br /> extensively altered with agricultural/urban development, it is not anticipated that <br /> endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the <br /> subject property, nor has the area been identified as a significant botanical or biological <br /> habitat. In addition, it is also not anticipated that the proposed development will have <br /> any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources. The property is designated <br /> Zone X, an area determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. <br /> <br /> Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from <br /> Agricultural-5 acres (A-5a) to Residential\Agricultural-2 acres (RA-2a) zoned district <br /> would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and <br /> convenience and the general welfare. <br /> <br /> For your favorable consideration, amendments to the SLU Boundaries Map, H-25 for the <br /> County of Hawaii, and Section 25-8-7, the North and South Kohala Districts Zone Map, of the <br /> County Zoning Code are transmitted. <br />
