Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 D. TMK: 2-2-21:10, RS-10 to CG-20, Ordinance No. 92 124 (REZ 729) effective 11/20/92 to Diane Lee. All utilities and services are or will be made available to the project site which are essential to accommodate urban development. The applicant proposes access to the property from Mohouli Street, a County road with an approximate 44-foot wide pavement in good condition, with concrete curbs and sidewalks with planter areas (in poor condition), all within an approximate 60-foot right-of-way. However, the Department of Public Works recommends no vehicular access onto Mohouli Street, due to the proposed location of the driveway, approximately 20 feet from the Mohouli and Lei Street intersection. In addition, the portion of Mohouli Street fronting the subject property is often congested with cars as school children are dropped off and picked up at the curb, and there is very limited on-street parking, as school traffic heavily uses these parking areas. The Department of Public Works recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the frontage along Mohouli Street and Lei Street consisting of, but not limited to, a reconstructed concrete curb and full width sidewalk. A condition will be included to provide sidewalk improvements. Although the applicant proposes access from Mohouli Street, the principal access to the proposed development would be allowed only from Lei Street, which also fronts the subject property. Lei Street is a County road with an approximate 21-foot wide pavement in good condition, with concrete curbs and sidewalks, with a planter area, all within an approximate 30-foot right-of-way. In addition, the applicant shall comply with all applicable Department of Public Works requirements, including wastewater disposal and solid waste management. The Department of Water Supply stated that water would be available from an existing 10-inch waterline along Kilauea Avenue approximately 600 feet from the subject property. All other utilities and services are available to the subject property. The project has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The subject property is relatively level. According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), it is within Zone X, an area determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. The subject property is also located outside of any tsunami inundation area. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The subject property has been previously developed with a residence and therefore, no endangered or threatened species of floral or fauna nor any archaeological sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property. The proposed development will traverse the two legal lots and, therefore, a condition will be included requiring the consolidation of the lots.
