PC- 155 Page 2 October 20, 1998 development. The applicant intends to install a drainage system that meets with the approval of the Department of Public Works. According to the applicant, the property is currently serviced by a cesspool system, but if a different system is required, the applicant intends to comply with the respective State or County agency. The subject property is located within Zone "X", which is outside the 500-year flood plain. The Department of Public Works will not allow vehicular access onto Pahoa Road, which has an approximate 22-foot wide pavement in good condition. Kahakai Boulevard, also fronting the subject property, has an approximate 18-foot wide pavement in fair condition with approximate 6-foot wide grass shoulders, all within an approximate 50-foot right-of--way. The Department of Public Works recommends that the applicant provide full improvements to the entire frontage along both Pahoa Road and Kahakai Boulevard consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, with drainage provisions, meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works. The applicant shall construct improvements along the future road widening area with the area subdivided and dedicated to the County. The Department of Public Works also notes that the minimum standard for a commercial zoned right-of-way width is 60 feet. Testimony from Anthony Almada, President of the Mainstreet Yahoa Association, expressed the Board's support of this zoning request, but suggested "that requirements for urban style curbs, gutters and sidewalks should be waived in this instance." They feel that "the rustic flavor of the "area would not be enhanced by such infrastructure built fora 60' right-of-way on the approaches to the historic small village commercial district whore 30' right-of-way prevails." Your Committee agreed with this suggestion and recommended that language to this effect be incorporated into Bill No. 313. Draft 2, and be submitted to the Council for its first reading. Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director for recommending a favorable consideration for the change of zone request which will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Commercial Elements of the Genera] Plan. Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bil] No. 313, as discussed, and recommends it pass first reading.
