Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Water for the existing building is presently served by an existing 12-inch waterline fronting the subject property. Wastewater generated by the proposed development will be disposed of utilizing an individual wastewater disposal system for each lot meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. All other essential utilities and services are or will be made available to support the proposed development. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that the property is located in Zone X, area determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. There are no significant drainageways anticipated. While there are no indications of surface water flow on-site, the applicant will abide by all applicable County guidelines for run-off generated by the development. Any improvements to the property must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. Archaeological sites are not anticipated to be located within the subject property due to former and current agricultural activities and homesite improvements. The Department of Land and Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-HPD) has indicated that the proposed subdivision development will have "no effect" on historic sites. Should historical sites be located within the subject property, the applicant will be required to immediately notify the DLNR-HPD. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Agricultural-40 acres (A-40a) to Agricultural-5 acres (A-5a) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the benefit of the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-11, the Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
