COUNTY OF HAWAII STATE OF HAWAII RESOLUTION NO. 109 09 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXTENSION OF THE PUBLIC SEWER FROM PARCEL 2-4-001:005 TO THE INTERSECTION OF KILAUEAXAWILI STREET FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO, HAWAII. WHEREAS, applicant State of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Hilo, has requested to extend the sewer in accordance with section 21-26, Hawaii County Code, to service parcel 2-4- 001:005 only and no additional properties will currently be made accessible by this extension; and WHEREAS, the proposed sewer extension is actually a parallel sewer line on Kawili Street that will handle all wastewater generated from future construction on parcel 2-4-001:005 (the future China -U.S. Center). A typical sewer lateral connection to parcel 2-4-001:005 is not feasible due to inadequate sewer capacity on Kawili Street's existing Public Sewer. Therefore, a proposed parallel sewer extension on Kawili Street is required to handle the future wastewater generated from parcel 2-4-001:005; and WHEREAS, applicant State of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Hilo, will bear the total cost of the construction and in the future, will be eligible to exercise conditions under section 21- 28(a), Hawaii County Code, pertaining to receipt for 10 years after completion of the extension one-half of all moneys for sewer charges collected by the County from other properties, if any, connecting to the extension provided the total of such reimbursement shall not exceed the cost incurred by the applicant to construct the extension. Plans to reimburse the applicant for construction of the sewer extension shall require the approval of the County Council by resolution; and WHEREAS, pursuant to section 21-26.1(b), Hawaii County Code, the Director of the Department of Environmental Management has approved the application and recommends the approval of the Council; and Attachment "A" is the application with construction plans as supporting documentation; and WHEREAS, sewer extensions are beneficial to the community by eliminating the need of alternative waste treatment options and reducing the amount of pollutants reaching the groundwater and the coastal waters, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment; and WHEREAS, section 21-26.1(a), Hawaii County Code, requires that the council approve all sewer extensions; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the sewer extension to Kilauea/Kawili Street Intersection for the State of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Hilo, is hereby approved.
