The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 All essential utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the property is from Kukuau Street and Kapi'olani Street, which are County owned roadways with right-of way widths of1S to 20 feet and 40 feet, respectively. The City ofHilo Zone Map, which identifies future road right-of-way needs in Hilo, designates Kapi 'olani Street as a 60-foot wide right-of-way; therefore, a condition of approval will require the applicant provide a 10-foot wide future road widening strip along the parcelS3 frontage to the County prior to final subdivision approval. To preserve the functional classification of Kapi'olani Street as a secondary arterial, the Department of Public Works recommends that the access at Kapi'olani Street be limited to right-turn in and right-turn out movements only. Limiting access at this driveway may also reduce traffic conflicts for emergency vehicles between the project's Kapi'olani Street access and the Public Safety Complex driveway. According to the Department of Water Supply, water can be made available to the property via an existing 8-inch waterline within Kapi'olani Street fronting Parcel 53 and from an existing 6-inch waterline within Kukuau Street fronting Parcel 80 for the proposed 1 OO-unit multi-family development. A County sewer line is located along Kukuau Street fronting parcel 80. A condition of approval will require the applicant to connect to the existing County sewer line prior to the issuance of a Celiificate of Occupancy. Solid waste will be disposed of by commercial haulers or individual homeowners into an approved landfill. On-site recycling bins for aluminum, glass, plastic and paper will be provided to residents by the applicant. Telephone services are available to the property. According to HELCO, off-site electrical distribution systems will need to be upgraded and on-site distribution systems will need to be installed by the applicant in order to provide electrical services to the project. Police services are located adjacent to the properties, across Kapi'olani Street. Fire services are located in downtown Hilo. Medical services are available at Hilo Medical Center. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawai'i Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management Area. The subject property is located over a 12 mile from the shoreline and is not in the Special Management Area. Thus, the property will not be affected by coastal hazards and beach erosion. There are no identified recreational resources, public access to the shoreline or mountain areas, scenic and open space preserves, coastal ecosystems, marine resources or other natural and environmental resources on the subject property.
