The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The property is a vacant, approximately 9,678 square foot parcel located on Manono Street. The parcel was fonnerly used as a single - family residence, but the dwelling has since been demolished. The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. The Atebara Potato Chip Factory is located adjacent to the property to the north. Immediately adjacent properties to the east and south are zoned RS -10. However, there are several parcels zoned Neighborhood Commercial to the north of the property on both sides of Manono Street, including churches, commercial uses and offices. Rezonings in the area from RS -10 to Neighborhood Commercial include: • TMK: 2 -2 -34: 85 and 93 (Ordinance No. 00 031) • TMK: 2 -2 -34: 12 (Ordinance No. 06 107) • TMK: 2 -2 -34: 13 (Ordinance No. 06 124) • TMK: 2 -2 -34: 84 (Ordinance No. 08 006) • TMK: 2 -2 -36: 25 and 26 (Ordinance No. 08 20) TMK: 2 -2 -34: 88 (Ordinance No. 09 45). All utilities and services are available to the site. The project will connect to the existing County sewer system. Solid waste will be disposed of by commercial handlers. Access to the project site is proposed from Manono Street, a secondary arterial with a right -of -way of 50 feet with graveled shoulders. The City of Hilo Zone Map designates Manono Street as a 60 -foot right-of-way. The Department of Public Works (DPW) states that Manono Street is a secondary arterial with an existing right -of -way width of 60 feet fronting the property. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone "X ", area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development generated storm run -off shall be disposed of on -site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or roadways. No professional surveys were conducted of the site due to the history of extensive disturbance. By letter dated March 9, 2010, the Department of Land and Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division (DLNR -HPD) has determined that no historic properties will be affected by this project because development /urbanization and previous grubbing/grading has altered the land. The inspection of the property by SHPD confirmed that no historic properties were present. No professional flora or fauna surveys were conducted of the site. The applicants do not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are on the site as the property has been improved and is located within an urban environment close to existing commercial uses.
