The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Urban district. Surrounding properties are similarly zoned A -3a and includes a mix of single - family dwellings, agriculture uses, or vacant land. For the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the County, the Zoning Code regulates and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other structures, the percentage of a building site that may be occupied, off - street parking, setbacks, size of yards, courts, and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. In considering the purposes of the Zoning Code in relation to the proposed request, the approval of the request will result in an additional lot but will not result in an overall unit density within the property. Based on the above information, the proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience, and the general welfare of the County. The proposed request will not burden public agencies to provide utilities and services to the subject property. Access to the property is from Lama Street, which is a County road with a 20 -foot wide pavement within a 50 -foot wide right -of -way. The Department of Public Works recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the subject property's entire Lama Street frontage consisting of, but not limited to, a paved shoulder and a paved swale conforming to the Department of Public Work's standard detail R -34. A condition of approval will be added in response of DPW's recommendation. County water can be made available to the property via an existing 6 -inch waterline at Awa Street for the proposed lot. As there is no municipal sewer system in the area, wastewater will be disposed of into individual wastewater systems meeting the standards and requirements of the State Department of Health. Solid waste will be disposed of by commercial haulers or individual homeowners into an approved landfill. All essential utilities are available to the site. Police, fire and emergency facilities are located in Hilo.
