The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 All essential utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the property is from Kilauea Avenue, which is a four -lane County roadway with a pavement width of approximately 44 feet within a 60 -foot wide right -of -way. The General Plan identifies Kilauea Avenue as a secondary arterial street requiring a right -of -way width of 80 feet. Therefore, a ten -foot wide future road widening strip along the property's Kilauea Avenue frontage would be needed to eventually widen the road to 80 feet. There is an existing concrete curb and sidewalk fronting the subject property which the Department of Public Works recommends be reconstructed to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Therefore, conditions of approval for the change of zone will address these recommendations. Traffic will not increase significantly at the site based on the applicant's initial plans to develop an approximately 4,200- square foot dental office building, which will generate approximately 16 a.m. peak hour trips and 19 p.m. peak hour trips according to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 71h Edition. However, to be consistent with the concurrency requirements of the Zoning Code, the Planning Department recommends a condition of approval be included to require submittal of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) if a land use is developed that would generate over 50 peak hour trips, and that the applicant be responsible for constructing any improvements identified in the TIAR required by the Department of Public Works. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable, and is located in flood zone "X" which is an area determined by FEMA to be outside the 500 -year flood plain. County water is available from an existing 10 -inch waterline within Kilauea Avenue fronting the property. The property is currently served by a 5/8 -inch meter which is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. The applicant will submit water usage calculations to the Department of Water Supply in order to determine whether the existing water meter will be adequate to provide water to the proposed development, or if a larger or additional water meter is needed. The 10 -inch waterline fronting the property is also capable of providing the required pressure of 2,000 gallons per minute of water flow for fire protection for commercial land uses. A cesspool on the property services the existing dwelling. Wastewater generated by the proposed development will be disposed of by individual wastewater system(s) meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. Therefore, all solid waste generated by development of the property will require private disposal at the Hilo landfill.
