<br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> <br /> Page 7 <br /> lo[. This roadway will be open to public traffic. All other essential utilities and <br /> services can or will be made available to the subject development. Conditions of <br /> approval are being included to ensure the provision of all essential utilities. <br /> The development of the property will add to the inventory of existing residential <br /> zoned lands in the West Hawaii region. The proposed development is located within <br /> close proximity to all necessary urban services and facilities, and will serve to complete <br /> the urban core for that area of Kailua-Kona. The applicant will also complete its <br /> proposed project in compliance with all of the codes and standards referenced above. <br /> Therefore, the proposed rezoning and development will complement the land usage <br /> within the community and neighborhood it is proposed to be located in. <br /> Access to the property would be via subdivision roadways from the adjacent <br /> proposed Keauhou View Estates Subdivision. Conditions of approval require a new <br /> access, other than by way of Alii Drive be provided prior to final subdivision approval <br /> of any lot. This roadway will be open to public traffic. Water for the proposed project <br /> will be provided by the County of Hawaii from a 12-inch waterline along Kuakini <br /> Highway. Water commitments for the 30-lot subdivision are available. The proposed <br /> project abides by the above-stated County policy encouraging "[he clustering of <br /> developments in order to reduce the cost of providing utilities." The wastewater from <br /> the project will be disposed of by the prevailing requirements of the State Department <br /> of Health's rules and regulations to be installed by the respective homeowners. <br /> Additionally, the applicant will abide by all applicable State and County air quality and <br /> noise level control standards during the pre-construction and construction phases of the <br /> project. Therefore, proposed single family residential development will be developed <br /> in an area that is or can be adequately served by water, utilities, sewers and <br /> transportation systems. <br /> The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that the property is located in <br /> Zone "X", area outside of the 500-year flood plain. There are no significant <br /> drainageways anticipated. While there are no indications of surface water flow on-site, <br /> the applicant will abide by all applicable County guidelines for run-off generated by the <br /> development. <br /> There were some sites of archaeological significance, however, none were <br /> recommended for physical preservation, with the exception of the Great Wall of <br /> Kuakini. The Great Wall of Kuakini has been recommended for inclusion into the <br /> National Register of Historic Places. As such, subject to certain mitigative measures, <br /> the subject site should not have any significant archaeological impacts. <br /> <br />
