way with 2 foot minimum gravel/grass shoulders for a length of 30 feet plus 2:1 <br /> transitions, meeting with the approval of DPW. The improvement may include a <br /> driveway approach. <br /> 19. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply,the subject property is currently <br /> served with two 5/8-inch meters with substandard water pressure conditions, i.e., less that <br /> than the minimum pressure of 40 pounds per square inch(psi)required for subdivisions. <br /> In other words, the existing private water system servicing the property does not meet <br /> water system standards for subdivisions in accordance with the Hawai`i County Code and <br /> Rules and Regulations of the Department of Water Supply. Upgrading the system will <br /> require extensive water system improvements, including,but not limited to, storage <br /> reservoirs,booster pumps, and distribution pipelines. The Department does not foresee <br /> any upgrades to its existing water system facilities that would possibly provide the <br /> property with adequate pressure and volume meeting subdivision water system standards. <br /> In view of the above, the Department of Water Supply is not in a position to support the <br /> proposed rezoning and subsequent subdivision. The Fire Department also commented <br /> stating that they have concerns that the application description does not match the actual <br /> site. Multiple undocumented buildings are present on site. At this time, for the Fire <br /> Department's approval,they would require that any changes in zoning, subdivision, or <br /> otherwise,meet with the Hawai`i County Fire Code minimum requirements in Access <br /> and Water. Of primary importance would be the installation of a fire hydrant as none is <br /> currently present. <br /> 20. Wastewater: As there is no municipal sewer system in the area, wastewater will be <br /> disposed of by individual wastewater systems meeting the requirements of the <br /> Department of Health. <br /> 21. Essential Utilities and Services: All essential utilities are available to the property. <br /> AGENCY COMMENTS <br /> 22.
