Section 25-4-20. Height; general rules. a) No building or structure hereafter erected shall exceed the established zoning district height limit, except as hereinafter permitted or otherwise regulated. Section 25-5-33. Height limit. a) In areas in the County outside of the City of Hilo, the height limit in the RM district shall be forty-five feet. We are requesting that the height limit be raised from 45' to 60' for the four-story assisted living building. The increase will allow for a more architecturally appealing building from the outside and inside. The assisted living building is on the lower part of the property. The slope of the property and position the building are such that this increase in height limit will not block views of adjoining properties. 5. Ordinance 06-78 Article H: We are requesting exemption from provisions of Article H specifying access to the project from the to-be-built Kahului to Keauhou Parkway. Instead we are proposing to install and maintain access to the project as per the site plan submitted by WestSound Engineering (See attachment) and as per the recommendations included in the traffic study submitted by WestSound Engineering. The improvements as detailed will include a dedicated left turn storage lane and necessary drainage improvements as per the WestSound Engineering Drawings. We wish to be exempted from further construction of access to the Parkway following its completion. Instead we are going to rely on the access from Kuakini Hwy as detailed the WestSound Engineering Documents Submitted. We are requesting this change because Article H stipulates access from a road that does not yet exist and for which there is not yet a timeline. 6. Ordinance 06-78 Article W: Article W requires the project to be responsible for payment of any cost associated with noise abatement measures that may be required in the future for the Kahului to Keauhou Parkway. We are asking for exemption from this article because it is an unsustainable additional cost to the senior's affordable living project. We will release the county from any responsibility for noise abatement upon the construction of the Highway. 7. Ordinance 06-78 Article Y: The total number of affordable units is 147. The ordinance calls for each unit to be assessed a charge of$9,991.00 as an impact fee. This would be a total charge to the project of$1,468.677. The ordinance also states that the project is to be given credit for the value of any
