J Yoshimoto, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 10 All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the property is from Kahakai Boulevard, a collector road with an existing right-of-way width of approximately 50 feet fronting the subject property. The Department of Public Works (DPW) recommends the applicant provide improvements to the property's entire Kahakai Boulevard frontage consisting of,but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation, meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the approval of the DPW. Access to the property is from Kahakai Boulevard. The applicant has agreed to this requirement; however, requests that since the proposed use will be contained within an existing structure, the required improvements be installed when and if a new structure is constructed on the site. Given the limited nature of the proposed use, we can understand the burden of providing these improvements. However, the requested change of zone, if approved, will accommodate a range of commercial uses that must be supported by adequate public facilities. In select circumstances, especially when considering the small scope of the proposed use, it is reasonable to defer the installation of these roadside improvements to allow the applicant to accommodate the financial burden. As such,the Planning Director supports its deferral for a period of five (5) years from the effective date of this change of zone, should it be approved, at which time all roadside improvements shall be provided. As commercial districts require a right-of-way width of 60 feet, a condition of approval will be added to provide a 5-foot wide road widening strip along the property's Kahakai Boulevard frontage. This condition is recommended in line with the various roadway improvements required as part of a recent commercial rezoning that will improve the Kahakai Boulevard extension to a commercial roadway standard by widening and improving a 50-ft foot wide State-owned reserve lot to a commercial standard 60-foot right-of-way with curb, gutter and sidewalks. For that particular change of zone to a CV- zoned district, five feet of additional right-of-way was required from the property's frontage along the Kahakai Boulevard Extension. Thus, for this request, conditions of approval will follow the recommendations of the Department of Public Works and the progression of improvements along Kahakai Boulevard and its extension into a commercial standard roadway system. County water is available from an existing 8-inch and 12-inch waterline within Kahakai Boulevard fronting the property. Currently, a 5/8-inch meter limited to 400 gallons per minute serves the property. The Department of Water Supply requires the applicant to submit an estimated maximum daily water usage calculation for the proposed use to ensure water availability, for which a condition of approval will be included in this recommendation.
