J Yoshimoto, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 11 There is no County sewer system in Pahoa; therefore, individual wastewater system(s)meeting Department of Health requirements will need to be installed for any future development. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. All solid waste generated by the development will require private disposal at the Pahoa Transfer Station or Hilo landfill. The project has no severe geological or topographical problem which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is situated in Flood Zone"X", an area determined by FEMA to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. Electric and telephone services are available to the property. Police, Fire and medical services are available in Pahoa. This favorable recommendation is also made with the understanding that the applicant remain responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with uses permitted within the Village Commercial zoning district, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act(ADA), among many others. The subject property is located outside of the preliminary boundary of the Pahoa Regional Town Center but within the proposed Pahoa Regional Town Center Master Plan planning area and Pahoa Village District. At this time,the Pahoa Village Design Guidelines are also proposed for adoption by resolution. As such, a condition of approval will be included to require any new construction, exterior renovation of existing structures, and signage conform to any design guidelines for the area. Failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Finally, no objections were received from the public as of this writing. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Agricultural (A-la) to the Village Commercial (CV-20)zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public convenience, necessity and general welfare. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to the SLU Boundaries Maps and Section 25-8-26 (Pahoa Zone Map) of Chapter 25 Zoning Code of the Hawai`i County Code are transmitted.
