Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 8 <br /> shoulders on both sides of the road. This Old Mamalahoa Highway is able to <br /> accommodate the proposed subdivision. The Mamalahoa Highway-Kaloko Drive <br /> intersection is approximately 200 feet west is of a subject property, and is a "T" <br /> configuration without channelization improvements. The analysis of traffic along <br /> Kaloko Drive and at its intersection with the Mamalahoa Highway found that there are <br /> no appreciable delays at this intersection during the AM and PM peak traffic hours. <br /> The Department of Transportation and Public Works have expressed the need for <br /> improvements to the Mamalahoa Highway-Kaloko Drive intersection and the Old <br /> Mamalahoa Highway. The need for such improvements is essential since similar <br /> changes of zone may occur throughout the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision and the creation <br /> of additional homesites placing additional traffic burdens on the intersection. <br /> Water for the proposed subdivision development will be provided by the existing <br /> 6-inch line. Wastewater generated by the proposed development will be disposed of <br /> utilizing an individual wastewater disposal system for each lot meeting the requirements <br /> of the Department of Health. <br /> All other essential utilities and services are or will be made available to support <br /> the proposed development. <br /> There has been no archaeological study conducted. According to the application, <br /> other reports in this area did not suggest a high likelihood of the presence of <br /> archaeological features on this site. It is recommended that an archaeological study of <br /> the subject property be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Director, in <br /> consultation with the Department of Land and Natural Resources-Historic Preservation <br /> Division (DLNR-HPD), prior to the submittal of plans for subdivision review. Should <br /> significant historical sites be located within the subject property, an archaeological <br /> preservation mitigation plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning <br /> Director, in consultation with the DLNR-HPD, prior to the issuance of Final <br /> Subdivision Approval or any land alteration activities. <br /> Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from <br /> Agricultural-3 acres (A-3a) to Residential -Agricultural-1 acre (RA-la) zoned district <br /> would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and <br /> convenience and the general welfare. <br /> <br /> For your favorable consideration, an amendment to the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-7 <br /> <br /> for the County of Hawaii, and Section 25-87, the North Kona Zone Map, of the County <br /> <br /> Zoning Code are transmitted. <br /> <br />
