Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 to remove a significant amount of traffic from Kaumana Drive, and finally, Subdivision 7201 (approved on January 5, 2000) which created the subject lot,permitted a vehicular access to the subject parcel from Kaumana Drive close to the location of the proposed access on the applicant's conceptual subdivision plan. It is unknown if this is the best location for an access from Kaumana Drive, so a condition of approval will allow a single subdivision access point onto Kaumana Drive and to conduct a site distance analysis to determine, in conjunction with DPW, the best location for that access. According to the applicant, an 800-foot stretch of Kaumana Drive is actually located on the subject property. The applicants entered into an indemnification agreement with the County of Hawai`i in 1999 over its continued use by the county without compensation until such time that roadway is resurfaced and the encroachment can be corrected (see Exhibit A in the Change of Zone Application). The applicants have stated that they are willing to relinquish this portion of their property in exchange for a credit against any"Road and Traffic"Fair Share requirement that would be assessed by the County. Typically the County Council requires that applicants provide a fair share contribution to mitigate the potential regional impacts of their development on public facilities and services such as roads and parks. For Family Agricultural (FA) zoning, the County Council has historically required this contribution for lot sizes of one acre or less. Therefore, a fair share contribution would not be required for the newly proposed lots as the applicant is requesting FA-3a zoning. In order to resolve the existing Kaumana Drive encroachment issue, a condition of approval will require the applicant to create a road lot to resolve the encroachment during the course of subdividing the property, to then be dedicated to the County of Hawai`i at no cost. According to the Department of Water Supply, the subject property is served by an existing 5/8"meter. Four(4) additional units of county water can be made available for the proposed subdivision from existing 8-inch waterlines within Country Club Drive Road and Kaumana Drive fronting the subject property, provided the applicants comply with servicing requirements and construct necessary water system improvements as determined by the Depaitnient of Water Supply. A condition of approval will require the applicants to install water mains (8"minimum diameter of mains from Country Club Drive) shall be capable of delivering water at adequate pressure and volume under peak flow and fire-flow conditions and installation of a service lateral to accommodate a 5/8- inch meter for the additional lots.
