If approved, the site would be subdivided pursuant to the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. Further, all uses and standards consistent with the requested FA-la zone would be adhered to. D. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES 28. Description of access: (paved or unpaved, private or county, right-of-way and pavement width. If private road, submit evidence of legal access rights): Immediate access to the project would be via an existing County road called Akala Road. This road has a 30-foot wide paved section that extends from Kaumana Drive to a dead-end. The unpaved shoulders have a width of at least 3-5 feet on both sides. In this general area, Akala Road has a right-of-way of 60 feet, with at least a 30-foot pavement. There is adequate sight distance in the area of the existing access, an additional access to the second parcel if approved, would also allow for adequate site distance while entering or exiting Akala Road. Further, access from Akala Road onto Kaumana Drive will be no problem. This is supported by the recent opening of the Puainako Street extension to Country Club Drive which now accommodates the flow of most of the traffic traveling to and from the Hilo town to upper Kaumana and Saddle Road destinations. 29. Availability of water: County water is presently available to the single residential structure on subject property. One additional water meter is needed to accommodate the new parcel. 30. Sewage disposal: There is no County wastewater system in this area. As such, a septic tank or cesspool system meeting with the approval of the Department of Health will be allowed. This will be done by the applicants and/or respective landowner in conjunction with the issuance of a building permit for a dwelling. 31. Solid waste: Solid waste will be handled through commercial haulers or the individual homeowners into authorized landfill sites or transfer stations. With the requested FA-la zoning, the potential for uses associated with toxic or related chemical waste would be minimal, if at all. It should be noted that the applicants intend to retain most of the vegetation on the site and use it for composting for their property. Thus, waste from this project would be equal to a domestic use. 32. Police & fire protection: As this area is already part of the City of Hilo area, it is already being serviced. No extension of government services would be required. The nearest fire station is located less than 4 miles from the site and the main police station is located less than 5 miles from the site. 9
