Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 The approval of this time extension request is not contrary to the General Plan, KCDP, and zoning, therefore, the Director recommends retaining the property's existing CV-7.5 zoning. Water is available from the existing Department of Water Supply system on Kalawa Street. The applicant has secured a commitment for eight(8) units of water for the proposed project per the Department of Water Supply(DWS). The applicant will be responsible for constructing necessary water system improvements as required by the which may include, but not be limited to the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly and improvements to meet DWS' commercial zoning fire flow standard of 2,000 GPM at the site for fire protection. In addition, the applicant shall comply with all other applicable DWS policies and requirements. These requirements will be articulated as a condition of approval of this Ordinance amendment. The Department of Environmental Management Wastewater Division requires the extension of the public sewer and connection of any existing and/or proposed structures to the public sewer. The State Department of Health confined this requirement in their comment letter dated February 25, 2016, indicating that all wastewater shall be disposed of into the County sewer system. The applicant has stated that the sewer line has been extended to front the property,however, we have been unable to verify this with the Department of Environmental Management as of the writing of this report. The sewer extension and connection requirements will be articulated as a recommended condition of approval. Access to the property is from Kuakini Highway to Kalani Street, then south to Kalawa Street. Kalawa Street is a County roadway with an approximate 20-foot wide pavement within a 40- foot wide right-of-way. The current Ordinance requires the applicant to widen Kalawa Street by five(5)-feet and provide improvements (curb,gutter, and sidewalk) along the entire frontage of the subject parcel. However, DPW has suggested revising the roadway conditions to be consistent with other properties on the mauka side of Kalawa Street by continuing the same width of curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements within the existing 40-foot wide Kalawa Street right-of-way from the abutting property and providing a 5 foot future road widening setback along the entire frontage of the subject property. The future road widening setback should be shown on all site plans for Plan Approval and all structural setbacks should be taken from the future road widening line. These new requirements will be articulated as conditions of this favorable recommendation.
