UTILITIES AND SERVICES 18. Access: Access to the property is from Pahoa Village Road, a County-owned and maintained roadway with a pavement width of approximately 20 feet within an irregular width right-of-way fronting the subject property. The General Plan identifies Pahoa Village Road as a collector street which requires a minimum right-of-way width of 60 feet. However, recently the Planning Department and Department of Public Works (DPW)have recognized that due to the location of existing structures in or abutting the current right-of-way, it is highly unlikely that a 60-foot wide right-of-way can be achieved for this road. Instead a 50-foot wide right-of-way is more realistic. Therefore, and since the right-of-way fronting the property is irregular, DPW recommends the applicant provide a 25-foot wide future road widening setback taken from the roadway's existing centerline. The provision of this future road widening setback would also resolve the encroachments within the right-of-way and subject property. The DPW also recommends the applicant or successor landowner provide a pro rata share of the cost of constructing roadway improvements, to include curb, gutter, sidewalk,pavement widening and utility relocation, at the time when such improvements are implemented by the County. 19. Water: County water is available from an 8-inch waterline within Pahoa Village Road. Parcel 20 is currently served by a 5/8-inch meter, which is typically limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. The Department of Water Supply(DWS) recommends the applicant provide water usage calculations for the existing uses and proposed expansion so they can determine if the existing water meter is adequate or if an additional or larger water meter needs to be installed to meet the water requirements of the property. A backflow prevention assembly will need to be installed on the existing and any additional water meters. The existing 8-inch waterline fronting the property has a theoretical fire flow capacity of 1,565 gallons per minute(gpm)that does not meet the 2,000 gpm requirement for commercial land uses. The DWS recommends the applicant contact the Fire Department to determine the appropriate fire protection requirements. 20. Wastewater: According to the Department of Health, an existing cesspool on parcel 20 services the gas station, market and auto shop. The applicant may need to install a new -4-
