Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 6 County water can be made available from a 10-inch waterline within Kilauea Avenue. The subject property is currently served by two (2), 5/8-inch meters that is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. As three (3) single-family dwellings will remain on the property, the applicant will be responsible for obtaining an additional water meter for the third dwelling as well as a separate water meter for the proposed restaurant. The existing 10-inch waterline within Kilauea Avenue fronting the project site is adequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow for fire protection, however, the nearest fire hydrant is located 200 feet from the subject property which does not meet the required 150 foot standard of the Fire Department. The Department of Water Supply will determine the appropriate service lateral and meter size required once the applicant provides estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for the proposed use and the applicants will be required to install reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly and any other improvements that may be required by DWS. There is no County sewer in the area. Thus, an individual wastewater system, such as a septic system, will need to be installed to service the proposed restaurant. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. Therefore, all solid waste generated by development of the property will require private disposal at the Hilo landfill. Electrical and telephone services are available to the property. Police and fire services and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The subject parcel is over two (2) miles from the nearest shoreline and is outside of the SMA. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the site. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. In a letter dated July 18, 2016, the DLNR State Historic preservation Division determined that the proposed rezone, demolition of a dwelling, and construction of a restaurant would have no effect to historic properties due to previous grading/grubbing on the parcel. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area and no action is necessary to protect these rights. Lastly, this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the proposed use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon
