Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is located in flood zone "X" which is an area determined by FEMA to be outside the 500-year flood plain. County water is available from an existing 10-inch waterline fronting the property along Kilauea Avenue. The 10-inch waterline is capable of providing the required pressure of 2,000 gallons per minute of water flow for fire protection for commercial zoning. 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 commercial land use. There is no County sewer in the area and the property is situated in the Department of Health's Critical Wastewater Disposal Area. Thus, a septic tank system will need to be installed to service commercial uses on the property. 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. 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 the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the above findings, the request to rezone the property from a Single- Family Residential - 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Neighborhood Commercial - 10,000 square feet (CN-10) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that would further benefit the general public.
