Access: Access to the property is currently provided via an unimproved driveway off of Kahaopea Street near Kanoelehua Avenue. The driveway is located in a road easement that provides access to Parcel 30. The applicant plans to construct a 30-foot wide driveway access further east on Kahaopea Street across from `Awapuhi Street. Kahaopea Street is a County roadway with a 40-foot wide right-of-way and is paved with no sidewalks or curbs. The Police Department has indicated the East Kahaopea Street approach to the highway intersection has a steep incline and limited visibility, and East Kahaopea Street near the proposed access across from `Awapuhi Street is narrow and would need to be improved to handle the project's traffic. The applicant plans to widen the road and install curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along the property's entire Kahaopea Street frontage. 18. Water: County water is available to the site from a 20-inch waterline in Kanoelehua Avenue and 8-inch waterline within Kahaopea Street. There is an existing service lateral designated to parcel 37 capable of accommodating a 1-inch meter, which is limited to three (3)units ofwater,or amaximum dailyusage of 1,800 gallons per day. Additional water system improvements, such as new service lateral(s) and meter(s), may be required to provide the amount of water needed for development of the property. The 20-inch waterline in Kanoelehua Avenue is adequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow for fire protection. 19. Wastewater: The County sewer system extends as far south as Maka'ala Street in Hilo, therefore there is no sewer in the area. The applicant estimates about 17,740 gallons per day of wastewater will be generated at the proposed assisted living facility. A wastewater treatment unit will be installed to handle the wastewater, which will include a secondary treatment facility, pump station, treatment tanks and injection wells. The system will meet the requirements of the State Department of Health. -7-
