Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 Since approval of the zoning in 1996, the County Council adopted concurrency requirements for water, roads and civil defense sirens. The Department of Water Supply has indicated that County water can be provided to the property for land uses permitted in the Neighborhood Commercial zoning district, although the applicant may need to install additional improvements such as additional or larger water meters. Additionally, the 20- inch waterline within Kanoelehua Avenue is adequate to provide water to meet minimum flow requirements for fire protection for commercial zoning. In June 2016, AECOM Technical Services Inc. prepared a Traffic Impact Assessment Report conducted for the current proposed development. The report, which assessed traffic impacts of the assisted living facility and approximately 13,500 square feet of commercial development, determined that the Kanoelehua Avenue- Kahaopea Street intersection will operate at an acceptable level-of-service with the proposed project. The development is expected to slightly increase traffic volumes on the East Kahaopea Street approach to the intersection and therefore, the report recommends the west leg of the Kanoelehua Avenue/Kahaopea Street intersection be re-striped to provide more vehicle queueing space for the eastbound left-turn and through traffic movement. The County Traffic Division has indicated to the Planning Department that they will complete this re-striping improvement in the future. Additionally, the Traffic Division has recommended and applicant has agreed to make improvements to the east leg of the intersection approach by providing pavement widening, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and drainage improvements and any necessary utility relocation along the properties Kahaopea Street frontage. These Kahaopea Street frontage improvements are not considered regional road improvements, but rather are considered local traffic improvements that serve the proposed development and mitigate its impacts on the adjacent road. Therefore, these improvements would not qualify for a credit against the fair share contribution for roads. Concurrency standards for civil defense sirens are met by a siren located nearby at Panaewa Park which provides coverage to the subject property. Thus, the proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide for infrastructure and utilities to the property. The applicant requests a determination of whether the fair share contribution requirements in Condition Q apply to assisted living facilities, and if so, requests relief from the parks and roads contribution components of Condition Q.
