Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 The County Council adopted concurrency requirements for water, roads and civil defense sirens. The Department of Water Supply has indicated that County water is available. The Department of Water Supply has approved the water usage calculations and construction plans for the proposed project and required the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly. The applicant may need to install additional improvements such as additional or larger water meters. Conditions will be made to address the comments from the Department of Water Supply. The concurrency section of the Zoning Code states that a traffic study is required whenever a proposed development will generate over 50 peak hour trips. According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 5,700 square feet of warehousing and 4,300 square feet of general retail would generate about 33 trips during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour periods. Thus, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report is not required. Concurrency standards for civil defense sirens are met by a siren located nearby at the South Hilo Baseyard which provides coverage to the subject property. Thus, the proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide infrastructure and utilities to the property. This favorable recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with uses permitted within the Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use Zoning district, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, 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 favorable recommendation; failure to comply with such fequirements 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 Planning Director recommends that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council to amend Ordinance No. 07-136. In addition, the Planning Director recommends that existing conditions,in the Ordinance be revised to reflect the current standard language for conditions of approval. The accompanying draft bill
