Valerie Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 6 Road. As Akolea Road has an existing thirty(30) foot wide right-of-way, a future road widening of twenty-five (25) feet wide on each side of the road would help to achieve the City of Hilo Zone Map 80-foot wide right-of-way for Akolea Road. As mentioned above, the Planning Director recommends a condition requiring the applicant identify and dedicate a twenty-five (25) future road widening easement along the Akolea Street frontage in conformance with the City of Hilo Map. There is an existing waterline within Akolea Road fronting the subject parcels. There is one (1) existing service lateral and one (1) existing meter fronting the existing parcels providing a maximum of one (1)unit of water to each parcel. There is a maximum of four (4) additional units of water(or an average of 1,600 gallons per day) that can be made available between the subject parcels. Each unit of water is equal to an average daily usage of 400 gallons and suitable for only one (1) single-family dwelling. A water commitment is required for the requested four(4) additional units of water. The applicant shall construct the necessary water system improvements and remit the prevailing facilities charge upon completion of the installation of the required water system improvements and the effecting the properly prepared and conveyed documents, prior to final subdivision approval. The preceding are recommended as conditions of approval for this change of zone ordinance. County sewer service is not available in the area. The applicant indicates that the Hilo landfill will be closing, which is the nearest solid waste disposal location. According to the 2018 South Hilo Landfill Final Closure Final Environmental Assessment, the County of Hawai`i Department of Environmental Management will continue to implement its current waste diversion program, as well as explore other options to effectively divert waste from the island waste stream, which will help to reduce the impacts and costs associated with trucking waste from East Hawai`i to the West Hawai`i Sanitary Landfill. All essential utilities are available to the subject properties. Fire and medical services are available from the Kawailani Fire Station. Police services are available from the Hilo Police Station. Concurrency requires a traffic study whenever a proposed development will generate over 50 peak hour trips. Based on the subject request, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) is not required. The nearest Civil Defense siren is located less than 3,750 feet away at the Kaumana Caves. The proposed project does not trigger the requirement of an additional Civil Defense siren at this time.
