15. Archaeological/Historical/Native-gathering Rights/Valued Cultural Resources: The applicant did not commission any archaeological inventory survey and/or cultural assessments, as the fully improved site is in an existing urban environment. The properties have been in residential use for over 50 years. Therefore, the applicant indicated that the protection of traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights in the area does not apply. There are no known archaeological features on the subject site. On June 8, 2018, the State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD) provided a"no historic properties affected" determination based on several factors, and that the permit issuance may proceed. 16. Public Access: The applicant indicated there is no public access to the mountains nor to the shoreline that runs through the subject properties. 17. Traffic: The Zoning Code concurrency section requires a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) whenever a proposed development will generate over 50 peak hour trips. The applicant indicated that the Institute of Traffic Engineering manual states that the AM/PM trip generation for office use is 1.49 trips per 1,000 square feet. Thus, for a maximum of 3,000-square foot office building, the projected movements would be 4.47 or less than five (5) movements, which does not trigger the TIAR threshold. Ofthe projected maximum of five (5) AM/PM movements, at least two (2) or three (3) movements would be right-turn movements, which would not significantly impede traffic along Kilauea Avenue. The applicant indicated that Kilauea Avenue is wide enough to allow for through vehicles to navigate to the right of the few left-turning vehicles. In order to address the potential traffic impacts of a more intensive land use, the applicant is willing to accept a condition that requires a TIAR, as this would be similar to other commercially zoned projects. Existing Condition No. 7 of Ordinance No. 06 47 requires that the applicant shall also install street lights and traffic control devices as required by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Works. This condition will remain. 18. Streams and Other Waterways: There are no known streams that traverse the subject properties. The nearest stream is the intermittent Wailoa River, which is about 250 feet east of the subject properties and flows in a northerly direction towards the Waiakea Fish -6-
