Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 5 The County Council adopted concurrency requirements for water, roads and civil defense sirens. The DWS indicated that county water is available with conditions. On June 18, 2018, the Department of Water Supply(DWS) specified that water can be made available from an existing 10-inch waterline within Kilauea Avenue which fronts the subject parcel in accordance with the Department's existing water availability conditions, which are subject to change without notice. The parcels are currently served by two (2) existing 5/8-inch meters. Please be informed that one (1) unit of water, or one (1) 5/8-inch meter is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons per day, which is suitable for only one (1) single-family dwelling. The Department has no objection to the proposed application subject to the applicant understanding and accepting the following conditions: DWS requests that the applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for the proposed use that meets their approval to determine the water commitment deposit amount, prevailing facilities charges and the appropriate service lateral and meter size; DWS requires the installation, inspection and approval of a reduced pressure backflow assembly; and, DWS has stated that the relocation and adjustment of their affected water system facilities may be necessary. Further, the DWS informed that the existing 10-inch waterline within Kilauea Avenue fronting the project site is adequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow for fire protection, as per the DWS standards. The Department recommends that the applicant contact the Fire Department for any fire protection requirements. A proposed development that will generate over 50 peak hour trips requires a traffic study. Based on this request, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report is not required. However, the Planning Director recommends adding a condition to require a TIAR should the proposed development generate over 50 peak hour trips. The nearest three (3) Civil Defense Agency (CDA) sirens are each over 4,000 feet away from the subject properties. The proposed project does not trigger the requirement of an additional CDA siren at this time. Although the CDA did not comment on this specific amendment request, they did provide their comments for the original request. On September 29, 2005, the CDA commented that the proposed project lies within the Tsunami Evacuation Zone, which the applicant should develop an Emergency Plan to address and respond to this hazard. For the safety of the public and to address planning for other types of emergencies, the Planning Director concurs and will add a condition for the applicant to develop an Emergency Plan in coordination with the Civil Defense Agency. Thus, the proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide infrastructure and utilities to the property.
