Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 application, the Planning Department sought comments from other government agencies to understand how their rules and regulations impact the amendment request. To ensure compliance with those regulations, many of the comments received have been included to either amend existing conditions of approval or as new proposed conditions of approval to be considered by the Planning Commission and County Council. These proposed changes and new conditions are discussed below: The proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide infrastructure and utilities to the property. Access to the subject property is from the County owned and maintained Piilani Street which has approximately 25 feet of pavement width within a 60-foot right-of-way. The Department of Public Works (DPW), recommended and the Planning Director agrees that the portion of Piilani Street fronting the project site shall be improved to commercial standards, including but not limited to pavement widening, concrete sidewalks with curbs, gutters, streetlights/traffic control devices and drainage improvements prior to certificate of occupancy. Additionally, DPW recommended and the Planning Director agrees that the property owner shall be required to participate in the construction of or to pay their fair share contribution toward the cost of construction of the portion of Mililani Street fronting the project site. The preceding requirements will be added or maintained as conditions of approval. County water is available to the site and is limited to a maximum daily usage of 600 gallons. The water lines in the area are not adequate to provide the required pressure/flow for fire protection. The applicant will either install an alternative system meeting with the requirements of the Fire Department, or will upgrade the water line. The applicant will be required to submit anticipated maximum daily water usage calculations for the proposed project to the Department of Water Supply(DWS), who will determine if the existing water service can accommodate the proposed use or if larger or additional water meters are needed. Finally, the applicant will be required to install a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly and any additional improvements within the road right-of-way that may be required by other agencies. The preceding will be added or maintained as conditions of approval. As a condition of approval of this amendment, the applicant will be required to connect the project to a sewer line within Piilani Street, which will require the applicant to extend the sewer line from its terminus at the intersection of Piilani Street and Manono Street to the subject property.
