Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 the of density, which may frustrate the County's ability to provide public services. To mitigate this, a condition will be included to prohibit a second dwelling(Ohana)unit and a condominium property regime on each lot. As a result, the rezoning will not increase the potential number of dwellings but gives the landowner the option of subdividing into two lots. Based on the preceding, the proposed change of zone would complement the existing and predominately residential land uses in the surrounding area and is consistent with the General Plan designation for the area. All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the property is from Nalani Street, which is owned and maintained by the County. Nalani Street has a 40-foot right-of-way, with a pavement width of sixteen (16) feet and three(3) foot shoulders. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), the existing Nalani Street is 40 feet wide and the current minimum width of a County road is 50 feet. Due to the rezone to RS- 10, DPW recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the property's entire Nalani Street frontage consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation meeting with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act and the approval of DPW. The improvements shall be located within any future road widening setback as may be established by the Planning Department. The Director is concerned about roadway improvement checkering(e.g. only having street pavement widening and curb, gutter, and sidewalk in front of one property on the street), therefore, instead of requiring immediate roadway improvements, the Director is recommending a condition requiring the applicant, successors or assigns pay their pro- rata share for the previously mentioned roadway improvements when the DPW implements a project for these improvements along Nalani Street in proximity to the subject property. Moreover, the payment of the pro-rata share will be split evenly between each proposed lot. This condition is consistent with a similar condition in Change of Zone Ordinance No. 91- 017, which rezoned the property directly adjacent to the north was rezoned from RS-15 to RS-10 to allow for a two (2)-lot subdivision. In addition, the Director is recommending that the applicant subdivide and dedicate a five (5)-foot future road widening strip along the property's Nalani Street frontage prior to granting Final Subdivision Approval of the proposed two (2)-lot subdivision.
