affected by the proposed rezoning since the project area has been full impacted by urban development. 14. Public Access: There is no public access to the mountains or the shoreline that traverses the property. 15. Traffic: According to the applicant, the proposed bank use is anticipated to generate approximately 31 entering and 22 exiting new trips in the A.M. peak hour and 82 entering and 82 exiting new trips in the P.M. peak hour. Based on the preceeding and in accordance with the Zoning Code's concurrency requirement, the applicant prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR) included with the application as Exhibit B of their application. The TIAR studied and evaluated the project's traffic impact at three (3) intersections: West Lanikaula Street and Kino`ole Street; West Lanikaula Street and Kilauea Avenue; and East Lanikaula Street and Mamalahoa Highway(Kanoelehua Avenue). The TIAR found that with or without the proposed project and based on a five (5) and ten(10) year projection (2023 and 2028), the overall intersection Level of Service (LOS) would continue to be"C" at the Kino`ole Street/West Lanikaula Street intersection, and LOS C and D, at the Kilauea Avenue/West Lanikaula Street intersection. The LOS, however, for westbound movements on West Lanikaula Street at Kilauea Avenue (the through and right turn lane) would move from"D"to "E" during the PM peak hours. At the Mamalahoa Highway, the LOS would continue to be unchanged at "F."As stated below, DPW-Traffic Division recommended restricting driveway access on West Lanikaula Street to right in/right out movements. In response, the applicant's traffic engineer provided analysis indicating that incidence of left-hand turns into the property and traffic queuing would be minimal, and therefore restricting movements at that driveway would be an excessive/unnecessary treatment. Despite this analysis, DPW- Traffic Division reiterated their concerns about vehicle queuing to the intersection, citing Traffic Division observations of higher congestion along that roadway at certain times (PM peak hours and lunchtime), which may not be captured by assumptions based in part on national data found in the Trip Generation Handbook. Therefore, DPW-Traffic -4-
