Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 4 letter of opposition from the owner of parcel 2-2-024:031, which is situated directly adjacent to the north of the subject property. The owner objected to the noise and air pollution caused by cars accessing the bank parking lot and drive up bank teller service. Additionally,the lot owner is in the process of selling the lot with the expectation of the buyer that he was purchasing a lot in a quiet, residential neighborhood. In response, the applicant proposed the installation of privacy fencing and landscaping along the shared boundary to mitigate noise and visual impacts. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. The subject parcel consists of three(3)separate lots of record (Lot 17, Lot 18 and Grant 9646). The applicant plans to construct the proposed bank office building and related improvements across these lot lines. As such, the Director finds it prudent to require consolidation of the three(3) lots into one(1). The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. The applicant will provide basic infrastructure needed to support commercial uses such as County potable water, connection to the County sewer system, sidewalk improvements along West Lanikaula and Kino`ole Streets, and electrical service.

Both West Lanikaula Street and Kino`ole Street are two-lane, paved County roadways with curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements fronting the subject parcel, all within a 60-foot wide right-of-way. Additionally, there is a signalized intersection, complete with dedicated left-turn lanes fronting the subject site. Based on the proposed zoning, the Department of Public Works (DPW)recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the subject property's entire Kino`ole and West Lanikaula Streets frontage consisting of a"full width" concrete sidewalk of ten(10) foot width meeting the requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the approval of DPW. DPW further recommends that the applicant install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be required by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Works. The applicant shall be responsible for the design, purchase, and installation of such devices. Finally, DPW requires driveway connections shall also conform to Chapter 22, County Streets, of the Hawai`i County Code. 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.
