Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 6 The subject property is accessible to the County sewer. The Department of Environmental Management(DEM)has indicated that any existing or new structure is required to connect to the public sewer in accordance with Section 21-5 (Sewers)of the County Code. In addition, DEM requires the applicant conduct a sewer study in accordance with the then applicable wastewater system design standards prior to approval to connect to the County sewer system. Finally,the applicant shall provide such sewer line or other facility improvements as the Director of DEM may reasonably require, which the sewer study may indicate are advisable for mitigation of impacts of the proposed project. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. According to the application, solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers who will dispose of the refuse at the county landfill in Hilo and eventually to the West Hawai`i Sanitary Landfill. Electrical and telephone services are available to the property. Police and fire services and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. Lastly,this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the proposed use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act(ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. • Based on the above findings, the request to rezone the property from a Single-Family Residential- 10,000 square feet(RS-10)to General Commercial-20,000 square feet(CG-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that would further benefit the general public. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code, is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.
