project-related runoff or flooding. So we didn't feel like that would be a reason to provide an unfavorable recommendation. You know, the applicant would be required to engineer it such and follow the requirements to make sure that that's mitigated. In terms of the setback—pardon me, let me try and get to this—again, this is just an image from Robyn Matsumoto's proposed driveway design. Unfortunately, you can't see the existing dwelling, it would be kind of in this area. The 20-foot roadway, the flag lot—and again, this is just her concept—would be roughly in, could be roughly in this area, and that should provide enough, that's 20 feet, the side yard setback is going to be 20 feet, and there should be enough area in the front even with this extended driveway connection that's 95 feet from the eastern property line to ensure that the front yard setback for the existing dwelling is met as well, so I don't think the setbacks would be an issue from a zoning perspective, and that's with this current driveway alignment. Does that— UNGER: Great— KAY: reatKAY: Okay. UNGER: —great, thank you. KAY: And there were,were there other— UNGER: Well, there was the, and I'll try to do a summary based on what I heard and Commissioners can add as you see, but the did you have a question? CHURCH: I had a question, yeah. KAY: Yes. CHURCH: Looking at the sketch right here, the applicant is asked to have, to maintain the existing access plus this flag lot. There has been no mention of safety here. And it seems to me, I don't know to the extent that this type of sketch gets implemented or the Department of Public Works is going to require,but it seems to me that this kind of access would improve visibility and safety going both ways. And that would be another reason, I think, to be able to eliminate the existing access and service it from this area. Is that a factor or am I just making something up? KAY: Yes, so this design assumes a single access. Based on the conversations I've had with Robyn at Public Works, the single access is kind of a direction, it's a non-negotiable, it's a shall, g g whereas the access outside of the flood zone is a should or a recommendation. Based on the memo, it's because this is a collector road and that's their standard, and a lot of that, I think, comes off of safety as well given the proximity of the two accesses together. So that's why we wrote that as such. Again,this is something that, if you disagree with that,you can suggest a change and ultimately up to the County Council. But I think the other thing is there is this Condition D that says, "The driveway connection to Mamalahoa Highway shall conform to Chapter 22, Streets, of the Hawai`i County Code." I'm not as familiar with that section,but there may be that, you know, that requirement may be in there, so if this condition stays in there, 17 DRAFT
