II) Physical Characteristics: Niumalu Marketplace is located adjacent to Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. along its northeastern border and Henry St. along its southeastern border. Lanihau Center-Phase 1, is fronting the northwestern border of the Property,while the southwestern border of the Property is fronting the 85-unit Kalanikai condominium project and the 95-unit Kailua Bay Resort condominium project. 15-foot wide front yard setbacks are required along Henry St. and Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy, and there are no required side yard setbacks along the other 2 adjoining property lines. The Niumalu Marketplace will be approximately 32 feet below Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. at build out, and due to this severe grade separation, visibility of the project along Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy will be restricted. The Applicant is planning to install large canopy trees located along the Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy. frontage (as required and recommended for approval by KVDC), to further limit visibility of the Niumalu Marketplace from pedestrians and vehicles traveling along this thoroughfare. There are two vehicle entrances to the Niumalu Marketplace,both of which are located along Henry St. The upper(mauka) entrance is designated as the main entrance to the Niumalu Marketplace. A new traffic signal will be installed at this intersection with Henry St. The lower(makai)entrance will serve as a secondary entry point to the Niumalu project, and will also continue to serve as thoroughfare to the adjacent Lanihau Phase 1 property. The lower end of the Property is raised above Henry St. by approximately 10 to 15 feet.
