to the subject site, however, the increase would be approximately 10 to 20 visitors per day. This equates to roughly 2 to 3 cars per hour, similar to current residential levels. Potential adverse impacts will be mitigated using "quiet hours" (10pm to 7am) for the facility, during which visitation will generally not be permitted. Consultation with the Department of Water Supply indicates water can be made available from an existing 8-inch waterline within Ainalako Road. The property is currently served by a 5/8-inch meter with an average daily usage of 400 gallons per day (gpd) and a maximum daily usage of 600 gpd. The DWS requests that the applicant submits estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for review and approval. Currently, there is no municipal wastewater system serving the subject property. There is an existing septic system, however the applicant has stated that they will upgrade the wastewater disposal system as needed to comply with Department of Health standards. (D) Unusual conditions, trends, and needs have arisen since district boundaries and regulations were established. In the 1960's and 1970's, the State's agricultural district boundaries and regulations were established and subsequently amended pursuant to HRS Chapter 205. The State Land Use Commission was created in 1961, and interim regulations and temporary district boundaries became effective in 1962. Subsequently, the regulations and Land Use District Boundaries became effective in August of 1964. The property and surrounding areas are designated for agricultural uses by both State and County land use laws. Through the issuance of a Special Permit, various"non-agricultural" services may be allowed, including an elder care facility. (E) The land upon which the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the uses permitted within the district. The property is situated on soil identified as Pana`ewa very cobbly hydrous loam, classified as "D" or "Poor" by the Land Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating. However, it is categorized as "Prime" by the Department of Agriculture's ALISH Map. The proposed elder care facility will utilize the existing structures, with the only ground disturbance necessary to include possible septic improvements. Based on the above information, the land on which the proposed use is sought may be unsuitable for the more common uses found within the agricultural district. -5-
