Traffic in this area is generally low and made up <br /> primarily by residents of the area. The proposed use would <br /> generate an increase in traffic to the subject site, however the <br /> increase would be very minimal. As noted above, the applicant <br /> anticipates approximately 15 to 20 patients per day during the <br /> hours of operation. This equates to roughly 2 to 3 cars per hour. <br /> This level of traffic is no different than residential levels with the <br /> exception of a slightly greater frequency. The Orchid Land Road <br /> Association was also consulted regarding driveway connections to <br /> (lima Street. Their only comment was to prefer driveways be <br /> surfaced in gravel,with no regulation as to number of driveways. <br /> 3L AVAILABILITIES OF UTILITIES <br /> HELCO and Hawaiian Telcom both serve the subject parcel. There <br /> is no County Water in the area. The applicant intends to use water <br /> catchment storage systems for non-potable water and fire <br /> protection. According to the rainfall atlas for Hawaii Island, the <br /> subject site receives 130 to 150 inches of rain annually, which is <br /> adequate for rain catchment systems. <br /> REGULATORY ANALYSIS <br /> 4A The granting of this request would promote the effectiveness and <br /> objectives of Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes as amended. <br /> The proposed use is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Coastal Zone <br /> Management as the subject parcel is approximately five miles from <br /> the shoreline. There are no public access, scenic or open space <br /> resources on the subject site. <br /> 4B The desired use shall not adversely affect the surrounding <br /> properties. There are few homes approximate to the subject site <br /> and many of the properties in the area are overgrown by non-native <br /> species creating a natural buffer. All patrons will park onsite in <br /> parking stall provided by the applicant. Based on the number of <br /> patrons and frequency of visits, the proposed request will not <br /> generate a substantial increase in traffic. <br /> 9 <br />
