INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> A. Roads <br /> Access to the project would be throrIgh Kupuna Place by way of an <br /> easement over the adjacent parcel TMK: 2-4-1: 176 and a right turn in <br /> and right turn out access point off of Mohouli Street. Kupuna Place is <br /> a County owned and maintained roadway with a right-of-way of 50 <br /> feet with 32 feet of pavement and sidewalks of both sides. Mohouli <br /> Street is owned by the County and has a right of way and pavement <br /> width of 80 feet. The easement over TMKC 2-4-1: 176 has been <br /> agreed to by the County of Hawaii and its documentation is in <br /> process. <br /> This access plan was recommended by the Traffic Division over a <br /> proposed single access point from the subject property onto Mohouli <br /> Street. This later approach would create an additional left turn point <br /> on Mohouli Street which would further disrupt the traffic traveling on <br /> Mohauli Street. <br /> 12 <br />
