traffic conditions without the widening assumption (which may have a direct, negative <br /> impact on LOS findings). Additionally, DOT further requested that the report be updated <br /> to identify future direct impacts from the project to State roadways (if any), identify <br /> appropriate mitigation measures and commit to implementing them as required and <br /> approved by DOT. Further, DOT suggested that the TIR be updated to include follow-up <br /> activities including commitments that local and fair regional mitigation be implemented, <br /> planned updates to the TIAR, suggest, permitting triggers, and articulate fair share <br /> agreements for regional improvements, as well as other standard DOT requirements. <br /> According to the applicant, upon subsequent consultation with their traffic <br /> engineer, the TIR analysis included the widening of Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway in the <br /> Year 2045, at full project buildout, and not sooner which would have negatively impacted <br /> level of service within the first five (5) years of the project. Thus,the TIR meets Zoning <br /> Code (Section 25-2-46) concurrency requirements, and the applicant has committed to <br /> submitting an updated TIAR as recommended in the TIR. <br /> Additionally, the applicant has stated that they and other owners within the WBC <br /> have already satisfied all obligations to mitigate direct impacts and regional improvement <br /> by installing a four-way, channelized, signalized intersection at Queen Ka`ahumanu <br /> Highway and the Waikoloa Beach Road extension,thus no fair share agreements for <br /> improvements are necessary at this time. <br /> As the 264 timeshare units were previously entitled and addressed in past <br /> ordinances for the area of the Waikoloa Beach Resort and this rezone is being done to <br /> effectuate a land swap, the applicant has proposed to complete a new TIAR once the <br /> development of 400 timeshare units have been completed within "Area B" of the Kumu <br /> Hou Project. This new study would provide an updated traffic baseline and update <br /> findings and proposed mitigation based on the new data for review and approval by DOT. <br /> The Director agrees with the need to provide an updated TIAR as recommended in the <br /> TIR. <br /> The concurrency section of the Zoning Code (HCC Section 25-2-46(0)) also <br /> requires the provision of a Civil Defense siren to provide adequate warning coverage <br /> across the entire project site as part of a rezoning that proposes 25 or more residential <br /> -7- <br />
