(B) The desired use would not adversely affect surrounding properties. Uses in the surrounding area are a mix of agricultural and residential. There is a cluster of commercial uses within parcels zoned Village Commercial (CV) approximately 630 feet north of the subject site. The subject property is bordered by dwellings in all directions, with the closest dwellings being approximately 85 feet from the structures for the bed and breakfast operation to the north and south. Noise and visual impacts are not anticipated to adversely affect the surrounding properties. TMK 7-6-005:057, located approximately 900 feet southwest of the subject property, was approved for Use Permit No. 159, to establish a 2-bedroom bed and breakfast operation. The proposed use will abide by the rules and regulations for bed and breakfast operations as stated in Hawaii County Code Chapter 25. No traffic impacts are anticipated due to the limited number of rooms for rent (3) and the limitation on number of guests allowed at any one time (10). Approximately 5 peak hour guest vehicle trips are estimated per day. Given the low traffic levels anticipated by the proposed use, the applicant does not propose any road improvements, thus the proposed use should not adversely affect surrounding properties. (C) Such use shall not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers,water, drainage, school improvements, and police and fire protection. The subject property is accessible via Duarte Road, a privately owned approximately 9-foot wide paved roadway over a 50-foot wide access and utility easement that bisects the subject property and connects to Mamalahoa Highway. The portion of Mamalahoa Highway fronting the subject property's driveway entry is County maintained and has a right-of-way width of 50 feet with an approximate pavement width of 20 feet. There is good visibility both entering and exiting the driveway connection to the subject site. To minimize conflicts with school and commuter traffic, the applicant intends to schedule guest check-in and check-out after the AM/PM peak hours. 3
