Mr. Michael Vitousek, Chairperson and Members of the Leeward Planning Commission Page 4 of 6 February 7, 2022 d. Retail and food establishments with high traffic volumes will struggle to design the site to provide sufficient sales floor area, adequate on-site parking and be limited to 1,000 gpd of wastewater. A 2 or 3 story commercial building may help with the site constraints, but how will it address the visual concerns expressed by some in the community for something as small as a food truck? 2. Residential uses a. 1 single family dwelling or a duplex dwelling could be properly sited within the subject property provided that the total number of bedrooms do not exceed 5 bedrooms. A total of 4 on-site parking stalls will be required for a duplex, 2 parking stalls for a single-family dwelling. b. Multiple family dwellings, consisting of 3 or more dwelling units, is not possible since daily wastewater flow will exceed 1,000 gallons per day and subject property is limited to a single septic system. Average daily water usage per dwelling unit is approximately 400 gallons per day. 3. Bed& Breakfast Establishment a. A bed& breakfast establishment, not exceeding a total of 5 bedrooms, could be established within the subject property and there appears to be sufficient area for required on-site parking. However, a bed& breakfast establishment requires the landowner/operator to reside on the same property. The Applicant has no intention of relocating his residence to this property or hiring an operator solely for the purpose of establishing a bed& breakfast establishment. 4. Boarding, rooming or lodging facilities a. size of property and maximum permitted density will allow up to 6 rentable units on property. b. however, total number of possible rentable units severely restricted due to 8 on- site parking stalls required for a 6-unit boarding/lodging complex, building structural setbacks, and area required for septic system not exceeding 1,000 gallons per day in capacity. c. A single food truck and 6 parking stalls with no septic system leaves practically no room for any other improvements on the subject property. Not sure how one with squeeze a boarding facility onto the subject property. 5. Farmers' Market a. Farmers' market is possible, but same traffic concerns and adequacy of on-site parking will arise. As a commercial use, required parking is 1 stall for every 300 square feet of gross floor area, not to mention loading areas for the vendors.
