of zone ordinance also require roadway stub outs to the property to the south and prohibits roadway connections to adjoining parcels and vehicular access to individual lots from Kahului to Keauhou Parkway. However, a gated vehicular emergency egress to Kahului to Keauhou Parkway may be installed. 33. Traffic: To address concurrency requirements related to traffic, the applicant submitted an updated Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) from SSFM International dated October 2021. The TIAR included updated traffic counts and studied the impact of the proposed project on four(4) intersections (l. Alii Drive at La`aloa Avenue; 2. Route 11 at La`aloa Avenue; 3. Queen Kalama Avenue at Naniloa Drive; and 4.Ali`i Drive at Queen Kalama Avenue). According to the TIAR, all sudied intersections currently operate at Level Of Service (LOS) C or better during both AM and PM peak hours, and are expected to do so until 2031,thus no immidiate mitigation is warranted for existing conditions. The TIAR goes on to analyze future traffic conditions at the same intersections with and without the proposed project. The findings of that analysis are summarized as follows: "...the Laipala Makai project will have little impact to traffic delay at the Ali`i Drive at Queen Kalama Avenue and the Queen Kalama at Naniloa Drive intersections. At the proposed intersection of the project driveway and Ali`i Drive, a single-lane entrance and a single-lane exit will work acceptably. Traffic operations show that the all-way stop-control at Ali`i Drive and La`aloes Avenue will result in movements that operate at LOS E in Future (2041) Without Project and Future (2041) With Project conditions. The 8-Hour (Warrant I Condition B) and 4-Hour (Warrant 2) traffic signal warrants were satisfied and the resulting intersection analysis with a traffic signal with permitted phasing resulted in acceptable LOS for the intersection and movements. The future widening of Route 11 and/or the completion of the Ali`i Highway extension will likely lower the traffic volume at this intersection, resulting in better traffic operation at this intersection. It is recommended that this intersection be monitored, and the installation of a traffic signal be considered if needed. The v/c ratio for the northbound and southbound approaches at Route 11 and La`aloes Avenue will also be approaching LOS F in Future (2041). The north-south capacity will need to be increased through the widening of Route 11 from Henry Street to Kamehameha III Road or the
