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