st Avenue and Hualani Street intersection, Waiakea Houselots 1 Series, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: 2-2-35:58. Mr. Hayashi oriented the Commission and public of the subject and surrounding properties on the location map and site plan, and summarized the request. He noted that Page 4 of the Planning Department’s Background Report, Item 28, should state that according to the applicant the method of sewage disposal will be a septic system until such time as the sewer main is installed along Kanoelehua Avenue. He added the Department of Environmental Management yesterday indicated that they do not have any objections on the applicant providing a septic system since it is costly to extend the sewer line from Hualani Street. Mr. Hayashi then stated that the Planning Director is recommending approval of the application to the Hawaii County Council with conditions, with page 2 of the recommended conditions, Condition G replaced with the following “The method of sewage disposal shall meet with the requirements of the State Department of Health.” He added that page 3 of the Planning Department’s recommendation, the middle section where it says “All utilities and services are available to the site,” the fifth line which says “The project will connect to the County sewer system,” should be deleted. For the Commission’s information, Mr. Hayashi noted that there are Single-Family Residential uses surrounding and abutting the subject property and the zoning for the gray shaded area directly across the street is Limited Industrial zoning. The applicant, Bruce Hansen, and his representatives, Neil and Sheryl Erickson, were in attendance. Mr. Hansen noted the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan designation for this area and stated that they would definitely give the existing building to an employee if they can find one who wants it. There was no one from the public wishing to testify on this agenda item. It was moved by Commissioner Watanabe and seconded by Commissioner Rho to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council with the following revisions: On Page 3 of the Planning Department’s recommendation, middle paragraph, deletion of the following sentence “The project will connect to the County sewer system” and Condition G amended to read “The sewage disposal shall meet with the approval of the Department of Health.” A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with eight ayes (Watanabe, Rho, Salavea, Siracusa, Galdones, Iwashita, McCall, and Alameda) and one absent and excused (Graham).
