estimated daily water usage calculations for the proposed uses, in order to determine the appropriate service lateral and meter size required. DWS has additionally informed the applicant that the existing 8-inch waterline within Hualalai Road is inadequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow for fire protection. DWS has suggested that the applicant work with the Fire Department to determine an alternative solution. According to the applicant water is collected from roof runoff which is stored in two existing catchment tanks and used only for irrigation purposes. Additionally, according to the applicant, they have prepared plans for the installation of a 6-inch lateral and fire hydrant located approximately 70 feet from the existing structure to be used for the proposed use. According to the applicant,the lateral and hydrant are served by a 16-inch main and should have ample flow to meet DWS requirements.

According to the Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, the 60-foot wide roadway corridor that provides one of the access routes to this facility does cross through Flood Zone AE. Any work in Zone AE like the placement of gravel for maintenance or paving the driveway would require either a "No-Rise Certification" or a Letter of Map Revision from FEMA, no matter the volume of material being moved. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. There should be no other impacts to public services due to the proposed project. The site is currently serviced by police and fire facilities that are located less than five (5) -6-
