PD RECOMMENDATION REPORT (PL-USE-2023-000010)

Home

Monday to Saturday and the same will be for the permanent medical clinic once it is constructed. The permanent medical clinic, driveway and related improvements will create temporary construction impacts such as an increase in noise, dust, and construction traffic. These impacts will be temporary in nature and minor in scope and therefore are not anticipated to have a substantial adverse impact on the surrounding properties, particularly since some of the surrounding properties are already developed with commercial and community uses. Lastly, the Planning Department has not received objections from the surrounding community regarding the proposed request. Based on the above discussion, no significant adverse impact to surrounding properties is expected. The granting of the proposed use will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewer,water, drainage, school improvements, police and fire protection and other related infrastructure. Access to the subject property is currently from an existing 20-foot-wide driveway to Akoni Pule Highway, which is a minor arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of the County of Hawaii by a Transfer Agreement between the State of Hawai`i Department of Transportation and the County of Hawaii dated December 7, 2021. The applicant is proposing to construct a secondary driveway from Maluhia Road, a private roadway located to the west of the property. The applicant obtained a Grant of Easement, dated September 21, 2022, and recorded at the Bureau of Conveyance of the State of Hawai`i,which granted the applicant easement rights over Maluhia Road. Access to the transitional medical clinic is proposed to be from Maluhia Road with an interior turn-around and fire apparatus access lane. The applicant is proposing to expand the existing Akoni Pule Highway driveway access from 20 feet to 60 feet during the operation of the transitional medical clinic. Access to the permanent medical clinic and workforce housing will be from the proposed Maluhia Road driveway and will include the Akoni Pule Highway driveway once the driveway improvements have been completed. To minimize impacts to Maluhia Road, a condition has been added to require that improvements to the Akoni Pule Highway driveway be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the permanent medical clinic. 7
