Program, an 1884 Registered Map of the area shows a"Canoe Landing"near the western border of the subject property. DOFAW recommended that access to the shoreline fishing resources and watercraft launching should be upheld by requiring a public pedestrian access easement and the County and the applicant should work with the Na Ala Hele Trail Program to locate appropriate access to the shoreline. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 22. Vehicular Access: The subject property is currently accessed via a series of 40-foot-wide access and utility easements between Old Mamalahoa Highway and the subject property. Old Mamalahoa Highway, which is a County owned and maintained roadway having an approximate varying pavement width of 20 feet within an existing 50-foot right-of-way, will provide primary access to the project site through `O`6kala village. From Old Mamalahoa Highway, secondary access to the subject property will be provided by a series of 50-foot wide private agricultural-standard roadways which were previously used as cane haul roads. These former cane haul roads have pavement widths of at least 20 feet, with portions covered by overgrown vegetation, which will be removed to ensure that a minimum agricultural standard pavement width and shoulders are provided. The Applicant is working with the adjoining landowner to secure the necessary access and utility easements through the mauka lands and to coordinate its construction to County-dedicable standards. 23. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), water can be made available from an existing 6-inch waterline along Old Mamalahoa Highway. The applicant has secured a water commitment for three additional water units which are valid until May 31, 2026 to support the propped subdivision. Additionally, DWS states that the applicant will need to construct water system improvements, which shall include, but not be limited to: water main installation; service laterals that will accomodate a 5/8-inch meter to front each lot; and the relocation and adjustment of the DWS affected water system facilities (should they be necessary). The applicant will also be required to remit the prevailing facilities charge upon completion of the required water system improvements and prior to final subdivision approval being granted. 24. Wastewater: There is no County sewer in the area. New dwellings and agricultural structures will have a septic system installed in accordance with the requirements of the State Department of Health. -5-
