Special Permit Application and Use Permit Application Hamakua Health Center, Inc. 3. Phase III - Workforce Housing, is a two-story, approximately 5,696 square feet building (first floor of 3,808 square feet and second floor of 1,888 square feet) (see Exhibit 4a; Exhibit 4e-floor plans),which will house varying mixes of Project contract workers and employees, traveling multi- disciplinary researchers and trainees working at the Project, for periods ranging from a few nights up to a few years, depending on the topic and level of research and training. HHC is collaborating with the John A. Burns School of Medicine on its training and recruitment program (see Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 4a). a. Water, Wastewater and Fire Control Services: Based on the water demand calculations for the Workforce Housing, water from the existing 5/8th-inch meter is insufficient to meet the water demands for the Phase III development(see Exhibit 19a). The DWS is expected to complete construction of, and bring on-line a new tank site in 2023. The DWS has preliminarily informed the Project's engineers that additional units of water required by Phase III can be made available, subject to final determination by DWS (see Exhibit 19b). A new IWS with primary and backup secondary absorptions beds approved by the DOH will be installed (see Exhibit 4a). Fire control will be handled by the DWS municipal system, supplemented by a dedicated, stand-alone 10,000-gallon water catchment tank with a 4-inch waterline supplying the Fire Department Connection mounted on a concrete monument which will alleviate the need for a fire hydrant to be installed for subsequent phases. The primary and backup secondary absorptions beds will be shared with the Permanent Clinic. b. Access and Parking: Access to the Workforce Housing will be via either the Maluhia Road Driveway or the Akoni Pule Highway Driveway. A total of 8 off-street parking stalls, including an ADA area are proposed in Phase III (see Exhibit 4a). During certain periods of the construction phase,vehicles will access the Project from the Maluhia Road Driveway. C. Project Timetable and Phasing. Development of the Project components will be implemented in three phases. I. Transitional Clinic. HHC has secured funding which will allow for the immediate construction of the Transitional Clinic upon approval of the Special Permit application (subject however,to approval of the Plan Approval, grading permit, building permit and Certificate of Occupancy), _________________________________________________________________Page 7 of 38
