(C) Such use shall not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements, and police and fire protection. Access to the permit area is from Mamalahoa Highway, a two-lane arterial State roadway with approximately 30-foot-wide pavement within a 70-foot-wide right-of- way. There are two driveways that connect the permit area to the highway, with the southernmost driveway solely dedicated to inbound traffic. Middle Ke`ei Road, a private two-lane road, is the nearest road that intersects the Highway, approximately 0.1 miles north of the permit area. A traffic analysis (mobility analysis report) was performed and found that the additional traffic generated by the project will not create an unacceptable level of service at the intersection of Mamalahoa Highway and Middle Ke`ei Road during morning and afternoon peak hours. The applicant also proposed the following traffic modifications to be made on-site outside of the highway right-of-way to improve circulation and safety: ■ Widen current driveway to a minimum of 20 feet to accommodate two-way traffic; ■ Install two stop signs, one at a location near the Highway and one between the two-lane driveway and the parking in front of the existing building; ■ Remove parking stalls along the parcel 038 highway frontage and add 12 overflow parking stalls along the south side of the permit area(on parcel 014); ■ Stagger drop-off and pick-up times to keep traffic circulating; and ■ Allow for the future planned widening of Mamalahoa Highway to accommodate bicycle paths and improved pedestrian facilities. The State Department of Transportation (DOT) found the traffic analysis and proposed traffic/circulation modifications acceptable and directed the applicant implement them as part of the project. A condition of approval will require the applicant to implement the access improvements/strategies meeting with the requirements of DOT. County water is available to the permit area via an existing, 8-inch water main within Mamalahoa Highway with each of the subject properties serviced by an existing, 5/8" water meter, each of which allows an average daily usage of 400 gallons of water per -5-
