PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 26. Access: Access to the subject parcel is from the west via Luhia Street, and `Eho Street from the south (makai) of the subject parcel, which are County-owned and maintained roadways with 50 feet of pavement within a 60-foot right-of-way. The property can also be accessed from Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway from the north (mauka), via a right-turn- in only movement south (makai) from the highway onto `Eho Street. This section of`Eho Street consists of 20 feet of roadway pavement with concrete curb, gutters, and sidewalks within a 50-foot-wide right-of-way. 27. Traffic: There is no current proposed development, however, the application provided traffic analysis on the hypothetical development of a 9,000 square foot structure. Using the Institute of Traffic Engineering (ITE) manual, a 9,000 square foot office building would only generate a maximum of 14 peak hour trips and a similarly sized retail complex would generate a maximum of 36 peak hour trips. Neither use would exceed the Zoning Code concurrency TIAR trigger of 50 peak hour trips. 28. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS), there is an existing 6-inch waterline within `Eho Street and a 16-inch waterline within Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway fronting the subject parcel. There is an existing service lateral installed to the parcel capable of accommodating a 1-inch meter, which is limited to an average daily usage of 800 gallons or two (2)units of water. While DWS has no objection to the amendment requests, the applicant will be required to submit estimated maximum daily water usage calculations, including the estimated peak-flow in gallons per minute and the total estimated maximum daily water usage in gallons per day. Thereafter, DWS will finalize water commitment deposit amount and facilities charge to be paid and determine appropriate service lateral and meter size required. The applicant will also be required to install a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly. Finally, DWS indicated that the existing waterline and fire hydrants along `Eho Street is inadequate to provide 2,000 gallons per minute of flow as required for fire protection per DWS Water System Standards. The applicant should contact the Fire Department to determine fire protection requirements or alternatives. 29. Wastewater: There are existing County sewer lines within `Eho Street and Luhia Street. -8-
