Manono Street, is a County-owned and maintained road with approximately 24- foot-wide pavement within a 60-foot-wide right-of-way and has an existing sidewalk fronting the subject property.

The applicant proposes a right-turn in, right-turn out access drive at Lanikaula Street and a full-turn movement access drive at Manono Street. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), Engineering Division, all driveway connections and construction shall conform to Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22, County Streets, and that the applicant shall include the provision of adequate sight distances, meeting with the approval of DPW.
