Mr. Zendo Kern, Director February 22, 2024 Page 2 if it is determined that a particular use could generate a demand for more than the required number of parking spaces. The parking would have to be in place before an occupancy permit can be issued. The condition(in bold italics) would read as follows: Prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval for all retail uses, the Planning Director shall review the proposed use and its parking impact to the immediate area and, if deemed necessary, increase the minimum required number of parking spaces to further the public safety, convenience, and welfare. The required parking shall be in place prior to issuance of occupancy permit. DRIVEWAY LOCATION and MANONO STREET BACKUP: Another concern was the location of the Manono Street driveway. Having it located adjacent to the Rhoades' property as shown on the preliminary site plan would create a potential for drivers to mistakenly enter the Rhoades property and even affect the line of sight when vehicles exit the property. Additionally certain uses, such as a drive-thru or large delivery trailer, could create a backup on Manono Street. To address these concerns, the applicant proposed that 1)the three (3) existing driveways be consolidated into one (1), and that the access be situated at the existing northern most driveway; and 2) a traffic assessment approved by the Department of Public Works be done and submitted prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval for any use that require drive-through or large delivery trailers and appropriate on and off-site mitigation be taken before those uses be allowed. The condition (in bold italics) would read as follows: The three existing driveway accesses from Manono Street shall be consolidated into one and be situated at the existing northern most access. Access from East Lanikaula Street shall be limited to right-in, right-out movements only. Full movements from Manono Street shall be allowed,provided that a Department of Public Works-approved traffic assessment with appropriate mitigation shall be submitted in conjunction with any application for Plan Approval for a drive-thru use or use requiring off-street loading spaces. Driveway access plans pursuant to Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22, County Streets, shall be submitted for the review and approval of the Department of Public Works. The required and/or appropriate mitigation(s) shall be in place prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any use. NOISE/DUST: Another concern was dust and noise, especially during the construction phase - including the demolition of the existing structures. Having prior notification would give the neighbors an opportunity to adjust their schedules and take appropriate measures - like window closing. In that regard,the applicant proposed
