Planning Department to investigate and address such complaints. The same condition has been added to Special Permits for similar uses. Proposed event activities will be limited to a 4-acre, fenced permit area and held by reservation between the hours of 9:00 am and 10:00 pm on weekdays and between 9:00 am and 11:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Events will be limited to no more than 12 per month (144 per year) and be limited to a maximum of 200 guests. Conditions of approval will memorialize these limits. While the proposed use will increase traffic on event days, the applicant anticipates a maximum of 60 vehicles per event. Furthermore, as the venue will not open until 9:00 a.m. and most events are expected to be held in the evenings and weekends, it is unlikely to increase traffic during peak hours.

Access to the property is approximately 0.7 miles north of the intersection of Mamalahoa Bypass Highway and Haleki`i Street. Turning lanes to and from the site are provided for both the northbound and southbound directions and a stop sign is posted for traffic exiting the property. Once off the main highway, guests and vendors will access the parking area via a 0.2 mile long, 20-foot wide,private gravel driveway. This driveway will run roughly parallel to the highway and be completely fenced in. A proposed gravel parking area will have capacity for approximately 80 vehicles and a turnaround area for emergency vehicles. A gate will be provided for emergency access from the Mamalahoa Bypass Road directly into the gravel parking lot. Conditions of approval shall require any construction within the County right-of- way shall comply with the requirements of HCC, Chapter 22, County Streets and require 5
