2012-57 SPACE SPP 1122 Amend - Laserfiche WebLink

Home

communications with neighbors have produced this request for additional activities with their respective conditions and other mitigations. In order to mitigate all our neighbors concerns we are proposing a condition that noise levels for the above activities be limited to 65 dBA which is considered an acceptable sound level for a single -- family residential area at night. Our present legal noise limit according to State Dept. of Health Rule 6 -4 D on land zoned Ag is 70 dBA day and night. We have formed a neighborhood group and have actively researched and designed a sound reduction plan for the SPACE pavilion. This sound reduction plan has $50,000 funding pending approval of this Special Permit and can be installed within 3 months of receipt of funding. In anticipation of this development, the borders of the subject property were landscaped 15 years ago. Today the border is lined with 25' Ironwood trees, 15ft Manilla Palms, 1 oft Protocarpus trees, Sft Noni trees and bougainvilleas with additional younger Bamboo and ti plants. We plan to use access from West Pohakupele Loop in Kalapana Seaview Estate subdivision via lot TMK 1 -2 -038 -050. Adequate off street parking is provided on the 3 lots (see Exhibit H) and activities will be contained within the property. Telephone and electrical services will not require any new poles. The effect on surrounding properties is expected to enhance the growth of community. Our amendment request will provide children and adults from our neighborhood as well as other Hawaii communities served by our organizations with a much needed self - sustainable community arts center demonstration model. Community development plus economic, educational and recreational services for children and adults in rural areas will all be greatly enhanced by this proposal. PUBLIC AGENCIES The Self - Sustainable Community Arts Center Demonstration Model and associated activities will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewer, water, drainage, schools, police and fire protection and any other infrastructure. UNUSUAL CONDITIONS Unusual needs have arisen on the island of Hawaii in this time of increasing focus on Sustainability. There is an ever - growing need for successful demonstration models. The proposed use would help to alleviate this problem. THE LAND IS UNSUITED FOR THE PERMITTED USES Although the subject parcels are classified and zoned Agricultural, its soil characteristics are not inherently unique and suitable for intensive agricultural activities, its potential for intensive or less intensive agricultural uses are extremely limited. 22 }
