A Traffic Assessment Report was prepared for this project by Witcher Engineering LLP. This report's finding is as follows: IV. FINDING This analysis indicates that the project will have a minimum affect on the flow of traffic on Highway 132. Eastbound traffic is not affected. Westbound traffic is somewhat affected, yet the level of service is "A ". The traffic flow out of the project is northbound left and northbound right. The wait to turn onto the highway is minimal for these movements. It should be noted that the hours of operation of the clinic fall after the AM peak hour of 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and that the clinic operates well after the end of the PM peak hour. Also, it should again be noted that there is a signalized intersection to the west of the proposed driveway. This will serve to provide gaps in the eastbound traffic. This project should have little to no impact of traffic flow on Highway 132. Parking will be provided on site. Proposed are a total of 46 parking spaces: 29 of standard size, 15 compact size and 2 ADA accessible. J. AVAILABILITY OF UTILITIES County water is available from an existing 8 -inch waterline within Pahoa- Kapoho Road fronting the subject parcel or an existing 12 -inch waterline within Pahoa - Kalapana Road. There is an existing 1 -inch service lateral to the parcel capable of accommodating a 5/8 -inch meter, which is limited to an average daily usage of 400 gallons. The existing 12 -inch waterline within Pahoa- Kalapana Road is adequate to provide 2,000 GPM of flow for fire protection, as required per the Water System Standards for the proposed type of land use. The Department of Water Supply requires estimated daily water usage calculations. Based on these calculations, if the existing 1 -inch service lateral cannot accommodate the estimated demand, a larger or additional meter will need to be installed. The closest fire hydrant is 600 feet on Pahoa- Kapoho Road. An approved sewage disposal system will be designed by an engineer, conforming to State of Hawaii, Department of Health requirements. Electricity and telephone are available to the subject parcel. 2. HOW THE REQUEST MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS A. CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING CODE AND GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life through economic development that enhances the county's natural and social environments.
