intersection of 34th Street and Orchidland Drive. The property is designated by the State of Hawaii as Tax Map key No. 3 -1 -6- 010 -083, containing an area of approximately 2.31 acres of land. Fee owner of the property is 130 Holdings LLC, a Limited Liability Company in the State of Hawaii. The applicant has invested approximately two million dollars towards this project, including acquisition design and construction. To date, most of the infrastructure for the existing two shells are in place with another $500,000.00 anticipated to complete Phase 1. The cost of Phase 11, depends upon use, but could be an additional two (2) to four (4) million dollars. Parking will be provided on site as shown on the Site Plan (attached as Exhibit A). Parking arrangements for the project will meet with County of Hawaii requirements and have been prepared by a licensed engineer in the State of Hawaii. Access to the proposed complex would be provided off of Orchidland Drive, a privately maintained roadway which provides access to the subdivision off of the Keaau -Pahoa Highway. It is anticipated that the proposed project would reduce traffic levels on the Keaau -Pahoa Highway by reducing the number of trips residents of the surrounding subdivisions would need to make to Keaau and or Pahoa Town for services and goods. A traffic analysis impact report has been prepared by Witcher Engineering LLP. Copies of this report are included. The Traffic Impact Analysis report concludes that the intersection of Highway 130 and Orchidland is already impacted. The levels of service are "E" (very long traffic delays) in the AM, and "F" (extreme traffic delays) in the PM. The TIAR further states that mitigating measures need to be put in place for this already impacted intersection. These mitigating measures could consist of more lands on Highway 130, a right turn lane on Orchidland Drive with traffic signals, or a roundabout may also be a solution. Neither 130 Holdings LLC or the Hawaii State Department of Highways has no proposed Solution to mitigating the already impacted intersection. B. CONFORMANCE WITH STATE /COUNTY PLANS 2.
