Communication No. 2018-08- KCDP Amendments Subcommittee Report

Home

Communication No. 2018-08 incorporate and continue all collector streets, and selected local streets to adjoining property. If a portion of the stub-out is not improved, the current developer shall improve the stub-out portion, where practicable. Connection to adjoining properties may not be required if seriously constrained by topography or other physical hindrances, or in cases where through travel cannot occur because the property is bounded by development with private streets previously allowed. 3. Gated Entry. In the Kona UA outside of General Plan Resort or Resort Node, gates will be prohibited across new roadways identified to service the local transportation network. 4. Cul-de-sacs Discouraged. Cul-de-sacs are discouraged based on Policy TRAN-2.1 (1) Maximum Block Size and Policy TRAN-2.1 (2) Connection to Adjoining Property unless construction of a through street is found to be impracticable. Where cul-de-sacs or dead-end streets are allowed, they shall meet the prevailing standards in the Chapter 23 Subdivision Code. 5. Future Extensions. Roads serving future transportation interconnectivity will be identified for any proposed subdivision located adjacent to a vacant parcel. To supplement HCC Section 23-44, where necessary to give access to or permit a satisfactory future subdivision of adjoining land, or to conform with the Official Transportation Network Map (Figures 4-2a to 4-2d), a street stub-out or pedestrian path improved to the boundary is required unless financially guaranteed to enable the County to coordinate the stub-out construction as a regional project or in coordination with the development of the adjoining property. Applicants submitting preliminary development plans shall provide for feasible extension of selected local streets to adjoining undeveloped properties and eventual connection with the existing street system. Within phased subdivisions, temporary stub-outs shall be required. 6. Connectivity. In the Kona UA, all new roads that will serve as part of the interconnecting roadway system shall be dedicated to the County. Policy TRAN-2.2: Access Management. To preserve the through functions of arterials and major collectors, driveway access along new arterials and major collectors shall be minimized to the greatest extent consistent with the need to provide access to adjoining property. Access to such adjoining properties shall be planned to occur from local streets, and not from the arterial or collector road, whenever possible. On existing arterials and major collectors, the number of access driveways currently permitted shall should not be increased, and when development is proposed that would increase the usage of an existing driveway access, every effort should be made to eliminate the driveway access in favor of access at an existing or planned intersection. Four-way intersections with arterials and major collectors shall should be permitted only as shown Communication No. 2018-08
