C omm unication No. 2018 - 15 impracticable. Where cul - de - sacs or dead - end streets are allowed, they shall meet the prevailing standards in the Chapter 23 Subdivi sion 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 satisf actory 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 u ndeveloped 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 sh all 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 th e 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 ac cess 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 on the Official Transportation Network Map (Figures 4 - 2a to 4 - 2d), in order to preserve the through functions of arterials and majo r collectors. Objective TRAN - 3. Multi - Modal System. To develop a multi - modal transportation system to encourage walking, biking, transit, and other non - vehicular modes of travel. A multi - modal system needs to be attractive, safe, comfortable, convenien t, accessible, environmentally friendly, and affordable. Such a system would reduce congestion, improve air quality, reduce fuel consumption, and increase healthy activity. Not only would the system enhance the mobility of the elderly and youth, who do n ot drive, it would also make it possible for residents to divert automobile ownership expenses to other daily needs, such as a homeownership mortgage or insurance. The network could connect pathways within and outside of street rights - of - way. The system should provide convenient transfers between modes of transportation. 2018 - 03 - 13.KCDP.Amendment.Re port 4
