Home

This is just a blow-up of the area south of the Alenaio Stream. This is the concept of the proposed subdivision for residential units, and access would be off of Mohouli Street. These are some site photos. These two photos were taken from Komohana Street. This one is looking southwest so you have the Pu`u Honu Cinder Cone on the right side of the slide. This is, this is kind of taken directly across from that medical center, and then again you see the Pu`u Honu Cinder Cone, the Pu`u Honu Tract residences are located in this area here. These are site photos taken from the very top of Ponahawai Street at the Komohana intersection, so the extension of Ponahawai Street would be located in this area here, and then a view of the property from Mohouli Street extension. This is located standing just near the Lakeview Estates Subdivision looking towards Hilo Bay kind of in a southeast direction. So, the subject property is located in the entire picture here. The Director is recommending a favorable recommendation for the Applicant's request to amend Condition D, E, I, L, N, KK, and 00, and for, the Planning Director is also recommending a few additional amendments to Conditions J, K, O, S, FF, GG, HH, and then he's also recommending that you forward an unfavorable recommendation for the Applicant's request to amend Conditions P, Q, and R. And, I'll go into a little bit more detail here on that. So, this slide shows the Applicant's requested amendments, theoh, let's go back—the amendments highlighted in yellow are the request that the Director agrees with. So, you can see he agrees with the majority of the requests except for Condition P, which was to modify construction and completion requirement of the Ponahawai Street Extension; Condition Q modifying access requirements; and Condition R to modify the curb, gutter, sidewalk requirements. In addition, the Director is also recommending a few other kind of housekeeping changes to the ordinance. Condition J and K related to Water Supply, and these amendments are just being proposed to recognize that there are 200 existing water commitments for the property and the need for a revised water master plan. These revisions are based on the Department of Water Supply's memo that were provided in late 2018, early 2019. The Director also recommends amending Condition O to clarify that the entire Wailani Project District must connect to the County sewer system, and in their memo last November 2018, the Department of Health, Wastewater Branch confirmed that the project needs to connect to the County sewer system and that they will not approve the use of individual wastewater systems. The Director is also recommending deleting Conditions FF, GG, and HH, and adding a new Condition EE. This is related to archaeology on the property. The Applicant has provided SHPD and the County their archaeological inventory survey, mitigation and preservation plans. Those have been completed and approved by both the State and the County, and so now they're just at the stage of implementing any preservation measures. So, those conditions would be reflected, changed to reflect the current status of their compliance with these archaeological conditions. EXHIBIT C 5
