SUBJECT: BILL 314 - CHANGE OF ZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL (A-5a) TO
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CG-20)
APPLICANT: HAWAIIAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (HDC)
TMK: 7-5-03: PORTIONS OF 06 AND 07
Dear Chairman Arakaki:
As discussed at the previous hearing on the subject bill, one of the conditions of approval for the
State Land Use Commission Boundary Amendment Petition affecting the subject property (Docket
No. 94-705, Condition 4) requires that the project Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) be
approved by both the State Department of Transportation (DOT) and County Department of Public
Works (DPW) prior to zoning approval.
In response to comments received from the DOT during the review process for the subject
application, HDC had revised and resubmitted the TIAR to both the DOT and the DPW for review
and approval. We have also met with DOT and DPW staff to discuss the TIAR and its findings. In
meeting the above reference condition, enclosed for your reference are letters from DOT and DPW
providing their acceptance of and comments to the TIAR.
Should you have any questions regarding the subject Change of Zone Application or the referenced
TIAR, please don't hesitate to contact me at 961-3333.
Sincerely,
ames M. Leonard, AICP

Dear Mr. Wheelock:
Subject: Revised Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) for Mohala Kona Village Project in
Kailua-Kona
We have reviewed the revised TIAR (dated September 21, 1998) for the Mohala Kona Village
Project and found it to be satisfactory as far as our Queen Kaahumanu Highway is concerned.
However, please be aware that the makai-bound left turn from Henry Street to southbound Queen
Kaahumanu Highway presently is and will continue to be a problem that may concern the County
of Hawaii which has jurisdiction over Henry Street.
Very truly yours,
Ronald F. Tsuzuki

SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) Second Revision
Location: Moeauoa, North Kona, HI
TMK: 7-5-03: 06 & 07
We have reviewed the revised traffic impact analysis report and offer the following comments:
I . Additional lell turn lanes will be needed at the Queen Kaahumanu Highway/Henry Strect
intersection to accommodate the increased traffic flow. Dual left turn lanes, restripping, and
revisions to the existing signalization may be required in coordination with HDOT.
2. The posted speed on Henry Street is 25 miles per hour, not 35.
Please Ieel free to call Thomas Pack of our Kona office at 327-3530 with any questions.
