Dear Mr. e eir€ s:
February 12, 1938
USe PerMit Application
Petitioner; Dr. Kean Xamashiro
` MQ 2-2--21:28 and 44
The Planning Commission at its duly held public hearing on
February 9. 1988, voted to approve your application, Use Permit
No. 58, to allow the establisbment of a dentist's oVice at Waiakea,
South :Pilo, Hawaii.
Approval of this request is based on the following:
The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare nor cause substantial adverse impact to the
c r:ss unitv'= character or to surrounding properties. While the
totting for, the; properties Is n le -Family Residential, the
general character of the surrounding properties along Ainoole
Street is commercial in nature. Commerciale public'and
quasi -public uses such as Hilo Radiator and Glass Repair Shop,
Kapiorani Elementary >chool# the United Community Church and
preschool, KixiOO& Medical. Group and <a dental office building
are in very 'close proximityto the project site. While the
establishment of a dentist's office may have some impact on the
adjacent residential user' to the south, the effect should be
quite ' negligible. Unlike the recently established dental and
medical offices, the applicant internis to be the sale
practitioner together with one or two assistants. The
properties will be upgraded *pith' landscaping and a paved parking
area. The proposed renovations will vastly improve an area that
is presently € nt nded and overgrown, Further, rattier than
having detrimental effects on a community, a dentist's office is
Bually ,established in a particular location for the benefit of
the People. In light of the above, it is felt that the
establishment of a dentist's office at this particular location
will not unreasonably affect similar or related existing arses
within the Hilo, area.

The project site is Provided with all essential utilities
and services. The increase in traffic to this area will be
minimal since Kinoole ;street and t ohouli Street currently
receive a higb volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The
se=ctionof Kinoole Street fronting the properties is improved
with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. To avoid traffic concerns,
access and parking i air rdvements shall be approv€ad Dy the

Water Supply, w&tIR-r is ai ailable to service the project. All

Departments, raisers no concerns about the proposal.
The propose=d dental use at this location would be
consistent with the general purpose of the Zoning Code and
General Plane The goals of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan state to "Designate and allocate land uses in aapproDriate
proportions and in koepirg with the social, cultural, and
physical environments of the County." it is felt that the
chanting of the request at its particular location will still
maintain the Present environment of this area of the Cita of
Hilo. As stated earlier, since all essential utilities and
services are available to the properties, the granting of this
request will be in the direction of fulfilling the land use
policy of the General Flan which encourages and promotes the
utilization of urbar areas serviced by basic community
facilities and utilities. Finally, the ,ranting of this request
could still be consistent with the purpose of the Zoning, which
is to Promote :bmalth, safety, morals and the general welfare of
