This rating represents a very poor overall suitability for agricultural use. ne Flood Insurance Rate Map designation of the Project Site 'is Zone "X", which means that it is situated outside of the 500-year flood plain. f. Q, The Site is located outside the Civil Defense Tsunanu* Evacuation Zone and is locatei approximately 10 miles inland firom the coast. Drainage improvements will be sufficient to dispose of all surface runoff onsite. All storm water generated by the project would be retained on site through a system of ,trywells. These drywells will require the approval of the State department of Health ant through the NPDES permitting system, objective of not only storm water containment but protection of groundwater will be fulfilled L.

M. EXIsting ArchaeologIcal, Cultural or Histonkal Sites on National or State Register K% B.Z Kuwakara LLC SL U Boundary Amendment A Change of Zon;, The Hawaii County General Plan designates certain sites and areas as areas of natur beauty and scenic resources. The Site is not listed as one of these designated areas, I The Property is not a coastal property and there is no immediate view of the ac coast. The proposed Project is not expected to si cantly impact the view planes of lanj surrounding pro7,jiV owners. P. Valued Cultural Resources It is not likely that there are any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights exercised in the area as it has been used as a base yard and for Bryson's Cinders for over 35 years,, There is no existing public access to and along the shoreline or to mountain areas through or proximate to the Property. 1-9-W =iL!7-ti L;4 i 7;TI[7-Ttv(q 0 loci) tag FIthough primarily situated in the Agricultural District and zoned agricultural, several Comm ial uses have been approved on nearby properties and surrounding areas via change of zone and special use permits. The LUPAG Map of the General Plan designates the property and surrounding areas as commercial, residential, and agriculture. As such, the requested actions are reasonable and consistent with the Puna CDP, the General Plan and the LUPAG Map. S. Economic Resources of the Area 1 .917!r4n: .=. - W B.

Availability of Water The current facilities are serviced by the County water system via an 8-inch water line along Old Pahoa Village Road. The proposed site receives water from two county locations at amounts equivalent to 41 units which should be satisfactory for the projected development. (According to the Hawaii County Water Supply Department.) MIMI a 0 The Property is not located widiin the seMce limits of the mumcipal sew- ` _" are two 1i for wastewater, which currently complies with all applicable DOH rules and regulations. Upon construction of the of the proposed retail c e n t e r 1 1 1 nstruct new septic system to meet all DOH and EPA standards. Applicant currently disposes of all waste by taking it to the Hilo Landfill approximately once a week. Applicant acknowledges that construction waste is not to be disposed of at any transfer station and will ensure that the contractor properly disposes of any such waste. Once the proposed retail center is completed, applicant will require Tenants to contract with a com :tercial hauler. M ism"nTill", The Pahoa Elementary, Intermediate and High school complexes are located in the town of Pahoa, approximately I mile from the Property. They are not expected to be impacted by the requested change of zone as the request does not *involve any subdivision creation of new lots, or residential construction. The closest park to the Property is Pahoa Village, Located approximately I mile to the east of the Site. Recreational Resources are not expected to be impacted by the requested c ge of zone as the request does not involve any subdivision, creation of new lots, or Residential construction. 4 -All necessary electrical and telephone services exist at the proposed site. Applicant a! applicants expense Will contract with HELCO and Hawaiian Telephone Company to p *de adequate utties for the retail square footage proposed for the site rovi 1ili� �1► \/ I: 17u�1 �I�M 1�� rI:�.Y.`��F.`T. u� I � �Y 11_x► 1 : ► a `� Relationship between Local Short Term Uses of Env u*@onment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long Term Productivity The local short term use of the subject site would most likely remain as a base yard for Bryson Cinders. The use of the site will transition into commercial use upon approval of this application. The project should not result in any significantly •adverse short or long -term impacts that cannot be properly mgated. There will be direct and indirect economic benefits resulting from the approval of this project. M" 'm ff, T Kuwah ara LL C SL U Boundary Amendment& Change of Zone The project will generate increased tax revenues that can supplement the State and County"s fiscal resources. T project nce cnstructed will provide families with c o nve n e ient services that ar he o o 'b otherwise not available without having to drive approxn"nately twenty to forty minute on a crowed highway 130. Thus saving lives, family time together, and household budgets. I The project Wl*U be accessible to the immediate households and surrounding comm ia-1 areas without having to drive through residential areas. The required infiwtructure, if necessary, will be implemented by the Applicants to mitigate potential impacts of this project. B. Mitigative Measures Proposed to Avoid, Minimize, Rectify or Reduce Impact U-T T 71 U17 1 17 1 M111-11(IM11 W Z Kuwahara LLC SL U Boundary Amendment & Change of Zone Alternatives to the proposed development M'clude the followm'g: 1. Not reclassifying or rezoning the Property 2. Rezoning to a different zo designatio,-r- 3. Developing the Project at another site D. Inreversible and Irretrievable Commitments of Natural Resources that would be Involved ff the Proposed Actionis Implemented The project site has been extensively disturbed. As such, the commitment of natural or other resources such as botanical, avifaunal and archaeological, would not appear to be significant-, The Project does not involve any irreversible or u*Tetrievable conunitments of natural resources. Due to the past use, it is highly unlikely that the property serves as a habitat for any federally or state listed, c,,m or proposed threatened or endangered plant or animal species. Water resources are not expected to be impacted.

Zoning varies from commercial-industrial to AG20 to Ag5 and neighborhood commercial. Traffic from this development will have an impact on the surrounding roads. This impact will be measured for the 'intersections stated above. B, Site Accessibility The proposed development will be accessed primarily from the extension westwardly of Kahakai Blvd from Old Pahoa Village Road Secondary access will be from two driveways along Old Pahoa Village Road, one located in the approximate center of the development and one at the southerly boundary. The Center Driveway is full movement. The South Driveway will be left-turn only. C. Land Use The project area is cuffently designated agricultural. The area is currently being use 2s a base yard for a cinder operation. There are two dwelling units on-site, one o which which may be converted to a restaurant. Also, there is a warehouse once use for flower distribution which currently is used as an office and equipment repai facility for Byson's Cinders. il D, Concurrency Pursuant to Section 25-2-46, Concurrency Requirements of the Hawaii County f%fl* 0 Zoning Code, the County requires a trallic impact analysis report (TIAR) of major developments be prepared or updated within six (6) months before the submission of any change of zone that can generate 50 or more peak hour trips.

With the two driveways fronting Old Paho• Village Road, 'it can be shown that these do not critically affect the traffic flow with left-tum movements. The South Driveway is also an easement for an existing business in back of the development that requi*res left-tum traffic movements. This arrangements must rernainin place. As for the Center Driveway, the level of service does not drop below "B". 16 of 17 REVISED 5/29/12 The secondary accesses from Old Pahoa Village Road will need the above mentioned widening to facilitate smooth motions in all directions.

AIL gor Amerr HWY-H GM DATE: February 22, 2012 ® Ken Tatsuguchi, HWY-P THRU: Blaine Nikaido, HWY-PS FROM: Salvador Panem, Hawal'i District Engineer Iliiiii "11111 11�111Z[� 1 111 iiiq !!!1111 1 1 i 11111 We have the following comments to offer: The authentication statement per HAR 16-115-9 is missing. The report does not provide any inventory, analysis, projections or consideration of pedestriar, or bicycle traffic in this area. There is no analysis of the adequacy of the storage lencith of existing turning lanes or the impact that the development will have on the intersection other than level of service. The report recommends a traffic signal in order to mitigate congestion yet does not provide any analysis or traffic warrant study. No traffic signal installation shail be considered without an approved warrant study. It should be noted by the report preparer that if a development cannot or will not provide any mitigation measures because an existing level of service is at an unacceptable level the development should not be allowed to proceed to worsen the situation. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call Mr. Clinton Yamada at 933-1951.
