Container Parking - Kapohocat - 02-04-2012
Okay all the researchers:
Cant find a link for regulations for parking a Matson containers on roads ways.
Anyone know where to look? I tried the PUC website but didnt find anything.
Is there a time stipulation or any other requirements or is it even allowed?

I would think that the rules of parking for any vehicle would apply. You would have to park off the road, not on the road. I don't think that parking on a road is legal in any circumstance.... though unloading from a container for a short time on Puna's narrow subdivision roads might not constitute parking.
RE: Container Parking - Kapohocat - 02-04-2012
This is in a right of way but off the pavement.
I remember from 25 yrs ago in Cali, certain sized containers could not be parked on side streets even where vehicles park except to off load.

Cat, we parked our rented container trailer on the grass strip beside the roadway in HB for a couple days while we loaded and waited for the forklift to come set it back on. Local police were down there on another matter and just ignored it. Important to note we were near the end on a deadend. Not sayin' it was legal but it worked.
RE: Container Parking - Kapohocat - 02-05-2012
I dont want to park a container. I want to keep one from being parked in front of my house.
Not just for day of unloading, but a week or more I was told.

Good luck on that one. Let us know the outcome.
Kat, what is the story with the road blocked at the tidepools parcking area? Does that construction going on there have permission to block off the road? The building looks very close to the parking spaces, is that legal? Will the parking spaces be moved?
Thanks for any information you might share.
Also, kudos on the new porta pots.

Cat, camp a goat on a lead out there or park a rig or two - end of problem, no?

*** Porta potties: We need to support Dov - who is providing the $$$ support for the porta potties along with general contractor Michael Barton. http://lovestarrecords.com/earthharmonyfoundation/earth_harmony.html Buy his new CD!
Every time something new in construction happens (especially on one of the sites in particular) my phone blows up so here is the contacts if you have a complaint:
Planning Dept 961-8288 - ask for Bethany
Engineering - ask for Carter
Building - 961-8331 ask for Neil Erickson / insp is Doris, of course Warren Lee is the dept head.
DLNR - Andy Bohlander
SOH Dept of Health - Jerry Chang in Hilo
The road access has been blocked on 4 occasions since Oct 2011 - 4 concrete pours, 2 on each property. Since the roads are private, it is not required to provide access to the tide pools on one specific road. There was access from the other side of Waiopae Rd to the tide pool parking. We are required by the MLCD to provide 16 spaces but those spaces do not have to be right in front of the tide pools. There was overflow parking on Kapoho Kai where it meets Waiopae Rd and then people had to walk about 300 ft on the concrete pour days. There is also parking allowed out by the mailboxes but then you have to walk about 600 ft.
Just FYI to everyone: If you have a complaint, do not express outrage to the VHCA, or the other residents of Vacationland. The complaints need to go to the departments mentioned above.
As for the setbacks being legal, the setback issue is again part of the Planning Dept's kuleana. The property pins are marked and visible last time I checked. Planning Dept is supposed to check those items. There has been some question recently (besides you OLG) if the setbacks met the requirements. I have no idea what was decided. These lots have 15 ft setbacks on the front, and either deck or overhang (but not both) can encroach 1/2 the distance or 5' which ever is less. The side setbacks are 8' and have the same requirements. The building height must be less than 35' on average across the roof. I do not know if Plan Dept differentiates between median and average.
On the road - The optical illusions is that the "road" is set in what is grassy areas next to the pavement in other parts of the neighborhood. The right of way is 40' from the property owners pins across the "road/parking" to the other side. IMHO much of the other side is not utilized as parking. But it would require grading to make it more usable. I also am opposed to the parking as it is. It is difficult to main the fire dept's minimum of 20' clear.
This is the same group that wants to park a container... in front of our rental property. I am deferring to the wishes of the board on this one.
ETA: Deleting just the frustration parts expressed.

Kat; In my opinion you have gone above and beyond on the access issue, I really don't know how you ended up having to respond to all the complaint, but a big Mahalo Nui Loa for all your efforts.[

RE: Container Parking - Orchidlandguy - 02-06-2012
Kat,
Thank you for all the information. Hope you didn't see it as any complaint. I just wanted to know what was going on there and since you seem to be in the know, thought I's ask you.
I was there on Friday and the road was blocked and no parking access so maybe it was a pour day.
The house does seem real close to parking spaces and doesn't seem there would be room for fire trucks to go by if there were parked cars.
Thanks for the explainations.
and a BIG HURRAY for the porta pots.
