1952-02 the Club and Waikiki THE CLUB AND W AIKIKI, JULY-DECEMBER, 1925 By Edwin North McClellan (Continued from January Issue) The year 1925 was one of construction for both the Club and Waikiki. The Outrigger Canoe Club filled up The Lagoon, moved the big Pavilion from the Beach to about 150 feet from Kalakaua Avenue, and constructed new bathhouses. Creation of the new Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Gardens started but they were not opened until 1927. The Old Seaside, with its traditions and memories, were gone forever, though the name was retained for the cottages moved to mauka of Kalakaua Avenue. However, in 1925 only a vivid imagination could envision Waikiki as competing with downtown Honolulu as a business area. But with the erection of the Royal Hawaiian, there were some of us who saw Waikiki’s Kalakaua Boulevard as the Fifth Avenue, the Chestnut Street, or the Rue de la Paix, of Honolulu. Busi­ ness remained away from Waikiki; there was no Waikiki Shopping Center and there were no theatres.

    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WAIKIKI BEACH MAINTENANCE Honolulu, Hawaii May 2010 Prepared for: State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, HI 96813 Prepared by: Sea Engineering, Inc. Makai Research Pier Waimanalo, HI 96795 SEI Job No. 25172 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) WAIKIKI BEACH MAINTENANCE, HONOLULU, HAWAII Description of the Proposed Action The project site is located on Waikiki Beach, along the shoreline of Mamala Bay on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The shoreline proposed for beach maintenance extends approximately 1,700 linear feet from the west end of the Kuhio Beach crib walls to the existing groin between the Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikiki hotels. Since 1985 the shoreline has been chronically eroding and receding at an average annual rate of 1.5 feet. The purpose of the project is to restore and enhance the recreational and aesthetic benefits provided by the beach, as well as maintaining lateral access along the shore. The proposed project will include the following primary components: The recovery of up to 24,000 cubic yards (cy) of sand from deposits located 1,500 to 3,000 feet offshore in a water depth of about 10 to 20 feet. Pumping the sand to an onshore dewatering site to be located in an enclosed basin within the east Kuhio Beach crib wall. Transport of the sand along the shore and placement to the design beach profile. The removal of two old deteriorated concrete sandbag groin structures located at the east end of the project area.

Located at Waikīkī’s west side, the retail development will being enhanced vitality to the heart of Honolulu’s recreational center. In immediate proximity of Ft. DeRussy, the prominent retail storefronts of Kalākaua Avenue, Lewers Street and the new Trump Tower, this project will contribute to an emerging trend of redevelopment that defines a key gateway experience for Honolulu’s most active pedestrian district. 280 Beach Walk will add 31,500 square feet of world-class, lifestyle retail program. Pedestrians will be greeted by a building composed of a series of two-story storefronts, each accentuated by a dramatic glazed-tile roof form that recalls the street-oriented building traditions of Hawai‘i’s earliest places of commerce. 280 Beach Walk will be the first LEED certified retail complex in Waikīkī. The thoughtful design is based on a pedestrian model that brings people landscaping and the build environment together in balance. Energy and water conservations, reduced pollution and low environmental impact materials have all been considered in the design which incorporates some of the following features: rooftop solar photovoltaic panels, state-of-the-art irrigation system, water-efficient fixtures, energy efficient HVAC systems that avoid harmful refrigerants.., low VOC emitting materials bike racks with tenant changing room and shower and land-use efficient underground parking. The Waikīkī Neighborhood Board unanimously supported the 280 Beach Walk project.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, HONOLULU DISTRICT FORT SHAFTER, HAWAII 96858-5440 September 21, 2020 SUBJECT: Standard Individual Permit Modification for Waikiki Beach Nourishment and Maintenance Project, DA File No. POH-2009-00345 Samuel J. Lemmo Administrator State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands Kalanimoku Building 1151 Punchbowl Street, Room 131 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Mr. Lemmo: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District (Corps) received a letter dated August 12, 2020 from your agent, Sea Engineering, Inc., requesting to modify Department of the Army (DA) Permit No. POH-2009-00345. Your request proposes to increase the volume of sand that would be dredged from previously designated ocean recovery areas, pumped and transported via pipeline, and placed on Waikiki Beach between the Royal Hawaiian groin and Kuhio Beach stub groin. The purpose of the Waikiki Beach Nourishment and Maintenance project is to establish and maintain a reasonable beach width that supports recreational opportunities for the public. As you know, the original DA permit was issued on April 29, 2011 and authorized the initial beach nourishment using 24,000 cubic yards (cy) of sand that was hydraulically pumped from nearshore borrow areas onto Kuhio Beach Park for dewatering prior to placement on Waikiki Beach. The DA permit also authorized a subsequent sand re- nourishment event to maintain the beach width (position) that was established by the initial project implemented in 2012. Based upon projected beach recession rates at the time of the DA permit issuance, sand re-nourishment was estimated to be needed at Year 10 and would require the placement of 12,000 cy of additional sand to account for natural beach recession.
