Honolulu Rail Transit Project (HRTP): Harry Cho of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART): HART NOVEMBER 2020 Report: Construction Progress: The full 20-mile, 21 station rail system is 58.8% complete.  West Oahu Stations Group (Kualaka’i, Keoneae, Hono’ulu’uli) is 98% complete.  Farrington Highway Stations Group (Ho’ae’ae, Pouhala, Halaulani) is 99% complete.  Kamehameha Highway Stations Group (Waiawa, Kalauao, Halawa) is 96% complete.  Kamehameha Highway resurfacing is 99% complete  Airport Guide way and Stations Group (Makalapa, Lelepaua, Ahua, Kahauiki) is 77% complete  City Center Utilities Relocation (CCUR) is 6.5% complete. Dillingham Corridor Status: HART has notified area residents and businesses of the removal of controlled access (traffic controls, cones, directional signage) along Dillingham Boulevard between Laumaka Street and Mokauea Street. The controlled access is being removed as HART further develops its utility relocation design plans. HART’s contractor, Nan, Inc., is returning the roadway and pedestrian walkways to a full level of service including the removal of steel plates,

Oahu’s Neighborhood Board system – Established 1973 AIEA NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 20 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2020 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES PAGE 2 OF 7

backfill of holes and levelling of surfaces. Business/residential sidewalk and pedestrian access will return to full functionality. Some measures may be temporary (asphalt vs. concrete). Traffic lane striping will be renewed as required, and HART will maintain the corridor until construction resumes. When construction resumes, controlled access will be reinstated. Please note ongoing work will continue along Kamehameha Highway between Middle Street and Laumaka Street for Airport Guide way and Stations work. Public-Private Partnership (P3) Update: While the City has withdrawn from the P3 procurement for the City Center section, HART has decided not to immediately cancel the procurement and to weigh options on how best to move forward, take the time to conduct post-proposal meetings with our P3 bidders who not only stayed with us during the entire process, but examined every foot of the City Center section and determine how best to proceed. With this approach, HART plans to conclude a professional analysis and make recommendations to the HART Board as well as the City Administration on whether there was a viable path forward with respect to P3 proposals. HART envisions these decisions will be made in early November so the City and HART can move forward and address concerns and requirements of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The next HART board meeting is anticipated to be scheduled for Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. Contact: For more information, please visit the HART website at www.honolulutransit.org. You can also call the HART 24-hour project hotline at (808) 566-2299, or email a question to [email protected].

Questions and comments followed: 1. Final Design: Board member Fitch asked what the final design plans are for barriers in the median strip throughout Kamehameha Highway to prevent jay walking. Fitch noted that presently there is only a chain link fence. Cho will follow up with HART’s design and construction team. 2. Landscaping: Claire Tamamoto (ACA) noted the community was told that the median was supposed to have landscaping similar to the median along Farrington Highway in Waipahu with trees, green space and hedges. Cho noted he will follow up and report back.

BOARD BUSINESS

Update of Resolution 19-136, CD1 - Approving an Application for a Plan Review Use (PRU) Permit for the Relocation of Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) to Halawa – Bettina Mehnert recapped the mile stones from 2016 until present to answer concerns from residents at the Monday, October 12, 2020 Aiea Neighborhood Board meeting. Mehnert noted the project started in 2016 with the site selection process, then the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which was published and was formally accepted by Governor Ige and the project is now in Phase 2 where the PRU was approved. The project is now working on a number of engineering studies and continuing discussions with others such as the public transportation providers that was started previously. The business case analysis has started in this phase. The estimated timeline for this project is heavily dependent on financing which where it is right now along with the design phase. The third phase is construction and if everything goes along as it is planned then the facility could be in use by 2025. Mehnert referred to a previous question about the number of beds and noted the answer varies because of the different types of beds and how it is rated. Mehnert also noted a question about financing and gave different scenarios of the financing methods which can be used. Mehnert noted the operation of the facility will always remain under the State of Hawaii. Mehnert noted that all of the scenarios are geared to what makes the most sense for the State.

Update of the Aloha Stadium Redevelopment Project–Act 268 – Christine Kinimaka (DAGS), Josh Smead (NASED) Option B: Kinimaka reported that NASED is doing their due diligence throughout the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) process and detailed the community outreach they have completed.

Smead detailed the three (3) roundtable community meetings they have had in the last year and noted the community’s desire for transparency. Smead noted that their programmatic EIS has been greatly influenced by the community’s input and stated their desire to garner as much regional input as possible. Smead noted that there are plans for an amphitheater. Smead noted the plan to utilize multi-modal transportation. Smead asked that the public read and provide comment on their programmatic EIS. Kinimaka noted their plans to mix density with open space. For more information, visit the NASED website at http://nased.hawaii.gov/.

Proposed changes to the Development Agreement, Resolution No. 14-030, CD-1 for Live, Work, Play Aiea Development at 98-850 Moanalua Road (Old Kam Drive-In): Stanford Carr and Michael Wright. The Village Waihono at Kalauao Project – Stanford Carr did a power point presentation that showed the original approved site plan of six (6) towers which included a tower with proposed office and hotel use, then noted they are eliminating the 6th tower all together in order to have more open space and on-grade parking which will also increase the flow of vehicular traffic internally. They are now proposing five (5) residential towers targeted to a AIEA NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 20 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2020 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES PAGE 3 OF 7

spectrum of household sizes and incomes that straddle the housing ladder; Tower 1 will be 100 % all rentals serving households earning from the very low income 30% Area Median Income (AMI) which is a single person earning $26,000 yearly who would pay $650 per month rent to households earning 50%-60% up to 100% AMI. They shall commit to maintain the proposed affordability for a period of 65 years. Tower 2 will be targeted to first time home buyers earning between 100%AMI- 140% AMI. Tower 5 next to Safeway on the Makai end of the site adjacent to Kaonohi Street will be a moderate priced condos very similar to their recently completed Keauhou Place community in Kaka’ako along South, Halekauwila and Pohukaina Streets. This tower will target households earning 120% AMI and above. Phase II will consist of Tower 3 & 4 which will flank a 33,000 square foot community park, Tower 3 will be priced similar in nature to Tower 2 for moderately priced condos and Tower 4 will be semi-luxury condos. There will be two (2) main entries; the Mauka entry will be located along Moanalua Road directly across the mauka entry to Pearlridge Community Park which will be a fully signalized intersection. The second main entry will be a fully signalize intersection along Kaonohi Street on the Makai portion of the site, just above the existing Kentucky Fried Chicken drive in. A third ingress and egress entry will be located on the Mauka portion of Kaonohi Street just adjacent to the new Safeway store and below the gas station, a limited right in and right out movement will be allowed heading makai on a newly constructed dedicated south bound lane on Kaonohi Street due to the road widening of Kaonohi Street with an additional Makai bound lane and two (2) dedicated bike lanes (Mauka and Makai bound) they have designed a grade separated pedestrian walkway along the embankment of the hillside fronting Kaonohi Street fronting the Village, with a pedestrian overpass bridge over the Makai entry of the community. There will be three (3) additional commercial pads identified and R1, R2 and R3 of which R3 will be a Chick-fil-a. The ground floors of Tower 1 through 5 will have neighborhood commercial services and retail to serve the community and all parking structures shall be lined with townhouse and apartments that shield the garage so that you are viewing architecture in lieu of monolithic parking structures (much like Keauhou Place and Lane along the block of Keawe, Pohukaina, and South Streets in their Kaka’ako community). Michael Wright noted that his team is working on the retail shopping center portion of the project which will include exciting shopping and dining opportunities for the entire Aiea community. Wright noted the building a new Safeway grocery store with a fueling station and convenience store, a drive-thru Chick-fil-a and other retail and food venues. Wright noted ample parking for the project with a sensible traffic flow in and out of the property and convenient pedestrian paths to the stores for the residents. Carr noted that they are working with Aiea Kupuna to research the Mo’olelo of the Ahupua’a of Kalauao to correctly reflect the spirit of the community in this project.

Questions and comments followed: 1. Parking: Harbor Pointe resident Stephen DiRico asked if it would be possible for some residents in his complex be able to use the retail parking spaces overnight with a permit when the stores are closed to compensate for on-street parking that will be lost when this project is built. Carr noted they will like to have that discussion. 2. Land Use: Board member Dwyer noted that Stanford Carr Development LLC is a member of the Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii. 3. Traffic Changes: Board member Tsuji asked for an explanation of the changes such as adding new traffic signals. Carr noted several changes recommended by engineers to improve the traffic around the project. 4. Reflectivity: Father Daniel Leatherman noted his concern about reflectivity from the glass used in the towers generating heat in the late afternoon affecting St. Timothy’s Church which has a Senior Day Care center. Carr noted the glass planned for the towers will not be highly reflective and needs to retain a 50% heat gain and named other projects that uses the same type of glass as an example. 5. View: Harbor Pointe resident Arlene Beckman noted that her unit is very close to Tower 3 and asked what view she will have from her home. Carr noted there is a 30 foot setback with a pedestrian walkway with screened landscaping along the Ewa portion of the project and parking with screened grill work in a tapa design on the structure. 6. Sustainability: Board member Moriwaki asked what sustainable or eco-friendly features this project will use. Carr noted solar panels for hot water, photovoltaic panels and are looking into possibly reusing water, such as storm drain and gray water to use for irrigation purposes. 7. Contact: Vice Chair Sugimura noted a meeting with the Lelepono Condo owners and the original developers when the project was first proposed regarding the height of the towers and asked if anyone of the new developers has reached out to Lelepono yet, noting there are changes to the original plans that may affect the view plane. Carr noted they have not reached out to anyone else yet because it was requested to be presented at the Aiea Neighborhood Board No. 20 first where they are introducing the modifications but will contact the Lelepono Condo owners.

8:38 p.m. Chair Clark gave the Gavel to Vice Chair Sugimura

8. Robinson Properties: Chair Clark noted a meeting held in 2014 by Robinson Properties that explained to the community what the plans were for this project. Chair Clark noted in 2018, the project did not go forward because of costs and infrastructure reasons. Chair Clark noted his concerns about the traffic flow from the proposed driveway and the height changes of the towers which affect the Lelepono Condo owners and also requested that Carr meets with the affect parties in the area. Carr noted that they are planning to reach out to the Lelepono within the next month and assured Chair Clark that Carr Development has always engaged the community.

8:42 p.m. Chair Clark retrieved the gavel from Vice Chair Sugimura

9. Outreach: Vice Chair Sugimura noted that she could reach out to Pearl Ridge Elementary School to possibly use the school as a meeting site. 10. Several Concerns: Resident DiRico noted his unit is close to the driveway and is concerned about noise from trash collection trucks early in the morning. DiRico also noted his concern with the new buildings blocking the morning sun and affecting the trade wind flow to his complex and asked if another EIS will be done with the proposed changes. DiRico also asked if their Association could get a copy of the power point presentation to present to the homeowners who could not attend tonight’s meeting and a meeting with Stanford Carr to discuss the project’s changes that will affect their neighborhood. Carr noted that they have always intended to reach out to the community after presenting it to Aiea Neighborhood Board No.20. 11. Alternative Meeting Site: Father Daniel noted that St. Timothy’s Church can be an alternate meeting site.

The Neighborhood Board System was established in 1973 by former Mayor Frank F. Fasi as a way to spur civic participation and engage with city government. Currently, there are 33 Neighborhood Boards across O‘ahu, which are comprised of 435 elected volunteer board members. Any O‘ahu resident who is 18 years of age can become a candidate. The Neighborhood Board Election will be held online from April 26, 2021 through May 21, 2021. For more information call 768- 3710 or visit www.honolulu.gov/NCO. Follow up from October 12, 2020:  Price: Board member Dwyer asked how the City arrived at the price for of the Pearlridge property Harbor Arms Hotel and Apartments. The tax assessment was $4 million and the City paid $10.5 million. Department of Land Management (DLM) response: The property was appraised by a professional appraiser. The appraiser employed a comparable sales analysis which indicated a market value of $11,580,000 and an income approach analysis which indicated a value of $9,465,000. Given both approaches the appraiser gave a final value indication of $10,525,000. The property includes 30 one and two bedroom units and was sold fully furnished.  Path: A board member noted that DFM cut a path in a preservation area between Hapaki Street and Kaahele Street along Komo Mai drive. How and why did they do that? Department of Design and Construction (DDC) response: Construction started earlier this year to repair the two 120” diameter corrugated metal pipes (CMP) culverts running under Komo Mai Drive, which had experienced significant section loss and voids in the subgrade due to scour. It was found during construction that the drainage ditch where the culvert exited was blocked with dirt and debris, severely restricting its drainage capacity during flood events. For public safety, permits and approvals were obtained from various government agencies to provide a temporary access road and to clear the drainage ditch, including approval from the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands. Consent to enter private property was granted by Newtown Estates Community Association to perform the additional work.

 Savings: Board member Beekman asked what the savings are for the Ala Moana LCD light project. DDC response: As previously reported, the LED lighting project at Ala Moana Regional Park started in February 2020. We analyzed the electricity bills for the park from January 2019 to October 2020. In the eight (8) months since the start of the project, the net electricity cost savings is approximately $20,000. This is less than half of the anticipated electricity cost savings. There are three (3) primary reasons for this. One is that we noticed substantial increases on the electricity usage for couple of the electric meters in the park. We are currently investigating the causes for these increases. The other reason is that during the course of the project, we repaired the underground electric circuits feeding several of the lights. These lights were not operational during the 2019 billing period. The third reason is that we also completed the air conditioning system replacement project at McCoy Pavilion. The air conditioning system in the pavilion has been out for several years. In addition to the electricity savings, Hawaii Energy will be giving the City an energy rebate in the amount of $43,062 for completing this project. This money will be used to offset the electricity bills at the park. We are also still evaluating the possibility of dimming the lights in certain areas of the park using the remote networked lighting control system. Reducing the light level where full light output is not needed will further reduce electricity costs at the park.  Final Meeting: Keith Ho noted that due to the change of City administration, this will probably be his final meeting as the Mayor’s Representative for the Aiea Neighborhood Board No. 20 and thanked the Board for their graciousness. Ho noted that he was born and raised in Halawa.
