2. Ng mentioned on an old problem during the last big accident where the police block off the road at Kaukonahua and Wilikina and it causes such a traffic jam. Why don’t they put up the blockage at Kamehameha Highway and Wilikina; Lt. Beerman would bring the comment up to his superiors.

Map out escape routes. Designate a location outside of the house where everyone can meet. Know where the closest phone is located to call 911.

Questions, answers and comments followed:

1.       Leinau was intrigued in the number of medical responses and understands that fire fighters are now trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and felt that they warrant a higher pay. In response, Capt. Noyes said this talk has gone on for years, and HFD is more receptive now and are more EMT qualified.

2.       Thomas Shirai would like HFD to consider the use of cell phones and cigarette smoking at the bus stop near the Aloha gas station that essentially could cause a fire that may blow up the gas station. He hopes that something can be done to fix this problem and perhaps HFD could lobby for some change. Capt. Noyes replied with uncertainty of what HFD can do, but he will look into it. Chair Pahinui will bring this up to Council Chair Dela Cruz.

HFD was thanked for attending the meeting

U.S. ARMY 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION: Maj. Greg Baker reported on: 1) less planes in the air and in three weeks there should be no planes for about 14 months. 2) Growth of the army goals is complete as far as personnel and that they expect 330 plus vehicle to come in. 3) Deployment to Afghanistan will continue through August.

Questions, answers and comments follows:

1.       There’s an understanding that the helicopters are not supposed to fly over residential areas, but lately there’s been many flying over Ranch Camp. Maj. Baker said if this is happening call Bill Roome at 655-2919.

2.       Gray commented that the black hawks were brought down from the Big Island to prepare the pilots for deployment. Contact Gray at 733-4244 with concerns.

3.       Pilots are told not to fly over residential areas and normally they don’t, but they are new and at times they might fly out of the zone, but the military will address this problem.

4.       Ng said sometimes flying over the North Shore can’t be helped but it is the sound of liberty and he don’t mind the noise, so keep flying.

RESIDENTS’ CONCERNS:

1.       Kalani Fronda 1) handed the letter to Scoville with the findings on the dirty water runoff at Chun’s Reef. 2) North Shore Sunset on the Beach, which is in partnership with Triple Crown event, will kick off the season starting November 12 and 13. The major sponsor is OP (Ocean Pacific).

2.       Scoville read the letter saying that an investigation of Laniakea and Chun’s Reef shore line determined that the dirty water runoff was an accumulation of the dirt picked up in the stream while it flowed down to the sea.

3.       Shirai added that there is a 500 foot clearance that planes have to fly over residential areas; and saw a C17 and a commercial plane flying below this height. What would happen if the plane crashed in the residential area? Shirai adds that you can also call Aircraft Noise and Complaint hotline at 836-6411.

4.       Judy Bramlett asked if the Board heard anything from the developer of Turtle Bay about the information that we were going to receive. Pahinui said that she would call Keith for that information.

5.       Lunasco felt perhaps Councilmember Dela Cruz might be able to assist with the bus stop shelter issue, since Department of Transportation Services (DTS) moved the bus stop from in front of the Waialua Library to in front of the gas station; and why have they not moved the shelter. Chair Pahinui said the bus driver still picks up passengers at the shelter but she will call DTS to find out.

ELECTED OFFICIALS:

Congressman Ed Case Representative - Jimmy Nakatani reported: Distributed two handouts: a) about the House passage of the port security bill to help guard against terrorism; and b) another that talked about immigration and who to reform; and was open for questions.

Robert Condon asked Nakatani to define the meaning of family in the handout of immigration. Nakatani will look into the definition as it relates, but the main issue is that we get control of the immigration system itself.

Jimmy Nakatani was thanked for attending the meeting.

Mayor’s Representative - Alenka Remec reported: 1) The North Shore Outdoor Circle (NSOC) memory of the agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). DPR appreciates all of the time that the NSOC has spent volunteering to maintain the bikeway. DPR will take over the maintenance of the Ke Ala Pupukea Bike Path. We are not funded nor do we have the staff to do this, but we will do our best to maintain it. Our first project will be to clear and mulch a minimum of three feet on each site of the paved bikeway. This is to provide a clear line of sight for cyclist and pedestrians. A clear line of sight is necessary to ensure that cyclist and pedestrians using the bikeway can see each other to avoid a collision. DPR will schedule the OCCC Inmate Task Force to begin this project and anticipates that work will begin in May 2006. We will have our Division of Urban Forestry examine the trees and those trees that are safe will remain. The OCCC Inmate Task Force will also be used for routine maintenance that is anticipated each quarter. 2) DPR is researching various suitable methods of eliminating the chickens in the park. DPR is open to ideas on how to catch the estimated 60-80 feral chickens. The treatment for fleas and mites is pending the removal of the fowls. Mokuleia Beach Park currently is closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Unfortunately, park closure or camping rules at Mokuleia are not enforced. In light of the recent one month long enforcement of the Ala Moana closure, DPR has had numerous requests to enforce no camping rules at parks island-wide. At this time, we have not committed to resources to enforce at Mokuleia.

Questions, answers, and comments:

1. Philips inquired about: a) the four ashbins that were purchased to be place at the beach parks for ash disposals; and when are they going to be placed in the parks. b) Some new lifeguard towers have been located somewhere near Rock Piles to replace the old towers. The lifeguard towers are very old and can easily be pushed over; and she is wandering when they will it be removed; Remec will look into it.

2. At the Sunset Beach Community Association (SBCA) meeting, a question was raised regarding beach access to Velzyland being denied due to the lack of a lifeguard station. Leinau said this posed another question of what is the criteria, since other beaches that don’t have lifeguards, still have beach access. Remec would need to look into it with DPR.

3. Pam Mills-Packo called the Army Corp of Engineers, to do a trial test by putting mulch on California grass, but was told they needed to get a permit. Mills-Packo asked whether the Outdoor Circle or anyone else are required to get permits and is the permitting done through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Remec understands that the department did all the work. Remec also, did not know of anyone else who might have gotten those permits.
4. Scoville said out at Chun’s Reef there’s some activity going on with a skip loader or bulldozer making a path through a vacant lot, the Wedgetail Shearwater nesting area, and tearing down some fencing, signs and perhaps killed some birds. No one seems to know why this is being done or who gave the permission; and, who is Kathy Vega, who somehow seem be involved. Remec will have to look into this inquiry.

5. Meade commented on the feral chickens, and couldn’t help but think of Laie and Kauai because they had the same problem too. The community gave out chicken pens to people who wanted and that’s how they caught the chickens.

6. Ng was concerned that the Waialua Lions Club has had its annual Memorial Day Service at Haleiwa Beach Park for the past six years. Normally, there’s no difficulty getting the permits and are usually able to get it within two weeks. However, this year it took over two months. Ng expressed much frustration with the administrative bureaucracy and would like a change in the procedure to avoid any long delays. Remec would look into this problem.

7. Lyons just received notice that the city is going to repair the Waialua gym, thanks to Councilmember Dela Cruz’s office. The project is going to cost $500,000 - $600,000 to repair.

Alenka Remec was thank for attending the meeting

Board of Water Supply (BWS) - George Kuo: 1) followed-up on a concern from two months ago – that the water main on Awai Lane warrants the need to be serviced; thanks to Board member Awai for bringing up the concern. 2) There will be a water rate increase of 13% starting from $1.77 to $2.00 starting in Oct 1^st. Also, there will be an increase yearly, July 2007 to $2.24 rising to $2.79 in July 2010. These raises are not automatic they will be voted on every year.

Questions, Answers, and Comments

1. Awai asked when the price will go high for the amount of water that you use. In response the first 13,000 gallons are at regular price of $2.00 per thousand gallons, 13,001-30,000 goes up to $2.40 per thousand gallons and 30,001 and over will go up to $3.59 per thousand gallons.

2. Chair Pahinui points out that this information can be found on the internet at www.boardofwatersupply.com or www.hbws.com

3. Gora wants to know if there is a decline rate for those who save water. In response there is no declining rate only the first 13,000 gallon rate.

4. Lyons asked is there a method for people who share one meter; and how this would affect them. In response you can call the Board of Water Supply and they can come out and see if they can give you a separate meter.

George Kuo is thanked for attending the meeting

Councilmember Donovan Dela Cruz – Councilmember Dela Cruz highlighted on: 1) the reorganization of Council Committees: Ann Kobayashi - Budget Chair, Charles Djou - Zoning Chair, Donovan Dela Cruz - Council Chair, Rod Tam - Economic Development, Todd Apo - Affordable Housing and Inter-governmental Affairs, Romy Cachola Transportation and Planning, and Barbara Marshall Public Works and Energy. This new committee line up begins Thursday, May 25, 2006. 2) Budget Committee hearing is set for Thursday, May 25, 2006. He is encouraging support to fund some of the North Shore projects. 3) North Shore Chamber of Commerce is scheduled to meeting with the Mayor regarding improvements in Haleiwa Town. Because the Waialua Master Plan was so successful, there are plans to duplicate same idea. So they are asking for $20,000 to start this plan. 4) Bill 49 - requires the inventory and inspection of city owned streets. This will allow the department to enter and clear the streams in light of an emergency. This bill already passed second reading. 5) Bill 7 - deletes the maximum floor area for ohana zoning; now you can add on more area to your home and not be restricted to 700 square feet. 6) Bill 17 - passed third reading will waive vehicle weight text of buses that will be used as homeless shelters. 7) Resolution 06-119 - asked that the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) start the process for Land Use Ordinance (LUO) change in providing flexibility in land use density to encourage development for affordable rental housing projects. 8) Introduced was Resolution 06-173 - urging DPP to amend Ordinance 86-99 asking that the standard be updated to today’s standard. 9) Cesspool retrofitting text phase – for small apartment buildings or duplex (for 60-days after the bill passed); one already passed for single family homes. 10) There is real property tax relief for people affected by the floods in March and April there is a form that you need fill out. Log onto: www.honolulu.gov/rpa/form/hpdm for the form.

Questions, answers, and comments:

1. Leinau want to know about the situation where the Corporation Council is keeping everything quiet and he feels entitled to know what is going on. In response, Councilmember said that resolution 06-173 was passed to ask the DPP to strictly enforce their standards and when Corporation Council heard about that they got upset that City Council went ahead. Corporation Counsel felt this would really impact the City’s liability. Corporation Counsel sent a strict memo stating that the Council needs to let the litigation become finalized before further discussing these matters.   

2. Phillips say that it appears to be that Corporation Council is protecting DPP’s right to issue permit by there standard and your resolution seem to be the complete opposite. If it does have to go through the litigation why does the permitting process still move forward when you can’t take any type action while in litigation. Councilmember indicated that the department is part of the administration and perhaps the Mayor’s representative can take back this concern back to the Corporation Counsel. Mayor’s representative Remec explained that the department is following their process, but the difference is that the City is being sued and there is the issue; so following through with the permitting process is not against the law.

3. Shirai stated: 1) Thank Dela Cruz for his effort on the eminent domain for the people in Kahuku. What Shirai found unique is that no one said anything except, Angel Ramos, when talked about the graveyard. 2) Act 45 - this year helped those who drew up their archeological survey plan and if they didn’t follow the plan, they could be charged with civil penalties. He agreed with this for historical place but the two grave yards can be put on the historical register. 3) Regarding the graffiti wall resolution, he was not in favor because the tax payer’s money can be put to better use doing other things; also it takes the police away from having to do surveillance. There are other ways to handle this matter such as increasing the fines and making parents responsible for their kids’ actions. 4) Councilmember would be happy to see Bill 49 pass second reading. Councilmember tells that the graffiti resolution was created by Councilmember Charles Djou and this was to give the people an area so that if they want to paint they could with out getting in trouble. Also they took away probation to make things more difficult.

4. Ng likes Bill 49 and thinks that this will help with flood control purposes and will help with the clean up of the streams and the cesspool.

5. How can a change occur with the Land Use Ordinance (LUO)? The only way it can change is only if DPP chooses. All the City council can do is pass a resolution asking them to take care of it but they don’t have to if they don’t want. It is up to DPP when they want to start the project.

Councilmember Dela Cruz was thank for attending the meeting

Governor's Representative - Brig. Gen. Gary Ishikawa reported: 1) Thank Chair Pahinui for all the hard work that it has done for the board and tell her it was a pleasure to work with her. 2) This month is military appreciation month with many activity going on throughout the month, he would also like to send `his aloha out to all the people in Hawaii for there great support. 3) There was an offline issue dealing with the large pothole at Twin Ridge Road which the Department of Transportation took care of very quickly within 24hrs. 4) The issue about recycling was answer in an email from Larry Lawn and it says that it is not covered by law that the Department of Health does not require that recycle companies to pay that money to consumer. Aluminum, glass, and plastic are the three you can recycle and the people do it and there own leisure. 5) Three month ago the Director of the Department of Transportation came out, he handy out a hand out and Question 4 was not answer and that was about the rock litigation issue. To summarize rock litigation at Waimea Bay heading towards design on a six year plan with designs coming available in 2008. 6) He Has not gotten an answer on the crosswalk but will keep on this problem. 7) The sand mining incident is that they are going to draft a letter of apology for the director sign and send to the Oahu Burial Council.

Questions, answers, and Comments

1. The issue about recycling is before you use to make the money off of the people turning it in and then the recycling companies then exchange it themselves. But now they are making more money but charging use an extra $.01 on every can. Now we are getting ripped off on both sides. In response the $.01 does not go to them but to administrative cost but you are right before you use to get the full price of the recycling idem.
2. Lunasco complained about the difficulties with trying to get a hold of somebody in the department and can’t believe that this is the way they do business. In response if you can call me it will give you to my secretary.

3. Also please send a copy of this letter to Mr. Shirai of the Oahu Burial Council Apology.

4. Leinau would like to know if you have anything writing about the Waimea project and if he could he that info. In response Ishikawa will get to him the written information.

5. Lunasco is the governor going to propose a change in the recycle items prices. In response he will send an email to the governor expressing their feeling.

Brig. Gen. Gary Ishikawa was thanked for attending the meeting.

NEW BUSSINESS:

Haleiwa Jodo Mission request for the use of Alii Beach Park for parking during their annual Lantern Parade June 16^th 6pm-10pm and 17^th 5:30pm-11pm - Ken Masatsuga, President representing the Haleiwa Jodo Mission, said they have been doing this tradition since the 1970. Leinau asked why when the Triple Crown asked for this same opportunity they were turn down and he just wondering in the interest of fairness why is this being allowed. In response it was the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) that told them no, but we will look into it. Also Chair Pahinui wanted to send this concern to DPR. Mr. Ng moved that the Neighborhood Board summit a written letter in support of the use of Alii Beach Park for the Haleiwa Jodo Mission for the use of parking on the grass. Phillips seconded. Motion carried by Unanimous consent.

PRESENTATION:

Waialua Town Master Plan Update – Jenny Vierra, President of Friends for Waialua Town and George William gave a brief presentation. Chair Pahinui announces the plan won an award from the Local Chapter of Community Board Planning.

Jenny Vierra started with thanking the Board and residents for all the help they received. In 1996 when concerned residents wanted to know about what is to be done with the shut down of the Waialua Sugar Company these concerns were sent to the elected officials but was told that they could do nothing without some kind of plan. In 1997 a resolution was established to support a Waialua Town Master Plan. They were four other plans but Waialua Town Master Plan was finally started in 2002. The Preferred Plan for the Waialua area was a compilation of the major concerns and concept theories, particularly those with the greatest community acceptance.

In summary, the current setting of vacant agricultural lands in the surrounding the Waialua town center will transition to a more rural residential character. There will be new agricultural research, town center and community will be connected to the ocean through a greenbelt park, rural character will be retained by roadways, and landscaping beautification to the roads. So that in twenty years when more people start living in their area they will still feel the historic agricultural community.

Questions, answers, and comments

1. Leinau asked what is the definition of “lodge” and “residential rural development” in your hand out. Vierra replied that that these term were the terms of the people with the concerns and what they are trying to do is keep as much community input as possible. Chair Leinau also added that everything in this plan is still subject to change and to comment on.

Jenny Vierra and George William was thanked for the presentation

Kaiaka Bay Watershed Participatory Assessment and Action Project – Dr. Russell Yost and Dan Gora gave the following presentation. Gora from the Haleiwa Community Gardens Association reed a letter to Donovan Dela Cruz asking that they support the request for these funds to initiate grudging plans for the streams in the area of Haleiwa. Also, they ask the City to transfer funds to UH so their staff can expand and focus flood prevention needs.

Gora asked that the Board motion to support this letter. Chair Pahinui said there could be no motion on this subject because she was not informed that action was to be made and this will be breaking the Sunshine Law rules.

Dr. Yost reports that there are two project titles first is the A participatory Assessment and Action Approach To Environmental Protection of Coastal In-Fill Areas. They will be requesting grants from the government of $300,000 for this three-year plan. Goals are to develop or “in-fill” environmentally sensitive coastal lands for the residential, commercial and agricultural uses.

The second project is Demonstrating Watershed Participatory Assessment and Action, which has already been funded with a grant of $468,903 for a one-year project. The goal is that the Kaiaka Bay Watershed, resident agency, business and community members will use the Watershed Participatory Assessment and Action (WPAA), to reduce non-point source pollution and related flooding, sedimentation, waste and other health and safety concerns.

Questions, answers, and comments

1.   Leinau Said that he like the letter Gora has written but he wants some clarification on how much and is the city just suppose to give University of Hawaii thousands of dollars and don’t know what project its for. Mr. Leinau is just curious about the rest of the story. Dr. Yost answered that the main thing between the inter agency working together is the ability for them to help the city with things they don’t have time for from his experience the city has many day to day problems that they are trying to solve.

2. Chair Lockwood asked that the money they would be giving you will allow you do thing that the City is unable to do. Dr. Yost said yes that question.

3. Lunasco concerned about the corporation with our legislator and unless you can get them behind this plan and if they don’t then we will just be throwing away good money. Dr Yost replied that they don’t have a real answer to that but they are trying to work as best they can to get a solution.

4. Philips thanked them for taking on this problem. Just want to encourage them to not to give up because there have been many projects like this but they get quickly buried.

The presenters were thanked for coming.

Burger Property Development LLC / Kawailoa – Chester Koga, R.M. Towill gave the following presentation. The project area that they are looking at is about seven acres this property has been own by the Burger Family for many years and was put in a family trust. Now the Children decided that they want to do something with this land so what they are proposing is that they take seven acres and sub-divide it into 26 properties ranging of 7,500 square feet to 13,000+ square feet. Currently there are four houses on this property. The plan is to destroy the houses and then sub-divide. They would sell 22 of the properties keeping 4 properties for themselves. The road that would have to be built will be built to standard.

The reason that they need to come before the Neighborhood Board is because about 75% of the property is in a Special Management Area and that they would need a Special Management Area permit from the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) to proceed. DPP has asked them to come before the Neighborhood Board to get their recommendation on the project. If you have any question you can call Koga at 842-1133.

Questions, answers, and comments

1. Guest asked before anything is done has there been an environmental impact study done in this area because there will be a lot of traffic going through there with each house having two cars, and what kind of safety procedure are being taken. Koga replied that the standard road will have the regular safety precaution as any regular road but will be open for suggestions. The guest also asked if they have gotten a solution for the drainage problem that may occur. Koga replied that they will take the precaution and there are some types of drainage now. The guest also asked if there was an archeological study done to see what exist in the seven acres because she does believe that there is a Heiau. Koga said that he thinks that nothing is there but will look into. Pahinui also added that you should do an archeological survey because it would be a shame if you did all this work and all of a sudden you have to stop because you found something.

2. Lunasco asked what the prices of the lots to be sold? Koga’s response noted they have not talked about a price range yet.

3. Lyons asked what is the length of the road? Koga answered that it will be 50-feet long, 12-feet wide on each side of the paved road and 4-feet on each side for sidewalks.

4    Shirai suggested they do an archeological survey of the area beyond the heiau.

5.   Awai asked that the project mentioned the destruction of four houses, what is to happen to the people living in them and do they have any relationship with the Burger Family. Koga Answers that they are mostly renters and he does not know of any relationship to the Burger Family.

6. Bramlett had two questions: a) regarding the traffic problem that it will create because of the turning into the lane to get to the house, it looks like there will be a traffic problem and that they would need to build a third lane so it won’t slow down traffic. Koga b) What about the wastewater of each property. She hopes they are doing a survey for each property to find out what will happen. Koga replies before anything can be approved the Department of Health will go in and the wastewater is one of the requirements, one option is to put a small treatment plant to handle this problem. J. Brainlett also asked would all the utilities under ground. Koga yes by law.

7. Meade just asked that you keep the board informed on the out comes of this project.

8. Guest has a real problem with the run-off issue and to keep it in mind.

Chair Pahinui thanked Koga for attending.
