2026-09-24 - Zoning & Planning

Summary

Based on manual (live) captions, in capital letters; names and figures may be misheard.

Kiaʻāina chaired with Waters, Tupola, Cordero and Dos Santos-Tam; Okimoto was excused. Resolution 26-171 was moved to the end of the agenda without objection. Most items drew no objection from members.
Resolution 26-183, a special management area major permit at Kawela Bay to demolish a house and build a new two-story single-family home outside the shoreline setback (roof overhangs need a minor shoreline structure permit) on an 11,591-square-foot lot. The applicant's planner said an earlier 2022 permit lapsed, the home was moved mauka for sea-level rise and erosion is about 0.08 feet a year. The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) supported it; no public testimony. Amended to a CD1 requiring sea-level-rise acknowledgements and pervious surfaces and reported out for adoption.
Resolution 26-207, amending the Pohukaina Commons approval in Kakaʻako (625 units, including four manager units). The developer cited electrical upgrades and an archaeological testing plan for needing more time to start Phase 1; a state housing finance corporation representative said the agency could support a five-year extension. Amendments added a whereas clause on financing uncertainty and changed the extension to 60 months; reported out for adoption.
East Kapolei transit-oriented development bills, all reported out for passage on third reading without objection: Bill 37 (reclassifying about 14.8 acres from state agricultural to state urban); Bill 38 (special district regulations; DPP met with the Department of Education and a homebuilder about school sites and undergrounding of utilities, and members asked about connectivity, parking and a lasting DPP letter); and Bill 39 CD1 (rezoning about 1,381 acres and 128 parcels around three rail stations, with bonus heights for community benefits). A transit riders group testified in support of Bill 38.
Bill 42 CD1, reclassifying the city's Laie base yard and refuse convenience center land from state agricultural to state urban: DPP supported it; reported out for third reading.
Bill 43 CD1, rezoning part of a Waialua Beach Road property from Country District to R5 Residential so existing dwellings (eight units, mostly nonconforming) conform; a unilateral agreement bars subdividing, and must be recorded before third reading. Waters asked whether neighboring Country-zoned cluster housing is also nonconforming, and DPP said that could be addressed in sustainable communities planning. No public testimony; reported out for third reading.
Bill 48 CD1, downtown pedestrian malls: adds a portion of Chaplain Lane to the Fort Street Mall, adds bicycle rules for the Fort Street, Sun Yat-sen and College Walk malls, and rewrites delivery and pickup provisions. One testifier and the Department of Transportation Services supported it. Amended to the posted CD1 and reported out for third reading.
Resolution 26-171, the 1588 Ala Moana interim planned development: the applicant proposes a 38-story hotel tower with 294 rooms, a 17-story residential tower with 136 market-rate for-sale homes, and a podium with 69 affordable rentals (about a third of 205 homes) at 80% of area median income, plus about 1,200 parking spaces and a bike-share station. A $5 million contribution for complete streets and a smaller urban forestry contribution were among the benefits (the exact tree figure is garbled in the captions). Applicant representatives and construction trades, business and union supporters cited roughly 6,000 construction jobs, about 800 permanent jobs and 34% affordability. Opponents, including Unite Here Local 5 members, a neighborhood board officer and a policy group representative, said the affordability levels are too high for local workers, benefits are arbitrary, traffic and parking would worsen, and past interim planned developments often did not deliver the promised housing (the group counted 7 approved but unbuilt projects with 1,567 homes). DPP supported it. Condition D2 was amended to delete its last sentence, leaving Atkinson Drive right-out only and Ala Moana Boulevard right-in. Reported out for adoption without objection.

36:18POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION AT ANY

36:19OF THESE STATIONS EITHER KEONE

36:24EYE, HONOULIULI, ANYWHERE.

36:26AN MOVING FORWARD, LOOK AT THE

36:28OTHER POSSIBLE STATIONS AS

36:32WELL.

36:32BECAUSE IF WE DON'T, I MEAN I

36:33THINK JUST DEVELOPMENT JUST

36:36ALWAYS INCLUDE PARKING

36:38REGARDLESS.

36:38ER THANK YOU.

36:40>>Testifier: YES.

36:41I TOTALLY AGREE.

36:43I THINK THE PURPOSE OF

36:44ELIMINATING THE MINIMUM

36:46REQUIREMENT FOR PARK WAS TO

36:48GIVE KIND OF TRANSITION PERIOD

36:50FOR DEVELOPERS TO UNDERSTAND

36:52THAT THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS

36:54BEING TRANSIT RICH OR INTENDED

36:56TO BE TRANSIT RICH

36:59NEIGHBORHOOD.

36:59AND AT THIS POINT, AT THE

37:00POINT THAT THAT WAS ADOPTED,

37:02IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO MOVE

37:03FORWARD WITH ANY SORT OF

37:05MAXIMUM.

37:06I THINK EVEN IF WE DON'T

37:08PURSUE MAXIMUM, OTHER

37:09MECHANISMS THAT WE CAN EXPLORE

37:11AND WE DO HAVE MASTER

37:13AGREEMENT CONTRACTS SET UP

37:14WITH PLANNING CONSULTANT THAT

37:15I DO INTEND TO UTILIZE TO LOOK

37:19AT THOSE OTHER TYPE OF TOOLS.

37:21WHETHER THAT BE COUNTING

37:23PARKING TOWARDS FLOOR AREA

37:26RATIO HAVING THEM ANALYZE WHAT

37:29THE DIFFERENT TYPES COULD BE

37:32AND SO FORTH. THIN, WE COULD

37:34ALSO STRENGTHEN THE PARKING

37:36RATIOS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED IN

37:39EACH T.O.D. PLAN.

37:41EL PROJECTS COME IN UNDER THE

37:44T.O.D. SPECIAL D DISTRICT NEED

37:50TO BE IN AGREEMENT.

37:53FINETUNED TAKE ON WHAT IS I

37:55GUESS DESIRED AND A

37:56APPROPRIATE FOR EACH

37:57NEIGHBORHOOD.

37:58CONSIDERING LIKE IT GOES FROM

38:00SUBURBAN TO ISSUE AN CONTEXT

38:01ALONG THE CORRIDOR. WE COULD

38:03MAYBE FINETUNE IT THAT WAY.

38:05NUMBER OF OPTION THAT I DO

38:07INTEND FOR US TO LOOK INTO AND

38:08MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT THAT TIME

38:10HOLISTICALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT

38:12SUCCESS OF THE T.O.D.

38:13>>Councilmember Cordero:

38:14THANK YOU. AND THEN ANOTHER

38:16MY ONE LAST QUESTION, IS I DID

38:19ASK BEFORE, IS RELATING TO

38:21COHESIVE PLANNING.

38:23RIGHT NOW, WE WOULD HAVE

38:27DEVELOPMENTS BUILDING WITH

38:30SILOSILO VERSUS CONNECTING TO

38:34ANOTHER, WALKWAYS TO ONE

38:35ANOTHER.

38:35WAY WE CAN HAVE A MASTER

38:37AGREEMENT OUTSIDE OF THESE

38:39ACTUAL T.O.D. PLANS, TO

38:42REQUIRE SUCH COTHESE IRVEL

38:43CONNECTS CECTIVITY?

38:46COHNEN THESIVE CONNECTIVITY,

38:49MOSTLY ADDRESSED THROUGH THE

38:50PROCEED PROJECT REVIEWS.

38:54COHESIVE CONNECTIVITY.

38:54IF LOSE WIND TURBINES TO

38:55COMMENT OR ON THAT.

38:58WANTS TO COMMENT.

38:59ADJACENT J PROS CAN BE MORE

39:01COHESIVE AS THEY COME IN.

39:04PROJECTS.

39:04IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

39:04>>Councilmember Cordero:

39:05THANK YOU THAT WAS MY LAST

39:07QUESTION.

39:07>> ELIZABETH KROEGER

39:09DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND

39:10I THINK THAT LAST TIME WE

39:11TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW

39:13THE U.H. WEST OAHU PRU WOULD

39:16ESPECIALLY BECOME LOOK AT THAT

39:19INTEGRATION.

39:19BUT ARE YOU ALSO TALKING ABOUT

39:22MORE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE

39:25HIGHWAY?

39:25WHERE IT WAS BRIDGING ACROSS

39:26THE HIGHWAY?

39:29YEAH, I THINK THAT IS GOING TO

39:32BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE

39:35HOW THOSE PROJECTS COME IN,

39:38WHAT ORDER THEY COME IN AND

39:39HOW WE CAN HOPEFULLY BUILD ONE

39:43MAJOR SPECIAL DISTRICT PERMIT

39:44ON TO ANOTHER TO HOPEFULLY GET

39:48CONNECTIVITY THAT THEN IF THE

39:48FIRST PROJECT HAS THAT, WE CAN

39:50SAY WELL THAT PROBABLY HAS

39:52CONNECTIVITY, SAY PEDESTRIAN

39:53CONNECTIVITY IN THIS ONE

39:55LOCATION.

39:56WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ALIGN IT.

39:57AND THAT COULD BE PART OF SAY

39:59A COMMUNITY BERN FITS PACKAGE.

40:17THE GOAL FOR REQUIRING THE

40:19MAJOR SPECIAL DISTRICT FOR

40:22GET THAT TYPE OF CONNECT

40:25CONNECTIVITY AND INTERACTION

41:50IT'S BROAD TRYING TO GET

41:52GENERAL IDEAS.

41:53BUT I REMAIN CONCERN THAT

41:55WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE

41:56PARKING STRUCTURE ON THE

41:58WAIANAE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

41:59VERY SOON.

42:00BUS IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO

42:02U.H. AND THAT CITY GOING TO

42:04PURSUE.

42:05PAYING ON THE TOWNSIDE BUT WE HE

42:09NO ACCESS WAY TO THE RAIL.

42:10SO PEOPLE WILL BE CROSSING

42:11STREET, GOING UP, CROSSING THE

42:13SAME STREET WHERE THEIR ANCHOR

42:14IS AND GETTING ON RAIL.

42:15WHERE THEIR CAR S IT'S A

42:17CONCERN BECAUSE WHOLE.

42:18PART OF THIS PLAN IS

42:21CONNECTIVITY LIKE

42:21COUNCILMEMBER CORDERO SAID.

42:22EASE OF CON ECTD HAS TO BE

42:25CONNECTIVITY HAS FOR TO BE A

42:27FORETHOUGHT.

42:27SUPPOSED TO BE BROAD BUT I

42:28NEED TO VOICE THAT CONCERN BUS

42:31A HAVEN'T YET HEARD ANY

42:32SOLUTIONS ON THE CITY SIDE HOW

42:34WE'RE DWOG ADD GOING TO ADDRESS

42:36THAT OR RE IGNITE OR INITIATE

42:39CONVERSATION WITH U.H. ABOUT

42:41CAN STILL HAVE THAT OR IF

42:43WE'RE GOING TO DO BUILD A

42:44GUIDEWAY ON THE SIDE THAT

42:46WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARKING

42:48LOT.

42:48TO SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT THAT

42:49IMPORTANT BUT IT'S GOING TO BE

42:51VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT

42:52PARKING LOT ON THAT KEONE I

42:55STATION CARS ALL OVER THE

42:57GRASS.

42:57SO MANY PEOPLE THAT USE THAT

42:59AREA AND I THINK WHETHER WE'RE

43:00TALKING ABOUT T.O.D. PLANS, WE

43:02HAVE HAVE THE FORESIGHT TO SAY

43:03THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT

43:04WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD

43:12TALK ABOUT THAT MAY AS WELL

43:13TALK ABOUT ADD A GUIDEWAY SO

43:16PEOPLE CAN GET TOWN THE RAIL

43:31THIS BILL OR WHEREVER IT NEEDS

43:34TO GO.

43:34WE NEED TO WRITE THAT IN

43:36THERE.

43:36BECAUSE THAT STATION ITSELF,

43:38IS ONLY ONE THAT HAS A PARKING

43:40LOT.

2:55:28SPACE.

2:55:28AND.

2:55:28>> THE AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT

2:55:30PRORE PROPOSING.

2:55:32THE 38 ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE

2:55:33HOUSING UNITS.

2:55:39>>Councilmember Waters: 38

2:55:40UNITS OR OF 9 UNITS?

2:55:41>>Testifier: 69 TOTAL.

2:55:41I BELIEVE.

2:55:42OF 38, THOSE ARE THE COMMUNITY

2:55:48BENEFITS.

2:55:48SO THE OTHER ONES ARE REQUIRED

2:55:53BY CHAPTER 32.

2:55:5529.

2:55:56I MEAN.

2:55:57>>Councilmember Waters:

2:55:57ANYTHING ELSE?

2:56:02I BELIEVE THAT IS IT FOR THE

2:56:06COMMUNITY BENEFITS.

2:56:07>>Councilmember Waters:

2:56:07HOW DO WE COME UP WITH THE

2:56:10$5 MILLION FOR COMPLETE

2:56:13STREETS?

2:56:14>>Testifier: $5 MILLION IS

2:56:14BASED ON PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

2:56:15THAT WAS DONE IN WARD KAKAAKO.

2:56:18SO PART OF THE DOD PLAN FOR

2:56:21ALA MOANA DID BRING UP THAT

2:56:25THERE SHOULD BE IMPROVEMENTS

2:56:26LIKE A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE.

2:56:28FACING ALA MOANA BOULEVARD.

2:56:31SO THE $5 MILLION IS BASED OFF

2:56:35THE $20 MILLION THAT IT TOOK

2:56:36TO PAY FOR THAT EXISTING

2:56:37BRIDGE IN KAKAAKO.

2:56:39IF THE CITY WERE TO IMPLEMENT

2:56:42IT, WE WOULD GET 80% FUNDING

2:56:44FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,

2:56:45SO THE 20% REMAINING WOULD BE

2:56:48THAT $5 MILLION.

2:56:53>>Councilmember Waters:

2:56:53THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN

2:56:53CONTEMPLATED HERE, PEDESTRIAN

2:56:54BRIDGE THAT WOULD GO OVER ALA

2:56:55MOANA BOULEVARD NEAR AT

2:56:59DATKINSONDRIVE.

2:57:00>>Testifier: WE WOULD PREFER

2:57:01FOR THIS TO BE NOT A

2:57:02PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE.

2:57:04IT WOULD BE IMPROVEMENTS TO

2:57:06THE INTERSECTIONS SO IT WOULD

2:57:10BE UPDATING TRAFFIC ISLAND

2:57:13ADDING ADDITIONAL CROSSWALK.

2:57:17SING RON NIECESSING SIDEWALK

2:57:17SYSTEM SO IT WOULD BE MORE

2:57:18EFFICIENT AND PRIORITIZE THE

2:57:21PEDESTRIANS IN THAT AREA.

2:57:24SYNCHRONIZING) ADD COMPLETE

2:57:25STREETS, DESIGNS SO ADDING IN,

2:57:27STREET FURNITURE, AND ADDING

2:57:30BICYCLE LANE AS WELL.

2:57:32>>Councilmember Waters:

2:57:33WATERS $5 MILLION IN THE

2:57:34COMPLETE STREETS PROGRAM IT IS

2:57:35NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR OTHER

2:57:38NEIGHBORHOODS.

2:57:39LIKE WAIKIKI OR TURKEYS WOULD

2:57:42BE ONLY FOR THAT ALA MOANA

2:57:44T.O.D. AREA.

2:57:45>>Councilmember Waters:

2:57:46OKAY GOOD.

2:57:53THANK YOU.

2:57:54THIS BODY PASSED BILL 60.

2:57:56FEW MONTHS AGO.

2:58:02INTRODUCER SITTING HERE IN

2:58:04THIS ROOM TODAY.

2:58:04IT ALLOWS FOR PLANNING,

2:58:08DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION OF

2:58:10RAIL TO WAIKIKI.

2:58:13HAS DPP GIVEN ANY THOUGHT OF

2:58:16HOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO

2:58:20WAIKIKI?

2:58:22POSSIBLY, I GUESS WHAT I'M

2:58:24GETTING AT POSSIBLY THROUGH

2:58:24THIS CORRIDOR,.

2:58:27>>Testifier: RIGHT?

2:58:28>>Testifier: I BELIEVE THAT

2:58:29THE PLANNING EFFORT THAT WAS

2:58:31FUNDED IS HEADED UP BY HART.

2:58:38SO WE DPP IS NOT YET DOING ANY

2:58:40STUDY ON THAT.

2:58:43BUT WHEN THE HART ALIGNMENT

2:58:46WOULD BE COMPLETE, SIMILAR

2:58:49TYPE OF STUDY WITH LIKELY BE

2:58:51PERFORMED THAT LIKE THE ALA

2:58:53MOANA NEIGHBORHOOD

2:58:54TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

2:58:55PLAN.

2:58:56WOULD BE CONDUCTED FOR THE

2:58:58SUBSEQUENT STATIONS.

2:58:59BOTH TO WAIKIKI AND ALSO

2:59:01LIKELY UP TO U.H.

2:59:03>>Councilmember Waters:

2:59:07CORRECT.

2:59:07MY UNDERSTANDING IS ONCE RAIL

2:59:07GETS TO ALA MOANA, USING

2:59:10CURRENT PATH, YOU CAN'T MAKE

2:59:13THIS TURN FROM KONA STREET ON

2:59:16TO ATKINSON, THEN ON TO

2:59:17KAPIOLANI BOULEVARD.

2:59:18SO YOU'RE GOING HAVE FIND

2:59:20ANOTHER ROUTE.

2:59:20JUST COMMON REASON, COMMON

2:59:23SENSE.

2:59:24TELLS ME THAT ONLY PRACTICAL

2:59:26ROUTE TO GET TO WAIKIKI WOULD

2:59:27PROBABLY BE THROUGH ALA MOANA.

2:59:31BOULEVARD.

2:59:32SO I THINK IT WOULD BE

2:59:32IMPORTANT FOR DPP TO WORK WITH

2:59:34HART BEFORE MAKING ANY FURTHER

2:59:37IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT

2:59:40INTERSECTION.

2:59:41IN CON TEN PALATIAL OF THAT.

2:59:41LIKE I SAID COUNCIL ALREADY

2:59:42PASSED THOSE BILL 60.

2:59:47CONTEMPLATION.

2:59:47ALLOWS FOR PLANNING DESIGN AND

2:59:48CONSTRUCTION.

2:59:48SO IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE

2:59:49WILLING TO CONSIDER BEFORE

2:59:52IMPLEMENTINGFULLY OF THESE OR

2:59:54USING THIS $5 MILLION?

2:59:55, BEING I BELIEVE THAT,

2:59:58TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT

3:00:01WOULD ULTIMATELY BE REQUIRED

3:00:01BEFORE ANY KIND OF BUILDING

3:00:04PERMIT OR CERTIFICATE OF

3:00:05OCCUPANCY, WOULD BE RELATED TO

3:00:09WWHAT DEPARTMENT OF

3:00:10TRANSPORTATION AT THE STATE

3:00:11REQUIRED FOR THAT

3:00:14INTERSECTION.

3:00:14STATE CONTROLLED INTERSECTION

3:00:17ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC

3:00:18STUDIES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY

3:00:19REFERENCED BY THE TRAFFIC

3:00:21ENGINEER, WILL BE REVIEWED BY

3:00:24BOTH DTS AND D.O.T.

3:00:27SO WHAT THEY WOULD REQUIRE NOW

3:00:29VERSUS IN THE FUTURE, LIKE I

3:00:31DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WOULD

3:00:37DELAY ANYTHING THAT THEY

3:00:37DEEMED NECESSARY NOW.

3:00:39FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY.

3:00:41BUT IN THE LONG RUN, IF YOUR

3:00:46QUESTION IS BASE CAN I, SHOULD

3:00:47THERE BE I BRIDGE RIGHT NOW,

3:00:47IF RAIL MIGHT GO THAT WAY, I

3:00:50CAN'T SAY.

3:00:54>>Councilmember Waters:

3:00:56JUST GOOD PLANNING.

3:00:56RIGHT?

3:00:57THINKING 5, TEN, 15 YEARS DOWN

3:00:57THE LINE.

3:01:00REALLY SMART TO CONSIDER WHAT

3:01:03I'M TALKING ABOUT NOW.

3:01:05THAT'S ALL.

3:01:06SHIFTING LITTLE BIT.

3:01:08SO WERE YOU HERE WHEN WE DID

3:01:10THE ALA MOANA T.O.D. PLAN?

3:01:12I KNOW YOU ACTUALLY KNOW YOU

3:01:13WERE HERE.

3:01:14YOUR BOSS AT THE TIME.

3:01:18>>Testifier: YES.

3:01:18>>Councilmember Waters:

3:01:19THIS USED TO BE MY DISTRICT.

3:01:22WE HAD LONG DISCUSSIONS ABOUT

3:01:24HOTEL AREA.

3:01:26CONVENTION CENTER DISTRICT.

3:01:27BACK THEN, WHAT WAS BEING

3:02:00WE SAID.

3:02:02OKAY, COMPROMISED ALLOW FOR

3:02:15RIGHT?

3:02:15>>Testifier: YES.

3:02:15THIS IS A HOTEL.

3:02:17IN ATKINSON.

3:02:19FITS PERFECTLY.

3:02:23WITHIN THE ALA MOANA T.O.D.

3:02:23PLAN.

3:02:23>>Chair Waters: IN COUNCIL

3:02:25HAD APPROVED, ABOUT FIVE YEARS

3:02:41GUYS CHANGED THE AMOUNT OF THE

3:02:43COMMUNITY BENEFIT FROM 50,000

3:02:45TO 1.5 MILLION.

3:02:47OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE

3:02:48TREES. HOW DID YOU GUYS COME

3:02:48UP WITH THE NUMBER?

3:02:50I HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS IN MY

3:02:53DISTRICT AND IRISH NEVER HAD

3:02:54ANYONE HAVE TO GIVE MONEY.

3:02:55USUALLY IN KIND. BUILD A

3:02:56PARK. MAKE A STOP LIE.

3:02:59DO THE THINGS.

3:02:59STOP ILH HOW DO YOU COME UP

3:03:00WITH THE NUMBER.

3:03:01>>Testifier: ASK NINA TO

3:03:05ANSWER THAT.

3:03:05>>

3:03:05>>Testifier: DPP.

3:03:06STAFF PLAN.

3:03:07THIS WAS BASED ON SCOPE THAT

3:03:10DIVISION OF URBAN FORESTLY DID

3:03:12OF OPEN WELLS SPOT OR

3:03:13POTENTIAL SPAYS THROUGHOUT THE

3:03:14ALA MOANA AREA.

3:03:16THAT COULD HAVE SPACE.

3:03:20HAVE TREES.

3:03:20THIS FUNDING WOULD GO TO.

3:03:22ACTUAL PLANTING OF TREE,

3:03:25MAINTENANCE, WATERING.

3:03:26IT WOULD GO THROUGH THE

3:03:27CONTRACT CROWDED CORRIDOR IT'S

3:03:27TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE

3:03:30TREE TO MAKE TOURTY TO MAKE

3:03:32SURE IT'S USEFUL.

3:03:34EL CONTRACTS.

3:03:34>>Councilmember Tupola:

3:03:35URBAN FORESTRY ASKED FOR THE 1

3:03:37PANT 5 OVER THE 50,000 ALREADY

3:03:40THERE YOU CAME UP WITH BETTER

3:03:43PEN BENEFITS PACKAGE, US

3:03:46PROPROPOSED FUNDING FOR TREES

3:03:47TUPOLA TO BE INCREASED.

3:03:50>>Testifier: CORRECT.

3:03:51SOMETHING WE HAD CONVERSATIONS

3:03:52WITH EVEN BEFORE APPLICATION

3:03:53WAS SEM SEMITE SUBMITTED WITH

3:03:56DEVELOPER.

3:03:57WAS SUBMITTED TUPOLA I'M JUST

3:03:58ASKING BECAUSE I THINK THERE

3:03:59WAS BEGINNING POINT AND THEN

3:04:00THERE WAS ASK FOR THE

3:04:03DEVELOPER TO DO MORE AND I

3:04:04THINK THAT MIGHT BE HOW YOU

3:04:04GUYS GOT TO THAT.

3:04:05ARER.

3:04:06SECOND QUESTION IS USUALLY IN

3:04:09MY DISTRICT, GIVING IT TO DPR

3:04:10AS A WHOLE. HOW DO YOU GUYS

3:04:12DECIDE TO GIVE IT TO ISSUE AN

3:04:15FORESTRY.

3:04:15HUGE PARK ACROSS THE STREET.

3:04:17>>Testifier: WE WORK WITH

3:04:18URBAN FORESTRY FAIRLY WELL.

3:04:22WE WORK ON STREET TREES

3:04:24SPECIFICALLY.

3:04:24IN LIGHT OF DIVISION.

3:04:26IN MY DESCR DIVISION.

3:04:30MAIN REASON GIVING FUNDING OR

3:04:31PROPOSING FUNDING TO DIVISION

3:04:32OF URBAN FOREST REPLENISHMENT

3:04:35REPLENISHMENTRY MITIGATE VIEW

3:04:37IMPACT.

3:04:37URBAN FORESTRY OF THE PROJECT

3:04:39ITSELFER FOCUS ON COMMUNITY

3:04:41BENEFITS WAS MAINLY ON VIEWS

3:04:42AND TRAFFIC.

3:04:44SO IN TERMS VIEWS, T.O.D. PLAN

3:04:50AREA PLAN ITSELF, DPP GENERAL

3:04:54PLAN AND YEAH, SEVERAL PLANS

3:04:58BASICALLY, CALL OUT THAT

3:05:02VIEWSHED.

3:05:02AND AS A PRIORITY AND FEW SHED

3:05:05FROM ALA MOANA REGION PARK.

3:05:07THE T.O.D. PLAN ALSO TALKS

3:05:11ABOUT ENCOURAGING STREET

3:05:11ESCAPES.

3:05:12SO LINING THE TREE, IN THAT

3:05:13AREA TO BE MORE WALKABLE

3:05:18PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY AREA.

3:05:18SO IN ORDER TO MITIGATE THAT

3:05:19IMPACT OF VIEWS, HOW THE

3:05:22BILLING ARE GOING TO BE LINED

3:05:24UP, WE ARE FOCUSING ON

3:05:27INCREASING VIEWSHED OR VIEW

3:05:29VISTAS OF THAT AREA BY MAKING

3:05:32IT MORE OF A TREE LUSHES AREA.

3:05:34>>Councilmember Tupola: IS

3:05:36IT COMMON FOR IPD-T TO HAVE A

3:05:40CASH I GUESS LIKE A MONITARY

3:05:40BENEFIT THAT IS GIVEN?

3:05:42I'VE NEVER SEEN IT REALLY IN

3:05:45MY DISTRICT.

3:05:46OR DO YOU GUYS COMMON DO THAT

3:05:46AS OPPOSED TO LIKE IN KIND

3:05:49THINGS?

3:05:49>>Testifier: ALEX BATED I

3:05:50CHIEF OF URBAN DISEE DESIGN

3:05:53PRAMP.

3:05:54THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

3:05:54USUALLY SOME SORT OF CASH

3:05:56COMPONENT.

3:05:58BRANCH.

3:05:58LAST PARTICULAR THING WITH

3:06:00COMPLETE STREETS BASED ON

3:06:01LINEAR FRONTAGE.

3:06:01DOLLAR AMOUNT.

3:06:02THEN A LITTLE BIT OF

3:06:05CALCULATION.

3:06:06IN THIS INSTANCE, IT IS MORE,

3:06:07SEEMS LIKE THE SITE WAS GOING

3:06:09TO HAVE A HARD TIME INCREASING

3:06:13THE AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE

3:06:13HOUSING.

3:06:14WE WANTED THE COMMUNITY

3:06:14BENEFITS PACKAGE TO BETTER

3:06:16REFLECT THE ACTUAL IMPACT.

3:06:20OF NET RECR RECREATIONAL RESOUR.

3:06:21ALA MOANA BEACH PARK MOST

3:06:23VISITED SITE IN THE STATE.

3:06:26THAT IS THE MOST SEEN VIEWSHED

3:06:27IN THE STATE.

3:06:28BUILDING IS VIEWSHED.

3:06:29SEEKING QUITE A BIT OF

3:06:32FLEXIBILITY IMPACT THAT.

3:06:33DOLLAR AMOUNT WE WORKED OUT

3:06:36WITH DID YOU HAVE MEANT TO

3:06:37TAKE A LOST RESOURCE AND

3:06:40VIEWSHED FOR RECREATIONAL

3:06:41USERS AND SPREAD IT OUT

3:06:41THROUGH THE REST OF ALA MOANA

3:06:43TO CREATE A MORE WALKABLE

3:06:46PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY GREEN

3:06:47STREETS ESCAPE.

3:06:47VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE

3:06:49T.O.D. PLAN THAT CARE WATERS

3:06:50WAS WALK TALKING.

3:06:53>>Councilmember Tupola:

3:06:53IT'S BEEN SAID MAYBE NEED TO

3:06:55DO MORE.

3:06:55MAYBE THEY DO I'M SAYING NOT

3:06:59HAD PRON IT'S NEED TO GET THAT

3:07:00IMAWNTTY MONEY.

3:07:00SEEMS LIKE A LOT.

3:07:01WANTTY OF MONEYMENT GRATEFUL

3:07:04THEY'RE GIVING BUT WONDERED

3:07:04HOW YOU WILL ALL NUMBER CAME

3:07:05UP.

3:07:05LAST QUESTION ARER, THEN TURN

3:07:09THE TIME OVER.

3:07:09HOW DO YOU GUYS COME UP WITH

3:07:10THE NUMBER 38 OR WHATEVER THE

3:07:12COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE

3:07:13AFFORDABLE HOUSING WANT TO

3:07:16KNOW THE CALCULATION.

3:07:16>>Testifier: SO THAT WAS

3:07:17RECOMMENDED, CAME FROM THE

3:07:19APPLICANT.

3:07:19PART OF THEIR PROPOSAL.

3:07:22SO WE ANALYZED THEIR PROPOSAL

3:07:22AND DID NOT SEEK ADDITIONAL

3:07:23AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.

3:07:25IT'S KIND OF FUNNY TALKING

3:07:27ABOUT THE NUMBER OF UNITS IN

3:07:29COMPARING PROJECTS.

3:07:30REALLY EASY TO IGNORE CERTAIN

3:07:32COMPONENTS OF ONE PROJECT LIKE

3:07:34THE HOTEL UNITS OR TO INCLUDE

3:07:37OTHER COMPONENTS COMING P WITH

3:07:38THE MATH. REALLY, CAN I THINK

3:07:40THIS PROJECT IS PRETTY MUCH IN

3:07:42LINE WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING

3:07:43FROM OTHER ONES.

3:07:44NOT WIDE GAP THAT IS

3:07:46PRESENTED. MAYBE COULD BE

3:07:49LOOKED AT THE FROM DIFFERENT

3:07:49ANGLE SEEN AS A NARROWER GAP

3:07:51HOW WE SAW IT WRITTEN IN OUR

3:07:55REPORT.

3:07:56ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS

3:07:57ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

3:07:57AND THOSE BENEFITS SHOULD

3:08:00REFLECT IMPACT THAT IS BEING

3:08:01CREATED. AND DEVIATION BEING

3:08:03IDEA FROM T THE PLAN.

3:08:07MAUKA-MAKAI ORIENTATION OF

3:08:08TOWERS BIG DEVIATION.

3:08:09THE TOWER ORIENTATION BEING

3:08:12100-FOOT WIDE TOWER WITH

3:08:14100-FOOT WIDA SPACING WOULD

3:08:16HAVE RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY

3:08:177 TOWERS WHEREAS THERE IS ONE

3:08:201,000-FOOT LONG TOWER QUITE A

3:08:23ABOUT THE OF DEVIATION FROM

3:08:23THE PLAN.

3:08:23HARD TO MONETIZE.

3:08:25WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THAT

3:08:29VIEWSHED?

3:08:29TO THE COMMUNITY.

3:08:30TOUGH.

3:08:30AND THAT'S WHY THE REPORT

3:08:32STAFF CHECKLIST, IT'S NOT

3:08:36SIMPLE CAN BE TWO PAGES IN THE

3:08:38LUO.

3:08:39IT WOULD BE.

3:08:40INSTEAD, IT'S 30 PAGE PART OF

3:08:42SPECIAL DISTRICT THAT HAS TO

3:08:43GO THROUGH US.

3:08:44AND ALSO HAS TO COME THROUGH

3:08:46THE COUNCIL.

3:08:47QUESTION THAT DEMANDS

3:08:50THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION.

3:08:51SO WHAT IS THE VALUE?

3:08:53DPP DETERMINED THAT THE VALUE

3:08:55IS AS PRESENTED IN THE

3:08:56RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDED

3:08:58RESOLUTION.

3:08:58THAT LIST OF COMMUNITY AGAIN

3:09:00FITS INCLUDING AFFORDABLE

3:09:02HOUSING, INCLUDING STREET

3:09:03ESCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING

3:09:05CASH CONTRIBUTIONS FOR URBAN

3:09:06FORESTRY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

3:09:08AND INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS

3:09:10MONEY.

3:09:10>>Councilmember Tupola:

3:11:24RELATING TO 5 MILLION.

3:11:24SINCE WE'RE COMMUNITY

3:11:27BENEFITS.

3:11:27SINCE IT WAS RAISED I WOULD

3:11:30LIKE TO READ FOR THE COMMITTEE

3:11:31MEMBERS THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL

3:11:35IN THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION.

3:11:36IT SAYS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE

3:11:39ALA MOANA BOULEVARD AND

3:11:40ATKINSON DRIVE INTERSECTION,

3:11:41AS ENVISIONED IN T.O.D. PLAN,

3:11:45OR IF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF

3:11:46TRAP DOES NOT SUPPORT SIMILAR

3:11:48IMPROVEMENTS, BY THE TIME ANY

3:11:49CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY

3:11:53ISSUED.

3:11:53DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

3:11:54MONETARY CONTRIBUTION OF 5348

3:11:54TO THE CITY FOR -- 5 MILLION

3:11:59CITY COMPLETE STREETS

3:11:59IMPROVEMENTS FOR ALA MOANA

3:12:00T.O.D. PLAN AREA.

3:12:00I WANT TO LET US GUYS KNOW

3:12:01WHAT THE VERBIAGE READ.

3:12:03AND THE DEVELOPER HAS OPTED TO

3:12:06TAKE THE LATTER.

3:12:07I DO KNOW, IN DISCUSSION WAS

3:12:10DPP, THERE WEREEL SOME

3:12:14PREFERENCES BY THAT Y YOU KNOW

3:12:15WHAT.

3:12:16>> WE WANT IMPROVEMENTS AND

3:12:16ALA MOANA BOULEVARD AND ATE

3:12:20CONDITION SONY DRIVE NEXT.

3:12:21BECAUSES THE JURISDICTION IS

3:12:22THE STATE -- AND ATKINSON J

3:12:26COMPLICATED TO GET THE

3:12:27IMPROVEMENTS.

3:12:28SO THE REASON I'M EXPLAIN THRG

3:12:29IS I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT MY

3:12:34THOUGHTS WERE INEL SUPPORTING

3:12:38THE $5 MILLION BENEFITS.

3:12:40I FEEL WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A

3:12:44COMPLICATED PROJECT LIKE THIS,

3:12:45IS IT UNFAIR FOR US TO PUT THE

3:12:48BURDEN ON DEVELOPER WITH

3:12:49REGARD TO THE COMPLEXITY OF

3:12:53INJJURISDICTION FUNDING STREAMS

3:12:54WITH REGARD TO IMPORTANT

3:12:55INTERSECTION LIKE THIS.

3:12:56I WANTED TO SAY THAT.

3:13:01WE NEED TO FELL -- FEEL

3:13:02COMFORTABLE AS A CITY THAT WE

3:13:03WOULD WORK IN TANDEM WITH THE

3:13:07STATE'S DEPARTMENT OF

3:13:07TRANSPORTATION.

3:13:08AND ALL OF THE LAWMAKERS AT

3:13:09THE CITY AND STATE LEVEL FOR

3:13:11THRL JURISDICTION SHOULD CARE

3:13:14ABOUT IT.

3:13:14SO BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT

3:13:15THERE WAS A PREFERENCE FOR THE

3:13:18IMPROVEMENTS, I DID MAKE

3:13:22CONTACT WITH THE STATE

3:13:23DIRECTOR, ED SNIFFEN TO FLAG

3:13:24THE INTERSECTION AND HE

3:13:27COMMITTED THAT WHATEVER IS

3:13:30NECESSARY, FOR THE STATE TO

3:13:31WORK WITH THE CITY, TO MAKE

3:13:32THE NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS,

3:13:34THAT HE WOULD PROVIDE THAT

3:13:37KOKUA.

3:13:37I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO

3:13:39DEAL WITH THIS ON A LOT OF

3:13:41PROJECTS.

3:13:42AND AGAIN, I JUST FELT THAT

3:13:45THE $5 MILLION PROPOSAL WAS

3:13:48WARRANTED.

3:13:48BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE

3:13:50COMPLEX BUT IT WOULD BE

3:13:52UNF.A.R. FOR US TO PUT UP YOUR

3:13:53HANDS AND SAY, TOO

3:13:54COMPLICATED. AND I WOULD

3:13:55PREFER THE IMPROVEMENTS BE

3:13:58MADE PUT THE OWNS ON THE

3:13:58DEVELOPER, TO TWO THROUGH THE

3:13:59MAZE WITH THE CITY AND THE

3:14:02STATE TO GET IT DONE.

3:14:03TO GO THROUGH WITH THE J LET

3:14:05YOU KNOW WHAT MY REASONING IS

3:14:06INNBEHIND THAT.

3:14:10ANY COMMENTS HAVE QUESTIONS ON

3:14:59CONSTRUCTION, SORRY, UNION

3:15:01CONSTRUCTION HERE.

3:15:03IN TERMS OF LONGTERM LABOR, I

3:15:12PROJECTED HERE IN THE ALA

3:15:13MOANA AREA.

3:15:13SO THEY WOULD BE, LOCAL.

3:15:18THANK YOU.

3:15:19>>Councilmember Cordero:

3:15:20ALSO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE

3:15:21LANDSCAPE, NOT LANDSCAPE, BUT

3:15:23THE STREET ESCAPE.

3:15:27I DO LIKE THE IDEA, I GUESS

3:15:27THIS PLAN IS SET IN STONE OF

3:15:31CONCEPTUALLY HOW THE STREET

3:15:34ESCAPE WOULD LOOK LIKE?

3:15:35WHETHER IT BE THROUGH

3:15:35CONNECTIVITY TO AND FROM ALA

3:15:39MOANA TO ATKINSON AND ALA

3:15:41MOANA BOULEVARD?

3:15:45THERE WERE COMMENTS FROM

3:15:46TESTIFIERS THAT MEANT,

3:15:47COMMENTS FROM TESTIFIER IT'S

3:15:49THAT UNDER OUR TUNES TO MAKE

3:15:52IT SAFER FOR PEOPLE, USING

3:15:55DIFFERENT MODES OF

3:15:55TRANSPORTATION, OR WALKING

3:15:57WHATNOT, I WANTED TO ENSURE

3:16:00THAT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY TO

3:16:01LOOK AT THAT IN A BERMANER.

3:16:04BETTER MANNER.

3:16:04>>Testifier: THANK YOU FOR

3:16:05THAT QUESTION.

3:16:09WE INITIALLY SUBMITTED OUR

3:16:10APPLICATION WITH VARIOUS

3:16:16FRONTAGE ON AT WIN SON AND ALA

3:16:17MOANA GOING TO STAY.

3:16:19ATKINSON.

3:16:20PART OF DPP'S COMMENTS WERE,

3:16:22THEY DID MAKE KENT ON THE

3:16:22WILGT OF THE SIDEWALK AND SOME

3:16:24OTHER COMMENTS OTHER VARIOUS

3:16:28COMMENTS STREET ESCAPE ITSELF.

3:16:29WE'LL BE INCORPORATING THESE

3:16:30COMMENTS INTO OUR REVISED

3:16:33DESIGN THAT GOES INTO OUR

3:16:34SPECIAL DISTRICT PERMIT.

3:16:35AGAIN, PEDESTRIAN WALKABILITY

3:16:36IS VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS

3:16:38PROJECT.

3:16:40FOR US. AND I THINK IN T.O.D.

3:16:41AND GENERAL, I THINK BEYOND

3:16:44BUS, RAY, PEDESTRIAN WALKING.

3:16:46VERY IMPORTANT.

3:16:49WE'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE THAT A

3:16:50KEY POINT FOR OUR PROJECT.

3:16:52THANK YOU.

3:16:53>>Councilmember Cordero:

3:16:53THANK YOU.

3:16:53RIGHT NOW BUS A LOT OF BUS

3:16:56LINES GOES THROUGH THE GROUND,

3:16:58GROUND AREA.

3:17:00OF THAT CENTER.

3:17:02AND I WAS WONDERING HOW THAT

3:17:06WILL INTERFACE FOR THE

3:17:08PROJECT.

3:17:09AND HOW I GUESS THE PROJECT

3:17:11DESIGN WON'T I GUESS CUT OUT

3:17:15PUBLIC.

3:17:16KEEP THE SAFETY OF HOTEL

3:17:18GUESTS AND RESIDENTS IN MIND.

3:17:20>>Testifier: THANK YOU FOR

3:17:22THAT COMMENT.

3:17:24AS FAR AS BUTTS STOPS, THERE'S

3:17:25FOR BUS ON ATKINSON.

3:17:27DRIVE.

3:17:27SO CURRENT BUS STOP IS ON ALA

3:17:30MOANA BOULEVARD.

3:17:31IT'S FARTHER TO THE EWA SIDE

3:17:32OF OUR SITE.

3:17:33SO WE'RE NOT IMPACTING THE

3:17:35EXISTING BUS STOP.

3:17:39IT'S FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

3:17:41CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT

3:17:44REQUIRES US TO CONTINUE TO

3:17:45WORK WITH DTS TO SEE IF BUS

3:17:49STOP SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN

3:17:50THAT AREA.

3:17:50CONTINUE TO SHARE WITH YOU

3:17:51THAT CONDITION.

3:17:54THANK YOU.

3:17:54>>Councilmember Cordero:

3:17:55THANK YOU I KNOW THAT WITH THE

3:17:58ONE LAST COMMENT.

3:18:00I KNOW THA THAT THE I AGREE WITH

3:18:09IMPROVEMENTS ARE THERE BECAUSE

3:18:09THERE ARE GOING TO BE SUCH

3:18:11HIGHER DENSITY IN THE AREA.

3:18:12WITH THIS PROJECT.

3:18:15BUT WHEN TRAFFIC AND

3:18:18TRANSITTISM PROVES ARE MADE,

3:18:20IN A PERMANENT WAY,EL EVEN

3:18:22THOUGH THERE IS POST

3:18:26CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC REPORTS

3:18:28DONE, HOW THEN CAN YOU, HOW

3:18:29CAN A PROJECT THEN AMEND

3:18:31SOMETHING TO INCLUDE SOMETHING

3:18:32SUCH AS MAILER TRANSIT HUB?

3:18:35WHETHER IT BE STATION, OR LIKE

3:18:38MORE ACCESS POINTS.

3:18:39AFTER THINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED.

3:18:44>>Testifier: THAT'S A GREAT

3:18:45QUESTION.

3:18:45PART OF THE REASON WE HAD OUR

3:18:46TRAFFIC ENGINEER EARLIER IS WE

3:18:48MAKE SURE WE DO THE

3:18:51ENGINEERING TO LOOK AT OUR

3:18:52PROJECT HOW IT'S GOING TO

3:18:53IMPACT TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.

3:18:58LOCAL DEVELOPER, ALWAYS BEEN

3:19:00VERY CONSCIOUS OF WORKING WITH

3:20:45NO NOR QUESTIONS.

3:20:46FOR THE DEVELOPER.

3:20:48I WANT TO MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT

3:20:48SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU

3:20:49SHARED.

3:20:50SO I THINK CHAIR WATERS FOR

3:20:51HIS LIST OF BENEFITS.

3:20:57I TOO WAS LOOKING AT THIS AND

3:20:57WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS

3:20:59ANY MORE THAT COULD BE DONE

3:21:02BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE IS SOME

3:21:02TESTIFIERS SAYING THAT MORE

3:21:03COULD BE DONE SO MAYBE I AM

3:21:05KIND ASKING THE QUESTION.

3:21:06DID ANY LIST OR MAYBE ASKS GET

3:21:09GIVEN TO YOU ABOVE AND BEYOND

3:21:11WHAT WAS ALREADY INCLUDED IN

3:21:12THE COMMUNITY BEN SPHIT F

3:21:16BENEFITS FROM ANY OF THE

3:21:16OPPOSITION?

3:21:17I WANTED TO KNOW, WAS THERE

3:21:18ANY OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS I

3:21:20FEEL LIKE AT THIS POINT I

3:21:20SHOULD BE ASKING FOR WAY MORE

3:21:22FOR DEVELOPMENT IN MY

3:21:25DISTRICT.

3:21:25THIS IS A LOT.

3:21:25BUT WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

3:21:26THAT WAS ASKED OF YOU, THANK

3:21:35YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

3:21:38>>Testifier: NO.

3:21:39ENOLOGIST OUTSIDE OF THE

3:21:39REPORT FROM DPP.

3:21:40>>Councilmember Tupola:

3:21:40THANK YOU.

3:21:40SO CHAR I GUESS MY COMMENT IS

3:21:42THERE IS 69 I THINK OF 9 UNITS

3:21:46AFFORDABLE.

3:21:47AND 69, SAME DEVELOPMENT GROUP

3:21:49VILLAGE ADD KAPOLEI.

3:21:534 HYUNDAI U ONE UNIT 167 FROM

3:21:54AFFORDABLE.

3:21:56MY DISTRICT, 167 UNITS BETWEEN

3:21:5930 AND 60% AMI IS, A LOT.

3:22:00I ONLY HAVE IN WAIANAE, ONLY

3:22:0412 TO 25 THAT EVEN IN THAT

3:22:06BRACKET.

3:22:06SO HAVING THAT MANY IN KAPOLEI

3:22:08HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR ME

3:22:12R HAVING TWO PREEMPHASIS

3:22:12SCHOOLS AND STOP LIGHT AT

3:22:14KAPOLEI KUNIA HE WAS A.

3:22:18PRESCHOOLS. GAME-CHANGER FOR

3:22:19ME.

3:22:19BENEFIT FOR OUR DISTRICT IN

3:22:20THAT PROJECT, TVRs

3:22:21PRESKYLINES, STOP LIGHT,

3:22:24PRESCHOOLS, STOP LIGHT, I JUST

3:22:24WANT TO MAKE, MENTION THAT I

3:22:26FEEL LIKE 5 MILLION THAT YOU

3:22:28MENTIONED, 1 MILLION FOR URBAN

3:22:30FORESTRY, LIKE I'M IMPRESSED.

3:22:32BECAUSE I DEFINITELY THINK

3:22:33THAT THE CITY ALWAYS NEEDS

3:22:35TOWS KIND OF FUNDS TO MAKE

3:22:37SURE WE CAN DO WHAT WE NEED TO

3:22:38DO ON OUR SIDE FOR

3:22:39INFRASTRUCTURE, I'M GRATEFUL

3:22:40FOR THE WORK THAT YOU PUT IN

3:22:42AND ALSO WORK THAT DPP DID

3:22:43WITH THEM.

3:22:43TO TRY TO GET TO THIS.

3:22:45BUT ONLY OTHER WAY THAT WE GET

3:22:48TO ANYTHING BETTER IS IF

3:22:48THERE'S A SUBMITTAL FOR

3:22:50ANOTHER COMMUNITIES BENEFIT.

3:22:50IF THAT IS THE CASE, THAT

3:22:53NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO THEM

3:22:54DIRECT WILL.

3:22:54I THINK THE HART TO SAY LIKE,

3:22:56MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE

3:22:59BECAUSE WE'RE USING HUD

3:23:01STANDARD WE'RE USING BUNCH OF

3:23:03LAWS THAT EXIST ALREADY AS FAR

3:23:04AS WHAT IS SET AT 80% AMI.

3:23:0860% WE CAN'T CHANGE THOSE.

3:23:09SO I DO THINK THAT FOR WHAT WE

3:23:11HAVE TODAY, THERE SEEMS TO BE

3:23:14A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE AND I'M

3:23:15SUPPORTIVE OF IT.

3:23:16THANK YOU CHAIR.

3:23:18>>Chair Kia'aina: THANK

3:24:01AMENDING ACTUALLY THE T.O.D.

3:24:01PLAN.

3:24:02WRITTEN BY DPP.

3:24:04BUT I AMEND IT GREAT DEAL.

3:24:07AS I MENTIONED, INITIALLY,

3:24:08THEY WANTED TO BUILD A ALLOW

3:24:13CALLED IT CONVENTION CENTER

3:24:34TO SUPPORT THE CONVENTION

3:24:37CENTER.

3:24:38WE ALLOW FOR HOTELS.

3:24:39OTHER DEBATE HOW HIGH SHOULD

3:24:41IT BE AND BHOO KIND OF DENSITY

3:24:45SHOULD WE PROVIDE.

3:24:45COMPROMISE FOR ALLOW FOR 400

3:24:48FEE AND F.A.R. I THINK 7.5.

3:24:55INITIALLY WAS ASKED FOR A TEN.

3:24:56THAT WAS COMPROMISE AS WELL.

3:25:01BUT THIS PROJECT FITS

3:25:04PERFECTLY INTO THAT.

3:25:05UNDER THE T.O.D. PLAN, AGAIN,

3:25:07WHICH WE CONTEMPLATED,

3:25:10HEAVILY, FITS RIGHT IN THAT.

3:25:12AS FAR AS COMMUNITY PACKAGE

3:25:14PACKAGE CONCERNED, REQUIRED

3:25:15UNDER T.O.D. PLAN IS COMMUNITY

3:25:18PACKAGE THAT COMMENSURATE TO
