b

that shifts electricity usage from day into night that alleviates HECO

peak-time usage, which decrease energy generation and cost and aids in

pollution abatement.  At 7am, the unit shuts off; a computer turns on small

pumps with the old chiller interface to cool the building.  Aiea Med. gets a

tax credit for the energy conservation equipment and there is a saving of

40%-50% on the electric bill.

Discussion followed and questions were asked: (D.A.) Could tanks be put on

top of each other?  No, because of the fire escape.   (B.A.)  Why not give

up parking?  Too busy.  Parking space being taken is not an option.  (C.T.)

Is there enough space, ratio to tenant (parking)?  Donb

there a hazard potential?  No, oxygen deteriorates mixture.  (J.S.)  How

about the roof?  Structurally the unit is too heavy.  (K.M.)  Can the tanks

be separated?  No, one tank may be frozen and the other ones not. (G.O) Why

are boxes aligned the way it is instead of the drawn plan?  Electric conduit

pollution.  Starling stated that greenery, lattice, trellis, hedging and to

paint the units green is possible.

Due to issue consistency, there is a concern about the precedent of allowing

the 2-3 ft. setback in relation to the mill site road.   A ten b

setback was to be created at the site, but only a seven-ft. setback was

allowed even with community opposition.

A presentation to Aiea Neighborhood Board will take place also.  Field trip

to the Aiea Medical Building will take place on July 8, 1999, 9:00 am.

ACAb

AIEA SUGAR MILL SITE

Mahealani Richardson from KGMB would like to meet with ACA at the HARC

building on July 8, 1999 at 10:00am.  Try and get community members and Aiea

youths that are at PCC Youth Center there.

The Aiea Neighborhood Board (ANB) is aware of ACAb

library at the mill site.      Norman Mizuguchi supports ACAb

look at the larger site parcel 10, for the library rather then the proposed

current location of parcel 25.  Mark Takai or Judy Gold to help ACA draft a

letter to the Governor.  Vision boards need to bring mill site to the table

at meetings.

Gary to put together justification sheet for b

with Councilperson Hanneman and M. Richadson.  Bonnie to bring rendering

boards.

At the Aiea Neighborhood Board meeting of June 14, 1999, Joel Criz,

representing Crazy Shirts, Inc. was upset with ACAb

concerning the mill site.  Bonnie informed him that the flyer was

informational for community members who would be most affected by the

development at the site.  David requested that Joel Criz confirm in writing

to the ANB not to allow industrial intensive use at the site.  Criz agreed.

ABC GRANT APPLICATION

The ABC grant opened up grant funds to Empowerment groups.  Our proposal was

to build up our community base with the eventual outcome being a computer

learning center/ youth center.  There will be a meeting on July 19,1999, at

5pm With Maia Rogers from the HMSA Foundation and Terry George from the

Consuelo Alger Foundation.  Bob Agres may help us prep and hopefully Empower

Oahu could provide technical support.  David suggested that if we get the

grant, perhaps we could inform and get community support through schools

with flyers and PTA announcements going to homes with school aged children.

MISC.

Jane announced that articles for the ANB newsletter would be due on July 11,

1999.  A disk and hard copy is requested for articles.

Meeting was adjourned at 9:45pm.
