During the week after Finals, survey workers will spend several days taking soil samples at the new building site, the two new parking lot locations, and the portion of Ala Koolau, the roadway that runs by Hale Imiloa and Hale Palanakila.
Those on campus can expect some noise from the augers, and drivers may find portions of Ala Koolau blocked while the crew gathers samples.
At its December 3, 2008 meeting, the City Council approved Resolution 08-258 "to allow Windward Community College to obtain building permits for improvements covered by the Plan Review Use Permit granted by Resolution No. 94‑87, CD1."
The resolution removed a stipulations requiring the College to complete Master Plan improvements within ten years (such completion was not possible due to funding delays).
This action clears the College to submit demolition, grading and building permits when construction starts in late fall 2009.
At its September 18, 2008 meeting, the Kaneohe Neighborhood Board No. 30 was presented with a project summary regarding the new building.
