HOUSE RESOLUTION

 

REQUESTING THE planning department of the CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU to EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSTRUCTING A 25-METER POOL AT THE SITE OF THE PRESENT LANAKILA BASKETBALL COURTS.

 

 

WHEREAS, the proposed Lanakila Swimming Pool is a 50-meter, nine-lane pool situated at the corner of Kuakini Street and Lanakila Avenue, adjacent to Lanakila Elementary School; and

WHEREAS, this project is part of a twenty-year-old master plan which is outdated and no longer consistent with the safety and health aspects of the current site; and

WHEREAS, a master plan contains construction projects which include the building of restrooms with showers, a pool equipment room, a maintenance room, a pool manager's office, and a solid tile wall between the pool and the school; and

WHEREAS, construction of the solid tile wall is for the abatement of noise which may occur with the use of the pool during school hours; and

WHEREAS, this wall might disrupt needed air circulation for the school classrooms and hinder mountain breezes which cool the school campus; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2002, that the Planning Department of the City and County of Honolulu is requested to explore the possibility of constructing a 25-meter pool on the site of the present Lanakila basketball court; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be sent to Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, the Planning Department of the City and County of Honolulu,

Visioning Team No. 12, and the Chair of Neighborhood Board No. 12.
