Honolulu Star-Bulletin from Honolulu, Hawaii • 4

A-4 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Friday, Dec. 15, 1967 First of 1,300 Mililani homes to go on sale in spring Developers of Oahu's second "planned city" said yesterday they will begin selling the first 1,300 homes proposed for Mililani Town near Wahiawa in the spring. Construction of the Castle and Cooke project has been delayed for more than six years. although site work on the "bedroom" part of the community has been under way for some time. The community will include an integrated network of home s.

apartments. townhouses and cultural centers. Norman Chung, attorney for Mi Mani Town. told the City Planning Commission a commercial area for the city is scheduled for development in February. He made the comments to the Star-Bulletin and to the Planning Commission after the commissioners approved a request for a change in the Detailed Land Use Map for 255 acres of land at Waipio.

More space for schools As explained by City Planning Director Frank Skriva nek, the changes are needed to permit realignment of local streets and redesignation of three schools. Chung said the changes in location (which will add another five acres of park space to the schools) had been requested by the Department of Education as part of the planning of the community to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. So far. a golf course opened last year is the only major part of the Waipio community started on 700 acres of land once used for pineapple cultivation. City of 75,000 people When completed, developers say the community will eventually stretch over 3.000 acres and have facilities for 75,000 residents in a city similar to Reston, Va.

and Irvine. Calif. The Mililani "planned city" was first announced in November, 1961, but it is not the first "planned city" on Oahu. In December, 1960, Campbell Estate announced plans for the 1,300 acre "planned city" of Makakilo in the foothills of the Waianae Range above Barbers Point. Work on homes advertised for "from $14,900 to $17.900 was started in March, 1962.

Bob Maxwell. director of advertising and public relations for the Finance Factors organizations says that since that time. 550 single family residences have been built. Ile said the average price range today is "from $21,000 to Maxwell said the next phase of development at Makakilo will be for apartments and larger, higher-priced homes. Work on a shopping center at Makakilo will begin in the spring of 1968 and the first elementary school will in in September.

Mil. Lois Kittle, director of advertising and public relations for Mililani Town, said the first increment of 1.300 Waipio homes will include a variety of houses in the $24,000 to $32,000 price range. When plans for the Waipio "planned city" were first announced in 1961. officials of Oceanic Properties (a Castle and Cooke subsidiary i estimated that 1.000 acres of their community would be devoted to houses selling for $12.000 to $18.000 on both fee and leasehold land. Higher priced houses and ar de apartments" are also to be included and an industrial park is planned for the future, Chung told the Star-Bulletin yesterday.

City Councilman Yoshiro Nakamura has also proposed that Milliard Town would be a good site for Hawaii Loa College if a Windward site is rejected. The first residents are expected to move into Mililani Town in September. 1968.

His costs, he said, were 10 per cent higher on most trees this year and as much as 50 per cent higher on certain types. One of the special types was the Nobil fir. A six-foot Nobil fir this year sold quickly for $14.25. Last year. the same tree would have sold for about half that amount.

The same merchant sold a six-foot Scotch pine tree this year for $9. Last year it would have sold for about $8. A i -f Douglas fir which last year would have sold for $2.50 this year went for about $3. Christmas tree sales and prices are breaking records this year. Many Christmas tree lots have already sold out and closed up shop for the season, with the holidays still 10 days away.

In past years trees were available right up to the last minute. And there have been complaints about prices. This year's crop is bringing higher prices than ever before. One father paid $11.70 for a six-foot-five-inch fir tree because "It was the only decent looking tree left," he said. The law of supply and demand may be to blame.
