GREAT-58 Reso 22-158 RESOLUTION 22-158, RELATING TO AUTHORIZING PROCEEDINGS IN EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5385 LOWER HONOAPIILANI ROAD (LAHAINA) (GREAT-58)
I support the Eminent Domain process with certain conditions:
Corporation Counsel must be excluded:
The County Council must secure legal advice that does not come from Corporation Counsel. Moana Lutey, John Rapacz (retired), and others are deeply conflicted and have repeatedly misrepresented the facts to the Council.
This must not turn into a "Payday" for Greg Brown:
The many proven layers of misrepresentations by Brown, to secure exemptions and permits that he was never entitled to, must limit the "fair market" value of the property and the public's outlay to "take" the property.
Michelle Mclean has been lying to the Council!
This property is in a Mixed-Use district that includes Hotels. Short-term rentals with no permits are how it's done in Napili Bay because it is zoned for that. McLean's promise that the County "will never issue a short-term rental permit to Brown" is intentionally misleading because he's not required to ask for one.
I understand that the pushback from several groups of entrenched exploiters will be fierce. The Council must prepare itself for a very bumpy ride! But with your support, we can move Maui County into a new era as a modern municipality that serves the best interests of its residents, not the Fat Cats.
This "castle" never should have been approved or built. And it should NEVER be allowed to be completed . Nor should the developer be allowed to profit from this monstrosity.
There should be an investigation of the planning / permitting departments as how this was approved and "heads should roll !"
Tear it down or make it into something that truly supports we the people of Hawaii Nei !

Time to speak up. Longtime Maui residents – 50+years and kanaka ʻōiwi are tired of being bullied by the money people. The American Way, is the wrong way for too many of us.
We teach our keiki and moʻopuna to always do the right thing – even when others may disagree. So many layers to this whole fiasco. Letʻs begin to fix it! Please.

On the this day of 6/28/22, I would like to testify against eminent domain/purchase of the Greg Brown hotel. Decision makers on this project should be held accountable, also Greg Brown should not be paid a cent for collusion and cheating the system he used to build his hotel. Wailuku is going to have a multi million dollar cultural center, there is no reason for another in Napili.
Times are changing, it's a good time to set an example not cover up this massive wrong doing.

Greg Brown lied to get this monstrosity if an eyesore built.
Where is he going to get the water to fill 2 pools!
Why would a SINGLE FAMILY home need 2 pools??? Greedy SOB when there is a water restriction in West Maui?
Whom did he pay off?????
You don’t need a college education to know that this scum paid off someone to get his permit!!!!!
Tear it down!!!!!
7 generations of my Ohana have been in Kahana and this is corruption at its absolute finest!!!!!
We are outraged!!!!!!!
