Resolution 26-129

Waiohuli Beach Hale condo owner asked that her complex be evaluated under the same Ordinance 6008 criteria as other eligible properties and added to the H-3/H-4 list, noting part of the parcel intersects the 3.2-foot SLR exposure area.

General contractor and Lahaina Roads board member testified the oceanfront building can't be maintained by median-income owners — his monthly costs are $4,900, special assessments hit $17,000-$50,000 — arguing the units are unsuitable for local housing.

Submitted 64 pages of written testimony alleging that no Mā‘alaea wastewater system meets permitting requirements, citing fecal bacteria data, unpermitted discharges, and health risks, and warned rezoning signals acceptance of these conditions.

Owner of a unit in the Nohonani building on Lower Honoapiilani Road asked that the property be added via Chair Lee's amendment, noting it is 100% within the 3.2-foot SLR area and neighbors were included, and described heavy spalling costs and HOA fees above $2,500/month.

Full-time resident and owner at Kihei Resort said 93% of homeowners voted to support inclusion in the resolution and requested H-3 rezoning under Ordinance 6008.

Waiohuli Beach Hale board member asked that the 52-unit beachfront condo be added to the rezoning list, arguing the units were never affordable housing (requiring more than double the median income) and flood insurance is up 67%.

Owner at Hale Kai O Kīhei (1310 Uluniu Road) asked for inclusion, saying roughly 25-30% of the parcel is in the SLR-XA, the building is on the FEMA flood map, and neighbors are already listed.

Fellow Waiohuli Beach Hale owner argued long-term rental use at a shoreline property would anchor families to displacement risk, and that short-term rental is the only sustainable use given erosion and storm exposure.

Land-use planner and Noelani owner-unit family member urged retaining Noelani in Chair Lee's amendment, citing its 1974 purpose-built visitor accommodation design and 50 years of lawful operation.
