104A Lower Waiehu Beach Road (Kaʻehu Bay) Acquisition

Maui County

Description

The county wants to buy this 0.41-acre vacant shoreline parcel for $480,000 in Open Space Fund money and fold it into the adjacent Kaʻehu conservation area — but the Mayo ʻohana's testimony about the disputed title led the committee to defer the item.

Impact summary

If purchased, the land would be preserved as conservation open space managed by the current Kaʻehu steward organization rather than developed.

Kaʻehu Bay land acquisition and disputed title

The county wants to buy 0.41 acres from the LDS Church to fold into the adjacent Kaʻehu conservation area, but the Mayo ʻohana says the church never held clear title and their ancestors never gave the land away. The committee put the purchase on hold pending family-administration talks.
