THE NANI KAHUKU AINA DEVELOPMENT on 16,000 acres along the coast west of South Point is on hold but not withdrawn, according to a statement from the owners’ representative Michael Reyes. He responded to an email request from The Ka`u Calendar on whether there is any news on conservation efforts to preserve the Ka`u Coast land. “There really isn’t anything material to report ever since the Draft EIS was filed with the county a couple of years ago,” Reyes wrote. “While we have not taken any affirmative steps to move this forward, we have not officially withdrawn the application, either. There are also no pending discussions with any federal or local government agency regarding the disposition of the property at this time. So basically, we are in a holding pattern and are treating the asset as a longer-term investment.” Reyes was referred to the newspaper by Tom Schnell, AICP, senior associate with PBR Hawai`i, the planning firm in Honolulu that handled the Environmental Impact Statement for Nani Kahuku `Aina. Apparently, some of the ownership has changed since the EIS was written. The plan was for hotels, golf courses and condominiums along the shoreline.
