From the meeting
At its August 13, 2026 meeting, the commission approved a preliminary recommendation to further evaluate possible acquisition of the former Coco Palms property in Wailua, Kaua'i. Staff said the acquisition price exceeded the roughly $3 million currently available in the Open Space Fund after pending commitments, so additional funding sources, long-term maintenance, and stewardship would need to be identified. The property owner, Kaikapu LLC, was the current owner of the former Hoban or Leight property, and the planning discussion said a right of entry was being executed and survey work would follow for a voluntary easement.
The commission supported continuing research rather than making a final acquisition recommendation.
