REPORT FROM KAUAI COUNTY – Pursuant to an ex parte order granted by Fifth Circuit Court Judge Randal G.B. Valenciano on May 3, the County is attempting to take possession of three parcels in Hanalei owned by Mike Sheehan and Hanalei River Holdings Limited.  This action is the culmination of condemnation proceedings that have been ongoing for approximately 18 months.

The County has taken possession of the parcel referred to as “Lot 7” on the attached map, and has attempted to take possession of the parcels labeled “Lot 5” and “Lot 6,” however Mr. Sheehan has challenged the County’s right to do so.  The County intends to seek further guidance from the Fifth Circuit Court in order to facilitate the full implementation of the ex parte order.
