The Office of Corporation Counsel has asked the County Council to consider acquiring the last unit in the Montana Beach condominium through eminent domain and condemnation. The county is locked in court with Asghar Sadri, who claims in a federal civil rights lawsuit that he is suffering a loss of up to $20 million in being blocked from using his property. That does not mean he thinks his beachfront lot is, by itself, worth $20 million. He is claiming damages from being unable to use his property for the past six years.

Judge Joel August ruled that the Hawaii Department of Transportation's FONSI (Finding of NO significant impact) for the changes at Kahului Harbor was insufficient. He stated specifically that the examination of traffic issues was inadequate.
This is the case in which Maui Tomorrow, the Kahului Harbor Coalition and the County of Maui have joined together as plaintiffs, charging that the State's (Environmental Assessment) was incomplete.
Judge August asked that the parties come before him on Thursday, August 2 to determine what relief measures can be required.
Although this decision does not directly involve the Hawaii Superferry "ship", the necessary traffic study will have to examine the impact of the HSF operations bringing up to 280 vehicles into the affected area two time each day (mid-mornings and evenings), and the loading of up to an additional 280 vehicles onto the ferry.
Furthermore, it is expected that there will be many other vehicles (taxis, busses, rental vehicles, etc.) delivering and picking up Hawaii Superferry passengers. The traffic study will also have to consider the closing of the road between Pier 2 and Pier 1 because that was caused by the Superferry's need for space.
Finally, to get a proper analysis of traffic impacts, it will be necessary to include the huge 450 residential housing unit and commercial center that is soon to be constructed on the site of the Old Kahului Shopping Center (where Ah Fooks burnt down).
