Preset Reset
After years of fighting in contested cases, in court, and before the Board of Land and Natural Resources to retain the right to preset dozens of lounge chairs on a strip of oceanfront land that was created to be used as public beach, the owner of the Kahala Hotel & Resort has stopped.
Last month, the Land Board lauded Resorttrust Hawaii, LLC’s decision to remove all of its preset and stored equipment from the 1.28-acre parcel it has rented from the state for decades. But some members balked at the company’s request to continue maintaining and landscaping the property for free.
