A Maui County Council committee passed a bill requiring landowners to notify agricultural lessees by certified mail before filing subdivision permits. The measure stemmed from Maui Gold Pineapple being unaware of subdivision plans on land they lease.
- The Housing and Land Use Committee approved the notification requirement by a 5-2 vote.
- Landowners would need to send certified mail to agricultural tenants before subdividing property.
- The issue arose when Maui Gold Pineapple wasn’t notified about subdivision plans on their leased land.
- Two council members voted against it, citing insufficient discussion and need for Public Works input.
- The resolution will go to planning commissions for review before reaching the full Council.
