Aloha Libby I just check our records and none of our files are related to Mark Lester's current plans. I do have 733 pages of old correspondences. You may want to check with the Office of Housing and Community Development for the latest information. If you would like to speak with someone from Planning, please contact Jeff Darrow Deputy Director at 808-961-8158 or by email at <<email address>> and email address> >.

Mahalo for getting back to me, Elizabeth. If I have more questions can email Jeff, but wondering if maybe you can answer more document-related questions. May I have a copy of that last filing? I also noticed on Hawai'i Compliance Express that Hawi Nani LLC has dissolved (the site is currently down, so won't be able to double-check the year, but I think it was 2020 or 2021).  The TMK is still under the LLC,  though, so is Mark Lester's current plans under a different LLC for that TMK?  The TMK is 3-5-5-008:076. Mahalo and have a wonderful day! Libby

Hi Libby, I don't have any information that would indicate that Mark Lester changed the LLC. The links below is the last submittal and Plannings response that application was incomplete. https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid... https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid...

Aloha again Elizabeth! I’m circling back. In the old documents you pulled up, would it be possible to get anything (if there is anything) from Kern and Associates (also known as Kern & Associates) from between maybe 2018 and 2020 for old plans? Either through correspondence or applications. Land Use Commission said they didn’t have anything on old plans so it was just at the county level. I hope you and the rest of the planning department have wonderful holidays with your Ohana. This can wait until after then since I’m in transit anyway. Mahalo, Libby
