UPDATE/Clarification of County Suing Puakea Ranch
The county is suing a Hawi vacation rental ranch following more than two years of neighbor complaints over weddings, concerts and events being held there without a permit.
Lot #1 of Puakea Ranch near Hawi, owned by a Beverly Hills group, includes four plantation-era buildings on 32.4 acres in the state land use agricultural district and in county agricultural zoning. The ranch buildings are advertised on sites such as Airbnb and booking.com for at prices ranging from $289 to $629 nightly.
A previous article said more than just lot#1 was being sued; only Lot #1 is.
