In response to some who question whether the Ilikai was developed as a mixed-use project: YES, it was. We have the whole history, with documents on file. In fact, the Ilikai was initially planned as a co-op. Then Chinn Ho decided to change to all condos. Then Chinn Ho changed it to a mixed-use complex, with condos and a full-service hotel under the same roof. We have documents. Bill Moore may be referring to a all-condo promotional brochure. We have those old brochures, too. Those do not matter because it was during the preliminary stage. What matters is the final product, which was mixed-use, with condos and a hotel in one project. The final product that Chinn Ho finalized was the mixed-use, with the hotel.
Also the following: When I and others bought our units, we bought into a mixed-use project consisting of individually owned condos and a hotel, and no timeshare. The presence of the hotel (and no timeshare) was the main reason I and many others chose the Ilikai. Those individuals who seem to be dreaming up getting rid of the hotel should be made aware that this would constitute material change. These individuals should be aware that should they continue with these ideas, they may very likely sink the Ilikai (and themselves) into a yet another lawsuit. It gets to a point when enough is enough. Leave the Ilikai the way it was for decades, with private condos and the hotel, and get rid of Shell and timeshare.
It may be of interest to note that some of these same people on the current Board, incl. Bill Moore, were on the Board that let Shell timeshare in here to begin with. Not only that, but the current Board, of all the attorneys in this town, chose to bring Milton Motooka back here, who was here when Shell got here, with still unanswered questions about his role in this disaster.
