A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
When the director determines that the topography of the land will not permit adequate
screening of an existing automobile graveyard or that the screening of the automobile
graveyard would not be economically feasible, the county may acquire by gift, purchase,
exchange, or condemnation such interest in lands as may be necessary to secure the
relocation, removal or disposal of automobile graveyard. When the director determines
that it is in the best interest of the county, the director shall recommend to the
council to authorize an action to acquire such land, or interest in land, as may be
necessary to provide adequate screening of the automobile graveyard.
