Tom Ravey, president of the board of Lahaina Residential Condominium Complex, testified that Bill 110 should be amended to include Lahaina Residential and the nearby Siemens Hospital among the Front Street historic exemptions. "I come before you today to respectfully request that bill 110 be amended to include the historical properties of Lahaina residential and Siemens Hospital," Ravey said, adding that his complex never allowed short‑term rentals, was about 60% owner occupied at the time of the fire, and could lose an entire building if required to create a 60‑foot right‑of‑way.

Theo Morrison, executive director of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation, said she supported Bill 110 but only learned during testimony that Siemens Hospital was not included and asked the council to expand the exemption list. "Front Street is a really, really important street. We love it the way it is," Morrison said, urging protection of the street's pedestrian character.

Representatives working on Front Street recovery also spoke in favor of the bills. Jeff Uyoka, representing the Front Street Recovery Group, said the exclusion of the two properties appeared unintentional and that the group would not object to including them. McKinley Eads, project manager for the owners of 838 Front Street, told the council that requiring owners to undertake public improvements — pavement widening, sidewalks, curbs, drainage, signage or utility relocation — as a condition of rebuilding is "not only grossly unfair and unjust but entirely impractical" for disaster‑impacted property owners coping with the logistical and financial burden of reconstruction.

Supporters argued Bill 156 would allow distinctive architectural features that define Front Street's historic character to be rebuilt to their prior size and scale, provided they meet current building‑code safety standards; proponents said that protection helps preserve shade, pedestrian comfort and the street's identity. Opponents were not recorded in the provided transcript segment and no formal council votes are recorded in this excerpt.

Testimony included specific local consequences: Ravey said the 60‑foot right‑of‑way requirement could eliminate an eight‑unit building at Lahaina Residential and prevent "like‑for‑like" reconstruction sought by many property owners. Witnesses asked the council to consider amending Bill 110 to explicitly include Siemens Hospital and Lahaina Residential so owners can rebuild without losing housing units or historic fabric.

The record shows public testimony urging amendment and expedited guidance; the transcript does not record a council decision on amendments or final votes within the provided segment. The council will need to reconcile design review timelines, the county's infrastructure plans and the role of the Cultural Resources Commission — which, a testifier said, canceled a November meeting that would have advanced design guidance — before completing rebuild policy.
