HONOLULU -- The Honolulu City Council voted Wednesday night to condemn leasehold conversion on the Admiral Thomas and Camelot condominiums.

Earlier in the day, the same five council members voted in favor of condemning a Kahala condominium.

That vote came after nearly six hours of testimony, comments and a march of protest from Kahemaheha Schools supporters earlier in the day.

Kamehameha Schools, who owns the land under the Kahala condo, argued against leashold conversion, saying it needs the land for future commercial development to help the schools.

"The greater public good will not be served by condemning this land and decreasing the land control of this private landowner," Kamehameha student president Rebecca Soon said.

"We have qualified under the law r the condemnation of Kahala Beach condo for public purpose. We are willing to buy the fee at a fair market price pleas pass resolution 02-300," Kahala Beach Condominium owner Lola Gebauer said.

Admiral Thomas is owned by First United Methodist Church. The Camelot is owned by the Kekuku Estate and the Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
