all right thanks so much Pete in the case of a house being built on the big island a judge is asking both sides to consider settling multiple parties are being sued by an aahu developer who expected the house to go up on his property and not the property next door ARB gallon bureau chief Jeremy Lee follows up in the case of a house built on the wrong property lot after weeks of appearing in court here in kyou aona a judge has ordered both sides to meet in a closed session to try to come up with an agreement the hope is by the end of Wednesday an agreement can be reached with both sides having made proposals on Monday however productive negotiations have not been the strength between the two parties we don't think they intend to settle the attorney for property owner Anne Reynolds told Island news but the local developer told Island news that's what they've been trying to do all along but the settlement demands keep going up from the wronged lot owner and the local developer says he simply doesn't have the funds that Reynolds has been asking for settlement demands have exceeded a half million doll according to multiple sources the attorney for Reynolds points out that trees on the land were raised and invasive Alesia trees now are growing instead testimony from Reynolds also maintains that the lot had specific spiritual value to Reynolds and Reynolds sought a court injunction that would compel the contractor to tear down down the $300,000 house mistakenly built on her lot which she characterized in court as a monstrosity it's a step that one of the developers told Island news they are now prepared to take the California woman acquired the lottin Hawaiian Paradise Park for $222,000 years ago in a tax auction Island news has learned that the highest offer by the Developers for compensation was $160,000 a real estate agent familiar with the case from the developer side testified that 1 acre HPP lots are laid out on a grid with hundreds of lots that are virtually identical dozens are currently on the market but to complicate matters Reynolds lot does not have a clear title as it was purchased at a tax auction that means the estate of the former owner could technically lay claim to the lot so a mortgage is an impossibility when it comes to trying to sell off the lot and house together both sides hope for some clarity from the judge after Wednesday no other court dates are scheduled at this time reporting from kylo aona Jeremy Lee Island news
