Sandbags line the shoreline fronting the Hololani condos in West Maui on Thursday. Hololani and contractor Goodfellow Bros. had been fined by the county and state for shoreline work that sparked concern after an excavator was pictured operating in the ocean. The Maui Planning Commission voted Wednesday to reduce a $75,000 county fine to $20,000 to be more in line with the fines levied by the state. The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
