The efforts of Nevada casino owner Ralph Engelstad and his wife, Betty, to build the home of their dreams in Lanikai have been chronicled in several past issues of Environment Hawai`i. Most recently, their house plans have been brought before the Board of Land and Natural Resources for approval or denial. The staff of the Office of Conservation and Environmental Affairs recommended the Board require the Engelstads to return with something a little more modest than the 30,000-square-foot edifice the Engelstads are proposing.
