Construction plans for a Chick-fil-A in Kailua are on hold after human remains turned up on the lot, a setback for the developer but a win for Native Hawaiian burial protections.

• Two human teeth were found during an archaeological survey of the property near Hamakua Drive and Hahani Street.
• Officials say the remains are more than 50 years old and likely Native Hawaiian.
• The project's own environmental plan requires all digging to stop and the state to be called in when remains show up.
• The Oahu Island Burial Council will decide whether the remains stay where they are or get moved.

Outlook: The burial council's ruling will determine how and when the restaurant can move forward.
