The observatories already are heiau's, just most of the population hasn't come to that realization yet.
The plan now is decommission 3 observatories and they will be taken down to the pad level. Then 3 more state of the art will go in place of those. Also, Keck will have several more smaller ones around it on its allotted space. There will be no more new pad spaces after TMT.
Remember, some of the speculation around here is acting like the Hawaiian Kingdom was a done deal, and it is far, far from that. In the meantime, the technical kama'aina are going to keep proceeding into the future. Better to accept that TMT is the luakini po'okanaka heiau of Hawaii island.
