Johns - <br /> Chairperson of the Board of <br /> Land and Natural Resources <br /> 1151 Punchbowl Street <br /> Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 <br /> Dear Mr. Johns: <br /> Re: Request for Legal Interpretation of the Definition of <br /> "Public Highway" under HRS 264-1 (a) <br /> THE QUESTION <br /> This is in response to your predecessor's May 6, 1998 <br /> memorandum asking whether the Board of Land and Natural Resources <br /> (BLNR) may sell an access easement over a "paper road."' To put <br /> it another way, the question is, does the BLNR own paper roads, <br /> pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 264-2, so that it may <br /> dispose of said roads under § 171-13, HRS. <br /> 1 For purposes of this opinion, the term "paper road" means a road which <br /> has been planned by the government for the purpose of providing access to a <br /> government created homestead lot, but does not actually exists on the ground. <br /> Often paper roads are shown on subdivision maps. <br /> <br />
