NO. 1057 <br /> <br /> The Council is considering a resolution to form an ad hoc committee to look at the use of <br /> Mud Lane. There has been some concern expressed about its about its potential use as a <br /> through road once the segment that is currently overgrown has been rebuilt as a gravel <br /> road to allow vehicular access to the Waimea 660 LLC property that the County sold to <br /> private parties a few years ago. This letter is to give some background information to the <br /> Council that might be helpful. It is based on a review of the tax maps, aerial photos from <br /> the 1970's and 1993, more recent satellite photos, the Pacific Legacy archaeological <br /> inventory survey report dated November 2007, and field inspection, but not archival <br /> research or interviews with residents or kama'aina who might have other information. <br /> Summary: although it will be possible to drive from the Belt Highway near Waimea to <br /> Kukuihaele once the section to Waimea 660 has been rebuilt, this cannot be done using <br /> only the legal alignments of Mud Lane. A driver would also have to use private roads <br /> that are currently ungated. Although this would cut the driving distance substantially, <br /> from 16.5 miles to 6.5 miles one way, it would reduce the driving time only slightly, if at <br /> all, at the expense of wear and tear on a vehicle from using gravel roads. <br /> <br /> The attached map shows the basic information. It does not show all of the private roads in <br /> the area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm. No. <br /> <br /> Hawaii County is an Equal opportunity Provider and Employer. Ref. To- <br /> Ref.
