HERBERT K. GALLAGHER P. 0. BOX 1687 KAMUELA HAWAII 96743 August 18, 1998 Councillor Dominic Yagong Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni Street County Clerk's Office Hilo Hawaii, 96720 Re: MUD LANE Dear Councillor Yagong Pursuant to our telephone discussion of last Sunday morning, August 16, 1998, I am enclosing two maps which will be of assistance to you in presenting the issues concerning Mud Lane to your colleagues and to Corporation Counsel.The issues are as follows: 1. In the past three years, Parker Ranch has sold off some 1140 acres of land in the form of 26 lots ranging four 27 to 65 acres. Owners of these 26 parcels are now taxpayers to the County of Hawaii. This land is known as the Waikoekoe Lots being a portion of Land Commission Award 8559-B Apana 2 to WilliamC. Lunalilo Boundary Certificate No. 33 and a portion of Deed of Kamehameha IV to William C. Lunalilo,. See survey map by Inaba Engineers. There are still two parcels of land owned by Parker Ranch which are accessed by the Ranch Road and by Mud Lane. 2. Mud Lane in recent months has become close to impassable with the heavy rains . One owner was recently trapped between a fallen tree and a horse trailer which prevented her from backing up and had to spend the night after calling both the police and the highway department and being refused help by both as they told her it was a private road! It is not the position of thes two departments to make such a decision. 3. Mud Lane has become a dumping ground of old tires, refigerators, car bodies and even dead pigs . Who should we call" 4. We would like to work with the county in resolving not only the ownership of Mud Lane but also addressing Fire , Police, and medical evacuation We will expect to hear from you regarding a meeting with the County Council. Meanwhile the two associations, West and East will get together and try and assemble other abbutors to Mud Lane
